IN consequence of the numerous frauds ana imPosi'

These bottles are much stronger than those hereto

The increasing demand for this celebrated medicine
has enabled me to reduce the price to TWO DOL.

Nv Panacea requires no encomium; Its astonishing

Patients and Medical Practitioners OF the hghest re-

The false reports concerning this valuable meoche'
which have been so diligently circulated by certain
