This Sarsaparillais combination Of
vegetable alternatives - Stillingia, Man
drake, Yellow Dock - with the Iodides
of Potassium and Iron, and is the most
efficacious medicine yet known for
the diseases it is intended to cure.
Its ingredients are so skilfully COM
bined, that the full Alternative effect of
each is assured, and while it is so mild
as to be harmless even to children, it IS
still SO etfectual as to purge out from the
system those impurities and corruptions
which develop into loathsome disease.
The reputation it enjoys is derived
from its cures, and the confidence which
prominent physicians all over the coun-
try repose in. it, prove their experience
of its usefulness.
Certificates attesting its virtues have
accumulated, and are constantly being
received, and as many of these cases are
publicly known, they furnish convincing
evidence of the superiority of this Sar-
saparilla over every other alternative
medicine. So generally is its superb
ority to any other medicine known, that
We need do no more than to assure the
public that the best qualities it has ever
possessed are strictly maintained.
