people would send for far and near, to ascertain

For many years, in conjunction with my principal

professional visits to New York, Boston, Baltimore

For many years past, have made as many as five

well first to take dose of Schenck's Mandrake BILLS

readily digcsted and absorbed into the blood to

Bourbon Whisky is recommended now a-days by
almost every physician. Many patient that visit
my rooms both male and female, supplied with
this poison. The relief is temporary If they
cough, they take little whisky; if they feel weak
and feeble they take little whisky; if they cannot
sleep, they take little whisky and they go on in
