Animals, by an impulse called instinct, in
many instances arrive at a result which man car.
only attain through experiment. The dog when
sick, groedily devours grass ; and several kinds of
animals and birds resort to certain plants when
wounded by the fangs of poisonous reptiles. Winn
the lower orders of creation can thus draw from the
magazine of vegetable nature the crude materials
of health, what may not man effect by the process
es of combining, condensing and applying them !
Vast benefits have ulrendy been accomplished in
thit way, and we may point to the facility and cer
tainty with which, under the blessings of a benevo
lent Providence, Scrofula and all its foul kindred
of ulcerous diseases are eradicated by Sauds’Sar
saparilla ns among the happiest of those benefits.
For further particulars and conclusive evidence
of its superior value and efficacy, see pamphlets,
which may be obtuined of agent* gratis.
