Dr. Sweet's Infallible Liniment

From The New England Almanac, and Farmer's Friend, for the Year of Our Lord Christ 1863, I found this charming old advertisement, which I especially like due to the product's immodest self-description of "Infallible.".

Here is the text of this wonderful old document. 

DR. SWEET'S INFALLIBLE LINIMENT,

THE GREAT

EXTERNAL REMEMDY,

for the speedy and permanent cure of

RHEUMATISM,

Sprains, bruises, burns and scalds, neuralgia, stiffness of the joints, lumbago, headache, toothache, quinsy, sore throat, wounds, sores, piles and all

Rheumatic and Nervous Disorders.

This Liniment is prepared from the recipe of

DR. STEPHEN SWEET, of Connecticut.

THE GREAT NATURAL BONE SETTER,

whose name and fame have been as familiar as household words throughout the United States for nearly forty years, during which time, though never having changed his residence, his professional practice has embraced TWENTY-THREE STATES, and is believed to have comprised a larger experience in the treatment of external injuries than that of any other man living. This Liniment, now for the first time made public, is the result of his wide experience and practical skill: and having been thoroughly tested for twenty years, is fully guaratneed to perform all it promises, and is justly entitled to the term INFALLIBLE. It is truly a FRIEND IN NEED, which no Family, Hotel, Manufactory, Steamboat, Vessel, or Railroad, should be without; and the moderate price at which it is offered, places it within the reach of all. As a UNIVERSAL EXTERNAL REMEDY, for the IMMEDIATE RELIEF OF PAIN, it is unrivalled by any preparation before the public, of which the most skeptical may be convinced by a single trial.

Full Directions accompany each Bottle, Price 25 and 50 cts.
