Speaking of those diseases, and diseases arising
from the excess of murcury, he states that no rem
edy is equal to the EXTRACT OF SARSAPA-
RILLA; its power is extraordinary, more so than
any other drug am acquainted with. 1t is, in the
strictest sense, tonic with this invaluable attrb
ute, that 1t is applicable to state of the system
sunken, and yet SO irritable as renders other SUBJ
stances of the tonic class unavailable or injurious.

Esteemed Friend
congratulate you on having the handsomest
and at the same time the MOST EFFECTIVE PILL
that have ever known for the purposes intended.
VIM II. WARNER Il Co,
H. #. HELMBOLD
Will remark in conclusion that HIS REMEDIES
are the result Of long and careful study. THE
FLUID EXTRACTS have been before the public
twenty years the sale of them in that time proves
their value. All have been benefited by them who
followed my instructions, and to-day they stand
UNEQUALED in the extent of their sale and UN.
SURPASSED by any Medicament in the Dispersal
tory Of the United States, not excepting single
HERB ROOT, PLANT or scientific preparation.
Pharmaceutical claim all mine to be, and have
never patented single one.
ALL STAND ON THEIR MERITS.
THE PILL. l have thought of offering to the at.
ficted for ten years. They are now perfect, and
shall stake my time, money and fame on their eff
fectveness. The inviting style in which THE PILL
is made, the bottle, label, wrapper-all show with
what care they have been prepared. After examl-
nation, no English or French preparation will show
greater care and am really proud of them.
Instead of the nauseous looking, carelessly pre-
pared PILLS vended generally and put up in
wooden boxes, and made generally or offered by
those having no experience as physicians, drug
gists, or manufacturers of medicines.
Test the medicines offered by
Your obedient servant,
