IT LEADa THE LEADERS.—The foremost medioine of the day, Bardook Blood Bitters is a purely vegetable compound possessing perfect regulating powers over all the organs of the system and controlling their seare- tations. It so purifies the blood that it oures all blood humors . and disease from •a com- mon pimple to the worst scrofulous sore, and this combined with its unrivalled regu- lation, cleansing and purifying inflaenoe on the secretions of the liver, kidneys, bowels and skin, render it unequalled as a euro for all diseases of the skin. From one to two bottles will cure boils, pimples, blotches, nettle rash, sore, totter, and all the simple forms of akin disease. From two to four bottles will cure salt rheum or eczema, shingles, erysipelas, ulcers, abscesses, run- ning sores, and all ekin eruptions. It is noticeable that sufferers from skin diseases are nearly aggravated by intolerable itching bnt this quickly subsides on the removal of the disease by B. B. B. Passing ou to gra- ver yet prevalent diseases such as scrofula swellings, humors and scrofula, we have undoubted proof that from three to six bot- tles used internally and by outward appli. cation (dilated if the skin is broken) to the affected parts, will affect a care. The great mission of B. B• B. is to regulate the liver, kidneys, bowels and blood, to correct acidity and wrong action of the etomaohe and to open the eluice.ways of the system to oar ry off all clogged and impure secretions, allowing nature thns to aid recovery and remove without fail bad blood, Tiger com- plaint, billioueness, dyspepaia, sick head- ache, dropsy, rheumatism, and every apeies of diseose arising from disorder of the liver, kidneys, bowels, stomach and blood.
