THE GREAT SPRING mEDSCHNE.
JOHNSTON’S SARSAPARILLA as a Blood Food and Nerve Energizer, is the
greatest SPRING MEDICINE ever discovered. It comes as a rich blessing from
heaven to the “ worn out,” the run down, the overworked and debilitated. That “tired
feeling,” those “sinking spells,” the languor and despondency which arise from badly nour-
ished 'nerves, from thin, vitiated blood and an underfed body, vanish'as if by a magic
ipell. The weariness, lassitude and nervous prostration which accompany the springs
time and the-heat of Summer, are conquered and banished at once. For every form of
neurasthenia, and all ailments of the brain and nerve, insomnia, hysteria and nervousness
generally, it is. almost a specific. It furnishes the very elements to rebuild worn-out nerve
tissues." It feeds brain, nerve centers and nerves, calming and equalizing their action; it
makes rich, red, honest blood. Newness of life, new hope, new strength follow its faith
ful use. It makes the weak strong, arid the old young again.
It was the antiquated (but now happily exploded) method in the good old times, to
treat Salt Rheum, Scrofula, Cancer and other troublesome disorders arising from
BLOOD TAINT with powerful alteratives, such as mercury, arsenic and other mineral
agents. It was expected by this treatment that the poison could be killed while the blood
was left to course through its channels holding in its circulation the speciftc germs of the
disease. But in this way. every part of the body became more oi less diseased. Noth-
ing can be more terrible than a horribly destructive blood taint. It not'only attacks viru
lently the different structures of the body, but many times the bones are honey-combed
