  Baches American Compound is an entirely  vege-
table preparation, containing, as  one great curative
element, a Compound Fluid Extract of Beech Drop,
or Canar Root—so well known to the Indian  as an
infallible remedy for Scrofula,  Cancer,  Chronic
Rheumatism, and Consumption.   The  extracts
which we combine to form this C< impound, are ob-
tained by an entirely new  process, ensuring greater
strength and purity than has ever yet been obtain-
ed, and  free from Calomel or Mercurial poisons.
The cures that have been performed by this NEW
VEGETABLE DISCOVERY are  uuqucstionable
proofs of its superiority over any  medicine ever
offered to the public—for  the  perfect and  rapid
cure of  Scrofula, Erysipelas, Salt Rheum,  Scaly
Eruptions of the Skin, and all diseases arising
from an impure state of the Blood ; also for  ulcer-
ous sores, ulceration of the mouth,  throat, stomach
or bowels, chronic  diseases of the throat, lungs,
liver, &c  This medicine is also an infallible cure
for Bronchitis.   Its Tonic effects supersede those
of any Bitten ever used  in curing Dyspepsia, and
it? attendant difficulties.

     A SUPERIOR REMEDY FOB FRESH WOUNDS, SPRAINS, AND BRUISES.

    Procure a mild, coal fire.  Sprinkle it with drops of any kind of
   noimal oil, or grease, or tallow.  Hold the affected part over the
   smoke, say for 30 minutes, as hot as can be borne. A good way is,
   to use a large tin tunnel, inverted, as it gathers the smoke into a
   small compass.  Hold the wound directly over the tunnel.  Whoever
   (vill apply this to wounds, sprains, or bruises, two, three, or more
   limes, say once in 12 hours, will find it invaluable to allay pain, to
   prevent soreness and taking cold; and the recovery will be very
   rapid. This remedy has been practiced in the United Society of
   Shakers for more than 30 years, with most astonishing success.
           Home Testimony  and Proofs.
     When this medicine was being made known to
   the public, many of our  friends advised us not to
   introduce it at home ;  that it would never succeed
   here ; that it must have a foreign reputation.  Our
   reply was, that Bach's American Compound must
   become popular  on its own merits alone ; that if
   it could cure in one place it would in another; and
   that it should be  known first at home.   The result
   has been, that, during the past six months, we have
   received over fifty voluntary certificates from resi-
   dents of  this vicinity  alone, and many  personal
   interviews with those who have been cured, or are
   being cured, by the use of Bach's American Com-
i   pound;  and the sale of over 2000 bottles in  this
\   community alone is a fact that needs no comment,
I   and proves beyond a doubt,  " undeniable superior-
V   ily over any remedy ever  known.'"

Mrs. Elizabeth P. Bell, of Owasco, Cayuga Co.,
  N.  Y., who was  confined  to her bed for
  nearly Eight Years, restored to Health by
  the use of "Bach's  American Compound."
P. V. R. Coventry & Co.:
  Dear Sirs:—I have  been sick  eight years;  the
most  of  the  time  confined to my bed, unable to
move myself without the most excrutiating pain.   I
tried  every thing I could hear of.   We had all the
physicians  around;—they called  my case a pros-
tration of  the  nervous  system, neuralgia  in  the
bowels, and  the catarrh. In short, I was  afflicted
with most every thing.  Language would  fail, if I
should attempt to  describe my sufferings.   I com-
menced, this fall, to take your Compound.  When
I began, I  could not  sit or stand up long enough
to  eat a meal of victuals. Before I had taken three
bottles, I could be up the most of the time.  I hardly
know how to express my gratitude to God that I
have been able to  get something  to  enable me to
be around  and see to  my family once more.  If
this will  be of any use, you shall hear from  me
again.  Yours, with respect,
                         ELIZABETH P.  BJBLL.
  "We, the undersigned, know Mrs. Bell; that she is a
worthy woman, and that her case is as  above stated.  We
commend the above facts as worthy of  confidence.

 Another Triumph over a " CHRONIC DIS-
    EASE " after Physicians had failed to
        give any relief;  USING ONLY
                 ONE BOTTLE.
         Owasco, Cayuga Co.,  X. Y., Jan. 19,1856.
 P. V. R. Coventry & Co. :
   Sirs :—The following statement I received from Mr.
 Ezekiel Baker, residing  near Amber, Onondaga Co., X.
 Y., which I submit to your disposal.  My  acquaintance
 with the family gives me conSdence in their truthfulness.
 His child, being now about  sixteen  years old, has been
 afflicted with a  chronic inflammation, which has  of
 lute taken the form of saltrheum. She has been treated,
 with but little success  bj physicians of the Allopathic
 and Homeopathic professions,  and  given  vp by then.
 About four months ago she obtained a bottle of your
 " Compound," and commenced  following the directioris,
 which soon determined  the  disease  to  the surface, and
 produced what was a permanent cure.  Her health was
 in every way improved, and  soon  she  was  able  to
 attend school at Homer, Cortland Co., X. Y.. and pur-
 sued her studies with a  success before unkn&in: to her.
 This irruption has appeared again, slightly, on her hands,
 but her  friends feel it  will  be soon removed by your
 invaluable remedy.   Such a case being removed  by
 o.ily  one bottle, will speak much in its favor.  I have
 seen it jised in other cases with great success ^therefore,
  believe it to be what you have recommended it to be.
                   Yours trulv,
              D. MILLS, Pastor M. E. Church, Owasco.
    Had Mr. Baker continued  with  one or two bottles
'.  more, there would have been no re-appearance, as the
  humor would have been entirely destroyed.

   BACH'S AMERICAN COMPOUND

 Statement of JOSEPH OSBORN, Druggist.
                  Auburn, N. Y., May, 1855.
 -  Mr. Joseph Osborn, (late Hunt & Osborn,) one
 of the oldest drug  firms in this  county,  says:
 "About ten months  since, a gentleman [a stranger
 to him] called for ' Bach's American Compound,'
 saying,  'It has been recommended to me  very
 highly.   My throat  and the upper portion of my
 stomach are badly  ulcerated and  inflamed, dis-
 abling me from work.  I will take six bottles, and
 if that quantity helps me,  I will get more.'"  Mr.
 Osborn says : "Yesterday the gentleman returned,
 bringing back two bottles to exchange for  other
 articles.. He was a different looking  man  from
 my first view of him. He said: ' I have no use for
 these two bottles;  four have cured me  entirely.  I
 am as well  and sound as ever in my life, and that
—pointing  to a bottle of Bach's American Com-
pound—is  the greatest remedy that was  ever
known: I have used them all, but found my cure
in this.'".

       Ulceration of the  Stomach Cured!
                Lansixgburgh, X. Y., April  7,1855.
     Gents :—For about four  years I have suffered from
  ulceration of the  stomach.   About  every two  weeks
  the breaking of these  ulcers would  be indicated by my
  coughing almost incessantly, and then would follow ex-
  pectoration of blood and thick matter.  It  is needless
  for me to say how much I have suffered.   Your  agent,
  Mr. Trulan, while here, induced me to try your " Bach's
  American Compound."  Glad  am  I  that  I  did  so.   I
  can now state to you and to  the public, that  two bottles
  of this  medicine have cured me entirely.

             AGE AND DEBILITY.
     As old age comes creeping on us, it brings many at-
  tendant infirmities.  Loss of appetite and weakness im-
  pair the health, and want of activity makes the mind
  discontented aud unhappy.   In cases where old age adds
  its influence,  it is  almost  impossible to add vigor and
  health ; and although many remedies have been tried, all
  have  failed,  until Bach's  American  Compound  was
  known and used.   In  every case where it has been em-
  ployed,  it has invariably given strength and restored  the
  appetite.   It has become  a  great agent for  this alone,
  and is used by many people who are suffering from loss
  of appetite and general debility.  In  cases of long stand-
l ing chronic diseases, it acts as a charm, invigorating the
1 system—thus giving nature another opportunity to repair
J physical injuries.

ERYSIPELAS, SALT RHEUM, or SCROFULA.

        Cure of Humor in the Blood.
    Lansingburgh, Eenss. Co.,X.Y., March 19,1855.
  Gents :—I have for a  long time past been troubled
with a HTJMOK IN  MY BLOOD, which was a great
drawback to my health, causing loss of appetite  and
general despondency.  I have tried many medicines that
were recommended, without receiving any benefit.  In
January last I  purchased two bottles of " Bach's Ameri-
can Compound."  I did not expect this quantity to cure
me, but it has.   My appetite never was better, and my
skin is free from all eruptions.  Your medicine, in my
humble opinion, is the greatest medical discovery in the
world.                JAMES BURNHAM,

   Mr. Thomas Gould, of Aurora, X. Y., writes, May 3,
that his son, aged three years, has been suffering for more
then a year with an eruption resembling both Scrofula
and Erysipelas, and after trying all  the popular medi-
cines, and different schools of doctors, says that his son
was entirely cured with six bottles of  " Bach's Ameri-
can Compound."

            OPINION  OF PHYSICIANS.
   From Lansingh Briggs, M.D., a genUeman acknowledged by his pro-
     fession to be the most eminent physician of Central New-York,
     who has not only had the best advantages our country affords, but
     was a prominent member of the Ecole de Medicine of  Paris.

                               December 5, 1854.       )
      From  frequent conversations with the proprietor of
   "Bach's  American Compound," while  making  up hia
   recipe, I became  intimately acquainted with its  compo-
   sition, and was pleased with the happy and  skilful com-
   bination of its  several remedial  constituents; confident
   that it would prove  a most  valuable auxiliary in the
   treatment of the  large and important class of diseases
   to which it purports to be adapted.
      I have now used said " Compound " somewhat exten-
   sively for the past few months, in my practice, both pri-
   vate and hospital; have also carefully watched and noted
    its effects in the hands of others, and take pleasure in
    stating that in no instance it has disappointed  my ex-
    pectations.
      As the whole  formula of the medicine is  cheerfully
    and unreservedly laid before the profession, I am happy
 A  to recommend it to  their notice, and respectfully urge
 I  that they make trial of its efficacy, feeling quite assured
 )  of a satisfactory result.

  IMPORTANT FROM DR. E. W. SABIN,
             OF ROCHESTER, W.  Y.
                                  December 1, 1855.
  This may certify that I have made a trial of "Bach's
American Compound " in a case of a severe Bronchial Affec-
tion, and a long-standing irritation of the mucus coat of the
Alimentary trade.  By the use of two bottles of the above
Compound, it is thought a permanent cure was effected.  I
have seen its wonderful effects in a decided case of Scrofula
Consumption, where the patient was thought to be beyond
cure—after taking a few bottles of the American Compound
is now thought to be out of danger, and neqrty well.  Prom
what I have seen of the effects of the Compound, I should
certainly recommend its use in such cases as above named.

                             Aururn, Feb. 17, 1855.
  I have examined the formula of  " Bach's American Com-
pound," and tested, in several cases, its effects as a remedial
agent; and as far as I have had an opportunity of using it,
consider it an exceedingly useful auxiliary to the numerous
remedies admitted as beiDg worthy of the title of official.

     P. V. E. Coventry & Co. :
      Gents :—I have received your formula for preparing
     " Bach's American Compound."  I am pleased with the
     novelty of the combination.  I used  it in my own fam-
     ily in  a  severe case of canker, which it cured within
     three days.   I can recommend its general use as a  tonic
     and alterative medicine.

                                     A.  C.  TABER, M.D.


      The great success which has attended the introduction
     of " Bach's  American Compound " is owing in a  great
     measure to the novel and  perfect manner of its combi-
     nations, and  to a hitherto unknown process of expressing
     the medicinal properties of plants in a pure state, thus
     obtaining a reliable strength, without impurities—neces-
     sarily rendering this medicine  more effective in  its
     operations than any other known to the public.

  Dear Sirs :—My daughter was very sick with Scarlet  '

and ulcerated ; her tongue was very badly swollen.  The  \

for the better, and soon the canker ulcer was entirely

               Rochester, N. T., December 1,  1855.
P. V. R. Coventry & Co. :
  Through the recommendations  of your printed adver-
tisements I was induced to try your medicine, " Bach's
American Compound."  My complaint was Bronchitis,
General Debility, and Derangement  of the Stomach.
As a matter of course, I applied  to the best physicians
I cqul4 find,, but of no avail.  I have tried your medicine
thoroughly,and think tarn cured of my diseases;  and
I would most cheerfully recommend its use to others.

  Dear Sir :—"When  in  Auburn, I  procured of  Dr.
Steele a  bottle of " Bach's American Compound" for
my wife, who, you know, has been an  invalid for years
past  Her affliction  is  Dyspepsia.   She says " that
among all the remedies she has tried for several years
past, not one of them has affected her case as favorably
as this  Compound."   Please procure from  Dr. Steele
another bottle, and send it to me immediately, and con-

husks, but put thein into the tick whole, not even clipping the huts. In >'''
this way they are much more durable.  Once in about two years

     Perfect Cure of Bronchial Affection.
                      Rochester, N. Y., Dec. 1, 1855.
   Gents :—I take this method to inform you, and the
public through you, that for some time past I have been
laboring under Bronchial Affection to  such an extent
that  I  was entirely  unfit for any kind of business.  I
ertiployed the  most eminent medical aid that I could find,
but  it  failed to  restore me  to  health.  My rest was
broken nights in consequence of a constant irritation of
my throat. I  was  also troubled with severe night-sweats,
and  was growing weak  all  the  while,  until, happily, I
heard of your invaluable medicine, " Bach's American
Compound,"  which  I  immediately procured.   I have
used one bottle and part of another, which, I am happy
to say, I think have entirely restored my health again ;
and I would most  cheerfully recommend its use  to  the
public who are afflicted as I was.

I   Cure of Dyspepsia and Nervous Debility.

     Gents :—Prompted by a feeling of duty toward you
  for being instrumental in relieving me from great suffer-
  ing, and with the wish that the following may induce
  confidence, I  give you the  result of your " Bach's Com-
  pound " in my case.  Dyspepsia and nervous debility
  have for a long time combined to make me miserable, in
  spite of doctors  and their prescriptions ; but, trusting
  that  I should  find something that would  relieve  me, I
  tried Dr. Bach's American  Compound, which is creating
  a great excitement in our neighborhood, from the many
  wonderful cures it is effecting.   I  shall help to keep up
  this excitement, by stating  that two bottles of this medi-

  stomach, and restored my nervous system to its wonted
  quiet                       MRS.  MARY E. JOY

   This Medicine was never intended originally for
the cure of Consumptives, or those suffering from
Nervous or Chronic Coughs.   But accident has dis-
covered it to be a most valuable medicine for this
class of complaints.   It was known to be a great
restorer of strength—that it would reduce chronic
inflammation  of the  throat;  but  accident  has
brought the  following cures to  our notice.   We
give them for the benefit of those suffering from
like troubles.


         Deep-seated Cough  Removed.
   Mrs. Samuel Stevens, of Sennett, Cayuga Co., N. Y.,
says :  In August last I caught a  severe cold.  I could
not rid myself of it;  it settled on my lungs, and I feared
that it would terminate in consumption.  I was troubled
a great deal with  pains in my side and near the shoulder-
blade.  Accident brought your medicine  to my notice.
Though not recommended for colds and coughs, 1 took
some of it; it gave me immediate relief.  This gave me
hope of being cured.  I kept on ; and in two weeks my
cough stopped, and the pain left me.  If I take any little
cold, all I have to do is to take a tea-spoonful ot tne
Compound, and it stops it.  I have and will recommend
this medicine to every one suffering from such attections.

                           Aururn, N. Y., April 1, 1855.
      Gents :—For several months I have had a severe pain
    in my left side, brought on by a violent cold.  I hardly
    knew what my complaint was—sometimes imagining my
    heart was diseased.  But  I continued all  the popular
    cough remedies,  one after the other, though without any
    benefit.   In January last, when " Bach's American Com-
    pound " was first on sale here,  I received  and read over
    one of the pamphlets  published by you, and was satisfied,
    from the honest manner in which every thing pertaining
    to this medicine was laid  before the "public, that  your
    Compound was worthy of my confidence.  I tried a bottle,
    and found immediate relief;  and continuing the use of it
    for  two weeks has entirely removed from me all signs of
    disease.   Please give this  publicity, as there are thou-
    sands of cases similar to mine, that should  know how I
    was cured.    Yours, with respect,

       For Tluor Albus, or Whites.
  This medicine is recommended by our most prominent
physicians,  for  the perfect  cure of this too prevalent
complaint.  Many cases have been cured by using Pro-
fessor Bach's " American Compound," when every thing
else has failed.  We are not allowed  to refer to these
cases.   A perfect cure is warranted if  our directions are
strictly followed.
           Canker in Scarlet Fever.
  Nine-tenths  of the  deaths from Scarlet Fever, are
owing to the inefficiency of the usual remedies  used to
allay the irritation of the throat and stomach.  " Bach's
American Compound " is warranted to cure every such
case.   The  moment  the  canker  appears, gargle the
mouth and throat with the Compound.   If the patient's
tongue is much swollen, use a linen swab; apply this,
saturated with  the Compound, every  twenty minutes,
and give a tea-spoonful three or four times per day.
There need be  no  hesitation ; it is your duty to use it.
One bottle will cure any case, and sometimes  not  more
than half a bottle is necessary.

    BACH'S AMERICAN  COMPOUND.
  This medicine has never failed to cure Ulcers of
long standing in the throat, after being treated by
eminent physicians, and given up as incurable, and
that in an incredibly short space of time.

  Cases of Salt Rheum  that have withstood all
remedies for years, when treated with this medi-
cine have improved from the first day's  use, until
the humor was entirely destroyed.

  Its operation is  effective in all diseases of the
mouth and throat, no matter of how long standing.

  For Ulcerated Lungs it has proved of more ser-
vice than any pectoral ever used.

  Obstinate cases of Scrofula have been cured by
it, and  many certificates  prove how effectually
Piles have been treated  by the use of  this Com-
pound.

  Thus far this medicine has more friends through
gratitude than any other  remedy ever  offered to
the  public.  That  class of diseases for which it
has been compounded are increasing by our own
weaknesses being  transmitted  to our  children.
Why not prevent thisr!  The American Compound
loill cure you as sure as the trial  is made.   It has
never failed.

Testimonial in Favor of " Bach's  American
       Compound" Curing Bronchitis.
                Seneca Falls, N. T., Jan. 31, 1856.
  Gentlemen :—My case has been an  affection or
disease of the throat, arising from inflammation of
the glands, progressing during a period of five or
six years.  Some months since, I met, by accident,
with one of your circulars of '• Bach's American
Compound."   I  was acquainted with some of the
names  in it, and  made up my mind to try a bottle
of the  medicine.  Previous  to this I  had, by the
advice  of my physician, used a solution of nitrate
of silver (with  but little good effect, however).
I  must confess I tried  your medicine, as perhaps
many others  will, with but little hope ; but I am
happy  to state, that in less than twenty-four hours
it afforded me very great relief.  Up to thif writ-
ing I have been  constantly and surely imprt - T;g.
My relief has been very great, and I can safety  »ay
that nothing in the whole range of my experience
has afforded me  such immediate and beneficial re-
sults.  My faith in its efficacy in all such cases is,
you may therefore consider,  established; and if its

WATERING TRKES.
  Dig a hole near the tree, so as not to disturb its roots, and pour in
a pailful of water.  Then draw the loose earth till the hole is filled
and covered up completely, so that  nothing wet is visible, and no
cracks will ever appear. A tree treated in this manner will not need
watering again for a week.
ANTIDOTE FOR POISON.
  A writer in the London Literary Gazette recommends, as an avail-
able and certain antidote for poison, at all times, a dessert-spoonful
of made mustard, mixed in a tumblerful  of warm water, and drank
immediately.  It acts as an instantaneous emetic

        Nurse, Mrs. Miriam S. Parish,
Who enjoys  a wide reputation as Physician and
Nurse.   She writes :  " 1 am  using  your ' Bach's
American Compound' in my practice, for Nervous
and Scrofulous Affections, with perfect success.  It
quiets the patients' nerves, while relieving them of
a  hacking and wearying  cough.   It also Purifies
the Blood.  I believe it a sovereign remedy for all
cases of Nursing Sore Mouth and Nipples.  I also
used it in  one case of Erysipelas, and found it the
best thing I have ever used.   Half a bottle gave
full  relief for  the present.  The  patient is very
anxious to have more.   In fact, through the recom-
mendations of those who have used it, I have had  I
numerous calls for it.   Please  send me  a  box  of
your medicine, and I will pay you for the same.
   " P. S.—You can make what use you  please of  \
this letter, as I have waited for  sure and  certain  1
results before writing to you."                      \

Effects of "Bach's American Compound" on
                 Impure Blood.
                      Oneida, X. Y., January, 185G.
  I have been troubled for the  last six years  with  Salt
Rheum, and have used a great many kinds of medicines,
but found  no help, until, having been persuaded by G.
W. Stoddard, of this place, to use  Bach's American
Compound, I have used three bottles, and am entirely
cured.                         CHARLES SLEIHT.
  Salt Eheum is, without doubt, the most stubborn dis-
ease in the world to  overcome ;  but  in eight cases out
of ten this Compound will cure it entirely.

                  Whitesbobo', N. Y, Feb. 18, 1856.
  Your "Bach's American Compound" is being  used
here with  the best results.  One person, afflicted  with
Itching Piles, is receiving great benefit; another  indi-
vidual, who has long suffered from Piles, says the use of
your medicine has cured him entirely, and he never was
so free from pain.    Truly yours,
                              FRANCIS  C. KING.

                       Oneida Depot, Feb. 22,1856.
Dr. Coventry :
  Dear Sir :—I have for a number of years been trou-
bled with Scrofula and Female Weakness, and also In-
flammation of the Kidneys.   My husband has laid out
a great deal  for doctoring, but received but very  little
benefit therefrom.  I was induced to  try " Bach's Com-
pound," and have taken four bottles, from which I  have
received great relief, and shall continue  taking  your
medicine till my health is entirely restored.
                 Youre, etc,        MRS.  B. WEST.

               TO REMOTE FLIES FROM ROOMS.

  Black pepper (powdered), 1 drachm; brown sugar, 1 drachm; milk
or cream, 2 drachms. Mix, and placo it on a plate or saucer where
the flies are most troublesome.
           In  Buying  this Medicine,
It was originally the intention of the proprietors to have
each bottle signed with pen and  ink, Peter V. R. Cov-
entry.   The rapid rise and sale of this Compound have
rendered that task too great for any man living ; con-
sequently, each wrapper in future will bear a fac  simile
of P. V. R. Coventry  &  Co.'s signature.  Buy only of
those dealers  whose integrity is established  beyond a
doubt.  The Compound can now be obtained of most of
the eminent dealers in medicine throughout the country,
and  all orders  addressed  to P. V. R. Coventry & Co.,
sole  proprietors,  Auburn, N. Y., will be  promptly  at-
tended to.

             TO  INVALIDS.
  If using this medicine for an internal ulceration of  the
mouth,  throat, stomach,  or  bowels,  you will find  the
action of this " Compound" will  cause a smarting and
burning sensation, you may set this down as a sure indi-
cation that you will soon  be well.                   P  j
  When there is any derangement of the stomach, weak-
ness, piles, relaxation of the  bowels, inconstance  of  the
digestive organs to fulfill their duties, you will, from using
this medicine, sometimes suffer from headache or nausea.
Do not mind these disagreeable feelings ; they are tem-
porary, and will be followed by restored health.


        This is no Secret Preparation,
As a formula of ingredients is furnished all respectable
physicians.

      In all cases of Weak Stomachs, or  of persons much debilitated,
 !   great care should be taken not to take too much at first, as an over-
 i   dose is apt to cause sickness at the stomach.  Br diluting it for a day
     or two  with two portions of rain-water, the weakest patient will soon
     be able to  take  a  table-spoonful  at a dose.  A litUe honey or loaf-
     sugar can be added, if  desirable.

                         Directions No. 1.

      For ordinary cases, one tea-spoonful three times per day, taken in-
     variably one hour before eating ; a fourth tea-spoonful can be taken
     on goin(j to bed, if the case should require it.  The first two day* it
 \    s'tould alic iy.i be reduced vith two portions of water. The third day
     it can be taken clear, until the patient can bear a table-spoonfal three
     times per day.   Some  persons  can commence with a table-spoonful
     clear;  but this must be always regulated by the patient's stomach.
     Continue tiU a cure is effected.

                         Directions No. 2.

           For Piles,  Ill-Condition  Sores, and  Eruptions.

      then commence to bathe parts affected eight or  ten times per day—

      unless injection of the  Compound (clear) is taken three or four
      times each day.

     TO  THE  FXJDBLIO-
                 —♦ ♦« ——

  It has been the intention of the proprietors of
this medicine, in giving it to the public, to furnish
something that has long been wanting in every
community; that is, a  reliable Family Medicine,
and not a "nine days'1 wonder" got up to sell.   In
the State of New-York, where it is best known,
(nearest home,) its reputation  and sale is greater
than any remedy ever known.  It will soon be the
same in every country  on the  globe.  Try it for
Throat diseases, produced by the imprudent  use
of Mercury—hacking,  nervous coughs, bronchial
affections,  internal  and external inflammations,
chronic and inflammatory rheumatism, or in any
ease where the blood is diseased.
