matter of how long standing.
If you have contracted the terrible disease which,
when once seated in the system will surely go down
from one generation to another, undermining the
constitution and sapping the very vital fluids otlite,
do not trust yourself in the hands of quacks, who
start up every day and fill the papers with false

those not acquainted with their tricks. You cannot
be too careful in the selection of remedy in these
cases.
The Fluid Extract Buchu has been pronounced
by eminent physicians the greatest remedy ever
known. 1t is medicine perfectly pleasant in its
taste and very innocent in its action and vet so
thorough that it annhlates every particle Of the
rank and poisonous virus of this dreadful disease
and, unlike other remedies, it does dry up the
disease in the blood.
Constitutional Debility, broueh on by self abuse,
terrible disease, which has brought thousands
of the human to untmely graves, thus blasting
the brilliant hopes of parents, and bl2htrg in the
bud the glorious ambition of many noble youth
can be cured by this Infallible Remedy. Aida a
medicine which must benefit everybody, from the
simply delicate to the confined and despairng inva
lid no equal is to be found acting both cure
and preventive.

Several cases of secondary Syphilis, Mercurialand
ScrofulOus diseases have entirely recovered in the
