BATEMAN'S CONCENTRATED PREPARATiON OF RIO NEGRO SARSAPARILLA is one of the most powerful medicinal agents for renovating the Constitution which has ever been introduced to the Public. It sweetens the blood, corrects a bad habit of body, removes pimples and blotches, and is an infallible remedy for Scrofula, Smirvy, Erysipelas, Secondary Symptoms, and all tnose dissrders originating in impurities of the blood, whether hereditary or otherwise, and particularly those arising from the long. continued use of mercury. This Preparation, which is the result of many ye irs' laborious research and experiment, is thus noticed by Dr. HANCOCK, in his Philosophical Papers, read before the " Medico-Botanical Society :" " It is a fact yet unheeded or unknown in Europe, that this species of Sorsa, the Rio Negro, does manifest a peculiar power in healing ulcers in all parts of the body, and removing a multitude of chronical affections. It is scarcely less remarkable for its power in improving the condition and habit of body, and the'efore it is not without reason esteemed a great restorative; but the narrow views of the Faculty have tended to restrict its use to syphilitic affections, and there appears to be no comprehension of its general utility in altering the condition of the blood and amending the habit of body, as it does most manifestly in scrofulous, consumptive, and dropsical habits, and cachexies—foul or perverted states of the humours, &c."
