Mc. tof the consumption which de ci.nates the human family has its origin directly in tins scrofulous contamination; and many tie.: i a live dism s of the liver, kidney?, brain, a.u, indeed, of all the organs, ariso from or are aggravated by the same cause. U c quarter of all our people are scrofulous; th.ir :. us are invaded by this luiking in f, boii. and tlicir lu alth is undermined by it. 'i i leanse it from the sy>tem we must renovate the i 1 'ml by an alterative medicine, and in vi: rate it by healthy food and exercise. .Such a medicine we supply in AVER'S Compound Extract of Sarsaparilla, the most effectual remedy which the medical * hi of our times can devise for this every wh re prevailing and fatal malady. It is com bined from the most active rcmedials that have been di covered for tho expurgation of this foul di-.,r,ler frmn the blood, and the rescue of the \:n from its destructive consequences. Hence it should le employed for the cure of not only scrofula, but also these other affec tio' s \v!ii h arise from it, suc-li as Enrravs and .SKIN DISEASES, ST.

'l"he popular belief in " i.hjmrity of the blood" is founded in truth, fer scrofula is a degeneration of the blood. The particular purpose and virtue of this Sarsapa rilla is to purify and regenerate this vital fluid, without which sound health ii impossible in contaminated constitutions. Ayer's Cathartic Pills, FOR AIL THE PURPOSES CF A FAMILY PHYSIO, •re ■:!> compoied that disease within the range of their action can rarely withstand or evade them Their penetrating properties search, and cleanse, and invigorate every portion of the human organ ism, correcting its diseased action, and restoring its healthy vitalities. As a cer.sequencc of these properties, the invalid who is bowed down with pain or physical debility is astonished to find his health or energy restored by a remedy at once so simple and inviting. Not only do they cure the erery-day complaints of every tody, but also many formidable and dangerous diseases.

So wide is the field of its usefulness and so nu merous are the cases of its cures, that almost every section of country abounds in persons pub licly known, who have been restored from alarming snd even desperate diseases of the lungs by its uve. When once tried, its superiority over every 0 her medicine of its kind is too apparent to escape 01 lervation, and where its virtues are known, the public no longer hesitate what antidote to employ for the distressing and dangerous affections of the puhnon: ry organs that are incident to our climate. While many inferior remedies thrust upon the crmnmmtv hive failed and been discarded, this has gained friends by every trial, conferred benefits on the min ted they can never forget, and pro duced cures too numerous and too remarkable to be forgotten.
