UNIVERSALLY
RECON- MENDED.

We have just received October 1879 commuD.
ication from nearly every druggist in New England
and the testimony is universally in favor OF SAN
ord's Radical Cure Tor Catarrh. We believe there
never was remedy so popular wherever khown'
and certainly feel that never was one more ue'
serving of praise. Founded upon correct sclentihc
principles and calculated by the most accomplished
physicians to meet the severesI forms OF Catafrn,
the cures made bv it have not only been numerous,
but so remarkable as to excite TuOc al tntlon ana
cause the sale to exceed teniold that of any similar
remedy ever before compounded.

appealingly, and the common explanation
of this is that he is pointing to the Patent

they have wheeled this great stone image

Standing here, in loose plaid walking
