CURES ALL DISEASES.
Because all diseases are
the result of fermentation
and decay, caused by living
microbes in the human
system, and whatever rem
edy will .purify the blood
by removing the cause of
disease and build up the'
health and strength of the
patient, is the one to use.
Kadam's Mickobe Killer
is nature's remedy, and is
the greatest boon ever
given to mankind, hence the spurious imitations
which follow in the path of its wonderful cures
of Consumption, Catarrh. Debility, Indigestion,
Rheumatism Bowel, Bladder, Skin and all other
diseases which are quickly and permanently
cured by this never failing compound which has
done more for suffering humanity than all the
prescriptions of poisonous drugs, nostrums, so
called proprietary medicines, &c, all put to
gether, because it removes the cause of disease
and insures health. Thousands of voluntary cer
tificates of almost miraculous cures attest these
facts, and demonstrate to the world that Wm.
Radam, the Great Pioneer in his Wonderful Dis
covery, has gone far ahead of all other explores
in scientific fields, and has demonstrated beyond
a doubt that no disease can exist without a dis
ordered system, and his superb remedy stands at
the front because it is
THE ORIGINAL AND OLD RELIAWLE
Microbe Killer a palatable remedy which cures
diseases by arresting decay and placing the sys
tem in a natural and healthy condition.
Investigate the merits of this wonderful health
giving discovery which hs stood the test and
curedtbousands of all manner of disease; and be
ware of all other so-called germ or microbe de
stroyers, which are often thus advertised to sell
their otherwise worthless mixtures, and which
are but imitators of this great wonder working
remedy. ...
