The Great Kentucky Remedy!
RuLLlS SARSAPhRILLA.

ItAN the reader believe that there is still
~ few human beings suffering with dis
ease, that refuse TO give Bulls Sarsaparilla
q trail. 1t is indeed hard to believe, but
nevertheless it is too true. What kind OF
Testimony wo Id it take to convince the
few remaining disbeiievers, that Bulls
medicine will do more even than 1t prom
ises. II is more than useless to produce
any more evidence Of its curative pro .es-
ties. IL would cost fortune to publish
tie many certificates that have been show
cred on DIR. Bull. The largest mammoth
sheet in America would not contain even
the names of those cured-let alone full
statements of their cases.
This medicine, when used according to
directions, will cure without fail,-
Scrofu!a, or kings evil, cancers, tumors,
eruptions of the skin, erysipelas, chronic
sore eyes, ring worm or letter, scald head,
rheumatism, pains in the bones or joints,
old sores and GERS, swelling of the glands,
syphilis, dyspepsia, salt rhcum, diseases Of
the kidneys, diseases arising from the use of
mercury, loss Of appetite, pain in the side
or shoulders, general debility, lumbago,
dropsy, jaundice, costiyeness, bronchitis,
sore throat, coughs, colds, weakness of the
chest, pulmonary affections andl all other
diseases tending to produce consumption,
liver complaints. female Irregularities and
complaints, sick and nervous headache,
low spirits, night sweats, exposure or i'm
prudence in life, chronic constitutional
diseases, and as spring and summer drink
and general tonic for the system, and gen.
tie and pleasant purgative, it is superior to
Blue Lick and Congress water, salts or seid-
litz powders.
