Never before was there anything like it, nor are its marvellous properties likely ever to be equalled in diseases arising from impure blood. It sear ohes out and expels from the vital current avery lurking trace of poison- ons matter, curing blood and skin diseases, scrotalous and glandalar dwellings, bad lege, abeceuses, ulcers, eczema, gout, rheumatism, goitre or Derbyshire Nock, etc. It improves the general health and quickly removes long-standing bronchitis, asthma and hacking, straining, spasmodic cough, too often the precursor of consumption.
