of an ill-treated venereal disease so depleted
that could do no work and had no wish to

THE CHLORIDE OF GOLD.

NOR Primary Syphals. How long have the
l. medical profession tried in vain to discov-
er some therepntcal agent that could be re-
lied upon to cure disease more to be dreaded
than all others combined. Some Quack Doc
tors advertise to cure venerial diseases with
ont the use Of mercury. But their statements
are false. We have taken pains to collect the
recipes Of some who make great noise, and
we find that they Use the Iodide of Mercury
for everything. whether it is proper or not,
and since we find them misreprcsenting in
this particular. we have reason to suspect
them and I'D omne genus in all their pre-
tensions.
Gentlemen. there never was remedy capa-
bic of curing the disease without mercury.
until the discovery Of the Chloride of Gold,
and we submit it to the test. having thorough
ly tried it. and knowing it to possess all the
qualities attributed to it.
DR.. Christian says:-The Chloride of Gold
is capable of curing Syphais under all its
forms. and that in it's general operations on
the system. it possesses many advantages over
mercury. 1t is etficacious, yet gentle. 1t
may be administered with perfect safety at all
seasons of the year. and under any complica-
tions Of the disease. Persons Of either sex
may be put upon it with equal safety. the only
precaution enjoined is strict temperance. In

change his accustomed mode of living.
DR.. Samuel l.. Mitchell. the distinguished
Surgeon of New York, speaks in the following
words:
The Chloride of Gold possesses admirable
virtues against Syphals. The patient gets
well under the operation of the medicine,
with incomparably less Inconvenience, without
the hazard of a sore mouth or salvation, and
with very little wear and tear of the consti-
tntion. | consider the Introduction of this
preparation into common use, as one of the
greatest improvements in modern medicine,
and wish it was already as universal as the
malady it cures.
Other distinguished members of the medi-
cal profession have given testimony of the
great value of the remedy. the statements of
whom we have in our possession.
Gentlemen we 'hal be glad to see you at
any time-we are always prepared to attend
to your wants.
The above remedy will be sent to any per-
sons address who sends the price of the medi
cine. Price $40 Full directions will accom-
