Blood Pills & Blood Purifier
DIR, ROBACK'S
Scandinavian Remedies.

When DR.. RoBAcK, the celebrated Swedish
Physician, introduced his Blood Purifier and
Blood Pills in the United States, he sat forth
in plain language their curatiue properties.
This was years ago. The task of recommend
ing them has since been taken out Of has hands.
Enlightened men whose character for sound
Judgment and philosophy, give their opinions
weight in the community, men who observe,
reflect, and make assurance doubly sure" be-
fore they decide-are everywhere approving
and urging the use of these wonderful prepa-
ratiens. All who confde in the wisdom and
honesty of this class, or who choose to inves-
tigate for themselves are now of one mind on
this important subject.
TIE evidence in the possession of DR.. 10
back, which is at all times accessible to the
public, establish the following
FACTS!
That the BLOOD PURIFIER and BLOOD PILLS
have been proved by analysis to
CONTAIN NO MINERAL,
That they cure the almost universal complaint
DYSPEPSIA
with unerrins certainty, and in a very short
time. That after all other medicines have
proved useless, they relieve
LIVER COMPLAINT,
and restore the health and strength of the
sufferer. That
SICK FEMALES,
who have languished for years in helpless
weakness: and dependency, recuperate with
great rapidity under their invigorating opera
ton. That all sexual disabilities are remov-
ed by their cordial and gentle stimulating
properties. That they recruit
SHATTERED CONSTITUTIONS,
however they may have been tritisd with and
- tho; diract 10 tn Lam hon
life, and render it enjoyable. That operating
directly upon the poison Of the disease in the
blood, they
CAUSE SOON TO HEAL,
and discharge from the system every taint Of
Scrofula, whether hereditary or otherwise.
That they
RECRUIT THE DEBILITATED,
and that there is no disease of the.stomach and
Bowels, the Liver, the Nervous System, the
Skin, Glands or Muscles,
arising from Impurities or Distractions Of
the Blood or Secretions,
in which they do not give prompt relief, and,
(f administered before the very citadel Of life
has been invaded,) effect painless and perfect
cure.
No one can doubt their superiority after one
single trial--they are not only better, bat in
fact cheaper than any other Pills, for it takes a
less number of them to produce better effect.
Price of the Scandinavian Vegetable Blood
Purifier, 81 per bottle, or S. per half dozen.
Of the Scandinavian Vegetable Blood ills, 2s
