Iyer's Sarsaparilia
Acompound remedy, designed to be the most
effectual Alterative that can be made. It is
concentrated extract of Para Sarsaparilla,
bo combiaeiiy itithestace ftyfifll'
greater alterative p4safioJ-an SeW.
tive antidote for the diseases Sarsaparilla is
teputed to cure. It is believed that such a
remedy is wanted by those who suffer from
Strumous complaints, and that one '-which will
accomplish their cure must prove of immense
I service to Uiis large class bTout afflicted fellow
Icitizens. How completely this compound will
do it has been proven by experiment on many
of the worst cases to be fQund of the following
.complaints:
Scuofulaj an -Scrofulous - ConptAixTs,
. EttUPTlONS ANU.EauVTiVEDlskASE3, mCEU-S,
-ESf otcues, Tumous, Salt Rueum,
ecxLij nAnr Stphilts Aim StphiliticAf
rECTioxs, STekcurial Disease, Dropsy, Neu
ralgia ou Tic Doclocrecx, Debility, Dys
pepsia AND lNDIGESTION,lEtt.Y8IPELAS, ROSE
or Sr. Anthony's Fire, and indeed the whole
class of complaints arising from Impurity op
the Blood. '
This compound will be found a great pro
moter of health, when taken in the spring to
! fTO fculiwswB
blood afcthat seasoji of the-yeariBy thetime v
; ly expulsioli of them mtfiyranklirlg disdrders -are
nipped in the bud. Multitudes can, by
the aid of this remedy, spare themselves from
.the endurance of foul eruptions and ulcerous
sores, through wliich the system will strive to
rid itself of corruptions, if not assisted to do
- this through the natural channels of the body
by an ; alterative medicine. Cleanse out the
vitiated blood whenever you find its impurities
bursting through the skin in pimples, eruptrons,
or sores; cleanse it when you find it is ob
structed and, luggjsl in the veins ; cleanse it
whenever it isr four,nd UrfeelingVwUI telll)
you when. Even where no particular disorder
is felt,; people enjoy better health, and live
longer,! for cleansing the blood. Keep the
blood healthy, and all is well ; but with this
pabulum of life disorder there can be no
lasting j health. Sooner J or later ; something
must go wrong, and the great machinery of
life is disordered or overthrown.
Sarsaparilla has, and deserves much, the
reputation of accomplishing ftheseends. But
the world has been egregiously deceived by
preparations of it, partly because the drug
alone has not all the virtue that is claimed
, for it, but more because many preparations,
pretending to be concentrated extracts of it,
cor jain but little of the virtue of Sarsaparilla,
ojPfiiy thing else.
During late years the public have been mis
led by large bottles, pretending to give a quart
' of Extract ot Ssaparil Wfor piie dollar Most f
of these JkVe beeiii frauds Jpcfeijthe.skj: for j
they not only contain' little, if any, Sarsapa-
rilla, but often no curative properties whatev
er. Hence, bitter and painful disappointment
has follo;,l the use of the various extracts of
"Sarsaparii;Avhic8i flood the market, until the
name itself is justly despised, and has become
synonymous with imposition and cheat. Still
we call this compound Sarsaparilla, and intend
to supply such a remedy as shall rescue the
name from the load of obloquy which rests
upon it. And wejtliiijk wejiave ground for
by the ordinary'run of llietuscuse3 it is intend
ed to cilre. In order to secure their complete
eradication from the system, the remedy should
be judiciously taken according to directions on
the bottle.
