Il gard, sallow cadaverous faces and wasted
skeleton forms we meet. This is not confined to
the old, but we see the young, ablebodied, and
those in the prime of life, complain after being
here some time of illness; some grow unnaturally
fat suddenly; others waste and grow thin; they
cannot ocalize describe their disease, yet they
feel universally unwell, mentally and physically;
some have pains and weakness in the breast.
limbs or body; they feel o want of muscular and
mental energy. want of animation, and have
fearful fOrebOdings for the future, poor appetite,
nervous irritablity and sleeplessness; their skin
is dry and occasionally flushed and heated, thin,
palid and yellow.
Now sudden deaths, lunacy and universal debi-
lity is too, too prevalent here; and who wonders
when combined with climate like this, dry air
impregnated with electricity and galvanism?-
We have many who have passed through sick
ness, whose life is Incorporate and debauched, or
have seen others who have been nearly doctored
to death by quack medicines, or by the advice Of
"The Faculty" who haveimpregnated them with
mercury, calOmel &c.
For all such cases is DR.. jacob Webber's Invi-
gorating Cordial Sanguifer most especially adap-
ted inasmuch as the above cases and symptoms
did DR.. Webber minutely study in adapting his
Cordial to their cure. It enlivens the torpid
liver, elects all bilious matter from the system,
causes sudation. or free perspiration $50 neces-
sary to health 1t purlnee anu enrlches the blood,
gives strength to the limbs and body, and is posi-

or wakefulness.
There never was a remedy gave such delight
to the sufferer as this The Agent can, from his
own knowledge of cures effected by it, conscien-
tiously recommend it in any of the following dis
eases: Nervousness. Weakness, Langour, Loss OF
Appetite. Sleep or Strength, Trembling, Low
Spirits. Decay of the Natural Functions, Pains in
the Head. Limbs or Body, Neuralgia or Rheuma-
