MEDICAL DISCOVERY

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

From the acorst scrofuIa dorm to a COM
mon plDapte.
He has tried it in over 100 cases, and never
failed except in two cases, (both thunder humor.)
lie has now in his possession over two hundred
certificates of its virtue, al within twenty miles of

Reader, / peddled over a thousand bottles of
this in the vicinity of Boston. know the effect
of it i'll every case. So sure as water will extin-
E guish fire, so sure will this cure humor. I never
e sold a bottle of it but that sold another; after q
y trial it always speaks for itself. There aTytwo things
70 about this herb that appears to me surprising first
is that it grows in our pastures, in some places quite
plentiful, and yet its value has never been
10 known until / discovered it in 1846-second, that
er it should cure all kinds of bumor.
p In order to give some idea of the sudden rise
and great popularity of the discovery, I will state
C. that in April, 1853, I peddled it, and sold about
six bottles per day-in April, 1854, I sold over one
thousand bottles per day of it.

ing in the annals of patent medicines was eve
like it. There is a universal praise of it from al
quarters.
In my own practice I always kept it strictly TO
no humorS-but since its introduction as a genera
family medicine, great and wonderful virtues hav
been found in it that / never suspected.
