GREAT CURE OF RHEUMATISM.
The Editors of the Richmond Republican,
f Dec 24, 1852, say that Carter's Spanish
Mixture is no quack medicine.
They had a man in their press room who
was afllicted with violent Mercurial Rheu
matism, who was continually complaining of
misery in his back, limbs and joints; his
eyes had become feverish and mattery, neck
swollen, throat sore, and all the symptoms
of rheumatism, combined with Scrofula.
Two bottles of Carter's Spanish Mixture
cured hiro, and in an editorial notico as
above, they bear testimony to its wotylerful
good effects, and say their oy regret i0
that all suffering with diseases of th blood
are not aware of of the Cxistcn.oQ of such a
medicine. They cheerful rond U.
See their certificate, and notice in full around
the bottle. " '
Thousands of parents who tue Vermifuge
composed of castor oil, calomel, &c. are not
aware,' that while they appear to benefit the
patient, they are actually laying the founda
tions for a series of diseases, such as saliva
tion, loss of sight, weakness of limbs," &c.,
