Commissioner's Office, " Laurens Court House, Kov. 85, 1598 50 Montague's Balm, An Indi an Remedy For the Tooth- Ache. THE established reputation and constantly in creasing demand tor this effectual remedy of Kin and preservative of the teeth, has induced the oprietor to offer it to the American public. Ar rangements have been made to supply agents in all the principal cities and towns in the United States, so as to place it within the reach of those suffering and likely to suffer with this most harassing of all Aches, TOOTH- AC HE. The cause or decay r.\ teeth is the depositing of small particles of masticated food (either animal or vegetable) in the indentations of the teeth, or be tween them, which there remain until decay of this food takes placc, the acidity of which decomposes the tooth. The great difficultyofnfl that have writ ten treatises on the teeth, has been, to recommend a liquid, that would mix itself up with this fetid mat ter, so as to weaken it to such a degree, as to pre vent it* affecting the teeth. This {discovery (purely accidental) has not only been brought to light, by the use of which the de cay may be arrested ? but its application to an aching tooth (when the nerve can be reached) affords almost instantaneous relief. And if its use is continued until the bottle is consumed, none need apprehend pain from the same touth. Jt may b unremarked, that the teeth are as subject to ache, as any other bone of the system, and in the same way. Hut for tooth ache, proper, a remedy is now offered to the public, tluU has become the wonder, as well as the admira tion of every one that has become acquainted with its reputation. Since a remedy ,has been discov ered for a disease so general and so excruciating as the tooth-ache, the proprietor has been more than i ever struck with the grand ancT benevolent provis ions made for man, in all his afflictions, and is fully . satisfied, that the earth is supplied with a remedy at I hand for every disease, w here the cause may be traced. A few extracts of letters are published, in place of the numerous certificates, that might be; as they oc cupy less space, are less expensive, and inspire the public with equal confidence. From Dr. K. R. Calhoun. Abbeville, S. C., March 21. Dear Sir ? I wish you to ship two gross, pr more if you can spare it, of your' balm. You may expect me to make a strong pull on you in a short time, for as its reputation increases, I shall spare no pains in its management. If you should feel disposed te sell the right of'this state, and all south of this place, in form' me your terms. I wish you, at any mte te give mo the refusal, whenever you feel disposed to make that kind of a trade. I remain. yours, E. R, CALHOUN. I plugged a tooth for a lady in Petersburg, which, from its very sensitive condition, I was unable to shape the cavity so as to retain the plug; and after two or three trials, I recommended the use ofMoa tague's Balm, which so deadened the surface of the cavity as to enable me to. shape it perfectly, and plug the tooth permanently. S. M. SHEAPHERD, Surgeon Dentist. Petersburg, 3d Jan., 1836. We invite the attention of all persons afflicted with thatmost excruciating complaint, the tooth ache, to the advertisment of Mr. Montague, publish ed (in to-day's paper.) We have a guarantee in the high standing and^spectability of Mr- Montague, (with whom we are acquainted,) that his medicine is not one of those thousand empiricisms which are constantly palmed upon the eredulity of the public. In addition to the many testimonials which he has furnished of its efficacy, we will state a fact which comes under our own knowledge. A lady of thk.: village had been suffering for several weeks with] tooth-ache, and was immediately and permanently relieved by the application of the balm. ? Boydlon (Va.) Expositor. Mattuews Comut House, May 20th, 1836, To H. B. Montague: \ < Dtar Str ? while we were in Norfolk on eur return from Petersburg we saw a man at the Union Hotel (the place that we put up at) who had the tooth-ache very badly, and could get no relief: we^recommend ed your Balm, and showed, or rather went with him to the place where it could be obtained, He bought a bottle and tried it, and in less than five minutes he was relieved. He said he had tried every thing he , could think of at different times, but this was the first thing he ever met with that ever re ieved him. He said he would recommend it to every body, and was willing to give his certificate as to the efficacy of it. With respect, yours &c. THOMAS S. LEWIS, CHARLES H. EDWARDS. Huntington , near Cabin Point, 24 th March. H. B. Mo. vta a Dear Sir. ? I bought a bottle of y<mr Balm ftaOr; Messrs , in Petersburgin February, chiefly be cause I had a servant who had suffered most excru ciatingly for some months. We had tried all the remedies which were in our reach; an attempt was made to extract the tooth,, but it broke off I caused the Balm to be used after warming it in a cup ? this was repeated with a second spoonful, when she was entirely relieved. The next night she came a gaiitfor more, saying that a tooth on the other side ached and also requested some for her husband* whom, she said, had been suffering with the s tm? disease fbrsome weeks. I cheerfuUy ' gave it, and the next day on inquiry found that both had been relieved. One of m y neighbors of high respectabili ty sent to me for some for his wife. Ihave this day seen him, and he assures me that it trfforded imme diate relief, and there has been no return ; before, she suffered almost constantly, and could not bear to let cold water touch the tooth, and for two nights previous to the application she had not been abl,e to sleep scarcely at all . Now she has no inconveei ? ence from cold water or any thing else that eomes in contact with the tooth. Phe night before last he used some with one of his men with the same suc cess, and says ifhe could have had this remedy fif teen years ago, and known its efficacy, he would willingly have given a hundred dollars forit. Ihave written in haste, giving a plain statement of facts. Yours respccfully, WM. F. R. RUFFIN. ? Albemarle, April, 1836. Dear Sir : ? Several persons with diseased gums, or scurvy, have used the Balm, and are so much de lighted with it, that we are charged to keep a- sup ply. The ladies are using it with the tootn-brush, and say that it is the best thing for the teeth and gums they have ever -used. Allow us to congratu late you and the public, at the discovery and use of the only real remedy (exoept drawing) for tooth ache, that has yet been discovered. ? ? Respectfully yours, R. R. & T. T. G. Persons taking medicine, with a view to salivation, should, by all means, use at least a bottle of the Balm with the tooth-brush, (applying it three or four times a day) as an astringent, in order to have the^umsin a healthy state, for the protection of the tectn. After mercurial action, it should be used free ly, to cause the gums to adhere at once to the teeth, to guard against looseness, and falling out. Indeed, it ie the best wash for the mouth, during salivation, that can be used. If too strong at first, add a small portion of water. It is with peculiar pleasure that the proprietor hea'Vsof the good already done, while he contem plates the relief yet to be afforded by this widely spreading remedy. He regrets, iiowem, that fee ' has hot been able to supply the demand. The pre parations, though large, were not based on "its sud den and unexampled popularity. The demand has surpassed all calculation ; but arrangements are now making, which will enable all applicants to get a supply as it is ordered. When applied according to directions given on the bottle, it has never failed to afford immediate and permoneut relief. If also arrests the decay in defective feeth, and relieves that soreness whicn so frequently renders a strong tooth useless. The application and remedy are simjde, innocent and no unpleasant, 'and the large number of persons in dif ferent sections of the country, that have already experienced such delightful and salutary effects from the use of the Balm, are ready to bear, (for the public good,) their testimony, to its unrivaled qualities. It is an Indian remedy obtained singular ly and unexpectedly, and may be regarded by the civilized world, as the most valuable discovery of die Red Man of the Woods.? PRICE ONE DOLLAR each. II. B.
