A FTER years of study, analysis and ex-
~ pertinent, DR.. Roback, the eminent Swe-
cine from the mountain herbs of his native
land, which acts directly upon the causes of
disease in the blood, and by restoring the cor
rupted fountain of life to a condition of health
and purity, expels disease from the system
wherever it may be.located, or whatever may
be its character. Indigestion, nervous COM
plants, epileptic and other fits, coughs, con-
sumption in its early stages, sore throat, bron-
chitis, fever and ague, asthma, low spirits, sex
ual incapacity, feminine weakness, pricking of
the skin, symptomatic of paralysis, rheuma-
tism, neuralgia, tumor, cancer diabetes, lassi-
tude and debility, diarrhe, and all other dis
orders of the organs of respiration, the liver,
the kidneys, the stomach, the nerves, or the
muscular fibre, are unerringly cured by this
preparation. 1t is to the MArERIEs MoRBI, or
seeds of disease, what an alkali is to an acid /;
it neutralizes them with ABSOLUTE CERTAINTY,
while at the same time it regulates the secre-
tions, removes distractions from the bowels,
creates appetite, renews bodily vigor, and re-
generates every animal function. Such is the
nature, such are the effects of DR.. Roback's
famous SCANDINAVIAN BLooD PURIFIER, which,
taken in conjunction with his BLOOD Pills, will
not only obliterate the most painful diseases,
but prevent their recurrence, and lengthen life
beyond its ordinary span.
