Messrs Dean, Steel, and Co.— - Gentlemen, —Some months age a youu» my called upon us and purchased a buttle of “ The Blood Puriiier,” Old Dr Jacob Townsend’s Sarsaparilla. So delicate was his state of health that it was the subject of remark; there was hurried breathing, emaciation, debility, aud other uumistakeable symptoms of phthisis. He called several times afterwards, each time buying a bottle and so improved in appearance that we congratulated him upon it. He said that Old Dr Jacob Townsend’s Sarsaparilla had saved his life, ana also that of his brother, who | was far gone in consumption, and who had I been taking it with the same benefit as himself. Both brothers are now in vigorous j health, each weighing more than 13 stone.— Robert Roper and Son. Sold by all drug, gists at Home and in the Colonies. Chief Depot—l3l, Fleet street, London.

Prepared by Grimault & Co., Chemists, Reu de Feuillade, Paris. According to the formula of Dr Corvisart Knight of the Legion of Honour, Physician to H.M, the Emperor of the French, Pepsine is the gastrio juice itself, or rather the active principle purified, which digests food in the stomach. When from various causes the supply ©f the digestive fluid, s too small, the inevitable consequences are bad digestion, gastritis, gas* tralgia; inflammation of the mucous coat of the stomach and bowels, heart-burn,ancemea, loss of strength, and in females general de* r augement. The Elixir of Pepsine, which is sanctioned by the approbation of the Paris Academy of Medicine speedily cures all such diseases, and prevents vomiting during preg* nancy. Agents iu all the Colonies.
