First view: Alphonso loved dearly the blithe Imogene whose face was the fairest that ever was seen; but when he proposed, "Alas", Imogene said "I would gladly accept and with thee would wed, but with ugly eruptions your face is so scarred that all my life's future, with you would be marred, unless you remove them, so if me you'd have, you must cure them with Henry's Carbolic Salve."Second view: Alphonso this remedy tries -- and again pops the question -- nor does so in vain. Henry's Carbolic Salve has swept his face clean of every unsightly spot that was seen. As a compound for healing it's speedy and sure, and for burns, cuts and bruises, readiest cure.Third view: Beware of counterfeits and imitations. Henry's Carbolic Salve, the most powerful healing agent ever discovered. Henry's Carbolic Salve heals burns... cures sores... allays pain... cures eruptions... heals pimples... heals bruises. Ask for Henry's and take no other... John F. Henry & Co., Also proprietors of Dr. Wm. Hall's Balsam for the Lungs, Scovill's Blood and Liver Syrup, Baker's Pain Panacea, Dr. Mott's Liver Pills, etc. 24 College Place, New York.
