M. P. KING. THE GREATEST MEDICAL DISCOVERY OF THE AGE. Dr. KENNEDY, of Rexbary, Has discovered in one of our coMMON PASTURE WEEDs a remedy that cures EVERY KIND F HUMOR; FROM THE WORST SCROFULA DOWN TO 4 COM- MON PIMPLE. He HAS TRIED IT IN OVER ELEVEN hundred cases, and never failed except in two cases, (both thunder humor ) He has now in his eS over two a jie nor of its vir- e, all within twenty miles of Boston. ‘Pwo bottles are warranted to cure a nursing sore mouth. One to three bottles will cure the worst kind of pimples on the face. Two to three bottles will clear the system of biles. Two bottles are warranted to cure the worst canker in the mouth and stomach. Three to baa rere are warranted to cure the rst Case 0! . One to two pottles are warranted to cure all humor in the eyes. Two bottles are warranted to cure running of the ears and blotches among the hair. Four to six bottles are warranted to cure corrupt and running ulcers. One le will cure scaly eruptjon of the skin. Two to three bottles are warranted to cure the worst 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 cases of scrofula. A benefit is always experienced from the first bottle, and a perfect cure is warranted when the above quantity Is taken. Reader, | peddled over a thousand bottles of this in the vicinity of Boston. I know the effect of itin everycase Sosureas water will extin- guish fire, so sure will this cure humor. I never sold a bottle of it but that sold another; after a trial it always speaks for itself. There are two things about this herb that appears to me surpris- ing; first thatit grows in our pastures, in some aces quite plentiful, and yet its value never feos kines want d alace vere tt fa 1816—second, that it should cure all kinds of humor. in order to give some idea of the sudden rise and t popularity of the discovery, I will state that in April, 1853, 1 peddled it, and sold about 6 bottles per day—in April, 1854, I sold over 1,000 bottles per day of it. Some of the wholesale Druggists who have been in business twenty and thirty years, say that no- thing In the an! of patent medicines was ever like ft. ‘There is a universal praise of it from al! quarters. In my own practice I se hd kept it strictly for humors—but sinee its introduction as a general family medicine, great and wonderful virtues have been found In {t that I never suspected. Several cases of epileptic its—a disease which was always considered incurable, have been cured by afew Potties. UO, what a mercy tf it will prove effectual in all cases of that a malady—there are but few who have seen more of it than I have. 1 know of several cases of Dropsy, all of them ay people cured by it. For the various diseases of the Liver, Sick Headache, Dys) iia, Asthma, Fever and Ague, Pain inthe Side, Diseases of the Spine, and particularly in diseases of the Kid- neys, &c., the discovery has done more good than any medicine ever known No change of diet ever necessary—eat the best you can get and enough of It. Directions for Use.—Adults one table spoonful + day—Children over ten years dessert spoon Fi Chiidren from five to elyht years, tea spoon- ful. As no directions can be applicable to all con stitutions, take sufficient to operate on the bowels twice a day. MANUFACTURED BY DONALD KENNEDY, No. 120 Warren street, Roxbury, Mass.
