The Peruvian Syrup, a Proteitf* ed Solution of the Protoxide of Iron, is so combined as to have the character of an aliment, as easily digested and assimilated, with the blood as the simplest food. It increases the quantity of Nature's Otvn Vitalizing Agent, Iron in the blood, and cures "a thousand ills," simply by Toning up, Invigorating and Vitalizing the System. The en~ riched and vitalized blood permeates every part of the body, repairing damages and waste, searching out morbid secre lions, ana leaving noininy jor disease to feed upon. < This is the secret of the won~ derful success of this remedy in curing Dyspepsia, Liver Complaint, Dropsy, Chronic Diar? rhoea, Boils, Nervous Affections,* Chills O and Fevers, Humors, loss of Constitutional Vigor, Diseases of the Kidneys and Bladder, Female Complaints, and all diseases originating in a bad state of the blood, or accompanied by debility or a low state of the system* Being free from Alcohol, in any form, its energizing effects are not fol wcvc'iv uy w/ # vu^/vfwwvf*'^ v vwv Hon, but are permanent, infusing strength, vigor, and new life into all parts of the system, and building up an Iron Con* stitution. Thousands have been changed by the use of this remedy, from weak, sickly, suffering creatures, to strong, healthy, and happy men and women; and invalids cannot reasonably hesitate to give it a trial.
