that it is easier 70 ind fault, censure and
vilify the actions and motives Of others, than
10 seek out what is right, and what has been
done right and approve it. And if we
were allowed to judge we should say it was
more agreeable.

Scrofula depresscs the vital energies. and thus
leaves Its victims far more subject to disease
and its fatal results than arc healthy constitu.
tons. Hence it tends to shorten, and docs
greatly shorten, the average duration of human
life. The vast importance Of these considcra-
tions has led US to spend years in perieciing q
remedy which Is adequate to It's cure. This
we now offer to the public under tho namc of

Its aid you may protect yourself from the suffer

vigorous health will follow. BY its peculiar
virtues this remedy stimulates tho vital func.

We know the public have been deceived by
many compounds Of !SarmpariLia, that promised
much and did nothing; but they will neither be
deceived nor disappointed in this Its virtues

remains no question Of Its surprising excellence
