Contagious Blood Poison has been ap-
propriately called the curse of mankind.
It is the one disease that physicians can
not cure; their mercurial aud potash
remedies only bottle up the poison in
the system, to surely break forth in a
more virulent form, resulting in total
wreck of the system.

also from persons in official stations.
Nor is Hoed's Sarsaparilla praised

favor. His excellency William c.
