BAD BLOOD! ;'h "A corrupt tree," saith the Inspired volume, "bringeth forth not good fruit." _ nor can corrupt blood Jbipart healtn, beauty and good flesh, or spirits. *'The BIoou Is the Life," and health can only jg 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 se spirits, long life and happiness. uh ; An impure condition of the blood, . ie manifests itself in different forms of j diseases, such as Tetter, Salt Rheum, Scald-head, Ring Worms, Pimples, Boils Blotches, Spots, Eruptions, Pustules, le Carbuncle's, Bote Eyes, Rough Skin, ;h Scurf, Scrofulas Sores and Swellings, to Fever Sores, White Swellings, TuOn.no ni? CurnlHnrro fivrihlUHn ULlUi Dj ViU VTA W I' Vim<gu| ^ Affections of the Skin, Throat and Bones, Ulcers of fhe Liver, Stomach, Kidneys, Lungs and Uterus. In this condition of things something is needed at once to cleanse the. blood, and neutralize the Insiduous poison that BURNS LIKE A TERRIBLE FIRE _ as it courses through the veins, sowing seeds of death with every pulsation. Dr. Pemberton's Compound Extract of Stillingia, (or Queen Delight) will positively effect this disideratum, expelling every trace of disease from the , blood and system, and leaving the skin !l* SOFT, FAIR AND BEAUTIFUL. For all diseases of the blood, livers and kidneys, the Great Vegetable Alterative is without a rival. It will cure any chronic or long standing disease whose real or direct cause is bad blood. Rheumatism, pains in limbs or bones, constitutions broken down by Mercurial ' or other poisons, are all cured by it. ic For Syphilis, Syjmilictic Taint, there is it nothing equal to it. A trial 'will prove n it. It is a most useful Spring and Fall Purifier of the Blood. | Its safety and innocence have been fully ted, so that it may be administered to the most tender infant.
