PROSPECTUS
or
THE NEW YORK LEDGER.
\Ye intend to moke the NEW-YORK LEDGER
for 1861 superior to that ot any other year in tho
]>at. Among our contributors will be the Presi
dent of the Unitvl States, Edward Everett, Geo.
Bancroft, William Callea Bryant. John G. Saxe,
George P. Morris, N. P. Willis, George D. Pren
tiCe, Thomas Dunn English, Syivanua Cobb, Jr.,
Emerson Bennett, T. S. Arthur, P. Hamilton My
ers, Col. Walter B. Danlap, S. Cotnpton Smith,
John Esten Cooke. Mrs. Sigourney, Mrs. Soulb
worth, Fanny Fern, Anna Cora Ritchie, Alice
Citry, Mary Forrest, Marion Uarhtnd, Miss E. A.
lhipuv, Mary Stanley Gibson, Phcbo Gary, and
many Clergymen, Professors in Colleges, States
men, and other eminent writers residing in different
parts of the Union.
Our corps of contributors for the citing year
will be so large, and will embrace such a variety
of eminent talent, that every department of litera
ture will receive the particular attention of some
one competent to do it ample and sj ecial justice.
Whether it ba popular romance scientific essay,
historical sketch, scholastic disquisition, spicy
paragraph, pathetic baiiad. humorous poem, old
fashioned love story, timely editorial, or any other
ingredient of papular and elevated journalism,
that is to be furnished, tho LEDGER corps will lie
sufficient for the task. In fact, our contributors
will send ns front weak to weak much more matter
than we! can use, so that we shall always have
a fresh and superabundant supply, from which to
select rue VERT BEST. Thisc facts, taken in con.
nection with our Jaigely increased means, facilities,
and experience, warrant lis, we think, in promising
our readers a f.imi'y paper for the year 1861 which
will be inure interesting cud it structive, and in
every respect more valuable, even than the LEDG
ER has been in-tbe past;
As an indication of the popularitv of the LEI'G
EHf, we neod only state tho simple fact tiiat its
circulation is larger than that of any other TES
literary papers in the country. Its great success
is owing to the fact thai we secure the best writers
iu the country, and"spare no expense in getting up
the BEST FAMILY PAPER — a paper of high moral
tone. The exalted reputation of its contributors,
the practical and invariably pure and healthy
character of all its articles, the cire which is isknn
that not even one offensive word shall appear in
its columns, and the superiority of its Talcs and
Sketches, have gained for the NEW-YORK
LEDGER a position that no literary paper bus
ever before reached.
—Ass A CORA RITCHIE of Richmond, Va., and
Col. WALTER B. DUNLAP, the author of ih ' popu
lar "Forest Sketches," which were published in
our columns some ttrae since, will each begin a
story in the LEDGER early in the new year. Mrs.
SOUTH WORTH is also engaged upon a new tale.
- In the next number of the LEDGER, we shall
publish a very interesting article, written
for our columns, entitled, A DAY WITH LORD BI
RON, from the pen of the Hon. George Bancroft.
—lt is with much s* that wo announce
that Mr. EVERETT will continue his elegant and in
tcresiing contributions to the LEDGER during the
next year.
As this is the season of the year when Post
masters and others are iu the habit of forming
clubs, we direct their particular attention to

Pncr. O. J. WOOD : Dear Sir :—ln the litter part
of the year 1812, while attending *tbe State and
National Law of tho State of New York,
my hair, from a cause unknown to me, commenced
falling off very rapidly, so that >u the short space
of six months, the whole upper part of my scalp
was almost entirely bere/t of its covering, and much
of the rem lining portion upon the side and back
part of ruy head shortly after became gray, so thu
you will not be surprised when 1 tell you that upon
my return to the Suite of Indiana, my more casual
acqeu.mances were not so much at a loss to dis
cover the cause of tho change in my appearance,
as my more intimate acquaintances were to recog
h'za me at all.
I at once made application to the most skillful
physicians in the country, but receiving no as
surance from them that uiy hair coul.i again be ro
stoiod, I was forced to become reconciled to my
I ite, until, fortunately, in tho latter part of the
year 1857, your Restorative was recommended to
me by a druggist, as l>eing tha most reliable Hair
liivstorative in uso. I tried one bottle, and found
to my great satisfaction that it was producing' the
desired effect. Since that time, I have used seven
dollars' woith of your Restorative, and as a resu<t,
have a rich ed it of very soft black L air, which no
money can buy.
As a mark of tr.y gratitude for your labor and
skill in the production of so wonderful an article,
I have recommended its uso to many of my friends
and acquaintances, who,' I am happy to inform you,
are Using it with like effect.
Very respectfully, yours,

Ayer's Sarsa pari! In
A compound remedy, k whiib WO '-r.-c la
bored to produce the mo:t effectual alterative
that can be made. It is a concentrated o \tract
of Para Sarsnparilla, to combine I with other
substances of still greater Alterative power iia
to afford an effective antidote for the diseases
Sarsaparilla is reputed to cure. It j* believed
that such a remedy is wanted by thorn who
snttev from Strumous complaints, and that one
which will accomplish their cure mutt prove
of immense service to this large class of our
aiil eted fellow-citizens. How completely this
compound will uo it lias been proven by exper
irr. *.! on many of the worst cases to be found
el' the following complaints:

This compound will ho found R went pro
moter of health, when taken in th? spring, to
expel the foul humors which fester in the
bliKid at that season of the year. By the time
ly expulsion of ihem many rankling disorders
are nipped in the bud. Multitudes can, by
th? aid of this remedy, spare themselves from
the endurance of foul eruptions and ulcerous
SOTC3, through which the system will strive to
rid itself of corruptions, if not assisted to do
this through the natural channels of the body
by ari alterative medicine. Cleanse out tlie
yi tinted blood whenever you find its impurities
bursting through the skin in pimples, eruptions,
or sores; cleanse it when you find it is ob
structed and sluggish in the veins; cleanse it
wlr never it is foul, and your feelings will tell
you when. Even where no particular disorder
b felt, people enjoy better health, and live
longer, for cleansing the bloody Keep the
blood healthy, and ell is well; but with this
pabulum of life disordered, there car. be no
lasting health. Sooner or later something
must go wrong, and the great machinery of
life is disordered or overthrown.
Sarsapavslla has, and deserves much, the
reputation, of accomplishing these enos. But
the world has been egregiously deceived by
preparations of it, partly because the drug
alone has not all the virtue that is claimed
for it, but more because many preparations,
pretending to be conc-entrr.ted extracts o: it,
contain but little of the virtue of Sarsaparilla,
or any thing else.
During late years the public have been mis
led by large bottles, pretending to give a quart
of Extract of Sin sepurilla for one dollar. Most
of these have ia>ta frauds upon the sick, for
they ret otuy contain little, if any, Baisapn
rilla, but often no curative properties whatev
er. Hence, bitter and painful disappointment
has followed the use of the various extracts of
Sarsaparilla which flood the market, until the
name itself is justly despised, and has become
synonymous with imposition and cheat. Still
we call this compound Sarsaparilla, and intend
to supply such a remedy as shall rescue the
name from the load of clloquy wbgch rests
upon it. And we think we have ground for
believing it has virtues whifch are irresistible
by the ordinary inn of the diseases it is intend
ed to cure. In ordci to secure their complete
eradication from the system, the remedy should
be judiciously taken according to directions on
the bolt it?.
