1T is scarce necessary to remark upon the popu-
IL larity of this remedial preparation from the fact
of its very general Use and the consequent suppose
ton that the people well posted regards its
remedial virtues. The propretors would however
take occasion to advert to the fact that the formula
for its preparation is the result of the combined sug
gestions of several eminent Physicians who, finding
that in their practice they were daily in want of
preparation of the kind that could be relied upon,
adopted the formula. by which this preparation is
made and laced it in the hands of the proprietor.
The preparations having had the test of years in its
application to disease its remedial virtues fully
established and known to thousands in every section
of the country. In all diseases of the
Kidneys, Bladder and Urethra,
it has proved itself SO far superior to every other
preparation of the kind that the demand very far
exceeds that of any other patent" preparation

Coon ADVICE TO DYspEprlCs.-In these days of
quackery, panaceas and wonderful cures, it is hard
ly safe to recommend any thing in the catalogue of
patent medicines, and We will not knowingly mis-
lead our readers in these matters but when we
have undenable proof OF the real value of a med-
cine, and the testimony of good and estimable cit
ixens besides, we feel it duty to give publicity to
such remedy. The Oryyenated B,ers sold by Messrs
Seth w. Fowle 4 Co., 1873 Washington street, we
know have received the sanction of scientific men,
and their virtues and efficacy fully ettested by
many citizens of the highest responsibility.
ANY individual; suffering from weakness and de-
rangement of the stomach, nervousness or debility
in any form, will never regret making fair trial OF
this invaluable medicine.
