“ This truly wonderful agent was used a long time by the students of said Institute for a wash after shaving, etc., before its superior excellence became known— said .it made their faces smooth -^uured their chapped hands, etc. I must here relate a little incident that took place at the insti¬ tution, which caused me to introduce it to the public as a remedy for Wounds, Inflammation, etc. “One of the students had his arm very severely bruised and lacerated by being accidentally caught in the machinery of the Observatory, and was brought to my room in a fainting condition. His arm was dressed and the Dermador freely applied. The next morning the soreness was all gone, and the arm had not pained him any through the night. We were all greatly surprised at the happy result, I submitted the Dermador to various scientific physicians for trial, who all pronounced it the best external remedy they had ever used. I was, therefore, induced to introduce it to the public.” HOMER ANDERSON, A. M„ Late Prof. Chemistry, Clinton Liberal Institute, N. Y.
