THE GREATEST
EDlCAL 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 qUorst s~crofula doarn to a COM
mon ptmplc.
He has tried it in over 100 cases, and pever
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
Boston.
Two bottles are warranted to cure q 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. |

~scrOfula. ..ps
A benefit is always experienced from the first
bottle, and a perfect cure is warranted. when the
above quantity is taken.
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-
guish fire, so sure will this cure humor. I never
sold q bottle of it but that sold another; after a
D trial it always speaks for itself. There are two things
about this herb that appears to me surprising first
that it grows in our pastures, in some places quite
plentiful, and yet its value has never been
known until l discoveredit in 1846-second, that
it should cure all kinds of humor.
In order to give ONE idea of the sudden rise
and great popularity of the discovery, I viii state
that in April, 1853, 1 peddled it, and sold about
six bottles per day-in April, 1854, l sold over one
5, thousand bottles per day of it.
Some Of the Wholesale Druggists who have beer
rs in business twenty and thirty years, say that moth
ing in the annals Of patent medicines was eve
Id like it. There is a universal praise of it from al
quarters.
In my own practice I always kept it strictly 70
In humors-but since its introduction as q genera
family medicine, great and wonderful virtues hav
M been found in it that l never suspected.
Sew eral cases o. e~pileptic fts-a disease whic
was always considered incurable, have been cure
q by a few bottles. o, what a mercy if it will prov
~effectual in all cases of that awful malady--the1
- are but few who have seen more of it than l har'
- know of several cases of Dropsy, all of the
aged people, cured by it. For the various disease
,y of the Liver, Sick Headache, Dyspepsia, Asthmi
Fever and Ague, Pain in the Side, Diseases of Il
Spine, and particularly in diseases of the Kidney
IL DC. the discovery has done more good than ar
Il medicine ever known.
No change of diet ever necessary--eat the be
ac, you can get and enough of it.
