guish fire, so sure will this cure humor. | never
sold q 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 discoveredit in l646-seeond, that
it should cure all kinds of humor.
In order to give some idee of the sudden rise
and great popularity of the discovery, I viii state
that in April, 1858, l peddled if, and sold about
six bottles per day-in April, 1854, / sold over one
thousand bottles per day CT it.
Some of tn 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 my own practice I always kept it strictly fol
humors-but since its introduction as a genera
= family medicine, great and wonderful virtues hay,
been found in it that | never suspected.
Several cases o" epileptic fts-a disease which
was always considered incurable, have been cure,
by a few bottles. 0, what a mercy if it will prov,
effectual in all cases of that awful malady-ther
II are but few who have seen more of it than l 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 Tia
Spine, and particularly in diseases of the Kidney.
