more than one, or i'll obstinate cases, two bottles
to effect u cure. There is neither mercury nor
arsenic in the medicine, nor any thing injurious
to the human constitution. The propr.eto:s are
so well convinced of its efficacy, thst they agree
to refund the price of every bottle which has been
taksn in accordance with the directions and has
