COME, AND LET Us REASON TOGETHER
To the afflicted in body we offer q few
words of plain, practical reasoning. No.
matter under what form of sickness vo,,
labor there is one great truth YOU shouIS
ever keep in mind, viz: All disease orio;
mates in an impure condition of the blood
Purify that, and the disease must denart
for it has nothing to FEED on; but you can,
not purify the blood by the use of poison
Gus drugs and exhaustive stimulants; the
relief which these afford is temporary and
deceptive, leaving you worse off at every
interval. The best Blood Purifier ever dis.
covered is DR.. WALKERS FAMOUS VIM
EGAR BITTERs, compounded of simple
herbs. No matter how hopeless your case
may seem, try the VINEGAR BITTERs, and
a few draughts will convince YOU of their
virtue. Dr.. Walker, the discoverer of
this priceless remedy, had been given
up to die by the physicians and is now
q sound and healthy man from their
use. 36
