This Sarsaparillai is combination of

Of Potassium and Iron, and is the most
ethcacious medicine yet known for
the diseases it is intended to cure.
It's 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 r"pose in it, prove their experience
oi It's usefulness.
Certificates Gttesting its virtues have
accumulated, and are constantly being
received, and as many OF these cases are
publicly known, they furnish convincing
