CUNDURANGO!

THE WONDERFUL REMEDY FOR
CANCER, SYPHILIS, SCROFULA, ULCERS,
SALT RHEUM AND ALL OTHER CHRON-
&c BLOOD DISEASES.
DR.. P. T. KEENE having just returned from
Ecuador and brought with him quantity of the
genuine Cundurango Bark, secured through the
official recommendation and assistance of His
Excellency the President of Ecuador, and the
Government of that Republic, we prepared
to fill orders for it to limited extent, and at
price about e-quarter of that which the cost of
the first very small supply compelled us to
charge.
A spurious article is now advertised and sold
as Quadrangle. We have, at a considerable
expense, and with the cooperation of the autho-
rites of Lola, the province where the plant
grows, SO directed the channel of our supply as
to ensrre that nothing but the genuine article
shall be sold by US; and we particularly call the
attention of the public, for their protection, to
this fact. BLISS, KEENE & CO.,
