The Peruvian Syrop does not profess to be a cure-all, but its range is extensive, because many diseases, apparently 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 battied the highest order of medical skill. ‘The facts are tangible, the witnesses accessible, and the safety and efficacy of the Syrup incontrovert- ible. 1 have anal) the medical preparation called the Peruvian Syrup, with reference to the number and kind of active substances contained in it, and the a of the compound as a pharmaceuth calarticle.

Vast numbers fn all to other sources of relief then the immediate pre- script'oa of their family physician, and as each return of the winter season brings out a host of fessedly new speciiics, some good, others use- ess, and many decidedly dangerous, {t becomes as much a matter of duty as interest, believing this to be a remedy, combining the greatest ¥ = vantages, with the least objections of any other in use, to make it as extensively known as prac- ticable. That such is its character, isabundantly proved by the fact, that it has been extensively used the last twenty years with unparalleled suc- cess; that its reputation has continued to spread and its sale increase, with little aid from adver. tising or published lists of certificates, (which all Know can as coor, be had for a worthless preparation as fora meritorious one,) that by its own intrinsic merit, with the recommendation of persons benefitted i its use, it has aes its prezent popularity; it ts not trumpeted to the world as a specific or cure all, but asa valuable and scleatific eile J in pulmonary cases, ready at hand, and one that has been generally found to aiford relief where most others have been tried without material benedt As such, it fs recog- nised by numbers of our leading physicians, who know Its composition, and have been eye wit- nesses of its superior efficacy, as well as by thou- sands of our :most respectable citizens, to most of whom reference !s cheerfully permitted.
