I "A corrupt tree," saitti tne inspired * I volume, "bringeth forth not good fruit," f nor can corrupt blood impart health, beauty and good flesh, or spirits. "The . Blood is the Life," aud health can only be enjoyed in its full perfection where the blood is kept in a pure and uncorrupted state, hence the necessity of pure blood, to give health, beauty, buoyant spirits, long life and happiness. * An impure condition of the blood, manifests itself in different forms of < diseases, such as Tetter, Salt Rheum, Scald-head, Ring Worms, Pimples, Boils Blotches, Spots, Eruptions, Pustules, J Carbuncles, Sore Eyes, Rough Skin, Scurf, Scrofulas Sores and Swellings, * Fever Sores, White Swellings, Tu more, Old Sores or Swellings, Sypnuitic Affections of the Skin, Throat and Bones, Ulcers of the Liver, Stomach, j Kidneys, Lungs and Uterus. In this condition of things something is needed at once to cleanse the blood, aud neutralize the insiduous poison that BURNS LIKE A TERRIBLE FIRE as it courses through the veins, sowing . seeds of death with every pulsation. 1 Dr. Pemberton's Compound Extract i of Stillingia, (or Queen Delight) will \ positively effect this disideratum, expel- ] ling every trace of disease from the blood and system, and leaving the skin SOFT, FAIR AJN.D JBJKAUXii? uaj. For all diseases of the blood, livers # and kidneys, the Great Vegetable Al- *f terative is without a rival. It will cure ] auy chronic or long standing disease t whose real or direct cause i? bad blood. Rheumatism, pains in limbs or bones, 1 constitutions broken down by Mercurial or other poisons, are all cured by it. ] For Syphilis, Syphilictic Taint, there is c nothing equal to it. A trial will prove it. It is a most useful Spring and Fall Purifier of the Blood. J Its safety and innocence have been i fully ted, so that it may be administered L to the most tender infant. f SQk, Beware of counterfeits anu suo8titutes.
