transported To any distance and kept for any desired
length Of time without the slightest deterioration oil

the kidneys, chronic inflammation of the bladder,
gleet, hcmorrhoids piles, hypochondrasis or low

and liver, spasmodic affections, unattended with fever,
water brash, .darrhGa chronic dysentcry general
debility, unattended with acute disease. In chlorosls
