JYOTESCO JYOTESCO. jyOTESCO Many people say, " How is it you claim that your medicines cure so many diseases." We answer :— In ancient times, when heathenism was rampant, people believed in a god for all good, and a god for all evil ; a god for joy, and a god for sorrow ; a god to give sickness, and a god to heal sickness. Jupiter ruled the land and Neptune ruled the sea. Ceres gave os agriculture, Venus gave us love, and Hebe youth. Now we have grown wiser ; we believe in one God only— whose word was power- ful enough to create EVERYTHING. IS it not possible for that same God to send us one remedy by which we shall cure most things 1 There are a great many locks, and to each lock is a key, but it is not every- one who can turn the key. Our " Notesco " is the key to open the doors. Applied externally, it works through the skin and reaches the disease. Taken internally a few times, the doors are opened, the disease escapes like a convict out of gaol, with the intention of never returning. Sickness is just like a burglar— it will steal in, either through a cold, dampness of the houses, adulterated food, or from the impure, foul air of crowded tenements, or sewer gas, from which we have to suffer, in this and other cities. The thief is inside; you can't get him out because the key don't fit. We now give you the true key. Our medicine is an enemy to corruption and pain. Any corruption it eats away, any pain it relieves at once. Try it. Be warned in time ; keep a stock of " Notesco " in the house. We claim our " Notesco " is superior to any medicine ever presented to the public, and we claim it with justice. .— NO MORE CONGESTION of the LUNGS. - NO MORE BRONCHITIS. .— NO MORE SORE THROATS. - NO MORE WHOOPING- COUGH. - FOR any kind of RHEUMATIC PAIN. — FOR LUMBAGO.
