Reader, / peddled over a thousand bottles of
this in the vicinity of Boston. / know the effect
of it III every case. So sure as water will extin-
guish FIRE, so sure will this cure humor. I never
sold a bottle of it but that sold another; after a
trial it always speaks ~foritself. There are two things
about this herb that appears to me surprising first
that 1t grows in our pastures, in some places quite
plentiful, and yet its value has never been
known until j discovered it in 1S46-second, that
it should cure all kinds of humor.
In order to give some idea of the sudden rise
and great popularity of the discovery. / viii state
that in april, 1858, / peddled it, and sold about
six bottles per day-in April, 1854, / sold over one
thousand bottles per day of it.
Some of the 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 all
quarters.
In my own practice / always kept it strictly for
humors-but since its introduction MS a general
family medicine, great and wonderful virtues have
been found in it that | never suspected.
several cases o e~pileptic fts-a disease which
was always considered incurable, have been cured
by a few bottles. 0, what a mercy if it viii prove
efectual in all cases of that awful malady-therC
are but few who have seen more Of it than i have

aged people, cured by it. For the various diseases
Of the Liver, Sick Headache, Dyspepsia, Asthma
Fever and Ague, Pain in the Side, Diseases Of tn,
