DISEASE VANQUIsHED

by Df R060ckJ Sc0Ddt80Vs0D RskNsds ss.'
4 FTER years Of study, analysis and expert
| n ment, DR.. Roback, the eminent Swedish
Physician, succeeded in producing medicine
from the mountaih 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 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.
epilepsic and other fits, coughs, consumption
in its early stages, throat, bronchitis, fever
and ague, asthma, low spirits, sexual incapa-
city, feminine weakness, pricking Of the skin,
symptomatic of paralysis, rheumatism, peu-,
ralgia, tumor, cancer; diabetes, lassituds and
debility. diarrhea, and all other disorders of
the organs of respiration, the liver, the kid
neys, the stomach, the nerves, or the musrl-s
lar hbre, are unerringly cured BY this prek.-
ration. Il Is to the moseriss nsorbi, or seeds
Of disease, what an alkali 10 to an acid; II nsu-
tralizes them with sJsslste cersainfy, while at
the same time II regulates the secretions, re-
moves distractions from the bowels, creates
appetite, renews bodily vgor, and regenerates
every animal function. Such II the nature,
such are the effects Of DR.. Roback's famous
SCANDINAVIAN BLOOD PURrr1KR, which, taken in
conjunction with his BLOOD Pills, will not only
obliterats the most painful diseases, but pre-
vent their recurrence, and lsngthsn life be-
yond its ordinary span. ,5s.sssl

DIR. Roback's Scandinavian Remediel

The seeds of all disorders are in the blood
and DIR. Roback's Blood Purifier and Pills act
specifically on that fluid. They are composed
of rare Swedish herbs, and form a sovereign
antidete to the injecting and corrupting princi-
pie of disease. Not only do they cure indi-
gestion, bilious complaints, female weakness;
connubial incompetency, nervous disorders,
lung and throat affections, diarrhea, etc., ETC.,
but they cleanse, purify and invigorate every
organ, and put the whole animal machinery in
such vigorous condition that it is enabled to
resist and throw of the influence of bad air
and other causes of sickness.

UTITH large surplus, securely invested
w under the sanction and approval Of the
Comptroller of Public Accounts, Of the State
of Connecticut.
This company has also complied with the
very cautious and stringent laws Of this State,
in relation to foreign Insurance Companies.
1t was incorporated by the Legislature Of
the State of Connecticut, in May, 1850, with q
PERPETUAL CHARTER, and commenced busi-
ness on capital of two hundred thousand
dollars the whole of which has been invested
in securities of the highest character.
Those who contemplate making life insur-
ances, should, first of all, satisfy themselves
of the character and stability of the Company
they may select. The interest of the assured
in the stability and permanent prosperity Of a
Company, in the security and certainty that it
will fulfill its engagements, is Of incompara-
bly, greater importance than the trJfing saving
that may be made by pying inadequate pre-
miums.
The principle of Life InEuranoe Is based on
sound mathematical calculations, and admits
of no variation. Ultimate security, being the
primary object to be obtained, this Company
will do business on the lowest rates of pre-
miums that oan be adopted, and afford requis-
lite security to the insured, and perpetuity to
