a Great Spring and Summer
INVIGORATOR AND RESTORER

NOV is THE TIME TO CLEANSE OUT
IN those TERILOUS SPOTS, Pimples,
corrupt sores, which POLLUTE the LIFE
OF the BLOOD, and render your body a
aors of diseased blood, and will assume
q much more formidable shape if allowed
| to go on unchecked. The QUEENS DE-
LIGHT, the only real blood purifier that
has ever been invented, as thousands will
to-day attest, is offered to the afflicted as
Q positive remedy for all diseases flowing
from yitiated condition of the system.
THE LIFE OF THE FLESH is PURE
BLOOD. Upon this theory alone the in
ventor of the Queens Delight establishes
the great hygienic law, WITHOUT PURE
BLOOD NO FLESH Is FREE FROM DIS
EASE. The Pale and Shrunken Forms,
Yellow Faces. Weak Stomachs, Diseased
Livers, Crippled Rheum atics. Nervous
Hypochondriacs, Dyspeptic Victims of
Headache, so common in this country, is
owing entirely to the humors of the blood.
Very many other diseases may be traced to
bad blood, Scrofula or Kings Evil, Erysi-
pelas, Exauthema or Elevure, rash or
Goitre or Swelled Neck, Syphilis and Sy-
philitic Sores, Strumous Ulcers, &c.
These cannot be cured without purifying
the blood. Now as to the remedy. There
is no other blood purifier that will accom-.
plish such positive and extraordinary cures
take barrel of extract Sarsaparilla, and
still you will not be cured; and, as q proof
Of it, look around and you will observe the
country, throughout its length and
breadth, is flooded with compound Sarsa-
parl!las, extracts and syrups, claiming to
be blood purifiers, and yet we see to-day
more evidence of impurity of the blood
than ever. Why is thia? Simply because
these extracts and Sarsaparillas are worth
less medicines.
The Queens Delight is a new compound,
and is now the great blood medicine; sane
toned by the profession, patronized by the
highest dignitaries of the land, endorsed
by everybody.
In the brief period of twelve months,
over 5000 cases have been treated so sue
cessfully as to entitle it to be the wonder
OF the age.
For debility, prostration, nervousness,
mental depression, impaired digestion,
loss OF appetite, restlesness, want of vital
force. Low spirits; it is more invigorat-
ing and strengthening than all the COM
pounds of bark or bitters. AS liver
invlgorator, it is of inestimable value. AS
stimulant, it is safer and surer than all
the rum and wliskey tonics of the day,
and If you value your life and health a
pins fee, avoid these quickening stimu-
lants to the grave and use the Queens
Delight. Ask for Heinitsh's Queens De-
light. This is not the Extract of Stellin-
gia or Queens Delight, nor is it Com
pound Syrup of Queens Delight, or Sarsa-
parllla and Queens Delight, but simply
Heinitsh's Queens Delight is the trade
mark. Ask for this if you want to be
cured, and see that the name of E. H.
Heinitsh is on the wrapper. Prepared only
