The Cheapest,
And the most Harmless
Medicine in the World,
For Nearly Every Form,
OF CHRONIC DISEASE.
In Dyspepsia it is certain cure.
In Consumption it is excellent.
In Liver Complaint nothing can be
better.
In Kidney disease it is specific
In Rhuematism it is an important
remedy. am
In Stomach Affections it is unsurpas
In Female Complaints it is of great
value.
And in nearly all kinds of chronic disease
facts like a charm, effecting speedy cures in
the most stubborn cases.
The afflicted everywhere should not fail to
give it trial, if they desire to purchase health
with but tiiflng expense. 1t is not "patent
medicine" nor is it kept for sale by any drugs
gist. 1t is a discovery of physician during a
five years sojourn in South America. and he
nas impaired the secret of its composition to
hundreds of intelligent physicians. who have
all used it in their practice with the most won>
derful results.
In consideration Of it's many virtues, | have
thought it my duty to engage in the manufac
ture Of it on large scale, and advertise it ex>
tensively throughout the world. The method
for preparing it for use is somewhat complex
requiring . numerous collection of chemical
tools paraphernalia not usually possessed by
druggists, and for this reason few drug stores
could furnish it properly prepared. if they had
the formula. Therefore, have purchased the
necessary articles and with the assistance of q
good practical chemist am engaged in its man
ufacture and sale.
The Life Compound" is purely vegetable, its
principal ingredient being obtained from the
root of plant which grows abuudantly in some
parts of South America. 1t is perfectly harm

ordinary dose, willis its invigoratipg influence

The Chicago Republican mentions, as
somewhat strange, the fact that of the
seven Republican Senators who voted
against the impeachment of Andrew
johnson, but two remain unscathed by
the hand Of death, or by political, or
other misfortune. These two are, Judge
Trumbull, of Illinois, and Senator Ross,
OF Kansas. Henderson, Of Missouri, and
Van Wrinkle, of West Virginia, have
been superseded. Fowler, os Tennes-
