The proofs of its are so numerous, so ‘well authenticated, and of euch peculiar charac- ter, that sufferers cannot rei y hesitate to re- celve the proffered aid. The Peruvian Leki 4 does not profess to be a eure-all, but its is extensive, because many diseases, epparenily unlike, are intimately re- lated, and, proceeding from one cause, may be cured by one remedy The class of diseases for which the Syrup pro- vides a cure, is precisely that which has so often baffied the highest order of medical skill. The facts are tai le, the witnesses accessible, and the safety efficacy of the Syrupdncontrovert- ib ve anal) the Peruvian Syrap, with é to the number and kind of active substances contained in it. and the prraeenny the compound asa pharmaceuti cal article. he metallic compounds of arsenic, antimony, mercury end zinc are not present, nor is it possible to detect init the 8! htest indica- tion of any metallic and mineral poison _ Its or- ganic constituents do not include opium, or any of the drugs yielding poisonous principles. ‘fhe constituents, when separated, are not even acrid tothe taste. It isa preparation scientifically and skilfully compounded, possessing all the durabil- ity of a spirituous tincture, without its objection- able qualities and the astivity of its leading con- stituent ts preserved through the judicious adap- tation of its solvent.
