Schencks Pulmonic Syrup, Schencks Seaweed

This accomplished, nature will do the rest.
The physician who prtecribes for cold, cough
or night-swcats, and then advises the patient
to walk or ride out every day, will be sure to
have u ,orpse on his hands before long.
My plan il to give my three medicines, in
accordance with tho printed directions, tx-

Mandrake Fills is necessary. My object liz to
