This Sarsaparilla is combination Of

efficacious medicine yet known for
the diseases it is intended to cure.
Its ingredients are so skilfully COM

each is assured, and while it is so mild
as to be harmless even to children, it is
still SO effectual as to purge out from the
system those impurities and corruptions
which develop into loathsome disease.
The reputation it enjoys is derived
prominent physicians all over the coun-

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
