PURIFY YOUR BLOOD.
RSAPARTTTA

n all the remedies that have been discovered
~ during the present age for the ssthousand
ills thut flesh is heir to,'' none equal this won
defful preparation. Only three years have
elapsed since the discoverer (who spent a d.
cade in studying, experimentalizing, and pre-
fectng it, first introduced it to the public,
and it is already recognized by the most emf
nent physicians in all parts of the country, to
be the most surprising and effective remedy for
certain diseases of which they have knowledge.
All other compounds or syrups of this root
have hitherto failed to command the sanction
TO the faculty, because on being tested, they
have been found to contain noxious ingredients
which neutralize the good effects of the Sarsap
arllla, oftentimes injure the health Of the pa
tent. 1t is not SO with Hurley's preparation.
This IS the pure and genuine extract of that
foot, and will, on trial, be found to effect a per-
rect cure of the following complaints and dis
eases:
Affections of the Bones. Hahiiual Costiyeness,
Debility. INDIGESTION
Diseases of the Kidneys Liver Complaint,
dyspepsia. Piles,
Erysipelas. Pulmonary Diseases.
Female Irregularities, Scrofula or Kings Evil,
Fistula. Svnhilis
And all Skin Diseases. ~
Besides curing the above, it is also known to
be a great and powerful tonic, purifying the
blood and invigorating the system.
In short, it is, without exception, in the
cases mentioned, and its general effect on the
system, the most efficacious as it is the most de-
stable remedy Of the age. 1t is already ex-
tenslvely used throughout the country, and is
fast obtaining an European reputation. The
instances Of cures ii has affected are daily COM
ing to the proprietor's knowledge, and he has
no hesitation In recommending tito one and all
who desire to procure relief from suffering.-
One bottle being tried, its effects will be too ap.
parent to admit of further doubt.
