AUTHORIZATIONS!

1T has come to our knowledge that per-
Il sons from the country and city, order
ing that GREAT MEDICINE, the QUEENS
DELIGHT, have their orders filled by an
other medicine, called Epping's Sarsapa-
rilla. This is pernicious habit on the
part OF any druggist or apothecary to
make such substitutions, and it must re-
fleet upon their pharmaceutical knowledge
to say to their customers that they are the
same, when it is known they do not know
the constituents Of the medicine Queens
Delight, as prepared by Heinitsh.
This is to caution the people that "HEI-
NITSHS QUEER 'S DELIGHT" is an en-
tirely different article-a new pharmaceu-
tical product and combination of roots and
gums. and is the only medicine that per-
forms so many extraordinary cures among
the people. Over 1000 bottles have been
sold at our store in less than eleven
months, and the demand increasing from
all parts of the country.
Purchasers should be careful to ask for
"Heinitsh's Queens Delight" This is the
name. Please remember it-"Queen's De-
light" For sale by
