nouncement that he has surely discovered the
elixir OF life. That he is able with the aid OF q
mysterious compound, known only to himself
produced as result OF the years he has spent
in searching for this precious life-g1ving boon,
to cure any and every disease that is known to
the human body. There is no doubt OF the
doctors earnessness I'm making his claim and
the remarkable cures that he is daily efTecting
seems to bear him out very strongly. His
theory which he advances is one Of reason and
based on sound experience in q medical prac-
tce Of many years. It costs nothing to try his
remarkable Elixir of Life, ~ as he calls 1t, for
he sends IL free, to anyone who is q sufferer, in
SUFFICIENT quantities to convince ofIts ability to
cure, so there is absolutely no risk to run.
Some OF the cures cited are very remarkable,
and but for reliable Witnesses would hardly be
credited. The lame have thrown away crutches
and walked about after two or three trials Of
the remedy. The sick, given MP by home doc.
tors, have been restored to their families and
friends In perfect health. Rheumatism, neu-
ralgia, stomach, heart, liver, kidney, blood and
skin diseases and bladder troubles disappear as
by magic. Headaches, backRches, nervous
ness, fevers, consumption, coughs, colds,
asthma, catarrah, bronchitis and all affections
Of the throat, lungs or any vital organs are
easily overcome in q space of time that Is
simply marvellous.
Partial paralysis, IOcOmotor ataxia, drOpsy,
gout, serOfula and piles are quickly and per-
manent y removed. 1t purifles the en- tire sys-
tenn. blood and tissues, restores normal rerve
power, circu alton and q state OF perfect health
is produced atOnce. To The doctor all systems
are alike and equally affected by this great
Elixir OF Life" Send for the remedy to-day.
1t is free to every sufferer. State what you
want to be cured OF and the sure remedy for
it will be sent you free by return mail.
