VEGETABLE REMEDIES.Ten years careful and untiring study of Botany, with its immediate relation to the vegetable "Materia Medical," enables me to offer to the sick, suffering and invalid public the benefits of such study, research and experience, in the way of remedies and cures, for many of the wills and ailments to which poor suffering humanity is heir. My medic are purely vegetable and entirely free from minerals of any kind. I believe that I have discovered and fully understand, the true and correct method of treating to a successful issue, the heretofore and almost universally pronounced incurable diseases of Dyspepsia, Constipation, Rheumatism, Asthma, Piles, &c. The remedies which I offer to the public have all been tried, and their efficacy and curing properties fully established beyond the peradventure of a doubt.

It is a well attested fact, that in almost every community there are scores of people who suffer almost unbearable misery from some chronic disease, which the family physician either has not the time to treat, or the minerals he prescribes are too powerful and strong to relieve or remedy. Such is not the case with the Botanic and Vegetable treatment which I recommend. My remedies are theCOMPOUND SYRUP OFSarsaparilla,The restorativeTONIC BITTERS,And the compoundINFUSION OF GOLDEN SEAL,Which is a health-restoring and life-prolonging tonic. This cordial is useful as a medicine in all cases of Dyspepsia, Constipation, Flatulency, Wind Colic, Headache, Sour Stomach, Derangement of the Liver and Kidneys.

00033

It operates effectually upon the Bowels, Biliary and Urinary organs, gives free and healthy action, is not a laxative affording only temporary relief, but a mild and reliable alterative and aperient, operating upon the mucous membrane of the Throat, Stomach, Bowels, Bladder and Intestinal Canal; eradicating disease from the system and insuring a substantial cure.

This remedy has cured Piles combined with constipation of twenty, years' standing, after hopes of final recovery had been almost abandoned.

It is also good for those convalescent, having a tendency, while operating on the secretions, to increase flesh; it also strengthens and hardens the muscles.

DOSE:-A tablespoonful 3 times a day. Children in proportion according to the exigency of the case.

My Infusion of Golden Seal has been in the market for nearly six years, and the success which has marked its progress is exceedingly gratifying. It has been used by thousands; none condemn it, and almost all commend it as a safe and reliable family medicine. It has not cured all that have used it; some cases would not yield, but all have been benefited, and many radical cures perfected. I was myself an invalid for more than twenty years; in fact I lost my health in the swamps at the South during the war. My trouble was Dyspepsia, Constipation, and Piles. I used all know remedies, and was treated by the physicians, and had almost despaired of recovery, when good fortune let me to the use of the Golden Seal, which completely restored my health. The following copies of some of the letters received by me in the course of business will explain themselves, and show that the Golden Seal has not been in the market in vain:

Dr. Johnson: Dec. 24, 1885.My wife having been a great suffer for years with Dyspepsia, and having been treated by several physicians, she obtained no relief and she tried your Infusion of Golden Seal and now she enjoys as good health as she did before she was afflicted, and I hereby heartily recommend the "Golden Seal" to all suffers from Dyspepsia.P. W. SEERY,60 Park Avenue, Albany, N. Y.

508 BROADWAY, ALBANY, N.Y., Dec. 25, 1885.I was 82 years old at my last birthday. A few years ago my health began to fail me. I commenced to take Dr. Johnson's "Golden Seal" and have taken it at intervals ever since. I find that it keeps my entire system in excellent condition. I am perfectly well to-day.LEAD STEWART.ALBANY, N.Y., Dec. 21, 1885.Dr. Johnson For ten years or more I was troubled with Constipation and Hemorrhoids, at times my sufferings were intense. This was especially the case during the pregnant period. I am the mother of five children. I tried, I thought, every thing. My family physician prescribed a different times something that gave temporary relief but the difficulty would return. Finally my husband urged me to try your remedy as a last resort; I hesitated. I had no confidence in it still to oblige him and because I was suffering greatly, I commenced using your "Golden Seal." The effect upon my system was wonderful, I like the taste of it as well as the effect. This was three years ago. I gradually grew better; my flesh increased. Then I weighed 102 pounds, now I turn the scales at 129 pounds. My youngest child is ten months old. I passed through that latter stage without any of the old trouble. I am as free from it to-day that I entertain no apprehension of its return. You can easily appreciate my thankfulness. Your "Compound Infusion of Golden Seal" is a wonderful medicine. Every married lady ought to be acquainted of any importance in the introduction of your discovery, you are at liberty to make use of it, but please omit my name as that will be of no importance.MRS. C.Saratoga Springs, N.Y. Aug 10, 1886.W.H. Johnson: Dear Sir-I am now satisfied that there is no humbug about your "Golden Seal." As I told you when I was in your city, I regarded my case as hopeless, my New York physician informed me that the only chance of my recovery lay in an operation, and that I would never consent to, regarding the remedy as worse than the disease. You know how reluctantly I consented to try your remedy, believing that the Piles, especially as I had them, could not be cured without local treatment, and that that was doubtful. However, I took the two bottles I got of you, and and strange as it does appear to me, I am as free from pain to-day as I ever was, and the tumors are gradually disappearing, my general health is greatly improving also. I shall go from here to Lake George and then to Niagara, on my way home I shall endeavor to stop over long enough to let you see my improved condition.S.R. PERRYSheriff's Office, Albany, N.Y.

I am coming to see you about my husband, he is sick all the time.MRS. WETSELL.

Dr. Johnson - I have been troubled with my Kidneys for years, I suffered great pain in voiding water, I scarcely slept forty minutes at a time during the night, I could neither hold or void my water without much pain. A severe ttack of Piles aggravated my suffering. Finally, I tried your "Golden Seal." It took old of my case at once. Now I can eat, sleep and work with pleasure. Your medicine did it.

Yours, truly,ASA P. THAYER,132 Second Street, Albany, N.Y.ALBANY, N.Y., Nov. 10, 1886.

Dr. Johnson: Dear Sir - I think it nothing more than just, that you should know how grateful I feel to you for the good your "Golden Seal" medicine did to my little baby boy. Last August he became very fretful and manifested great nervousness, he was very much constipated, a rash came on his face, and we could see that daily he was losing flesh. After trying almost everything else your "Golden Seal" was mentioned. My wife got a bottle. She gave it to the child in small doses. It had the desired effect, the difficulty was almost instantly overcome, and to-day the little fellow, thirteen months old, is as fat as butter.WALTER LEWIS,241 Lark Street.

Store Corner Broadway and Wilson Street, ALBANY, N. Y., Dec. 31, 1886.Dr. Johnson: Dear Sir - I want to sell your "Golden Seal" in my store. What is your wholesale price for it?

Green Island, July 19th, 1884.00088Mr. Johnson:Whilst father was using your medicine last fall for his complaint, my baby was teething: she was quite fretful, nothing that I gave her did any good. We finally thought that the trouble came from the stomach, and I tried the Golden Seal in teaspoonful doses, three times a day, with excellent effect. I want always to have it in the house. Enclosed find $1.00. Please send me a bottle. Send it by the brakeman on the 1 o'clock local to-morrow.Mrs. W.A.P.

National Express Office,Boston, Mass., Jan. 3d, 1885.}

Mr. Johnson:The medicine is working finely. I am much pleased with it. Send me two bottles at once, and one every month until you hear from me again.E.A. REYNOLDS.

Dr. Johnson:You were right; my Piles were caused by Indigestion and Constipation I have used many remedies for years to no effect. I have only taken five bottles of your "Golden Seal." My digestion is good, my bowels are regular, and the Piles have disappeared. A neighbor of ours, Mrs. H., has been ailing for a long time. Her case is a peculiar one, but I told her that your medicine would cure her if anything could. She will be in Albany to-morrow and you.JOHN P. FRENCH.Bath, July 9th, 1885.Dear Johnson. - From observation of the effect of your "Compound Infusion of Golden Seal" upon Dyspeptic Patients, and the readiness with which the disease - especially in the chronic form - yields, after the use of a few bottles, leads me to conclude that you are in possession of the long looked for panacea for this character of stubborn maladies, and that you do not too highly estimate its curing properties.

COMPOUNDInfusion of Golden SealCURESDYSPEPSIA, CONSTIPATION AND PILES.Descriptive History, Properties and Uses of the Golden Seal (Hydrastis Canadensis).

It is indigenous plant, which is also known by the various names of Yellow Puccoon, Ground Raspberry, Turmeric Root, etc.; it has a perennial root, or rhizoma, which is tortuous, knotty, creeping, internally of a bright-yellow color, with numerous long fibres. Stem erect, simple, herbaceous, rounded, pubescent upward, from six to twelve inches in height, becoming purplish, bearing two unequal terminal leaves. Leaves, two only, alternate, palmate, with from three to five lobes, hairy, dark-green, cordate at base, veiny, the lower leaf petiolate, the other sessile, from four to nine inches wide when full grown, the segments serrated. Flower, solitary, terminal, small, white or rose-colored, on a peduncle about two inches in length. Calyx consists of three petaloid, deciduous, broadly-ovate, pale greenish-white, concave, slightly downy sepals, which fall away when the flower opens. Stamens many, longer than the pistils, Filaments, flat, linearlanceolate, having the cells of an anther on their edge at the apex. Pistils, several. Ovary, oval, glabrous, attenuated upward into a short style. Stigma, obtuse, scarcely lobed. Fruit resembles a raspberry, red, consists of many little, two-seeded drupes collected into a globose head, each crowned with the persistent style. Seeds, nearly black, obovate, polished, having a minute embryo at the base of a fleshy and oily albumen.

This plant is found growing in shady wood, in rich soil and damp meadows, in different parts of the United States and Canada, but is more abundant west of the Alleghanies. It flowers in May and June. The root is the officinal part; it consists of a crooked, knotty, wrinkled rootstock, one or two inches long, giving off a number of yellow fibres. The root is of a beautiful yellow color, and when fresh is juicy, and much used by the Indians as a standard medicine. The root is a powerful tonic, at the same time exerting an especial influence upon mucous surfaces and tissues with which it comes in contact. Internally, it is successfully administered in dyspepsia, chronic affections of the mucous coats of the stomach and other organs, catarrhal affections, erysipelas, remittent, intermittent and typhoid fevers, torpor of the liver, and wherever tonics are required. In conjunction with extract of geranium it forms a very 001010efficient remedy in chronic diarrhoea and dysentery. Externally, and as a topical application, the decoction, or tincture, proves a superior remedy in all chronic mucous inflammations.-(K. D.) According to Mr. A. B. Durand, of Philadelphia, it consists of resin, starch, albumen, sugar, fatty matter, yellow coloring matter, several salts and a crystallizable body, which he named hydrastia(Am. Jour. Pharm., XXXV., 13). Mr. F. Mahla, of Chicago, Ill., has described it (Am. Jour. Pharm., Vol. XXXV., 1863, p. 433) as forming in brilliant white crystals belonging to the right prismatic system, having no taste, except in the form of salts, which are acid and bitter.

During my last illness Dr. R.E. Ferrey, then of this city, and now residing in St. Paul, Minnesota, my attending physician, suggested that Golden Seal might be advantageously used in the treatment of hemorrhoids. I acted upon the hint, experimented with the herb upon myself, compounded it with other herbs, and finally reached the result desired, and am now prepared to affirm, without fear of successful contradiction, that my Compound Infusion of Golden Seal will not only cure Dyspepsia and Constipation when in the most aggravated forms, but will completely cure and eradicate the Piles, when caused by organic disturbances, of however long standing. When hemorrhoids are causedby strains or by cold, my Pile Ointment will afford instantaneous relief and substantial cure.

This compound is anti-pill and non-nauseating, being pleasant to the taste and efficacious. In the composition and manufacturing of the compound none but the best and purest materials are used. Each bottle contains a pint. The bottles are rendered perfectly air-tight by the use of the best velvet corks, which are so arranged as to be easily removed andreplaced without being broken, which is often the case when corkscrew is brought into use. Accompanying each bottle will be an illustrated Journal bearing upon its face a facsimile representation of the Golden Seal as it grows, root, stem, leaf and flower. On the inside will be found a copy of the Medical Pamphlet, containing general details, Directions, Indorsements, etc., etc.; also a brief outline of the history, of properties and uses of this wonderful curative herb.PRICE, $1.00 per PINT BOTTLE.To be had of all druggists.W.M.H.

[From the Albany Press and Knickerbocker, Jan. 7, 1887.]William H. Johnson, of 27 Maiden lane, was an invalid for upwards of twenty years. His ailments were Dyspepsia, Constipation and Piles. From his natural weight of 175 pounds he was reduced to 115. Today he is able and hearty. Six years ago, in his search for health, he discovered a medical remedy that has proven of rare value. It cured him, and is now on the market meeting with great success. His "Blood Purifying Golden Seal" is well established as an infallible cure of Stomach and Blood diseases.

GOLDEN SEAL JOURNALOFINTERESTING FACTSANDBUSINESS DIRECTORYFROMThe Independent Citizen, Albany, Friday March 25, 1887. HEALTH IS KING

A valuable and timely discovery that promises to carry health and and happiness to many families has been made. Our Townsman, W. H. Johnson, suffered many years with dyspepsia, constipation and piles. Finally he was prostrated upon a sick bed. His case appeared hopeless. Among other things his physicians prescribed Hydrastis Canadensis for the dyspepsia. Its effects were beneficial and he grew better, but was not cured. It led him to experiment and investigate and in so doing he happily discovered an herb whose medical properties were hitherto unknown. He infused it with Golden Seal and tried it, and the result was a gratifying success. He had made a wonderful medical discovery. To-day his Blood-Purifying Golden Sealis not only curing Dyspepsia and Constipation, but is infallible in cases of Piles of what ever form.

John T. McDonough, counsellor at law, is the workingman's friend. Through the untiring efforts of Bishop Doane, we are to have a magnificent Episcopal Cathedral to cost $1,000,000.
