mo ptnpte.
He has tried it in over 100 cases, and pevsr

b Reader, 1 peddled over a thousand bottles OF
q this in the vicinity of Boston. I know the effect
of it in every case. So sure as water will extin-
guish fire, so sure will this cure humor. / never
sold a bottle of it but that sold another; after a
trial it always speaks for itself. There are two things
about this herb that appears to me surprising frs
- that it grows in our pastures, in some places quite
ee plentiful, and yet its value has never beer
known until I discovered it in 1S46-second, tha
it should cure all kinds of humor.
In order to give some idea of the sudden ris
and great popularity of the discovery, / will stat
that in April, 1853, I peddled it, and sold abou
six bottles per day-in April, 1854, l sold over on
thousand bottles per day of it.
Some of the 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.
Ok In my own practice I always kept it strictly fc
0s humors-but since its introduction as a gener;
o. family medicine, great and Wonderful virtues hay
.05 been found in it that l never suspected.
Sew eral cases o. ~epileptic fts-a disease whic
was always considered incurable, have been cure
by a few bottles. 0, what a mercy if it will prov
OF effectual in all cases of that awful malady-the
o. are but few who have seen more Of it than l haV
| know of several cases of Dropsy, all of the
aged people, cured by it. For the various diseas
20 of the Liver, Sick Headache, Dyspepsia, Asthm
70 Fever and Ague, Pain in the Side, Diseases of Il
Spine, and particularly in diseases of the Kidney
&c. the discovery has done more good than al
medicine ever known.
Is Ito change of diet ever necessary-eat the be
UGH you can get and enough of it.
