THE.GREATEST
MEDICAL DISCOVERY
OF THE AGE.
DR. KENNEDY, of Roxbury, has discovered
in one of our common pasture weeds a
remedy that cures
. Evt rv Kind of Humor
from the worst Scrofula down to a common Pimple.
HE has tried it in over 1100 cases, and never failed ex
cept in two cases, (both thunder humor.) He has
• now in ins possession over two hundred ceilificales of
J its virtue,all within twenty miles of Boston.
1 Two bottles are warranted to cure a nursing Sore
Mouth.
j One to three not ties will cure tlie worst kind of Pimples
• on the I-'ace
Two to three bottles will clean the system of Biles.
Two bottles are warranted to cure the worst ('.inker
in the Mouth and Stomach.
Three lo five bottles are warranted to cure the worst
! case of Erysipelas.
One to two bottles are warranted to cure all iiuuior in
the eyes.
j Two bottles are warranted lo cure Running of the
Ears and Blotches among the Hair.
Four to six bottles are warranted to cure corrupt and
i running Ulcers.
j One bottle will rure Scaly Eruption of the Skin.
Two to three billies are warranted to cure the worsj
case of Ringworm.
Two to three bottles are warranted to cure the most
desperate case of Rheumatism.
Three to four bottles are warranted to cure the Salt
Rheum.
Five to eight bottles will cure the worst case of
ula
A. benefit is always experienced from the first br e,
and a perfect cure is warranted wlo-u the above <|> ili
ty is taken.
Reader, I peddled over a thousand bottle* of this in the
vicinity of Boston. I know the effect of i> in every rase
Bo sure as water will extinguish fire, sosure will this
cure humor. I never sold a bottle of It but that sold an
other; after a trial it always speaks for Itself. There
are two things about this herb that appears to me sur
prising; first thai it grows in our pastures, in some pla
ees quite plentiful, and yet its value has never been
known until I discovered it lit Ifilfi—second,llial it should
cure all kinds of humor.
In order U> give some idea of (tie sudden rise and ereal
popularity of ihe discovery, I will stale that in April,
1853,1 peddled it and sold a thiol six bottles per day—in
April, 1854. I sold over one thousand Sollies per day of it.
gome of the wholesale Druggists who ha ve been in
business twenty and thirty years, say that nothing in the
annals of patent medicines was ever like it. There is a
universal praise of it front all quarters.
In my own practice I always kept it strictly for humors
—but since Us introduction asa general family medicine,
great and wonderful virtues have been found in it that I
never suspected.
Several cases of epileptic lits—a disease which was
always considered incurable, have been cured by a few
bottles. O, w hat a mercy if it will prove effectual in all
rases of that awful malady—there are few who have
seen more of it than I have.
I know of several cases of Dropsy, all of them aged
people, cured by it. For the various diseasesof the Liv
er, Sick Headache. Dyspepsia, Asthma, Fever and Ague,
Pain in the Side, Diseases of the Spine, and particularly
in diseases of the Kidneys, See , tlie discovery has done
more good than any medicine ever known.
No change of diet ever necessary—eat the best you
get and plenty of it
DIRECTIONS FOR Use..— Adults one table spoonful per
day—Children over 10 years, dessert spoonful—Children
from sto 8 years, tea-spoonful. As no directions can be
applicable to all constitutions,take sufficient to operate
on the bowels twice a day.

BULL'S SARSAPAIIILL.I,
POT OP IN
FULL QUART BOTTLES,
And containing the strength of six times as
much pure Honduras Sarsaparilla as any
other similar preparation in America
A FEW bottles of this Sarsaparilla, put up
several years ago, rendering it the more
valuable, (as all well-informed druggists know
that age improves it,) have been deposited at
the drug store of CHARLES RITZ, in Lewistown,
where they are ottered for sale at three-fourths
the regular price, namely 75 cents per bottle.
It has been a well established fact for years
past that Sarsaparilla, when pure and properly
prepared, was the only true panacea for all di
seases originating from an impure stale of the
blood, the use of mercury , intoxicating drinks,
evil habits in youth, barrenness, &c. We bold
ly assert that JOf/.V BUI.LS f LLII) EX
TIL.ICT OF S.IRSAPJIRILUI is the only pre
paration before the public that is prepared on
strictly scientific principles and of uniform
s'rength. The sarsaparilla is purchased with
out regard to price, and every pound, before
being used, is subject to the strictest chemical
tests, and its genuineness ascertained before
bein.r used. Bull's Sarsaparilla also contains
the virtues of several other valuable medical
roots, togethe'r forming the best compound, and
producing the greatest curative agent in the
known world! This medicine, when used ac
cording to directions, has cured
Scrofula or King's Evil, Cancers, Tumors, Erup
tions of the Skin, Erysipelas, Chronic Sore
Eyes, Ringworm or Tetters, Scald He.ad,
Rheumatism, Old Sores and Ulcers,
Pains in the bones or Joints, Swelling of the
Glands, Syphilis, Dyspepsia, Salt Rheum, Di
seases of the Kidneys, Loss of Appetite, Pain
in the Side and Shoulders, General Debility,
Dropsy, Lumbago, Jaundice, Costiveness, Sore
Throat, Bronchitis, Coughs, Colds, Weakness
of the Chest, Pulmonary Affections, and all
other diseases tending to produce
CONSUMPTION,
Liver Complaint, Female Irregularities and
Complaints, Sick ar.d Nervous Headache, Low
Spirits, Night Sweats, Exposure or Imprudence
in Life, Chronic Constitutional Diseases, and is
a spring and summer drink and general lonic
for the svstem, and a gentle and pleasant pur
gative, far superior to Blue Lick or Congress
Water, salts, or seidlitz powders.
