DISEASE VANQUISHED

By DR. RoJack's Scandinavian Remedies
4 FTER years of study, analysis and expert
( l ment, DR.. Roback, the eminent Swedish
Physician, succeeded in producing . medicine
from the mountain herbs of his native land,
which acts directly upon the causes of disease
in the blood, and by restoring the corrupted
fountain of life to a condition Of health and
purity, eXpels disease from the system wher-
ever it may be located, or whatever may be its
character. Indigestion, nervous complaints,
epileptic and other fits, coughs, consumption
in its early stages, sore throat, bronchitis fever
and ague, asthma, low spirits. sexual incapa-
city, feminine weakness, pricking of the skin,
symptomatic of paralysis, rheumatism, neu-
ralgia, tunor, cancer; diabetes, lassitude and
debility. diarrhea. and all other disorders of
the organs Of respiration, the liver, the kid
neys, the stomach. the nerves, or the muscu-
lar fibre, unerringly cured by this prepa-
ration. 1t is to the mGteries mOr5i, seeds
of disease, what an alkali is 10 an acid: it neu-
tralizes them with absolute certainty, while at
the same time it regulates the secretions, re-
moves distractions from the bowels, creates
appetite, reEews bodily yisgor, and regenerates
every animal function. Such is the nature,
such are the effects of DR.. RohaclSs famous
SCANDINAVIAN BLOOD PURIFIER. which, taken in
conjunction with his BGooD PILLS, will not only
obliterate the most painful diseases, but pre-
vent their recurrence, and lcngthen life be-
yond its ordinary span.

DR.. RoBAcK--Deer Sir: I have read in the
newspapers many accounts of cures effected by
your Scandavian Remedies. but consider my
own case at least as interesting and as marvel
Gus as any of them. So far you are COP
cerned, one testimonial more or less is of little
consequence. Your fame is established, and
my statement cannot add to your celebrity.
But for the benefit of my fellow creatures, l
desire to make known the facts When called
upon you, at the instance of u dear friend, on
the 2ist of March last, had been nine years a
sufferer from cataTrh. The irritation of the
nerves and membrane Of the head was so in
tense that sometimes it almost drove me crazy.
| could not sleep. and was never free from un-
pleasant sensations. At various times FIVE
different physicians had attended me, each one
treated me in his own way, but none of them
did me any good. | despaired of ever seeing
another well day, and when l called at your
consultation rooms, had very little hope of re-
lief. BY your advise, l entered immediately
upon a regular course of your Scandinavian
Blood Purifier and Blood Pills. l was encour-
aged by the cheerful, hopeful way il which
you spoke, and l resolved strictly to follow
your direction. In less than a week, all the
worst symptoms of my complaint began to
take a milder form, and so continued to i'm
prove from week TO week until, at the end of
three months, my head was entirely relieved
and every trace of the catarrh had left me.
Still, however, | continued to take the rene-
dies for nearly six weeks longer, because
found they were building up my strength and
fort;fying my constitution. Six months have
passed since the cure was finished, and have
had no sign of a relapse. 1 should be glad 10
see this letter. or the substance of it, i'll print,
for the guidance of others.
Yours, with heartfelt gratitude,
Mrs. AUGUSTUS COOCH.
