the level OF the mere nosframS Of the day, being
patent alike to all, and exactly what they profess
to be. They arc not advertised to cure everything
but they are recommended to assist nature In the
alienation and ultimate healing of many of the
most common inhrmitleH of the body, and this they
will accomplish. had 'been unwell for two
