the idea of general therapeutic agent susce tible
of being applied to all diseases, the devplopement
or morbid prnci pie of which proceeds from an in
erna cause either in the blood or any of the other
organs.
A careful and uninterrupted analysis of the ami
NAL. vegetable and mineral Kingdoms had induced
the hope that could bring about such result and
thanks to my indeatigable researches, it is now
obtained.
means for this grand idea, which is based upon an
oeaginous principle of Sarsaparilla partly known
to the public Such is the discovery which have
the honor this day OF advertising. The form of
Lozenges has been given to it, because its nature
precluded the possibility Of doing otherwise, and
have divided it into simpI and compound Lozenges
in order that they might be given to children as
well as adults.
My first experiments were made privately, and
remained unknown until wonderful results had
satisfied me that | had succeeded, and that the
charge of quackery could not be brought against
me.
The attention of physicians and of the public
are called to these Lozenges, in order that every
one may witness the admirable result of the same
General effects testified to by upwards of a thou
sand persons. The stomach is cleansed, the blood
is purified and renovated by removing all impuri-
ties from this precious organ and fluid.
SPECIAL EFFECTS
/. Prompt and radical cure of all diseases gener-
ally.
2. Persons who have used these Lozenges have
never had the cholera nor the yellow fever.
3. Venereai, syphilitic, herpetic, scorbutical,
gouty, rheumatic, and nervous and bilious diseases
are completely cured few days after the remedy
is resorted to.
4. All diseases of the lungs, head, eyes, stomach,
bowels, and other internal and external complaints
disappear entirely, provided the LozeDges are re-
sorted to.
