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


EVERY KIND OF HUMOR;
From the acorst scrotula dorm to a COM
mon pinapLe.
He has tried it in over 100 cases, and pever
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

Reader, l peddled over o thousand bottles of
this in the vicini y of Boston. 1 know the effect
OF 1t III every case. So sure as water will extin-
guIsh hire, so sure will this cure humor. I never
sold a bottle of it but that sold another after a
trial 1t always speaks for There are two things
about this herb that appears to me surprising; first
that 1t grows in our pastures, in some places quite
plentiful, and yet its value has never been

it should cure all kinds of humor.
In order to give some idea of the sudden rise
and great popularity Of the discovery, I will state
that in April, 1858, | peddled it, and sold about
six bottles per day-in April. 1854, I sold over one
thousand bottles per day of it.
Some of the wholesale Druggists who have been
in business twenty and thirty years, say that moth
ing IN the annals Of patent medicines was ever
like it. There is a universal praise of it from al
quarters.
In myNown practice I always kept it strictly fol
| humorS-but since its introduction as a genera
family medicine, great and wonderful virtues havt
, been found in it that l never suspected.
Sew eral cases o. e~pileptic fts-a disease which
+ was always considered incurable, have been curei
by a few bottles. 0, what a mercy if it will prov,
etectual in all cases of that awful malady-ther,
. are but few who have seen more of it than | have
L know of several cases of Dropsy, all of then
aged people, cured by it. For the various disease
OF the Liver, Sick Headache, Dyspepsia, Asthma
Fever and Ague, Pain in the. Side, Diseases of tn
n spine and particularly in diseases of the Kidneys
, &c. the discovery has done more good than an,
= medicine ever known.
