THE GREATEST
MEDICAL DISCOVERY
OF THE AGE.
DIR. KENNEDY, of Roxbury, has discoveredin ont
of our common pasture weeds a remedy that cures
EVERY KIND OF HUMOR;
From tho sOorst scrofuya doon to a COM
mon pimple.

FROM tNO WOFSC " UtU UOuH ~ u CO"S
mon pimple.
He has tried it in over 100 cases, and Devar
failed except in two cases, (both thunder humor.)
He has now in his possession over two hundred
certificates of its virtue, al within twenty miles OF
Boston.
Two bottles are warranted to cure q nursing sore
mouth.
One to three bottles will cure the worst kind of
Pimples on the face.
Two to three bottles will clear the system Of
Biles.
Two bottles are warranted to cure the worst
canker in the mouth and stomach.
Three to five bottles are warranted to cure the
woast case of Erysipelas.
One to two bottles are warranted to cure all hui
NOR in the Eyes.
Two bottles are warranted to cure running OF the
ears and blotches among the hair.
Four to six bottles are warranted to cure cor
rupt and running ulcers.
One bottle will cure scaly %eruptions of the skin.
Two to three bottles are warranted to cure the
worst case ofringworm.
Two to three bottles are warranted to cure the
most desperate case of rheumatism.
Three to four bottles are warranted to cure the
salt rheum.
Five to eight bottles will cure the worst cases of
s~crofula.
A benefit is always experienced from the first
bottle, and a perfect cure is warranted when the
above quantity is taken.
Reader, I peddled over o thousand bottles OF
this in the vicinity of Boston. l know the ehect
of it i'll every case. So sure as water will extln-
guish fire, so sure will this cure humor. [ never
sold a bottle of it but that sold another; after q
trial it always speaks for itself. There are two thing
about this herb that appears to me surprising frs
that it grows in our pastures, IN some places quit
plentiful, and yet its value has never beef
known until l discovered it in 1S46-second,t tina
it should cure all kinds of humor.
In order to olive some idea of the sudden riS
and great popularity of the discovery, | will stat
that in April, 1858, I peddled it, and sold abOu
six bottles per day-in April, 1854, 1 sold over on
thousand bottles per day of it.
Some Of th wholesale Druggists who have bee
in business twenty and thirty years, say that moth
ing in the annals of patent medicines was eve
, like it. There is a universal praise of it from a
] quarters.
. In my own practice 1 always kept it strictly fl
II humorS-but since its introduction as a gener
|, family medicine, great and wonderful virtues hay
been found in it that 1 never suspected.
4 Sew eral cases o. epileptic fts-a disease whic
I was always considered incurable, have been cure
II by a few bottles. 0, what a mercy if it will pro-
! ~effectual in all cases of that awful malady-the
are but few who have seen moro of it than | hav
I know of several cases of Dropsy, all of the
aged people, cured by it. For the various diseas
of the Liver, Sick Headache, Dyspepsia, Asthln
Fever and Ague, Pain in the Side, Diseases of t
Spine, and particularly in diseases of the kidne.
&c. the discovery has done more good than al
=. medicine ever known.
~, no change Of diet ever necessary-eat the b.
ne you can get and enough of it.
