Only ten years have elapsed since the discovsrer, (who spent a decade in studying experiments, and perfect. ing it,) first introduced it 10 the public, and it is already recognized by the most eminent physicians in all parts of the country to be tho most surprising and effective remedy for certain diseases of which they have knowl- edge.

 This is the pure and genuine extract of the root and will, on trial, be found to effect a certain and perfect cure of the following com plants and diseases:
 Affection of the Bones, HabituaI COstiveness,s 2 Diseases of the
 Kidneys, Dyspepsia, Ery-

It should be taken in all cases when gentle tonic impression is required after conva- lescence from FEvERs or other facilitating diseases, or in those distressing IRREGuLARI- TIES peculiar to females.
