The Homier (if the Nineteenth Century. Important and oj great Consideration to the Suffering. T. A. HURLEY'S SARSAPAPiiCLA. Ol- all the remedies that have been discovered du ring the present age for the "thousand rtls that flesh is heir to" none equal this wonderful pie|iaration.— Only three years have elapsed since the discoverer (who spent a decade in studying, experimentalizing, and perfecting it) first introduced it to the public, anil it is already recognized, by the mosteminent physi cians in all parts of the country to be the most sur prising and effective remedy for certain Ureases of which they have knowledge. All other compounds or syrups of the root, have hitherto failed to command the sanction of the fac ulfy. because, on being tested, they have been found to contain noxious ingredients which neutralize the j good effects of the Sarsaparilla, and often times in jure the health of the patient. It is not so with Hurley's preparation. This is the pure and genuine extract of the root, and will on trial, be found to effect a certain and peft'ect cute of the following complaints and disea ses : Affections of the Bone-, Habitual Costiveness, Debility, indigeston, Diseases of the Kidneys, Liver Copiaints Dljpepsia, Piles, Erysipelas, Pulmonary Disease., Felnaie Irregularities, Scrofula or King's Evil, Fistula; Syphilis, And all Skin diseases. Besides curing the above, it is also known to be a great and powerful tonic, purifying the blood and in vigorating the system. In shott, it is, without exception, in the cases tnen ; tinned, and its general effect on the system, the most eflicacious as it is the most desirable remedy of the age. It is already extensively u-ed througb | out the country and is fast obtaining an European recitation. The instances of cures it has effected are daily coming to the proprietors knowledge, and hefiuis no hesitation in recommending it to one and all who de,ire to procure relief from suffering. One bottle being tried, it- effects will be too apparant to admit of further doubt. Recollect Hurley's Sarsaparilla is tlie oxi.y ct:x -uilk aktici.k in the market. Price §1 per bottle, or six for §5. byThis metlecine can be procured at all exten sive Drug houses, i July 4, 1850— ly*. DISSOLUTION.
