lie has tried it in over 100 cases., and peyer

Reader, I peddled over a thousand bottles OF

of it ill every case. So sure as water will extin-
guish fire, so sure will this cure humor. L never
sold q bottle of it but that sold another; alter a
trial it always speaks for itself. There are two thing;
about this herb that appears to me surprising frs
that it grows in our pastures, IN some places quit
plentiful, and yet it's value has never beer
known until I discovered it in 1S46-second, tina
it should cure all kinds of humor.
In order to give some idea Of the sudden ris
and great popularity of the discovery, L will stat
that in April, 1853, 1 peddled it, and sold abou
six bottles per day-in April, 1854, l sold over on
thousand bottles per day of it.
n Some of tn wholesale Druggists who have bee
in business twenty and thirty years, say that MOTH
Y ing in the annals of patent medicines was eve
h like it. There is o universal praise of it from a
quarters.
In my own practice I always kept it strictly f
humors-but since its introduction as a gener
III family medicine, great and wonderful virtues ha'
.p been found in it that 1 never suspected.
III, Sew eral cases o. epileptic fts-a disease whi'
HI was always considered incurable, have been cur
by a few bottles. o, what a mercy if it will pro
TV effectual in all cases of that awful malady-the
N are but few who have seen more of it than l haz
III I know of several cases of Dropsy, all of the
" aged people, cured by it. For the various diseas
of the Liver, Sick Headache, Dyspepsia, Asthn
Fever and Ague, Pain in the Side, Diseases Of
Spine, and particularly in diseases of the kidne.
&c. the discovery has done more good than a
medicine ever known.
