HembOld's Genuine Preparations.
Hembold'sl Highly Concentrated =
Compound Fluid Extract BucI,tr

For diseases of the Bladder and Kidneys, Sc
cret Diseases, Structures. Weakness and all
diseases of the Sexual Organs, whether in
Male or Female, from whatever cause they
may have originated, and no matter of how
long standing.
f you have contracted the terrible disease
i which, when once seated in the system, will
surely go down from one generatian to another,
undermining the constitution and sapping the
very vital fluids of life, do not trust yourself
in the hands of Quacks, who start up every day
in city like this, and fill the papers with glar-
ing falsehoOds, too well calculated to deceive the
young, those not acquainted with their tricks.
You cannot be too careful in the selection of Il
remedy in these cases.
The Fluid Extract Buchu has been pronounc-
ed by eminent physicians the greatest remedy
ever known. 1t is medicine perfectly pleas
ant in its taste, and very innocent in its action
and yet thorough that it anihilates every
particle of the rank and poisonous virus of this
dreadful disease; and, unlike other remedies
does not dry up the disease in the blood.
I. Constitutional Debility, brought on by self
abuse, most terrible disease which has brought
thousands of the human race to untimely graves
thus blasting the brilliant hopes of parents
and blighting in the bud the glorious ambition
Infallible Remedy. And as a medicine which
must benefit everybody, from the simply deli
cate to the confined and despairing invalid, NJ
equal is to be found acting both as a cure and
preventive.

Hembold's Highly Concentrated
COMPOUND FLUID EXTRACT
SARSAPARILLA.

For Purifying the Blood, removing all diseases
arising from excess of Mercury, exposure and
imprudence in life, chronic constitutional
disease, arising from an impure state of the
blood, and the only reliable and efectual
known remedy for the cure of Scrofula Salt
Rheunl, Scald Head, liberation of the Throat
and Legs, Pains and Swellings of the Bones,
letter Pimples on the Face, and all Scaly
Eruptions of the Skin.
FTNIIIS article is now prescribed by some of the
i most distinguished physicians in the coun-
try, and has proved more efficient in practice
than any preparation of Sarsaparilla yet offer
cd to the public. Several cases of secondary
Syphilis, Mercural and Scrofulous diseases
have entirely recovered in the incurable wards
of our Public Institutions which had for many
years resisted every mode of treatment that
could be devised. These cases furnish striking
examples of the salutary effects of this medi-
cine in arresting some of the most inveterate
diseases after the glands were destroyed, and
the bones already affected.

and Professors of several Medical Colleges and
certificates of cures from patients viii be found
accompanying both Preparations.
