THE GREATEST

DR.. KENNEDY, of Roxbury, has discoveredin one
EVERY KIND OF HUMOR;
From the worst ScrofuId down to a COM

from the 1COTSt Scr0TutG 0OUn 10 q COM
mon pimple.
He has tried it in over 100 cases, and pevsr
failed except in two cases, both thunder humor.)
He has now in his possession over two hundred

Boston.

9 this in the vicini y of Boston. 1 know the effect
of it ill every case. So sure as water will extin-
. guish fire, SO sure will this cure humor. / never
S sold a bottle of it but that sold another; after a
J trial it always speaks foritself. There are two things
: about this herb that appears to me surprising first
x that it grows In our pastures, in some places quite
plentiful, and yet its value has never been
known until l discovered it in 1646-second, that
it should cure all kinds of humor.
In order to give some idea of the sudden rise
and great popularity of the discovery, I will state
D that in April, 1853, 1 peddled it, and sold about
~ six bottles per day-in April, 1854, I sold over one
thousand bottles per day of it.
Some of the wholesale Druggists who have beer
in business twenty and thirty years, say that moth
ing in the annals of patent medicines was evel
like it. There is a universal praise of it from al
quarters.
In my own practice I always kept it strictly fo
humors-but since its introduction as a genera
family medicine, great and wonderful virtues hav
been found in it that l never suspected.
Sew ral cases o. epileptic fts-a disease whicl
was always considered incurable, have been cure
bn by a few bottles. 0, what a mercy if it will prov
% effectual in all cases of that awful m~alady-ther
Il. are but few who have seen more of it than l have
rs know of several cases Of Dropsy, all of thel
aged people, cured by it. For the various disease
- of the Liver, Sick Headache, Dyspepsia, Asthma
Fever and Ague, Pain in the Side, Diseases of til
Spine, and particularly in diseases of the Kidney
led DC. the discovery has done more good than an
in medicine ever known.
OF No change of diet ever necessary-eat the be
Up, you can get and enough Of it.
