THE GREATEST
MEDICAL DISCOVERY
OF THE AGE.
DR.. KENNEDY, of Roxbury, has discoveredin one
of our common pasture weeds a remedy that cures
EVERY KIND OF HUMOR:

From the aoorst scrofula down to a COM
mon ptn1pLe.
He has tried it in over HOO cases. and nevar
failed except in two cases, (both thunder humor.)
He has now in his possession over two hundred
certificates of its virtue, all within twenty miles of
Boston.

Reader, / peddled over a thousand bottles of
this in the vicinity of Boston. l know the effect
OF 1t Ill every case. So sure as water will extir-
guish fire, so sure will this cure humor. never
sold a bottle of it but that sold another; after n
trial railways speaks ~foritself. There are TWO THINGS
about this herb that appears to me surprisipg : first
that 1t grows IN our pastures, in some places ouits
plentiful, and yet its value has never heen
known until l discovered it in 1916 second. that
it should cure all kinds az hunor
In order to give some idea Of the sudden rise
and great popularity of the die overy. I Will state
that in April, 1853, | peddled 1t. 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 ard thirty years, say that moth
! ing III the annals Of patent medicines was ever
like 1T. There is a univ ersal praise of il from all
quarters.
In my own practice / always kept it strictly for
humOrs-but since lis Introduction as a general
7 ianlly medicine, great and wonderful virtues have
been found in it that ! never suspected.
Sew eral cases Q epileltie fits disease which
was always considered incurab5e. have been cured
by a few bottles. o what mercy if it will prove
enectuaI IN all eases OF that ~ ii nsIady-there
are but few who have zen NOR, # II than have

Of the Liver, Sick Headache, Dyspepsjs. AstbU,
Fever and Ague, Pain in tho side, Diseases Of Inc
