COMPOUND FLUID EXTRACT OF

n
SARSAPARILLA AND QUEENS
DELIGHT.
There are few cases of chronic and painful
Rheumatism that will not yield to the influ-
ence of Sarsaparilla and Queens Delight if
duly persevered. especially if taken in con-
junction with Hydr. of Potash, times called
Mercurial Rheumatism (violent pains in the
bones, &c.,) resulting from the mercury taken
by patients during severe fevers and other
protracted disease.
1t is highly recommended for all diseases
of the skin, chronic as we'll as recent. One
bottle will, in most instances, efectualy re-
move all pimples, postules, or blotches on the
face, to which young persons in this climate
are 80 much subjected to. arising either from
impurity of the blood or debility. It is the
best remedy known for scrofulous affections,
sores, and breakings out in young children,
and is safe and efficacious in removing entire
ly every trace of hereditary diseases from the
system in the tenderest infant; in fact in all Gu
,taneous affections it is invaluable. AS a gen.
eral purifier of the blood, and an eradcator of
all obstinate diseases this preparation will un.
doubtedly take the precedence OF all other re-
medies. 1t gently operates upon and reg
ulates the bowels, restores to the blood its
wonted purity, gives tone to the stomach, and
promotes digestion.
1t will ctfcctually relieve Erysapelas eren
in Its worst stages, and all persons suffering
from this distressing complaint are advised to
use it, first SO, but if no marked relief be found
after taking one bottle, it will be necessary
to use the Hydriodated Potash with it.
Not wishing to publish certificates as is
done in the case Of alfquack medicines of the
day, to effect their sale, and 80 force them up
on the public, the subscriber begs leave to
state that this preparation las been prescribed
and used by number OF Physicians and Plan
