n pleasant remedy TOF OOTl (E0tttTS ana Children.
The greatest difficulty that | experience in
| the way of introducing this most valuable
remedy TO the public is the fact that Smart
/ Weed Is such common and unpretending-
/ looking little herb that people are apt 10
F.! think that it cannot possess any great or val
1 liable medical properties. Had prepared nv
I Extract Of Smart-Weed. put it up and labeled
4 il with some great name, and told the people
! that the herbs of which it was composed were
/ collected in Africa by the Arabs, carried across
/ the Saharah Desert on the backs of camels
/ and brought across the Atlantic Ocean for nv
! special use, and that its ingredients were
/ therefore very expensive, l have no doubt that
/ some would have been thereby inspired with
I greater confidence in it. But prefer to deal
/ honestly with the people and tell them that
/ the chief ingredient of my Compound Extract
! is the modest little plant seen growing by the
/ roadside in all parts OF North America, and
! known as Smart Weed. | believe that God
/ has caused to grow, in each climate and region
/ those medicinal plants best calculated for the
/ cure of the diseases that prevail in the section
! of country where those plants are found-that
/ " the leaves were for the healing of the ma
TONS" and that the fewer far fetched remedies
! we employ the better, if we would thoroughly
j investigate and understand those we have at
! home. So far as Smart-Weed has been en-
/ plOyed by the medical profession il has won
! golden opinions, notwithstanding the fact that
/ heretofore they have had only a very imperfect
1 pre- pdI0JlOu Ol IL 10 use, owing TO neaE DelDg
/ always employed in extracting its prop
critics A celebrated medical author says:
"A friend of ours had an only child danger
| Ously i'll with Summer Complaint. He had
| employed great variety of the usual means
for relief, but all appeared unavailing. The
/ child was finally given Smart Weed and it
! was entirely successful. 1t arrested the
vomiting and purging in a short time and
without the aid of other medicine entirely re-
stored the little patient" As 4 remedy for
| Dysentery Tor Bloody FluX) have never seen
my Extract of Smart-Weed euualed vet (
have used all the most modern and improved
medicines usually employed in that disease.
The Smart Weed is rendered still more etfica-
ciOus in all Bowel Complaints, Cramps and
Pains in the Stomach by reason of the Jamai-
ca Ginger which, with other valuable ingre-
dients, is compounded with the Smart-Weed
in making my eXtract-hence the name Com
| pound Extract of Smart-Weed. The Ginger
and other ingredients not only add greatly to
| the value of the Smart-Weed as a remedy for
internal administration and render it more
! pleasant to take by imparting an agreeable
| flavor to it, but also enhance its value as an
| external application. In all cases of Diarrhea,
| whether acute or chronic, in young or old, as
well as in Cholera and Cholera Infantum, the
| symptoms of which are severe vomiting and
| purglng, feeble pulse, with cold or clammy
skin, my Extract of Smart-Weed will give
| almost Immediate relief and speedily
! effect a cure. All authors writing upon
Smart-Weed speak particularly about
a dose of it producing warmth
and peculiar tingling sensation through
out the system. This is especially
the case when my Extract is given,
| and indicates a perfect arousing of the
| whole system, as if from inaction and
| sleep, and resembles a shock Of electricity,
| only that It is more lasting in effect. The
whole system and its various functions are
aroused to perform their normal functions by
| It's electrical effect upon the nervous system.
/ Hence, too, its great and mastery control
over Rheumatic and Neuralgia Affections, for
which it is particularly advised by medical
authors and i'll which it has performed re-
markable cures. 1t should be used in these
cases both externally and internally. Being 4
| great DiaphOretic or Sweating Medicine, aids
| greatly in relieving pain, but, independently
| OF that, it possesses great anOdyne or sOOth-
| ing properties, that render it far ahead of any
Pain Killer" $50 called, "Instant Relief"
Golden Relief" or any other pain remedy
that has ever been offered to the public. Be
sides, it is perfectly harmless, which is not
the case with many of the preparations pat
ented and put up for sale by Quacks, "Indi-
an Doctors" and those knowing nothing of
the delicate and intricate structure Of the HUI
man system, nor the action Of medicines upon
it. My Extract of Smart-Weed is not a secret
Patent Medicine, no patent having been asked
for or obtained upon it, and its ingredients are
no secret-all that | claim is that, as an edu-
Gated and skilled analytical and practical
Chemist, I have devised q superior process for
bringing out and obtaining the most valuable
properties of the plants from which my Com
pound Extract is made. This / have done
only after great expense in erecting machinery
| for grinding, pressing and percOlating. |
wish particularly to call public attention to
my Extract of Smart-Weed as a remedy for
all Colds, Febrile and Infiammatory Attacks.
| Nor can too highly eXtOl it as a remedvsfor
| Inf ANN nfi nf lodi
| Gravel, and to break up the cold stage of
Fever and Ague or Chills and Fever.
AS an external application it is a perfect
Panacea, if there ever was one. No family
can afford to be one day without it in the
! house. Besides, it is equally as good for the
| horse as for man. 1t subdues Inflammation
of all kinds. Used as a gargle and applied
freely externally to the throat it is a sovereign
remedy in Diphtheria and Quinsy or Infiam-
nation of the Tonsil Glands. To all Wounds,
Bruises, Sprains, Burns, Bee Stings, Insect
and Snake Bites, Frost Bites, Chilblains,
Caked Breast Swollen Glands, Rheumatism,
and, in short, to any and all ailments, whether
affecting man or beast requiring direct eXter-
nal application, either to allay inflammation
or soothe pain, or both, Extract of Smart
| Weed cannot be eXcelled. | do not eXtol this
medicine as cure-all, nor is it necessary to
mention all the diseases wherein it will be
| found to effect cures, as / have said enough
to indicate its properties, and the intelligent
will at once see wherein its use may properly
be extended. Recollect it is sold under a
positive guarantee. If, after using twothirds
of the contents of the bottle, you are not sat
istied with it, return the bottle to me and
your money will be promptly refunded. AL
low me to say, in conclusion, that my Com
pound Extract Of Smart-Weed is safe
remedy in all cases, which cannot be said of
many medicines put up for sale to the people.
So harmless is it that it may be given in small
doses Of 5 to 10 drops in milk to infants for
Collie, and will be far more effective and much
safer than any Soothing Syrup" or Cor
dial" ever put up, and will not injure the
! child as they do. My Extract OF Smart
Weed is now sold by most druggists, both in
this and many foreign countries.
