A Great Spring and Summer
INVIG0RATOR And RESTORER

RJOW Is THE TIME TO CLEANSE OUT
In those rERILOUS SPOTS, Pimples,
corrupt sores, which POLLUTE the LIFE
of the BLOOD, and render your body q
loathesome thing. They are the precur-
eors of diseased blood, and will assume
a much more formidable shape if allowed
to go on unchecked. The QUEENS DE-
has ever been invented, as thousands will
to-day attest, is offered to the afflicted as
q positive remedy for all diseases flowing
from vitiated condition Of the system.
THE LIFE OF THE FLESH is PURE
BLOOD. Upon this theory alone the in
the great Sygisnio law, WTFHoUT 1SispGfSs PURE
BLOOD NO FLESH rs FREE FROM DIS
EASE. The Pale and Shrunken Forms,
Yellow Faces. Weak Stomachs, Diseased
Livers, Crippled Rheumatics, Nervous
Hypochondriacs, Dyspeptic Victims of
Headache, 80 common in this country, is
owing entirely to the hupors Of the blood.
Very many other diseases may be traced to
bad blood, Scrofula or Kings Evil, Erysi-
pelas, Exauthema or Elevure, o rash or
eruption on females; Blotches, letter,
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
as Heinitsh's Queens Delight. You may
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-
parillas, 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 this? Simply because
these extracts and Saraaparillas are worth
less medicines.
The Queens Delight is 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 30 sue
cessfully as to entitle it to be the wonder
OF the age.
For debility, prostration, nervousness,
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 q liver
invigorator, it is Of inestimable value. AS
a stimulant, it is safer and surer than all
the rum and ,whiskey 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-
parilia and Queens Delight, but simply
Heinitsh's Queens Delight is the trade
mark. AJAX for this il you want to be
cured, and see that the name of L. II.
Heinitsh is on the wrapper. Prepared only
by E. H. Heinitsh. Wholesale agents,
