 these lines. — Stuart de Decies."

 able agony from dyspepsia,nervousness, asthma, 

 ccugh, constipation, flatulency, spasms, sick- 

 ness at the stomach, and vomiiings have been

Dr. Wurzer's Testimonial. 



"Bonn, July 19. 1852. 

 "This light and pleasarit Farina is one of the 

 most excellent, nourishing, and restorative 

 remedies, and_ supersedes, in many cases, all 

 kinds of mtdicines. It is particularly useful 

 in confined habit'of body, as also diarrhoea, 

 bowel complaints, affections of the kidneys and 

 bladder, such as stone or gravel ; inflammatory 

 irritation and cramp of the urethra, cramp of 

 the kidneys and bladder, strictures, and hemor- 

 rhoids. This 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 enabled with 

 perfect truth to express the conviction that Du 

 Barry's Revalenta Arabica is adapted to tlie 

 cure of incipient hectic complaints and con- 

 sumption. " Dr. Run WURZER, 



" Counsel of Medicine, and practical M.D. 

 in Bonn."
