THIS EXCELLENT MEDICINE, WHICH
mas attained a high reputation and been ex-
tensivey used In Boston and other cities OF the
East, has been received and Is now offered for
sale by 10: GILMAN, special agent, $50 Penn
sylvania avenue as also by the general agent, cor
ner Of l. and Sd streets, Navy Yard.
The proofs Of its efficacy are so numerous, so
well authenticated, and OF such peculiar charac-
ter that sufferers cannot reasonably hesitate TO re-
ceive the profered aid.
The Peruvian Syrup does not profess to be a
cxrsalI, but Its range Is extensive, because many
diseases, appa,sN'ls unlike, are intimately re-
lated, and proceeding from one cause, may be
cured by one remedy.
The class Of diseases for which the Syrup pro-
vides cure, is precisely that which Las SO often
hailed the highest order OF medical skill. TIE
facts are tangible, the witnesses accessible, and
the safety and efficacy OF the Syrup incontrovert-
ible.
1 have analysed the medical preparation called
the Peruvian Syrup, with reference to the number
and kind of active substances contained In It. and
the durability Of the compound as pharmaceuti
cal article. The metallic compounds Of arsenic,
anthony. mercury and zinc are not present, nor
is It possible to detect in II the slightest indica
ton OF any metallic and mineral poison Its or
ganic constituents do not include opium, or any
Of the drugs yielding poisonous principles. The
constituents, when separated, are not even acrid
to the taste. 1t is preparation scientifically and
skilfully compounded, possessing all the durabil.
ity Of sprituous tincture, without its objection
able qualities and the activity Of its aiding con-
stitpent Is preserved through the judicious adap-
tation Of its solvent. The point here attained has
been frequently and unsuccessfully sought after
by pharmaceutists. Respectfully,

proved by the fact, that It has been extensively
