A Remedy That No One Is
Afraid To Take,
Dr. Thaclier's Liver and Blood Syrup
has been used in thousands of homes for
fifty-two years with perfect confidence
and the most remarkable results.
The great success of this remedy is due
to the fact that its formula (which consists
of Buchu, Hydrangea, Mandrake,
Yellow Dock, Dandelion, Sarsaparilla,
Gentian, Senna and Iodide of Potassium)
has been freely published. ?
Doctors and Druggists everywhere do
not hesitate to recommend a preparation
which they know contains the bestknown
remedies for correcting all irregularities
of the Liver, Kidneys or Blood,
and the diseases caused by the failure of
these functions to perform their proper
work.
Thousands of sick ones to whom life
has been a burden have written grateful
letters that others might profit by their
experience.
Blooming Guovr, Tfx , Nov. 13, 1902.
I was suffering terribly with indigestion and
kidney trouble and sent to my druggist for
something to relieve me.
As he sent me a package of Dr. Thaeher'a
I.iver and Blood Syrup I concluded to try it,
and row I am deeply grateful to my druggist
as well as to you.
I had been a sufferer from these things and
a general run-down condition for ten years,
and had only received temporary relief front
other medicines. But after using not quite two
packages of your Liver and Blood Syrup I feel
as stout and hearty as I ever did in my lif?, and
I am satisfied that I am entirely cured. I feel
no symptoms whatever of kidney trouble, and
my digestion is as good as any living man's,
I can now eat whatever I choose.
I n-v.r b <1 any remedy give me such quick
and permanent relief, and I can not put a correct
estimate on the value your medicine haa
been to me. I would not take any amount of
money for it. Very gratefully yours
