T HE undersigned would respectfully call the
attention of tiie public to tlieir justly celebra
ted ANTI-HYDROPIC TINCTURE. A fair trial
is all we ask to convince the most incredulous that
our treament is no humbug. Many who have de
spaired of recovery have been entirely relieved un
der our treatment. We would say to those afflicted
with that loathsome disease, the Dropsy, to delay
no time in giving us a call. Remember the old
proverb, “Procrastination is the thief of time ’’
We will visit patients when desired and reasona
bly compensated for our trouble. On the receipt
of ten dollars we will forward to any Railroad de
pot its value in our medicine.

of Dropsy, which I directed to be placed under your

weeks you made a final cure. The above specified case
has since been uuder my notice, hut no sign of Dropsy
1ms since been visible, X would therefore direct all who
have the Dropsy to give you a trial, lor I think your
medicine the greatest ever discovered for Dropsy.
