It is a Foolish Mistake to confound a 

 remedy of merit with the quack med- 

 icines now so common. We have 

 used Parker's Ginger Tonic with the 

 happiest results for Rheumatism and 

 Dyspepsia, and when worn out by 

 overwork, and know it to be a sterling 

 health restorative.— Times. See adv.
