A Valuable Medicinal Herb.

modest little plant found growing In bitches,
fairgrounds, among rubbish and about brooks
and water courses, Towering IN August and
| September. In many sections Of this country
it is a deservedly highly esteemed family rem
edy. The Indians also make great use OF this
4 plant for the cure OF various diseases. But
FneithsT the Indians pOr the whites learned
one-tenth Ofthe valuo of this modest little
weed, as they had no methoaof extracting its
virtues without the application OF heat, which
destroys most Of its properties, and usually
made tea from the dried herb, that had been
kept ON hand for long time until it had lost
most Of its medical properties. No educated
chemist had ever tried to make an analysis of
the plant and produce an extract from it upon
scientific principles, by cold process, until |,
having become convinced Of the wonderful
medi al virtues Of this little weed, investiga-
ted its properties and made an extract from
the fresh herb, by cold process-using no
heat at all, but bringing out its Juices oils
and volatile properties complete and unimpar-
ed. III this remedy had heretofore been valu-
able, when prepared in the most crude man
ner, from the long dried herb and by the APP
plication Of heat, that destroys so much of its
virtues reasoned that ii must when proper
ly prepared, by cold process and from the
freshly dried herb, prove a wonderfully efica-
cious and potent remedy for human suffering
And | can assure the people, upor my honor,
as professional man. that in its use, since
thus preparing 1t, my most sangune expecta-
tions have been more than Iealized. | have
found it to contain medicinal properties which
sleeping in water could not bring out at all, as
they are resinOus principles. With my Ex-
tract, containing all these medical properties

most astonishing remedisl affects. By much

ton, have been enableLs compound and

edy-besides they so flavor and modify it as
to remove its pungent, smarty taste, and rem
der it pleasant remedy for both adults and
children. The greatest difficulty that l expe-
rience in the way of introducing this most
valuable remedy to he public is that Smart
Weed ID such common and unpretendiDg
looking little herb that people are apt TO think
that it cannot possess any great or valuable
medical properties. Had | prepared my Ex-
tract of Smart-Weed, put it up and labelled it
with some great name. and told the people
that the herbs Of which it was composed we're
collected in Africa by the Arabs, carried across
the Sahara Desert on the backs of camels,
and brought across the Atlantic ocean for my
special use, and that its ingredients we're
therefore very expensive have no doubt that

honestly with the people and tell them that
the chief ingredient Of my Compound Extract
is the modest little plant seen growing by the
road ride, in all parts Of North America and
known as Smalt-Weed. | believe that God
has caused to grow in each climate and region,

nations" and that the fewer far-fetched RENE
dies we employ the better, if we would thor
oughly investigate and understand those we
have at home. So far as Smart-Weed has
been employed by the medical profession it
has won golden opinions Notwithstanding the
fact that heretofore they have had only a very
imperfect preparation of it to use owing to
heat being always employed in extracting it's
properties. A celebrated medical author SAYS
"A friend of ours had an only child danger
onsly Ill with summer complaint. He had en-
ployed great variety of the usual means for
relief but all appeared uDavailing. The child
was finally given Smart-Weed and it was en-
tirely successful. 1t arrested the vomiting
and purging in short time AMI without the
aid OF other medicine entirely restored the lit
tie patient. As remedy for dysentery Cor
bloody fluX) have never seen my Extract of
Smart Weed equaled, yet have used all the
most modern and approved medicines usually
employed in that disease. II Smart Weed
is rendered still more ellicacioHs in all bowel
complaints, cramps and pains in the stomach
by reason of the Jamaica ginger, which, with
other valuable ingredients, is compounded
with the Smart Weed in making my "xtract--
hence the name Compound Extract ct Smart
Weed. The ginger ard other ingredients not
only add greatly to the value the Smart
Weed as a remedy for internal administration
and render it more pleasant to take by impart-
ing an agreeable flavor to it, b.. also enhance
it's value as an exteI ,llcatiOn In all
cases of ldiarrhGa, WIZ. ate or chronic
In young or old, as vel. n cholera and
cholera infantum, the . g of which are
severe vomiting and feeble pulse,
with cold or clamply skin lxtract of Smart
Weed will give almost Ii. iiate relief and
speedily effect cure. Al authors writing
upon Smart Weed speak particularly about a
dose OF 1t producing warmth and peculiar
tlngllng sensation throughout the system.
This il especially the 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 per.

1t has performed remarkable cures 1t should
be used in these cases both externally and in

ing medicine, aids greatly in relieving pain,
but, independently of that, it possesses great
anodyne or soothing properties, that render it
far ahead of any Pain Killer" $50 called,
instant Relief" Golden Relief" or any
other plain remedy that has ever been offered
to the public. Besides, it is perfectly harm
less, which ID not the case with many of the |
preparations patented and put up for sale by
| Quacks, Indian doctors" and those knowing |
nothing of the delicate and intricate structure |
of the human system, nor the action of medi- |
cine upon it. My Extract Of Smart Weed is |
not secret patent medicine, no patent having |
been asked or obtained upon it, and its ingre- |
dents are no secret-all that claim is that, |

tical chemist, have devised a superior pro-
cess for bringing out and obtaining the most
valuable properties of the plants from which |
my Compound Extract is made. This | have

j wish particu arly to call public attention to
my Extract OF Smart Weed as q remedy for
all colds. febrile and nflammatory attacks.
Nor can too hight extol it as a remedy for
Inflammation Of The kidneys and bladder
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 free
ly externally to the throat, it is a sovereign
remedy in dphtheria and quinsy or inhamr a.
ton of the lonsil glands. To all wounds,
bruises, sprains, burns, bee stihes insect and
snake hites frost hi es Chilblains caked |
breast swollen glands, rheumatism, and. in
short to any and all ailments, whether afflict-
ing man or beast, requiring a direct external
application. either to allay inhlmma ion or
soothe pain, or both, Extract of Smart Weed
cannot he excelled. do not extol this medi-
cine as cure-all, nor is it necessary to mem
