R. LEIDY'S MEDICATED EXTRACT
OF SARSAPARILLA, havintr becomo so
deservedly popular, on account of i(s superior
strength to any other preparation ol oarsapanlln m
existence, it is thought unnecessary to make much
conlmcnt upon ,ils virtues. Suffice it to say, one
hotlle of tho above contains twite aa murh of tho
active principles of Sarsaparilla an other ingredi
ents, as any extract in oxistccno, in tho name quan
tity, and is equal to one gallon of Syrup of Sana
parilla, for making which druggists and others pur
chase tho above preparation. Price ono dollar per
bottle.
It is recomended in all distaccs of tho skin and
Bones; affections of tho Liver, Stomach, Spleen
and Kidneys; Eruptions, breaking out of Dry and
W.atcry Pimples on tho face, neck and body; ulcer
ations of tho nose, mouth and throat; running at tho
Ears and Eyos;BrysipiIas, ScrofuIa,rhcumatio pains,
swelling or hardening of tho Glands, constitutional
diseases produced by tho uso of mercury dr other
minerals. In short, Sorsnnarilla is known to tho
world, aa being tho most powerful agent ever dis
covered for purifying tho blood and Animals Fluids,
cousequently the most valuable; specific for nil dis
eases, resulting from iinpurhlej of tho Blood, and
oilier llmus ol tlio body, , .
Caution. Persons should bo particularly careful
in getting a preparation that may bo relied upon;
thero being many in existence, not properly prepar
ed, unfit for use, and almost incit; possessed of so
medicinal nualitic3 whatever!
Dr. N. B. Lcidy candidly declares his preparation
to bo what it is represented to lie, and is prepared
by himself, a regular Druggist and Apothecary, and
is bcsidc3 a regular Physician, attested by JJrs. ruys'
