for both adults and children. The greatest
difficulty that l 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 to think that
it cannot possess any great or valuable med
ical properties. Had prepared my Extract
of Smart-Weed, put it up and labelled 1t
with some great name, and told the people
that the herbs of which it was composed
were collected in Africa by the Arabs, car
ricd across the Saharah Desert on the backs
of camels, and brought across the Atlantic
Ocean for my special use, and that its IN
gradients were therefore very expensive, L
have no doubt that some would have been
thereby inspired with greater confidence In
it. But prefer to deal honestly with the
people and tell them that the chief ingre-
dent of my Compound Extract is the mod
est little plant seen growing by the road
side, in all parts of North America, and
known as Smart-Weed. l believe that God
has caused to grow, in each climate and re-
gion, those medicinal plants best calculated
for the cure of the diseases that prevail in
the section of country where those plants
are found-that s.the leaves were for the
healing of the nations" and that the fewer
far-fetched remedies we employ the better,
if we would thoroughly investigate and un-
derstand those we have at home So far as
Smart-Weed has been employed by the
medical profession it has won golden opin-
ions, notwithstanding the fact that hereto
fore they have had only a very imperfect
preparation Of it to use, owing to heat being
always employed in extracting its proper
ties. A celebrated medical author says:
''A friend of ours had an only child danger
ously i'll with Summer Complaint. He had
employed a great variety of the usual means
for relief but all appeared unavailing. The
child was finally given Smart-Weed and 1t
was entirely successful. 1t arrested the
vomiting and purging in a short time and
without the aid Of other medicine entirely
restored the little patient" As a remedy
for Dysentary (or Bloody Flux) | have
never seen my Extract of Smart-Weed
equaled, yet have used all the most mod
ern and approved medicines usually en-
ployed in that disease. The Smart Weed is
rendered still more efficacious in all Bowel
Complaints, Cramps and Pains in the Ston-
ach, by reason of the Jaimaca Ginger,
which. with other valuable ingredients, is
compounded with the Smart-Weed in max
ing my Extract-hence the name Compound
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 favor to it, but also enhance its
value as an external application. In all
cases of Diarrhen, whether acute or chro-
mic, in young or old, as well as in Cholera
and tfholara Ipfa MIR tho M
which are severe vomiting and purging,
feeble pulse, with cold or clammy skin, my
Extract of Smart-Weed will give almost i'm
mediate relief and speedily effect a cure.
All authors writing upon Smart-Weed speak
particularly about a dose of it producing a
warmth and peculiar tingling sensation
throughout the system. This is especially
the case when my Extract is given, and in
dicates perfect arousing of the whole sys
TEN. as if from inaction and sleep, and re-
sembles 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 its cleo
trical effect upon the nervous system.
Hence, too, its great and mastery control
over Rheumatic and Neuralgia Affections,
for which it is particularly advised by med
ical authors and in which it has performed
remarkable cures. 1t should be used in
these cases both externally and internally.
Being great Diaphoretic, or SiCeating
Medicine, aids greatly in relieving pain, but,
independently of that, it possesses great an
odyne or soothing properties, that render it
far ahead of any pain Killer" 80 called,
"Instant Relief" "Golden Relief" or any
other pain remedy that has ever been offered
to the public. Besides, it is perfectly harm
less which is 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 intri-
cate structure of the human system, nor the
action of medicines upon it. My Extract
of Smart-Weed is not a secret Patent Medi-
cine, no patent having been asked for or
obtained upon it, and its ingredients are no
secret-aI that claim is that, as an edu-
Gated and skilled analytical and practical
Chemist, | have devised a superior process
for bringing out and obtaining the most
valuable properties of the plants from which
my Compound Extract is made. This |
have done only after great expense in erect
ing machinery for grinding, pressing and
percolating. | wish particularly to call
public attention to my Extract of Smart
Weed as remedy for all Colds, Febrile
and Inflammatory Attacks. Nor can | too
highly extol it as 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 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 Infam-
nation of all kinds. Used as a gargle and
applied freely externally to the throat, it is
sovereign remedy in Diphtheria and
Quinsy or Inflammation 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 a direct external |
application, either TO allav inflammation or
sooth pain, or both, Extract of Smart-Weed |
cannot be excelled. / do not extol this
medicine as a 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 in
telhgent will at once see wherein its use |
may properly be extended. Reeollect it is |
sold under positive guarantee. If, after |
using two-thirds of the contents of the bot
tie, you are not satisfied with it, return the |
bottle to me and your money will be promptly |
Allow me to say, in conclusion, |
that my Compound Extract of Smart-Weed |
is safe remedy in al 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 to 10 drops in |
milk to infants for Collie, and will be far |
more effective and much safer than any
Soothing Syrup" or Cordial ever put |
up, and will not injure the child as they do.
My Extract of Smart-We Weed is now sold by !
most druggists, both in this and many for
eign countries.
