THE roruLAtt MEDICINE.

FP-
ITE Proprietors of the invaluable Bemeciy, so
well known as PARR'S LIFE P., S, are constantly receiv-
ing from all parts of the United Kingdostances of their astonish-
ing curative powers . It would be imposs•ble to bring all the cases
before the public, suffice it to say, that cases of every description have
been cured simply by their use, thus showing tli hat has been con-
sidered different disorders, and requiting dffie pat,nent, all 4F R
ori-
ginated in the same cause, namely, an iinpure'tita d'aCthe blood, and
can be cured by one uniform treatment. Parr's Life Ms; although
powerful In conquering disease, yet are as pure and harmless as new
milk, and may be administered with confidence to the invalid, how-
ever weakly from long ill health, who will soon enjoy those delightful
semi units of a return to strong health, viz., good appetite, sound
41 ,•ep, and an increase of animal spirits. To have produced a medicine
a o benign and mild in its operation and effects, and yet so effectual in
searching out and curing disease of. however long standing, exhibits
en the part of Old l'arr deep research and a thorough knowledge of
his subject. Those who have been the instruments of restoring this
long ost secret to the world, feel confident when they make the asser-
tion—that none need despair, that if only a fair trial be given, the
result will be a restoration to health and happiness.
Whenever a medicine, or indeed'any other article becomes esta-
blished in the estimation of the public, and a large sale is created,
there arc always needy and unprincipled adventurers ready to deceive
the public by putting forward imitations under similar names, not hesi-
tating, by the most barefaced and unblushing effrontery, to support
their false statements, alike regardless of the injuries they inflict on
the purchasers, and the injustice they are guilty of to the proprietors.
