The UNDIspuTED SUPERIORITY Of the
medicinal virtues Of Robsck's Blood

over all other remedies prepared to relieve
suffering humsniiy. is shown in many
ways. but especially is It evincei 10 thi.
important fact: That responsible drug
gists and merchants all over the country
take active interest in introducing them
to their best customers and frieuls. While.
at the same time. it is qni'e as much to
their pecnniary interest to recommend
other medicines. The reason for this ia
obvious. They are in positions to see
the pre-eminent efficacy Of the pills in
case of Liver Complaint and al obstruc

cases where q csthartic medicine can b.
employed. While the Biticrs. BY their
gentle tonic. stimulant and lsxstive pro-
perties, and a. ssfe and certain remedy
in Dyspepsis, have won the admiration
of every one who has given them trial
and the Blood Purifier ID acknowledge grd

must naturally give their voice in favor
