INTERESTING DISCOVERY. The American Government has instructed a noted analyst to examine and report upon certain mineral springs, which have been recently discovered to have an extraordinary curative effect in cases of rheumatism and other complaints. A voluminous report has been already laid before the recent Medical Congress, from which it would appear that most marvellous cures have been undoubtedly effected, and the investigation of the Government analyst is, therefore, looked forward to with great interest. Sequnh's Cure is composed of the carefully concentrated water of one of these springs, combined with certain botanic extracts, ttnd is therefore a natural, safe, and effectual remedy for all kinds of rheumatism, sciatica, lumbago, kidney disease, pains in the back, and dropsy. It also cures indigestion, biliousness, and constipation. The result of this remedy, when used in conjunction with Sequah's Oil,[has been so remarkable as to have occasioned coa j siderahle public interest.—[Advt.]
