(fcf* Analysis has proved that the component parts
of vegetables are analogous—Liebig says identical
—with those of the physical structure of Man.—
No such analogy as identity can be detected in the
mineral kingdom. Thus Nature herself seems to
point out her vegetable productions a» a legitimate
study of the u edical practitioner, and by the laws
of affinity to give them a more important place in
the scale of remedial agents than the products of
the mine. The extraordinary and highly benefi
cial revolution which has been wrought in the
treatment of ninny diseases by the introduction of
Sands’ Sarsaparilla, is an apt illustration of this
theory. Uniting in itself the three cardinel pro
perties of the anti putrescent, a tonic and a cathar
tic. it at the same time purifies the circulation, in
vigorates the digestive organs, and carries off the
morbid matter which disease accumulates in the
system Thepatic disorders, tumorous swellings,
scrofulous ulcers, and all the irritations ami inflam
ni»lions of the skin, if within the reach of human
remedies; are speedily alleviated by this prepara
tion. •
For further particulars and conclusive evidence
of its superior valuo and efficacy, see pamphlets,
which may be obtained of agents gratia.
