THE TONIC. PROFESSOR GUS,SCOTT’S TONIC FOB INTERNAL AND EXTERNAL ACHES AND PAINS Is warranted to cure headache, toothache, colie, cramps, neuralgia,, spinal affections, sere and weak eyes, rheumatism, coughs and colds, sprains, fever and ague, deafness, piles, catarrh in the head, pains in the breast and side, stiff neck, swollen joints, contracted cords and muscles, lame and weak back, &c., and for speedy and permanent cure of the moat hopeless cases of dyspepsia, jaundee, chills and fever, disordered digestion, general debility, and many other diseases caused by vitiated bile being taken up in the circulation and distributed with blood through various parts of the body, for the want of a proper remedy to regulate the liver. The liver is the lever, the propeller of our health, the regulator of the human system, the main-spring of our body, by which all the organs of cur stomach arc regulated and kept in active motion. The further office of the liver is to compare and secrete the bile, serve as a ! strainer or filterer of the blood, eradicate all I impurities therefrom, and to refine and make it pure, rich, and healthy. How indispensably necessary then, for the good of our health, that our liver should always be in good working condition, that we may always have pure healthy blood. If tho liver should be inactive or in any way diseased, our whole system is made to suffer severely; our mental, physical, and nervous powers become weakened and sick, because of the blood not being purified and made healthy, which brings upon us paralysis, dropsy, and many other disagreeable and gloomy feelings; the skin and eyes will assume a dark and yellow appearance, the kidneys refuse to do part of the w;rk, and tho urine becomes colored and forms a thick dust sediment after standing a while. There will be pain in the small of the beck, extending through and under the shou'der blades, with creeping chills running down the back, sluggish and very sleepy feeling at times, cold hands and feet, and often sick headache; pain is felt in the pit of the stomach, with allgone sinking feeling at times, flatulency and acidity, fluttering and trembling sensation at the heart, sour eructations, offensive belehings of tho wind and gas, and very often there is water brash and vomiting; the tongue coated with a whitish fur, headache, heartburn, palpitation, wind, colic, general debility, fever, bowels irregular (sometimes constipated, and other times quite loose), when portions of the food are passed off undigested. All of these ailments proceed from an inactive or diseased liver not properly secreting or straining from the blood the poison element contained therein, which makes its rounds of circulation through our whole body once in every four minutes, the same by night as by day; without one moment’s pause or cessation this life-giving process must go on from the earliest of our being to life’s latest hour. Thus you will learn how it is, and what it is that makes us sick, breaks down our health, destroys our happiness, debilitates our body, weakens our nerves, and worries the brain, and brings upon ns all kinds of fevers, causes the body to suffer with aches and pains. PROFESSOR GUSSCOTT’S TONIC Is a Perfect Cure for Rheumatism. It is intended to have the same effect upon the liver and bilious organs as calomel and blue pills, without those serious results to the system that follow the use of such dangerous and poisonous minerals. The tonic possesses more activity than any other purgative medicine ever known—it operates freely, without pain or griping or sickness of the stomach ; the reason why it is so is because erch ingredient acts independently of the other —some are for the liver and pancreatic juice, another acts upon the bowels, another upon the stomach, and another upon the intestines, &c., yet the united combination is one of great power. While it purges the bowels of their unhealthy contents, it restores tho secretions, stimulates the various digestive functions, and starts the blood into free and active circulation. How we are to take it.— One wineglassfnl at bedtime, and one wineglassful an tour after each meal. If that quantity should prove too active upon your bowels, take only half the quantity. One of Professor Quscott’s composition powders being taken occasionally. The Mind, how affected by Disease. —No cause of dyspepsia is more severe than which disturbs and frets the mind, and nothing more injurious to the health than grief, when it sinks into the mind. Mental agitation or sudden anger will put an end to the appetite, and bring digestion to a sudden stop Always be cheerful while eating, it facilitates digestion. Professor Gnsscott’s Tonic also purifies the blood and removes all impurities from the system. The ingredients composing this sovereign remedy are purely vegetable, being carefully selected at the proper season by experienced resident agents among the Shakers of New Lebanon, who make the culture of medical roots and herbs a speciality. Professor Gusscott’s Tonic carries “healing on its wings,” gives hope and health to the afflicted, strength to the invahd, vigor, buoyancy, energy, and vitality to the enfeebled. It acts upon all the functions of the human system, searches out the impurities existing in the vital fluid, attacks and dispe.s them. It is mildly purgative, exerting a soothing and cooling influence on the bowels, strengthens the stomach, gives activity to the liver and digestive organs, allays all internal inflammation, invariably cures dyspepsia, blind and bleeding piles, sick headache and all disorders arising from biliary derangement. The greatest possible care is used in preparing it. Instead of giving pleasantly-flavored compound, possessing no medical virtue, the professor offers a scientifically prepared, concentrated vegetable extract in itself, and three fundamental elements of tonic, alterative, and cathartic. In severe cases of rheumatism of long standing, whether chronic or inflammatory, or mercurial, it invariably effects a speedy and permanent cure ; it not merely gives relief for the time being, but goes to the root of evil and removes the cause. j
For all scrofulous and cutaneous eruptions, boils, blotches, pustules, pimples, tetter, salt rheum, running sores, ulcers, and all disorders of the blood hereditary or acquired, it is a specific. It is unnecessary to specify the many complaints to which it is applicable and necessary, knowing and believing that a good remedy carries success with it, and speaks in louder tones than human tongue can utter to the heart of the sufferer. Professor Gusscott offers it on its own merits, and leaves it to prove its own value by its operation on the system. Professor Gusscott calls special attention to the fact that his tonic is an infallible preventative of fever and ague, bilious fevers, dumb ague, and many prevalent diseaseslof like nature, arising from biliousness, inactivity of the liver, and an impaired circulation. Persons subject to and suffering from the effects of these disorders, are assured that every symptom will be thoroughly eradicated from the system, and the injurious effects of over doses of quinine speedily counteracted by this remedy. In some cases Professor Gusscott’s Tonic will at first occasion a slight nausea and bad taste in the mouth ; this only occurs when the stomach ar.d liver are badly deranged, and is the best evidence that the remedy is having the desired effect. A few doses will, in every instance, remedy all that. To females it is indispensable and invaluable, insuring regularity, strength, elasticity of spirits, brilliancy and beauty of complexion, freedom from nervousness, despondency, female weakness, dyspepsia, and general debility. In conclusion, remember the beneficial effect of any remedy, however valuable, may be retarded and counteracted by injudicious conduct on the part of the patient whilst taking it; then we advise regularity and temperance. Your health—your life may be at stake. Do not trifle with yourself; for if the current that gives health, strength, and vitality is tainted, wretchedness, discontent, sickness, and death must and will follow as a natural consequence.
