THEODOltE STARK, Havor. J. H. MCMAHON, City CUrk. The Great American Blood Purifier. TUB QUEEN'S ?UT! RJ"Mil-: C-U' EN'S DELIGHT, the great _L American ? Iterative and blood Puri? fier, is the most perfect vegetable com I pound of aiterativ? s, tonics, diuretics and diaphoretics; making it the most effective ! invigorating, rejuvenating and blood ! cleansing cordial known tu *': .. world. I lu introducing this 1,, ,y and extraordi? nary medicine to thc public, observe*?on I leads us to remark that too little attention ! is paid to the "lifo of all flesh," the blood. J Many diseases, and. too,many complaints, i which have their origin ma vitiated state of the blood, are treated < m ly as symptoms land results; whereas, if the remedy had : been applied to enrich tho blood and ren ! der it pure, both cause and effect would I have been removed. Tho Queen's Delight j is offered to thc afflicted as a sure remedy I for those diseases arising from an impure condition of tho blond, it bas a direct and speedie action upon that fluid, and consequently renders the blood pure. It ! is said, on high authority, that "man nc sooner begins to live than he begins tc die, and that the characteristics of tin living organism arc ceaseless change am ceaseless waste." It is obvious, therefore to every reflecting mind, that unless thc blood is pure, in supplying tho waste tis sues with material, it must be thc cause, o innumerable ills and constitutional disor ders, such as Scrofula, Rheumatism, He patic Disorders, Consumption, Inflamma tions, Fevers, Ac. Life and health is onL to be maintained by the circulation of pun ' arterial blood. We therefore advise every ona whosi blood is in the least vitiated by indulgent or excess, and whose constitution is im paired by disease and is suffering fron Rheumatism, Liver Complaint, Consump tion, Scrofula or King's Evil, Carbuncles Boils, Itching Humor of the Skin, Erysi polas, Skin Diseases, Tetter, Roughness o tho Skin, Pimples, Blotches, Pains in th Bones, old Ulcers, Syphilis and Syphilicti Sores, Indigestion, Inflammation of th Bladder and Kidneys, Pains in thc Back General Debility, and for all complaint arising from deficiency and poverty o blood, to use the Queen's Delight. Females of delicate constitution, suffer ing from weakness and depression ot mini in consequence of those complaints whicl nature imposes at the period of change have a pleasant and sure rem, dy in th Queen's Delight. Children whose fair and ruddy complex ion gave early promise of health am beauty, but too soon become blanched an pale by some hereditary taint ot the bloot will have the rich boon restored by usin the Queen's Delight. The unacclimated ami persons travelin into warm countries will find the Queen1 Delight a great protection from all malar ons affection and diseases which originat in a change of climate, diet and life. Tho extraordinary and unprecedente cures performed by the Queen's Deligl Compound is attracting tho attention ( every one, not only at home, but abroiu Thc merits of this compound aro bein felt and appreciated evervwhere. Hey what they say of it in New York: "It is remedy of much importance and valu exerting an influence over all tho seen tions, which is unsurpassed by any otb? known alterative. It is extensively used i all tho various forms of primary ar secondary syphilitic affections; also, scrofulous, hepatic andciitaueous disease in which its use is fellowed by the mo successful results." Its properties as a remedy were first i troduced to the notice i.f the profession I Dr. Thos. Young Simons, of South Carolin as . ..riv as 1828, as a valuable alterativer medy in syphilitic affections, and others r quiring use of mercury. Dr. Simons' stat menta have been endorsed and extend? by Dr. A. Lope/., of Mobile, and Dr. H. Frost, of Charleston. From the reports its favor, there seems no reason to don the efficacy of this medicine in Seconda Syphilis, Scrofula, Cutaneous Disease Chronic Hepatic Affections and other coi plaints benefited by alterative medicine For sale wholesale anil retail bv FISHER & HEIN?TSH, Dec 27 Druggists, Columbia.
