A Song of Gratitde.

In olden times Bethesda's pool
Was famed for healing all diseases
Once plunged beneath its waters cool,
Each evil stain and sickness ceases.
In modern days we find cure,
OF worth as rare, as much deserving;
A remedy safe, quick and sure,
Dr. RichmOnd's Samaritan Nervine.
For Epilepsy, Spasms, Fever, Collie, Cramps,
Coughs, Colds, or any kind of Phthysic,
Its merits as leader stamps
1t far above all other physics.
1t goes at once right to the spot
Where turks the danger, never swerving,
In all the world perhaps there's not
A cure like DIR. RichmOnd's Nervine.
As in the blood diseases lie;
Each artery, each vein, each curve in;
There's nothing makes i'll humor fly,
Like the Samaritan Nervine.
For old or young, for rich or poor,
Whatever class of life you serve in,
To health wide open is the door,
From the Samaritan Nervine.
Then do you value strength and health,
And think these blessings worth preserv-
ing,
Better than all Golconda's wealth,
Is DR.. Richmond's Samaritan Nervine.
