This Smsaparilla is q combination of
vegetable MISUNDERSTANDING Nan
drake Yellow Dock-with the Iodides
of Potassium and Iron, and is the
most etlicacious medicine yet known
for the diseases it is intended to cure.
It's ingredients are so skilfully
combined 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 effectual n
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 country repose in it proves their
experience of its usefulness.
Certificates attesting its virtues
have accumulated, and are con-
stantly being received, and as many
of these cases are publicly known,
they furnish convincing evidence of
the superiority of this Sarsaparilla
over every other Alternative medicine.
So generally is its superiority 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.
