They cure Dyspepsia and Constipation, They cure Diarrhea, Cholera, and Cholera Morbus. They cure Liver Complaint and Nervous Head- ae They make the weak strong, the languid bril- iant, and are exhausted nature’s great restorer. ‘They are composed of the celebrated Calisaya bark, wintergreen, sassafras, roots and herbs, all preserved in perfectly pure St. Croix rum, For particulars, see circulars and testimonials around each bottle.
