Early Life of President Lincoln. — A. Boston
publishing Arm has just issued a handsome illustra
ted volume, written by. William M. Thayer, entitled,
« The Pioneer Boy, and how he became President.”
It is intended for young fo/ks, but may be read with
pleasure and instruction by their seniors. Mr.
Thayer, we are assured, has simply put together, irt
biographical form, the facts of Mr. Lincoln’s early
life, commencing with hiß first going to school at the
age of seven, and concluding with his election to
the Legislature of Illinois and his being oalled to
the bar. The,facts in this re cord have been collected
from various , personal and other reliable sources,
and are well put’ together. They show how a poor
lad, almost self-educated, and greatly self-reliant,
through povertyand privation to the
Ohief^ Mafe’stracy of this vast empire.'. This is a
; lesson to -M*. Thayer puts it before hiq
■readers in a very attractive manner. As the book
-'will find readers in abundance among the rising
generation, its style should have been carefully at
tendedto. Such a, phrase (p. 63) as "He could read
' some when he left school” is at once vulgar and un
grammatical, and it surprises us to find Mr. Thayer,
"Who can write well, employing such slip-slop lan
guage, reminding one of the “ says he” and “says
«he” of vulgarish parlance, as “ Says another ; of
i\im,” and “Says one who waß a’companion with
him.” These occur pp. 164 and 308. In a book des
tined to have a great circulation among young peo
ple, such slips aB these ought not have been per
mitted. Received from Lippincott & 00.
Eastern Tales.—James CJhallen & Son have
published a email volume of stories, which is adver
tised ae equal to » The Arabian Nights.” Of course,
this is a mere flourish, for no Oriental tales are equal
.to the delightful fictions which the charmingS.Ul
tanaof happy memory related to her bister and her.,
husband in the half hour before daybreak, on a
thousand-and-one successive occasions. The new
Eastern tales before,us aTe very readable, albeit not
quite Oriental. The story of Jupiter and Orion is
mythological; another tale has its scene in Ger
many; a third opens on the* summit of ,the Andes,
carries its hero to the moon, and finally drops him
into the Pacific. T,hc best tales here are those of
The Fool and the Doctor, the 'Wonderful Wand,
■Lowender, the Romantic, and Amoy, the Boaster.
This last is very good indeed. .
. Stories for Children.—To the American Sun
day-School Union, 1122 Chestnut street, must be
conceded the merit of publishing, every now and
then, capital books for young people. They are
well written, well printed, nicely illustrated, hand
somely bound, and low-priced. The latest issue is
“The Children of Blackberry Hollow Series,” con
sisting of six stories, eachmaking a separate little
book, and illustrating some principle of religion.
These really are stories, not sermons in disguise, and
precisely what will amuse as well as instruct young
folks. We hope to meet them in the hands, and in
the hearts, of many of our juvenile friends.
: Tax-Pater’s Manual.— D. Appleton & Oo.)
New York, have published in octavo, (pp. 14$ and
36,) the Tax-Payer’s Manual, containing the direct
and excise Tax-Bills of 1862 and 1863, with the re
cent decisions of the Commissioner of Internal Re
venue, copious marginal references, and two analy
tical indexes, showing all the many items of taxa
tion, the mode ot assessment and payment, and the
duties of the officers created by the new laws. This
Is the fullest, clearest, and best arranged of all the
publications purposing to show what the new and
general taxation is. The decisions on the Excise
Law will be found particularly useful. Received
from W.P. Hazard.
" Lulu, a Novel.— Carleton, the New York pub
lisher, has brought out a new novel, by Mansfield
T. "Walworth,entitled “Lulu; a TaleoftheNation
al Hotel Poisoning.” The'fact is that, in the spring
of 1867, on the eve of Mr. Buchanan’s assuming of
fice, as President, a number of residents in the Na
tional Hotel, Washington, were suddenly prostrated
fcy a mysterious illness, the cause of which remains
unascertained to this hour. Mr. Walworth does not
show any very refined taste in making a novel out
Of such an affliction. He sketches Washington life
With a pencil well charged with bold color, but there
5s little in his story, as a story, to interest the read
er. The concluding chapters are the best. Mr. Wal
worth’s besetting sin is the frequent introduction of
had punß, after the manner of Artemus Ward, into
his dialogue and into his narrative.
Mrs. Gaskell’s New Novel.— We are inclined
to think that “ Sylvia’s Lovers,” Mrs. Gaskell’B
last novel, is also her best. There was evident
ability in her preceding stories, particularly “ Mary
Barton” and li Ruth,” but there is a better plot,
With simpler interest, in the tale of Sylvia, with her
two lovers. Thiß is a tale of humble life. The
highest rank in it is that of a country shopkeeper.
But the Interest is entirely human, and the incidents
arise naturally out of each other. We warn the
leader that, the characters ail talking in the broad
Northumberland or Yorkshire dialect, it is not easy,
at first, to read what they say. That, however, was
objected to in the Waverley Novels, at first, where
the men and women spoke their own broad. Scotch.
The North-country dialect, however, is racy and
quaint, as will be Been from an advertisement of the
Comic Tyneside Almanac, published at Newcastle.
We take it from the Coleraine Chronicle, an Irish
paper of considerable talent:

“ The Scarlet Flower.” —This is a novel, from
the very productive pen of Pierce Egan, a London
author who probably writes by steam, so even and so
endless is the web of his fiction. It was originally pub
lished in the London Journal. We read it, as it ap
peared, in the New Yot'k Sunday Mercury , and it kept
our attention awake, from week to week, though it is
neither well written, nor has a shadow of probability.
The scene is in England, the time that when James I.
reigned, and the incidents are connected with the
Gunpowder Plot. It is published by Dick & Fitz
gerald, New York, and is sold here by T. B. Peter
son.
The Florida Exiles.— A. new edition of this
took, written by Joshua E. Giddings, has just been
published. It records an episode in our national
history, in which the United States pursued the
Maroons who had fled to Florida, then belonging to
s3pain, and relates the circumstances of the war
Which eventuated in the purchase of Florida and the
final settlement of the exiles in Mexico. These
events were the results of what is called the Semi
nole War-r-but really was a contest for the main
tenance of slavery.

In and Out the Concert-Saloons.—
The word concert-saloon is not always applied with
that perspicuity which should distinguish the use
•of epithets. Were the word drinking-saloon, it
might convey to some of the more innocent a juster
and more precise idea. He who, in innocent igno
rance, has never enjoyed the double benefit of con
cert and saloon; who has never been intoxicated
(bo ,to speak) with the influenoe of legs and the
action of liquor; who has never drank.in at the
epmo breath (as it were) the melody of song and a
mixture of sangaree— such an one may hope, how
ever, by a moderate amount of observation, to de-.
duoe a fair understanding of what these places are
like. He may put together the words “concert”
and “ saloon.”. He knows the legitimate meaning
of each. From every visible accompaniment he de
duces’the degen£raoy of their present application.
He intuitively feels that suoh persons and such
placeß are no lit associations for the pure and honest
heartelQ.
This city owns a number of this sort of public
amusements. The principal of them are, of course,
along the principal streetß. Those whose claims to
talent and respectability are self-oonfesaedly weak
est, and which are adapted to the scum, rather than
the scurf of the city, seek secluded and less central
paths. Ho good man couldpossibly make the round
of these more than once with the expectation of en
joyment; not once with the realization of it; never
without the sacrifice of some self-esteem. ‘ Not tfcpjj
in such establishments it is an invariable ru* e that
vile thoughts, and words, arid deeds.&rfe made the
order of the “entertainment.” In the least disre
putable some songs are popular, and not indecent.
But the principle of the management generally is
to pander to the want of principle. Among the au
ditory is one class, which suggests commiseration; if
not sympathy and charity, if not respeot. The ado
lescentiac who line the galleries furnish very indi
gestible food for reflection. They like dancing and
singing, or. something, which goes with them for
that. They eDjoy especially a song with plenty of
chorus, and a fandango with plenty of legß.
Some of the candidates for public patronage have
reputations as small as their own waists, and cha
racters lower than their own low-necked dresses,'
The gallery-gods always insist on one or more en
cores. This is given mainly in the shape of whistles,
the instrumentation of the teeth and fingers being
used.. These gallery-gods, likewise, have generally
light heads and heavy heelß. For the accommoda
tion of the latter it iB advisable that particular atten
• tiori Bhould be devoted to the durability of the
gallery-floors. The amount of wind manufactured
in whistling, and the imminent danger of extinguish
ing thereby the flickering gas-jets, may perhaps ac
count for the very economical apportionment of light
among the galleries, and, indeed, everywhere but on
the stage. But gas is said to be a beautifier, and
perhaps there it is most needed. If there were merit
in the performances—if a single one of the fine arts
contributed an iota to sustain them—the man ; of
taste might plead this little in their favor. As a
rule, however, there is no merit. Some of the
dancing is just acceptable; one or two of the songs
are tolerable—that is all. The studied grossneas of
word and look and gesture is intolerable.
The Continental Theatre, Walnut street, above
Eighth, is one of these places. In point of size, it
may be considered as holding a first-class" position.
In point of profanity and filthiness, it is not second
rate. At this establishment every possible.variety
of entertainment is promised. If some of this va
riety of entertainment were fmpossible, the mutual
exposure of moral degradation by both actor and
audience would also be impossible. Ballet and bur
lesque, pantomime, extravaganza, negro minstrelsy,
etc., may be so presented to a public as to be placed
beyond-the pale of censure. They may evince a true
principle of art, in caricature, perhaps, but free at
least from impurity. But any entertainment which '
is made a covert for profanity, and a substitute for
filth, is to be unequivocally condemned. The
Continental Theatre furnishes an entertainment
which partakes of this nature. Some of the songs
are so framed as to compress in a certain quantity of
doggrel space the maximum of dirtiness and blas
phemy, the minimum of sense and wit. The rhymes
are so constructed as to. inevitably suggest to the
dullest understanding (the quickest sometimes in
such*things aB these), the vulgarest words in the
language. Another word is : substituted, which
agrees, in the firßt one or two letters, with the word
for which it is used/ These foul productions are re
ceived as wit. The creature who sings them is
honored with two or three oticom, and applauded
with a volley of whißtles. Judge what the effect
must be upon every mind—that of man; woman, and
child present. The men and the women were those
before and behind the curtain —performers, audience,
waiter-girls, &c. The children were the lads up in
the gallery and scattered through the body of the
building, and those employed in a capacity which
seemed analogous to that of the waiter-girls.
Fox’s Casino, Chestnut street, above Sixth, like
wise comes under that. category of amusements
which has been referred to.' If the chance visitor at
this place were conscientious, the impression left on
him. by his visit would probably not be so disgusting
aB that produced by a chance visit at the other esta-,
bliehment. Here, however, prevails the same great
objection which prevails at the other, and in thoss
places generally known.as concert-saloons. The
waiter-girl system is in full force. In look, dress,
and behavior, many of these are not so repulsive as
they might very naturally be expected to be. The
unprejudiced are willing to believe that some mana
gers endeavor to maintain as email a degree of im
propriety as the essential tone of Buch an institution
will admit of. But the opportunities which are
made, and -which present" themselves, of rendering
one of the lowest forms of sensualism subservient io
time and place, are used, it cannot be doubted, with
some avidity and success. Lewd innuendoes and
disgusting songs do not seem to be the order at this
establishment, nor at all establishments. But 1
enough can be seen and heard at one and all to sicken
at a single visit the man of taste and honest feeling
with thorough-bred disgust.
To dilate upon and detail the entertainments at
each fand all of these places would neither be com
plimentary to their proprietors, nor respectful to the
reader. The quality of the performance is very poor,
and the quantity exceedingly munificent.. It is like
a scrap of strong butter scraped over a thick slice of
black bread. Both the quantity and quality can he
estimated by the price of admission. This varies
very considerably, and in itself is an item cl curiosi
ty. Plenty of gaslight in front, and a modicum of it
behind j glaring hyperbolic play*bills, crowded with
gems and studded with stars; a bar with every variety
of liquors (and its varieties)—all, all these may be en
joyed in various degrees—from a pabulum of from
five, cents to five dollars—more or less. Floricul
ture iB rendered accessory to such entertainments.
The throwing of bouquets is epidemic. The bouquets
themselves are stale, and cheap of price. The crea
tures who receive them are sometimes both. The
concert-saloons, as a"rule, are an undisguisable evil.
They evince a vicious taste in that portion of the
community which patronizes, and in that ? portion
which thus seeks patronage. The places which have
been mentioned are not the only ones which might
be named. They claim a first-class position, how
ever, and “have their claims allowed.” Others,
still lower and more degraded, might be designated.
The objectfofthis article, however, is not to thorough
ly Bicken Ihe reader. The nausea produced from a
too continuous and minute inspection of suffering
and sin iB not speedily counteracted by a pleasant
reaction. The efforts of the Mayor of Philadelphia
in this direction are full of intelligence and the
purest benevolence. The good of not one, but of
every one, is sought after. A conscienceless evil is
sought to be remedied. To expose such, and to
argue against it, may elicit the rancor of its parti
sans; but it also inviteß the . discrimination of the
intelligent, the pure-hearted, and the resolute.
K’ORTUERN COPPERHEADS AND SOUTHERN .
Rebels.— On ‘Wednesday a body of rebels 4 were
sent on the steamboat Major Reybold, from Tennes-:
see to Fort Delaware. A Philadelphia Copperhead
somehow managed, before the boat started, to get
acquainted with a rebel major. The obsequious at
tention of the Copperhead does not appear to have
been reciprocated Dy the prisoner to whom it was
vocal contempt. He denounced him as a sneaking,
miserable traitor, a sympathizer with the undis
guised enemies of the Government, to which, while
under its protection, he owed ..at least fidelity.. He
further expressed astonishment that the North, and
that the Government, should tolerate creatures
;which the South did not and would not tolerate.
One would think that comments such as these, from
the lips of rebel soldiers, would breed indigestion
. when swallowed by the Northern" Copperheads .who
suggest them. . • V-.. • '
Personal.—The, “ Chicago : Board;, 1 of
Trade,”, at its last annual meeting, elected Col. John
Fan* Beaty, late of-this city, its secretary. The
Chicago Press, in speaking of the election, says that
“ Though Col. Beaty was comparatively a stranger,
his fitness for the position was such that the , asso
ciation is tobe congratulated on its choice.” Col.
Beaty-was formerly General Agent of the Reading
Railroad,- and his popularity with shippers, dealers,
and: others, who had business with that concern,
was unbounded, and many were the regrets express
ed ait his withdrawal. The ** Board of Trade,” of
Chicago, is one of the levers in developing the re
sources and importance of the great west. In the
hands ot its new secretary this city will possess a
friend who will, at, all times, take a pleasure and
pride in pointing out itja manifold advantages to
shippers of and dealers in Western produce..
United States Bonded Warehouse.--
,We are permitted,, by the kindness of the store
keeper in.ohargeofithe-'Criiited States bonded stores,
Eront andXiOinbafd streets, to present a view of the
partial workings of this branch of the revenue ser
vice. The following are the amounts of goods re
ceived in this warehouse for the fiscal year ending
April ljf 1863: The amount of sugar, molasses, honey.
Ac., received was 10,272 hogsheads, 833 tierces, and
1,275 barrels,' &c.; coffee, cocoa, &c., amounted to
2,883 bags; the dry goods to 616 packages; the.liqnors
amounted to 1,318 casks, and the hides, fish, tar, Ac.,
to 667 packages.
BooTMAKERS\STRncE.~The journeymen
bootmakers are now returning to .ihose .establish
ments where the employers have; yielded to the de
mands of the workers for increased wages.- Every
body knows - that shoe-leather is at present some
what costly. Nine 'ahd-twelve dollars per pair are :
pow given for fine boots. The tax on manufactu
ring, the advance'-in the’cost of materials, and also
'he increase in theiwages of journeymen, may be
tfttuyi aa the unavoidable causes of this advance.
A Oa-lt, Received.—A call lias been re

The committee to whom was referred the resolution
relative to the printing of Journal, reported a resolution
discharging the committee from any further considera
tion of the subject. :The original resolution directed the
clerks to award the contract for the same to the lowest
bidder.
. Mr. Davis said it was singular that the committee re
fused to advertise for proposals, and give the printing to
the lowest bidder. The clerk of the Chamber had tafcen
the printing away from a firm, without any authority to
do to being granted. . This,'thespeabei*considered, was
the same as the clerk declaring himself the superior and
ruler of Councils. The Chamlfer passed a resolution,in
1f59, instructing the clerk to give the printing to Crissey
& Markley, and it was a great assumption on his part lo
tak> the printing away from them. The speaker de
nounced the conduct of the Committee on Supplies in
strong terms. He thought it was their duty to advertise
for proposals, and thus effect a great saving to the city.
Mr.’iZANJßjChairmanfol'the Commit ee,said the reasonihey
did not advertise, was simply because it was uot in ac
cordance with the ordinance passed in. 1559, giving the
charge of the printing to Councils -
Mr. Wktbertll said he never knew a clerk of Conn
cils yet to deviate from the wishes of the Chamber. He
believed they had a right to instruct their clerk, as to his
duties.
The Cjiatr stated that'he thought, according to the
ordinance of 1553, the printing was under tbeldirection of
the clerk, and could not be interfered with, unless the
ordinance in question was repealed.
The committee were accordingly discharged from any
farther consideration of the subject.
The Twenty-fourth Ward Contested-Elec
tlou Case*
The Twenty-fourth .ward contested-election was now
called up.
Mr. Wetheiull moved that the minority report be
read. ■
Dr. Kamerly said he wished to. establish a matter of
consistency so far as he was concerned. He believed
that the majority report was final and conclusive, and
the Chamber was bound: to receive it. The act of As
sembly prescribes the method by which contested seats
shall be decided. From the body that makes this law
we obtain our authority to act. The law says you shall
perform a certain duty, which is imperative. The report
comes before u?, a majority report,-'as a matter of right
and acceptance.- It comes as a truth, and, he contended,
as soon as read was accepted. The minority. report
simply conies before the Chamber by consent—by a vote.
The presentation of a minority, report, he contended,
was a- gross infringement of the rights of the citizens of
Philadelphia. He believed that by voting not to re
ceive the minority report he merely acted in accordance
with the law. He believed it to be nnjust, illegal, and
not worthy the consideration of any member in the
Chamber.
Dr. Uhler urged the reading of the report, as it would
bring before the Chamber facts heretofore uakno wa.
The minority rfport, signed by three of the committee,
was then read. It sets forth that the investigation of the
petitioners was about to close, and a report, probably, to
be made in favor of the sitting member, when the Mceser
case was decided ! n the courts. This, the chairman of the
committee contended, had an important bearing on the
case before them. What connection there was the mi
nority could not see. The counsel for the petitioners ar
gued, and the majority of the committee decided, that
the omission of the election officers to note on the list of
voters the names of all who are not on the assessors’ list,
some 370, the names of the vouchers produced, etc..
ma.de the votes of such voters prima facie illegal, and
throws the onus of proving their legality upon the par
ties contesting the seat. The practical effect of this was
to render it impossible, to ascertain for whom the majori
ty of legal votes were cast, and towhomtheseat of right
bOlongs.- The legal bearings in the case are ably con
sidered at length, and the minority disagree, particular
ly with the majority, in their right to disfranchise the
ward by declaring the seat vacant.
Mr. Wetoertll offered a resolution that the report of
the majority transcends the power and jurisdiction of that
committee, and be not accepted.
Dr.. Kamerly desired to know whether this resolution
was in order.
The Chair decided itwas.
Mr. BbigbtiiT argued at length in favor of the majority
report- •
Mr. Catherwood said, in the language of the resolu
tion, he thought the committee had transcended their
powers. The investigation of the committee, up to the time
of the decision in the Sfeeser case, was in favor of the
sitting member. He thought that the Meeser case had
no bearing on the present one whatever. This view
might not be acceptable to some, but be could not do a
wrong for the sake 6 (party. That the Twenty-fourth
ward should be disfranchised in the manner proposed
was utterly’absurd.
The speaker said there was no more occasion to go to
the Supreme Court to learn to count votes’thanthere was
to go to Jerusalem to learn’where our Saviour was buried.
He thought the election: of Mr. Miller.was more fully
shown in the report of the majority than in the report of
-the minority. .
Avotewas then taken on Mr.Wetherill’s motion not
to receive the majority report,which, passed by the fol
lowing vote: -
Teas—Messrs. Catherwood, Davis, Ginnodo, Greble,
Manuel, Miller, Paulling, Riche, Spering, Uhler, Wethe
rill, Zane, Lynd, President—l 3.
Rays—Messrs. Armstrong, -Baird, Barron, Brightly,
Harris, Kamerly, King, Marcus, McElroy, Nicholson,
Ricke 11 s,’Weaver—l2.
The Ocean Steamship Bill
was now taken up on final passage, and discussed at
length. The same arguments,pro and con, as advanced
at previous meetings, were again brought forward.
Mr.'Armstrong said he would favor a postponement
of the bill, as a committee of investigation were now in
session, and it is said some startling developments have
beenmade. Hewould like to hear the report of that
committee before he voted on the bill '
Miv Wetherill, as one of,the committee, saidhe be
lievcddhat it would be shown to the Chamber that im
proper measures had been used to secure the passage of
the bill. ■
During the debate, Mr. Wetherill asked of Dr. Ka
merly, who was favoring the bill, if it could be shown
that member's had been approached improperly to secure
their votes, would he vote against the bill ?
Dr. Kamerly answered, “Certainly not.”
Mr. Brightly also asked that, if it could be shown
that a ;member had been offered a certain number of
shares for his vote, would he (Dr. Kamerly) favor the
bill? .
He answered in the negative.
A motion to postpone and several amendments were
all voted down. ,
Mr. Ginnodo offered an amendment that the city
shall have at least one-representative iu the company,
who shall be elected annually by Councils. This was
agreed to by.all the members except Mr. Lynd, who
voted in the negative. ; .
Mr. Miller offered a further amendment, “ and pro
vided, also, that said earnings so assigned and set over
shall, from time to time, be forthwith invested in the
. loan of the city, and.whenthe guarantee herein provided
for shall be complied with, the amount of principal and
interest remaining shall be paid into tlieCityTreasury.”
Several other amendments were voted down. On a
motion to postpone the bill, only nine members voted.
There being no quorum, a motion to adjourn was made
and voted down.
The previous question was now. called, and the first
section of the billwas passed with tlie following vote:
Harris, Kamerly, McElroy, Nicholson, Paiitim, SspermgT -
Uhler, Weaver—l 2,
Nays—Messrs. Brightly, Davis, King, Manuel,. Mil
ler. Wetherill, Zane, Lynd, (president)—B,
On a motion to suspend the rules, and proceed to a third
reading, the vote stood 13 to 7, which, not being a two
third vote, the bill was laid over. .
Adjourned.

ACQUITTAL OP WM. 11. KERNS, LATE PROVOST MARSHAL
United States vs. Wm. H. Kerns. The defendant was
put on trial yesterday, on a charge of procuring and en
ticing Beverly Copes, an enlisted man in the 95th Regi
ment Pennsylvania Volunteers, to desert. The indict
ment is framed under the 17th teeth'n of the act of Janu
ary 11,1812. The case did not progress very far before
Judge Grier said that there was no case made out under
the law, and directed the jury to return a verdict of hot
Guilty, which they did.
, The evidence offered, showed that Copes, the sol
dier, came home on a furlough of seven days, from thB
2od to the 28th of .February. His health being bad, lie
desired to'geta discharge, and was induced to apply to
the defendant, who, after an interview, agreed to get it
for him for $5O. Copes consented to pay this amount,
and did pay it, as he testified, when the defendant, on
•the2Sthof February last, handed him what purported to
be a final discharge from the service The paper was a
regular blank for. discharges, and such as is generally
used, and bore the signature of Assistant Adiutant Gene
ral-Freese, of this post. He testified that his signature
to ihe discharge, as also his signature to a paper notify
ing the commanding officer of Cope’s company of his dis
charge, were forgeries.
Edward E. Young, a clerk in the Adjutant General’s
office, testified that he, at the solicitation of Kerns, gave
him a blank discharge, saying that he expected to get
$25 for it, and that he would give him (Young) liaif;
Youiig said he received from the defendant $lO. He also
testified that Adjutant General Freeses’ signatnre to the
discharge was written by himself, [witness,) and not
Kerns; lie did not know who. wrote the signature to the
leiter of notification.
At the time of this occurrence, Kerns was uot in the
United States service. This testimony, as before stated,
■was not considered by. the court sufficient to bring the
case within the act of Congress.

pURIFY THE BLOOD—iSTOT A FEW
A of the worst disorders that afflict mankind arise from
the corruption that accumulates in the blood. Of all the
discoveries that have be<n made to purge it out, none
have been found which could equal in effect AYER’S
COMPOUND EXTRACT OF SARSAPARILLA. If
cleanses and renovates the blood, instils the vigor of
health into the system, and purges out the humors which
make disease. It stimulates the healthy functions of
the body, and expels the disorders that grow and rankle
in the blood. Its extraordinary virtues are uot yet wide
ly known, but when they are, it will no. longer be a
question what; remedy to employ in the great variety of
afflicting diseases that requirs an alterative remedy.
Such a remedy, that could be relied on, has long been
sought for,, and now, for the first time, the public have
one on. which they can depend. Our snace here does not
admit certificates to show its effects, but the trial of a
single bottle will show to the sick that it has virtues sur
passing anything they have ever,taken; Sufferers from
Scrofula, Scrofulous Swellings and Sores, try it and see
the rapidity with which it cures. Skin Diseases, Pim
ples, Pustules, Blotches, Eruptions , Ac., are soon
cleaned out of the system.
St. Anthony’s Fire , Bose or Erysipelas , Tetter or
Salt Rheum , Scald Head, Ringworm, &c. , should not
be borne while they can be so speedily cured by Aysr’s
■ Sarsaparilla. • ' '
Syphilis or Venereal Disease is expelled from the
system by the prolonged use of this Sarsaparilla, and
the patient is left as healthy as if he had never haa the
disease. ' •
Female Diseases are caused by scrofula in the blood,
and are generally soon cured : by this EXTRACT OF
SARSAPARILLA. Price $1 per bottle, or six bottles
for $5. " . '
