HREAT DISCOVERY IN THE HEAL-
" ING ART.-Important to invalids and friends
of the sick.-Medicinc, however eficacious has al
ways been taken with dissatisfaction by the sick
owing to its unpleasant nature Hence it has ever
been the study of all great physicians disguise its
nauscous taste. But their efforts have never been
crowned with complete success. 1t was left for DR.
Smith to accomplish. Having given the subject his
unremitung attention for nearly two years, he has,
after spending considerable amount of money,
produced n medicine which, while it is every way
agreeable to the palate is to triumph over DIS
EASE and all opposition, and to repay him for his
devotion to the improvement of medical science.
