Many years Of trial, instead of impair,
ing the public confidence in this medicine,
has won for it an appreciation and notori-
ETY. by far exceeding the most sanguine ex-
pectations of its friends. Nothing but its
intrinsic virtues and the unmistakable
benefit conferred on thousands of suffer
ers, could originate and maintain the rep
utation it enjoys. While many inferior
remedies thrust upon the community, have
failed and been discarded, this has gained
friends by every trial, conferred benefits
on the afflicted they can never forget, ami
produced cures too numerous and>too re-
markable TO be forgotten.
While it is fraud on the pub G to pre-.
tend that any one medicine will infallibly
