MERCURY
WORSE THAN THE DISEASE
The effect of Mercury and Potash' are
worae than the effect, of Contagious
Blood Foiaon, for which thete minerals
are generally uaeif. They cannot cure
the disease, and in addition aet up a pois
on of their own, producing dyspepsia, by
drying np the gaatlic juices, salivation,
aorea, mercurial rneumattsm, and olten
necrosis of the bonea.
