This successful and highly popular remedy, as employed in the Continental Hospitals by Ricard, Rostan, Jobert, Velpeau, and others, combines all the desiderata to be sought in a medicine of the kind and surpasses everything hitherto employed.

THERAPION No. 1

in a remarkably short time, citen a few days only, removes all discharges from the urinary organs, superseding injectious, the use of which does irre

the foundation of stricturo parable harm by laying t and other serious diseases.

+

THERAPION No.2

for impurity of the blood, scurvy, pimples, spots, blotches, pains and swelling of the joints, tecon- dary symptoms, gout, rheumatism, and all discases for which it has been too much a fashion to em- ploy mercury, sarsaparilla, &c., to the destruction of sufferers' teeth and ruin of bealth. This pre- paration purifies the whole system through the blood, and thoroughly eliminates every poisonous. matter from the body..
