PREPARATIONS

Are recommended only for those diseases and
accompanying symptoms for which their ingre-
dieuts are everywhere recognized as thorough,
standard specifics. In quoting properties from
Medical Certificates, there must be repititions of
language. Diseases and symptoms follow, but
symptoms should not be mistaken for distinct
diseases. This is mentioned from the fact that
many might say that they proposed to cure eve-
rYthing. Additional evidence, also, which fully
sustains all that is claimed for them, is found in
the medical works of tho day, recommendations
from prominent Chemists, Druggists, &C., who
have been personally acquainted with the pro-
prietor for many years, as well as certificates in
unlimited numbers.

CAUTION.

Health is most important and the afflicted
should not use an advertised medicine, or any
