To THE pUBLTC

FHyHE invariable success which has attended
Il the use of this remedy in my hands, has ln-
duced me TO place it within the reach of all. BY
its use the disease which has struck terror to every
heart, is stript of its danger-the mystery which
has heretofore surrounded it has been dissipated
and it comes like many other affections within the
truth of the universal proveIb that for every dis
ease there is cure.''
confidently say that the cure for Dyptheria
has been found and j now offer it to the public
with guarantee for its success
This remedy is in form Of syrup or Solution and
in pils--small children viii readily take the sy-
rup and larger ones will find but little taste in the
.oIuton-the pills are taken with both as they are
partly composed ofthe remedy-the whole forming
complete specific and certain cure for this poi
sonous malady. Itnot only cures after it has ap-
peared. but prevents its extension, destroys its
violently contagious character and renders it HARM
less even after it has entered family.
Many parents and other persons can joyfully
testify to its merits and by its horror of the
disease has given place to an abiding confidence
in its cure.
Like all other new remedies it will have to fight
its way against prejudice and jeaiousy-but to the
Discerning public say give it fair trial aud it
will need no other certificate than ITS success.
Directions &c. will be found on the wrapper of
each vial the syrup and pills are taken together.
