Cancer, Scrofula, &c.
AmpLE experience has proved that nn combina
tion of medicine has ever been so effectual in
removing the nbov diseases, as J YNE'S ALTER
NATIVE, or Life Preservative. It has effected cures
that have been truly astonishing, not only of Cancer
und other diseases of that class, hut has removed the
moat stubborn disenses of the Skin, Swelling, Liver
Complaint, Dyspepsia, &c., &c.
Phis medicine enters into the circulation and eradi
cates diseases wherever located. It purifies the blood
and other fluids of the body, -,moves obstruction in
the pores of the skin, and reduces enlargements of the
glands or bones. It increases the appetite, removes
headache and drowsiness, invigorates the whole sys
tem, and imparts animation to the diseased and dehil
itated constitution. There is nothing sirperior to it in
the whole materia medico. It is perfectly safe and
extremely pleasant, and has nothing of the disgusting
nausea accompanying the idea of swallowing medi-
cote.
