They pretend that they have dis covered the philosophers stone, and that you may live through countless ages, if you but swallow their medicine. l practice no such deception My inedi- cine has stood the test of years-t is recommended by the most eminent of the medical faculty, and what is nf mn estly confess that my medicine is combination of .Sarsaparila Liuersoort, Peurisy Roet Lignaa Kta, and or two other ingredients, The only origin ality claim is in my peculiar mode of preparation. 1t is true, it has often been the wonder and amaze ment of my me4sa 'Lsaoren,1 the astonishing cures performed n sil sts8e Bse-e considered not within the DOW z. nc s The whole mystery con- sisted in r ? .a 3 .s a ne, and this alone to the exclusion F d. 5.,; fs:.l. i the correct principles upon whi-a atz1ss ' .-a.. a treated.
