Dr. Wurzer's Testimonial. 



" Bonn, July 19. 1852. 



" This light and pleasant Farina is one of the 

 most excellent, nourishing, and restorative 

 remedies, and supersedes, in many coses, all 

 kinds of medicines. It is particularly useful 

 in confined habit of body, as also diarrhoea, 

 bowel complaints, affections of the kidneys ana 

 blodder,such as stone or gravel ; inflammatory 

 irritation and cramp of the urethro. cramp or 

 the kidneys and bladder, strictures, and hemor- 

 rhoids. 'Jhis really Invaluable remedy is em- 

 ployed with the most satisfactory result, not 

 only in bronchial and pulmonary complaints, 

 where irritation and pain are to be removed, 

 but also in pulmonary and bronchial consump- 

 tion, in which it counteracts effectually the 

 troublesome cough; and I am en bled with 

 perfect truth to express the conviction that Du 

 Barry's Revalenta Arabica is adapted to the 

 cure of incipient hectic complaints and con- 

 sumption. ,.".^''' ^j° .'-"^f "It r,
