I>r. Wurzer's Testimonial. 



" Bonn, July 19. 1852. 

 " Tills light and pleasant Farina is one of the 

 most excellent, nourishing, and restorative 

 remedies, and supersedes, in many cases, all 

 kinds of medicines. 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 whicli it counteracts efftctually 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. •' Dr. Rud Wcrzeh, 

 " Counsel of Medicine, and practical M.D. 

 in Bouu."

 gent Street, London. 



Important Caution. — Many invalids having 

 been seriously injured by spurious imitations 

 under closely similar names, such as ErVidenta, 

 Arabttca. and others, the public will do well to 

 see that each canister bears the name Barry, 

 Du Barry & Co., 77. Regent Street, London 

 in full, without which none is genuine.
