THE GREATEST
MEDICAL DISCOVERY
OF THE AGE.
DR.. KENNEDY, of Roxbury, has discoveredin one
of our common pasture weeds a remedy that cures
EVERY KIND OF HUMOR:

From the aoorst scrofuLd dozen to a COM
mon ptmlpte.
He has tried it in over 100 cases, and Dever
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 a 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 Fry sipelas.
One to two bottles are warranted to cure all hu-
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 of ringworm.
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
dOOfO HudhlllJ IL tdhtus
= Reader, l peddled over a thousand bottles of
this in the vicinity of Boston. I know the effect
of it i'll every case. So sure as water will extin-
S guish fire, so sure will this cure humor. / never
Q Spld a bottle of it but that sold another after a
j Ahalitalways speaks for itself. There are wothings
Iabout this herb that appears to me surprising frs
mat 1T grows in our pastures, in some places quite
plentiful, and yet its value has never been
n known until 1 discovered it in 1946-second, tina
it should cure all kinds of humor,
In order to give some idea of the sudden rist
n and great popularity of the discovery, I will stat,
IS that in April, 1858, I peddled it, and sold abou
six bottles per day-in April, 1864, I sold over on,
thousand bottles per day of it.
Some of the wholesale Druggists who have BEEF
in business twenty and thirty years, say that moth
C. ing in the annals of patent medicines was eve
like it. There is a universal praise of it from al
/ quarters.
Il In my own practice I always kept it strictly fo
n. humors-but since its introduction as a genera
1. family medicine, great and wonderful virtues hav
been found in it that I never suspected.
t; Sew eral cases o. e~pileptic fts-a disease whic
l. was always considered incurable, have been cure
Y. by a few bottles. 0, what a mercy if it will prov
n. ~efectual in all cases of that awful malady-ther
are but few who have seen more of it than / hay,
/. / know of several cases of Dropsy, all of thel
e. aged people, cured by it. For the various disease
ed OF the Liver, Sick Headache, Dyspepsia, Asthms
Oh Fever and Ague, Pain in the Side, Diseases of tn
or Spine, and particularly in diseases of the Kidney
DC. the discovery has done more good than an
medicine ever known.
10 change of diet ever necessary-eat the be
