THE CHLORIDE OF GOLD


For Primary Syphilis. How long have the
medical profession tried in vain to discover some
the-reputlcal agent that could be relied upon to
cure disease more to be dreaded than all others
combined. Some Quack Doctors advertise to cure
veneTeal diseases without the use of mercury
But their statements are false. We have taken
pains to collect the receipts of some who make
a great noise, and we find that they use the To-
dine of Mercury for everything, whether it is
proper or not, and since we find them misrepre-
senting in this particular we have reason to sus-
pect them and I'D omne genus' in all their pre-
tensions.
Gentlemen, there never was remedy capable
of curing the disease without mercury, until the
discovery of the Chloride of Gold, and we submit
II to the test, having thoroughly tried it, and
know it to possess all the qualities attributed to it.
DIR. Christian says:-The Chloride of Gold is
capable of curing Syphalis under all its forms,
and that in its general operations on the system,
it possesses many advantages over mercury IL
is efficacious yet gentle. 1t may be administered
with perfect safety at all seasons OF the year, and
under any complication of the disease Persons
of either sex may be put upOnlt with equal safe
ty the only caution enjOined is strict temperance.
In other respects the patient Is not required to
change his mode of living.
Dr. Samuel L. Mitchell, the distinguished sur
geon of New York, speaks IN the following words;
The Chloride of Gold possesses admirable VIZ
tues against Syphalis. The patient gets well I'M
der the operation of the medicine, with incOnl-
parabIy less inconvenience, without the hazard
of sore mouth or salvation, and with very 1T
tie wear and tear of the constitution. l consider
the introduction Of this preparation III common
use, as one of the greatest improvements III MOD
ern medicine, and | wish it was already as uni
versal as the malady it cures.
Other distinguished members of the medical
profession have given testimony of the great val
ne of the remedy the statements OF whom we
have in our possession.
Gentlemen we shall be glad to see you at any
tine-we are always prepared to attend to your
wants.
The above remedy will be sent to any persons

1t is just three weeks, you map recOllect, since
called at your Institute, with my constitution as
l thought, entirely broken, and never thought
you would be able to cure me perfectly, but tho't
you might be able to do something to ease the
pain in my back and head and strengthen nv
limbs, which were so weak that they would al
most give way under me when | walked, and to
strengthen my nerves so that | would not get eX-
cited and tremble at every little thing. Now that
you know what | expected, you may Judge at nv
satisfaction at my complete recovery from those
symptoms, and the removal of those splotcbes
and sores from my skin, and the ulcers from nv
throat, and the entire stoppage of those ennis
sions, which you said were principally the cause
of my sickness.
can hardly tell you which is the greatest, nv
joy or my surprise, for except not having fully
got my strength, l feel as well as any man can
feel
Enclosed I send you twenty dollars over YOUR
charge, and think myself cheapy cured If YOU
think anybody will be benefited, you NAV but

find relief, you have my permission to make this
public. Gratefully yours,

Never was there time when q better
spirit pervaded' the ranks Of the Democra-
tic party, than now. The defeat last fall,
was means of ridding us of all that class,
too numerous by far in this country, who ev-
er strive to be upon the popular side. Those
who remain are democrats from principle
democrats because they love and cherish the
doctrines of our faith. They are true and
willing to be tried. And now, when the
fundament al principles of the party are pu
in issue-when civil and religious liberty
are weighed in the balance, they are grid.
ing themselves for the contest, and all a
long the lines is heard the ralIying cry o
FORWARD" An honorable defeat is bette
than dishonoaable victory! But with
spirit like that which is now awakening al
over oer broad land, with such determine
ton as that which nerves every true Democr
tic heart, a complete and permanent trump
will sooner or later be ours. Let ever
democrat use all honorable means to haste
the day.
