DR.. KENNEDY, of Roxbury, has discoveredin one
of our common pasture weeds a remedy that cures
EVERY KIND OF HUMOR;

From the worst scrofula down to a COM
mon plmpte.
lie has tried it in over 100 cases, and never
failed except in two eases, (both thunder humor.)

u this in the vicinity of Boston. [ know the effect
!. of it i'll every case. So sure as water will extln.
l. guish fire, so sure will this cure humor. l never
sold a bottle of it but that sold another after
GU trial it always speaks for itself. There are two thing
u about this herb that appears to me surprising frs
e; that it grows in our pastures, in some places quit
n plentiful, and yet its value has never beef
:: known until 1 discovered it in 1846-second, tina
no it should cure all kinds of humor.
,s. In order to give some idea of the sudden rs
10 and great popularity of the discovery, / will stat
that in April, 1853, I peddled it, and sold abou
Ia six bottles per day-in April, 1854, / sold over on
III; thousand bottles per day of it.
ir- Some of the wholesale Druggists who have bee
err in business twenty and thirty years, say that noti
< ing in the annals of patent medicines was eve
10 like it. There is a universal praise of it from a
" quarters.
In my own practice I always kept it strictly Fl
humors-but since its introduction as a gener
ty. family medicine, great and wonderful virtues ha'
lay been found in it that I never suspected.
will Sew eral cases o. epileptic fts-a disease Whi'
,os- was always considered incurable, have been cur
by q few bottles. O, what a mercy if it viii pro
effectual in all cases of that awful malady-the
us, are hut few who have seen more of it than I ha,
I know of several cases Of Dropsy, all of thu
aged people, cured by it. For the various diseas
of the Liver, Sick Headache, Dyspepsia, Asthm
ZIG Fever and Ague, Pain in the Side, Diseases of
Spine, and particularly in diseases of the Kidne
$50 &c. the discovery has done more good than a
medicine ever known.
. No change of diet ever necessary--eat the b
you can get and enough of it.
