we make tMm following1 propositions t
1st. For every certificate of cure published by us, which is not a genuine
copy of, or extract from, a letter, voluntarily written us by the person
whose signature is attached, we will forfeit the sum of One 'X'ilOU-
©and IttOll«3*® 9 to be paid to any public hospital mutually agreed upon.
Heretofore we have usually inserted in our Receipt Book many of such cer¬
tificates, but deeming it desirable this year to explain more at length the
nature of certain diseases and action of the proper medicines, we have inserted
but very few for want of space. Many certificates will be found in pamphlets
around bottles, and also in back numbers of the Receipt Book. When mak¬
ing inquiries by letter of the writers of these certificates, always inclose a two-
cent postage stamp, and this will doubtless insure a reply.
We would here respectfully ask all those who have experienced great benefit
from our medicines to state to us the facts, thus through us giving hope to
other sufferers.
2d. Upon a proper request, when we can be assured of the good faith of
the inquirer , by pC52*®©21 SS.1 reference or application, we will furnish a
correct list , showing the names of all ingredients of our medicines.
Neither of the above offers, we believe, was ever made by the proprietor ©£
m.y other Family Medicine in the world.

DR. TRASK was engaged for twenty years in a course of experiments
upon the medical properties and power of vegetables, separate and combined.
At the age of seventy years he succeeded in presenting to the world, as the
result of his experiments, a combination of vegetable extracts, the power of
which, in removing diseases, is unequalled in the annals of medicine. Gertain
it is that the remarkable and unprecedented success which has attended its
application in the cure of diseases stamps it at once as the greatest discovery
of the age, and calls for a trial and close investigation of its properties.
