a D'sord1r, Distempey, Matady, Lreguiarity Of
the System." No matter what the disease may
be termed, it is caused by some disturbance Of
the Kidney Lirer, BLOND, or Nerres. Any
medicine that does not act directly on these, and
especially ON the Biood, k,dncy or Lirer, can
accomplish no permanent cure. thorough
knowledge Of the functions Of these organs is
necessary to produce a remedy for their Ills.
Browns Sarsaparilla is made from formula
written by the late WIN. II. Brown, NJ. D., II
graduate Of Bowdoin College and Harvard Med
