CEDRON BITTERS!

The Latest and Most Important

Discovery of tbc Nineteenth

-.•/ Century

No man's name is more intimately connected with tho history of Materia Medica of the United States, or inoro favorably known as a pioneer ia medical discovery, than that of

John Bull, of Louisville, Ky.

Ills inimitable preparation of Sarsaparilla has long^iood at the head of the various compoundH of that valuable drug.

HIS COMPOUND OF WILD CHERRY

Has boconie a household word throughout west and south.

tho

His "Worm Lozenges

In less than a year after their introduction attained a reputation as wide-spread as tho continent of North America.

But the crowning glory of his life remains to bo attained in his late discovery, or rather combination, lor he docs not claim to have been the discoverer of

Which is the basis of the bitters now offered to the public. That honor belongs to the native inhabitants of Central ameriea, to whom its virtues have been known for more than two hundred years. Armed with it the Indian bids defiance to tho most deadly malaria, and handles, without fear, the most venouious serpent. It is a belief with them, that while there is breath left in the body, the Ccdron is potent to cure, no matter what tlia disease may be.

While Dr. Bull is not prepared to endorse this extravagant pretension, he is, nevertheless, satisfied from a thorough examination of the evidence relating to its virtues, that aa a remedy and preventive for aii dbcases arising from exposure, either to changes of weather and climate, or to tho mi&imatic iufluec i.., mds

11ST DYSPEPSIA

And all its attendant train of symptoms, it acta more like a charm than a medicine. There is, nothing in the whole range of Materia Medica that can for a moment bear a comparison with it in this disease.

A full account of this wonderful plant may be: found in the 11th edition of the U. £?. Dispensatory, pages 1387 and 13S8.

A series of experiments in which Dr. Bull has been for years engaged, has just been brought to a successful termination, and he is now enabled to 5 offer to the public a combination of CEDROJf with other approved tonics the whole preserved in tqo best quality of copper distilled Bourbon whisky, which ho is confident has no equal in tho world.

He might furnish a volume of certificates, but tho public has long since learned to estimate such things at their true value. The safest plan is, for every one to test for himself the virtues of a. now medicine.
