GORDON'S SPECIFIC MIXTURE.
This truly valuable Medicine is confidently recommended,
from the decided preference already established, as being the most effica-
cious remedy for all affections of the Urethra, without ind.ming nausea
and loss of appetite, complained of in other medicines, and may be taken
by the most delicate with the greatest safaty. The ingredients are per-
fectly harmles4, acting only on the parts affected, and not leaving behind
evil effects, which render it doubtful whether the remedy be not worse
than the disease. It will not only be found the most effectual, but by far the
cheapest medicine proscribed, being .sold in half and pint bottles, 21. lid.,
and 4s. 61, each. Two of the latter, in very inveterate cases, almost in.
variably effecting a cure.
To be had from ail wholesale and retail venders of patent/medicine., in
the kingdom. Full directions are attached to each bottle.
