THE STANDARD PREPARATION.
On. scHwARTZE'S COMPOUND EXTRACT
OF sARSAPARILLA,


OF sARsAPARILLA,
The astonishing success ilh which disease has
been combated by This powerful remedy for the last
three years, IN fhe Dtstriet q Columbia and other
places has induced the proprietor lis claims
in more conspicuous manner, nnder sincere con.
yictioD that its Invaluable and unerrng remedicai
virtues will benefit thousands under WHOSE notice
II may come. Therefor, he would urge II upon all
who read this NOT to let il pass unnoticed, bur give
II that attention 10 which 1t is 50 deservedly emil
tied.
will testify 10 Its never-iaing efficacy, viz:
Scrofula in any form;
Incipient stages of Consumption, when proceeding
from scrolnous habit;
Chronic Rheumatism Bronchitis;
Dyspepsia, when proceeding from hepatic derangs-
nient.
Constitutional Syphilis; General Debility;
Habitlnl Costumes CntaneOus Affections, and
all diseases arising from deranged secre0ns or inn
pnrities of the blood.
Persons taking this remedy should not grow I'M
patient or become too sangune in their hopes Of
rapid restoration to health, as Its efficacy depends
measureably upon the strength of constitution and
the length OF time that disease has prevailed; there
fore would say to all who may feel disposed TO test
Its virtues not to commence before they fully de-
lermined to continue lis use, whether II be one bot
tie, dozen, or more, rs no two cases are exactly
similar, or can be relieved by any stated number In
anticipation.
The accompanying certifcatesare from gentlemen
Of responsibility residing in Washington city and not
from those abroad, to whom would refer all those
who are in the least doubtful. Hundreds of testi-
monias can be produced as to efficacy, but as they
arc seldom ever reod, or credence given to lhem
have thought few respectable certificates, coming
from gentlemen well known would suffice.
