THE GREATEST
MEDICAL DISCOVERY
OF THE AGE.
DR.. KENNEDY, of Roxbury, has discovered in on,
of our common pasture weeds a remedy that cure
EVERY KIND OF HUMOR;
From the soorst scrotula doa0n to a com
mon ptnapLe.

From the scorst scrofuld doDn to a COM
mon ptmple.
He has tried it in over 100 cases, and pevor
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 wa rantcd 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
Diles.
Two bottles are warranted to cure the worst
cankcr in the mouth and stomach.
Three to five bottles are warranted to cure the
woast case of Erysipelas.
Ono 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 ofringworm.
Two to three bottles are warranted to cure the
most desperate case of rheumatism.
! Three to four bottles are warranted to euro the
salt rheum.
Five to eight bottles will cure the worst cases of
scrofula.
A benefit is always experienced from the first
bottle, and q perfect cure is warranted when the
above quantity is taken.
Reader, I peddled over q thousand bottles of
this in tho vicini Of Boston. l know the effect
of it ill every case. So sure as water will extin-
guish fire, so sure will this cure humor. [ never
sold a bottle of it but that sold another; after a
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 discovered it in 1S46-second, that
it should cure all kinds of humor.
In order to give some idaa of the 49, -.
that in April, 1858, 1 peddled it, and sold about
six bottles per day-in April, 1854, L sold over one
thousand bottles per day of it.
Some of th wholesale Druggists who have beer
in business twenty and thirty years, say that moth
ing in the annals Of patent medicines was evel
4 like it. There is a universal praise OF 1t from al
n quarters.
h, In my own practice I always kept it strictly TO
humors-but since its introduction as a genera
NJ family medicine, great and wonderful virtues hav
been found in it that | never suspected.
Sew eral cases o. e~pileptic fts-a disease whicl
Ip was always considered incurable, have been cure
.i by a few bottles. 0, what a mercy if it Will prov
H. efectuai in all cases of that awful malady-ther
are but few who have seen more of 1T than l havt
/ know of several cases CT Dropsy, all of the
IL aged people, cured by it. For the various disease
In OF the Liver, Sick Headache, Dyspepsia, Asthm;
y Fever and Ague, Pain in the Side, Diseases Of tt
Spine, and particularly in diseases Of the Kidney
&c. the discovery has done more good than an
medicine ever known.
