It is believed that such a remedy is wanted by those who suffer front amnions complaints, and that one which will accom plish their onto most prove of immense service to this largo class of our afflicted fellow•eitinens. How com pletely this compound will do it but been proven by ex periment on many of the worst eases to be found of the following complaints: &MOSUL% AND SCROFELOUS CCMPLAINTS, ERUPTIONS AND Ettorrtve inee-tsce,_ DLCHRS, - rumva, ilLorenos, To- MORS, SALT II nmst, STAID DEAD, SIMMS AND SYPUILIT/C AFFECTIONS, MEICGURIAL DISEASE, DROPSY, NEURALGIA OR TIC DOVIOTIREHM, DEBILITY, DYSPEPSIA AND DIDIGESTroN, BUYSIPSILAS, ROSE OR ST. ANTHONY'S FIRE, and indeed the whole 01ILSS of complaints arising from IMPURITY or Tilt BLOOD, VHS COMDOGIVI will be found a great promoter of. health, when taken in the spring, to expel the foul hue more which tester in the blood at that t$C11.:301) of th year. By the timely expulsion of th i c.n, many rankling disorders are nipped in the bad. Multitudes can, by the aid of this remedy, spare themselves from the en durance of foul eruptions and ulcerous sores, throne, which the system will strive to rid itself of correptiorte, if not assisted to do this through the natural channels o' the body by an alterative medicine. Cleans out the vitiated blood whenever yon tint its impurities burst ing through the skin in pimples, eruptions, or sores; cleanse it when you find it is obstructed and singaish in the veins ; cleanse it whenever it is foul, and your feel ings will tell you whom Even where no purticblar OPet is felt, peopleenjoy better health, and live longer, tbr cleaning the blood. Keep the blood healthy, and all . is well ; but with thistabuinth of life disordered, there can be no lasting health. Sooner or later .sOmething must go wreng, and the great machinery of life is die. ordered or overthrown. . . _ Sarsaparilla has, and des,rv,s much, tharepuMtion, of accomplishing these ends. But the world has been egregiously deceived by preparations of it, partly ho mest, the drug alone has not all the virtue that is claim ed for it, but more because many preparations,--pretend ing to be concentrated extracts of it, contain but little virtue of Sarsaparilla, or anything else. During late years the public have been misled by large bottles, pretending to give a quart of extract of Sarsaparilla for one do.lar. Most of these have been french upon thosicky for they not only contain little, if any, Sarsaparilla, but often uo curative properties what ever. ' , fence, bitter and painful disappointment has followed the use of the various extfikts 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 obliquy which rests upon it.— And we think we have ground for believing it has vir tues which are irresistible by the ordinary run of the tlisea.ses it is intended to cure.

He ran the guantlet of the business, commencing with a cage of rattle snakes, Alba constrictor and a monkey, with which he followed a circus. It was worth double the price of admission to hear Ned in front of his little tent, lectur ing to a crowd of gaping countrymen upon the merits of his 'show.' Ile kept with the circus for `years--,in fact, until old age put a quietus tb his living curiosities—when he sold their hides to a taxidermist, and turn ed his attention to something else.— The.last tithe I saw him, he was ex hibiting a learned pig, to a set of Italian fantoixini, and 'swallowing a sword sixteen inches long.' In his career he was siihjeeted.to all the vi cissitudes of a strolling vagabond.— One day he was on the top round of success,"disbursing his money in a country bar room with the liberality of a western hog drover—next day he Was 'flatter than a flounder!. Ned, however, was a genuine philosopher, and could suffer 'the slings and ar rows of outrageous fortune,' to a cen i sitterable extent before he would 'take up arms against a sea of troubles ; but when he did so, he invariblywork ed. his way out, as he was full ofstrat acrein and invention. In the summer of 181 - , he made an unsuccessful country - excursion with a collection of figures in wax, 1 representing General Jackson, Napo leen Bonaparte, Queen Victoria, Wansley and Gibbs the pirates, Col- On&Iolinson killing Tecumseh, Po chationtas saving the life of Captain John Smith, Black :Hawk, and vari ous other prominent and distinguish- inffiVid Lulls whohad figured on the I pages of history. 'The business had I not been so very bad, but Ned had got married in the spring,. which aug i'mented his expeUse's considerably, fbr he waS fond of his wif, who was really- a beautiful and dutiful little we man, and upon whom he lavished money unsparingly. He reached the city late in the fad and determined, as was his custom, to lay by during the winter months; but how to do so, was what jest then puz i zled Ned Clement. He had very lit ' tic money, and he used to maintain that, however well a man might flour ish on a small supply of 'rhino' in the country, it would not operate in the city. No, sir; a man in the city without ‘spondulicB'was like unto a cat in perdition without claws I This was a very figurative, but neverthe less 'farci,ble ,observatiori. - Nod 'had only one 'resort that was to sell his wax figures, or `statteary, large as lifb and twice mi - acrid/and start out with something new in the spring. He sold his figures, and to pretty good advantage too ; there Were plenty of showmen eager to get them, for they never failed to pay wherever they were exhibited fbr the first time. Ned did :not part with them with regret either, for to tell the truth, his route required a new show —an entire change of programine his patrons having become tired of the everlasting sameness of the fig-,1 ores. Well, with a purse full of money, Nod and his Wife lived in clover; but he always had au eye single to busi ness. While looking round, for nov elties for the nest campaign, he roll in with a Frenchman who was 'fiat.' and from whom purchased thefan toecini for a mere trifle. For fifty cents and a cgincoektail; a superan nuated old showman learned him how to rush a long, smooth blade clown his trachea, which was set down as the remarkable feat of swallowing, a sword.' This was so much fey netit summer's operations—but there wins still bettor luck in store for Ned. One day, while :walking on the out- skirts of the .city, his attention was attracted to three Irish children play ing with a pig, before a hotel, ,Not, only was the pig a pecaliAr lO6king pig, but it played and frisked about with.the children like ayoungkitten. it answered to the name of 'Molly,' and when any of tho children called it by name, it trotted along like an obedient and . Nvell trained Lg. The oldest of the bOyS, noticing that Ned WAS Itdrniring the - pig, made her stand Up on her hind le , vs, and 'drink water froM a tincup. gal had an Here was a &Welty. A trained pig who could beat that? He went right into the house arid asked the woman --for there was 'no man about—if she would Sell her pig? 'lt it Molly, ye mane? Sure an' she's a house pig—a pet—an' it would break the children'S hearts intirelyto part wid her, fbr they haVe raised her, and schlet, wid her since She *AS no bigger nor a rat. But WS killed she must be when she's ould enough.' give you ten dollar's for her?' said Ned, 'and for that amennt can buy a full grown hog.' By this time the children hadgath end into the house, and as soon as they understood the nature of ,the man's proposition, they protested lead ly and earnestly Against the sale of Molly. This only made Ted the more eager to buy, and he determined not to leave without the pig, even if she cost him fifty - dollars. The woinan finally agreed to sell the porker for ten dollars, if Ned would compromise with the children . . He took them up town a short distance, and purchased. for each of the boys aroUndaboutand cap, and'for the little girl a checker• fiannel 'dress, and: nice bonnet, and a flair. Of shoes' for each of there.; and they agreed to let Molly go. Ned went back, paid the woman the money, and c..rried the pig home in triumph. H . :explained to his little wife what ailextraordinary animal he had secur4l, and how he. could train her to 134. a tremendous card in the country. :The wife was incredu lous, but she always made it .a point to let him gave his own way. Ned built a lace pen in one corner of his kitchen, and commenced sub jecting Mollyko . very severe lessons, at the rate Ab.... ve Or six a clay, al ways rewardi iyg her by, petting and giving, her a feed, of buttermilk and potatoes - (her favorite dish) when she understood him and executed his coin mands, but invaribly switched her when she would not learn, or when she behaved refractory. By these means she took'kindly to him, and it was not long before she understood him so well; and obeyed him so tacit ly, that it really;. seemed as :ifshe was governed by reason, instead of mere instinct. By spring she was Most 'thoroughly trained, when Ned pur chased a horse and wagon, loaded up his stock and fixtures, together with his Wife, and struck for the interior of ITennsylvania. Fora time his success was !gassing fair, and he made money; but he dribbled it all away with his usual ex travagance' in high living, expensive dresses fbr his little wife, flashy cloth ing for iii.4l - I§o,lf, filiti 'Whiskey for the crowd.' Atlength however he g.: of bad streak, and it clung toliim for a long time. He got into the German counties of the State just in theriddst of harvest, when everybody was hur ried froM the dawn of day till. night !.fall, at which time everybody was fir ed enouzli to go to bed, regardless of any such attractions as learned pigs. ;Ned werried.along in the hopes of . a I better time corning, although he was I not making eXpenses. To acid to his misfortunes, he upset his wagon one i day, by which accident his wife was SO . badlv bruised that he had to leave ~, her in charge of a. physician - .in the next village, while he made a circuit of . several Villages, to which he had already forwarded bills for perform ances at stated periods. One line summer morning, Ned'S neat wagon made its entree into the ancient village of Logtown, as per • bills of the day, followed by a do.teii: 'truant schoolboys. The box contain- ' ink , the learned pit , - was carefully ml loaded n pit,- was at the door of thp . .Principal tavern ; and divers queerlooking cur ; tains, and singular shaped trunks, were carried . in. When all this was done, Ned hastened to the post office, where there was a letter awaiting him from his wife. It contained the Brat- ' rr ifyin intelligence that she was cen -0 • Vhleseent, and ready to travel. In his i abSence it vas remarked about the tavern that the showman was mighty careful of his pig, as he had taken it to his room ireniediately on his arriv i al, and placed it tinder lock and key. Well, evening came, and Ned lit up the room, took his fiddle, and rasped away at the "Fisher's Hornpipe," "Money Most," and various other old style tunes, before he Was disturbed biy the entrance of a customer, who was followed by a few other strag patronso i=, olinw show who had the bump of marvellousneSs largely developed. Ned fiddled at the door, at the open window, and even at the head of the Stairs, where he made a terrifically el oquent speech to the Yockleswholin- oci the stairway; but all would not do —he was compelled to show to sik teen persons who had paid . a shilling each, and to about sixteen nl6re,.coin- prising the landlord's family and their relatives, who, as a matter Of - 6 - nyse, went in on the freeliV. . 711 . 0 :Opened ' the performanedS hy the Sword opera r.. tion, after which he exhibited thefun• toccinni. When . ;they were duly put through, he broit , rlat out a neat box, Set it oh the floor and drew a slide from the ton of it. 1 1 "Now , then, Miss Molly," said. the show man, "let us see thelight ofyour beitiitifhl countenance." The pig jumped out . ainl stood on the top of the box, facing the audi- ence. "You have forgotten your manners," said Ned. Molly made a profound bow. - lie next ordered her to jump on a chair. She did s6—theri over the back of the chair. She next leaped repeat edly over a pole, Walked on her hind legs, drank from a tin cup, waltzed, and finally played a game of "old sledge" with Ned, making high, low, jack and the game, ou the first band. But it is not neceesary to detail'all her ,wonderfal, and surprising performan ees; suffice it to say that she seerned to understand everything Ned said, answered him with*runts, and obey ed him in everything with, such alac rity as ahnost to induce thelielief that she was endowed with reason. "And now, Molly," continued Ned, "do me the favor to point out the best looking MID in the audience." She immediately went before the landlord, looked him in the face, and grunted. [Thin was One of Ned's sharp finan cialdOdgeS, 'Which never failed to cut down fu's bill': trifle.] , "Very goed--16* 1)61 out the ug liest Molly hunted around a moment, and then stopped in frOnt of black Trim, the hostler, and gave a tremen dous squealich, as in duty bound, raised a loud laugh, and concluded the performances:. AS the audience were leaving the room, an incredulous countryman, a regular Pennsylvania Dutchman, in drap home-sp.un, saidto a companion,: Ibillferd9mt sei 'wansell ein,saw as. ,Es'isaez irVu ;ea i s 'all und ehr is eel! hexamashter The literal translation ofthe above, which is written according to the id iom of its prontinciation, is, "I'll be 4—d if that is a pig ! It is his wife. She is 'a witch, and he is a wizzard ! Ned had traveled in Veurisylvimia long enough to be 'Ale tepiderstand the remark, and helaughed at'tkvei pleton. But while he was packing up, his. thoughts took anotherturn. The countryman's idea had giVen ,him a. cue, and he was working it out iii Ids mind. If only that people could be induced to believe that Molly is a witch, how she would draw, thought Ned. ge sat down upon one of his trunks in deep meditation for five min utes. At the end of that time he jumped up, declaring to himself that he "had it." He immediately locked np Molly in his room.; then went to the kitchen and Ordered a beefsteak, toast and coffee, fOr:his pies supper'. The cat4L3 were surprised, and _it was but a few Moments until the order Was known ciim the bar-roorii, Whic:ll Was pretty well filled with village'rs, and ep untrym en . Beefsteak,. toast and coffee kir a pig! The thing Naas absurd! The credulous wiseacres whispered and shook their heads ominously. There was something in that. While the pig's. supper was prepar ing, Ned'ealled the landlord to a pri vate conference in the parlor, the pur port of which will become apparent hereafter. The landlord returned to his bar with a broad grin oil his fea tures. 'ClentleinAl;:said be to the :crowd, showthan has just gone up with the supper for his pig. Ha few of you were to sneak up quiteiy andlist en, you might satisfy yourselves whether his pig is a watch.' . On this hint they all ascended the stairs except the wise Dutchman who brigimated the idea, who now deelar- - ed :there was no usein - eroi g up—that the witch could see them through the door just as if she was among then'. Ned had taken the precaution arrange Matters ,so. that no one. look in, even through the 'key hole; but the outsiders.eould hear the most ordinary noise made'in the room.-- Ned was no ventriloquist—more's the pity; but in working his puppets he had so trained _hirifselfto modulate liiB VOice'iliat he could give a tolera ble imitation of a woman talking.-- He commenced eating the supper hiniself, during which he kept up a running conversation. He propound ed questions in the natural key, and then answered them in a falsetto voice, using terms of endearment, and giving such imitations of kissing as to leave no doubts upon the minds of the outsiders that two persons were in the room. How could this be ? The showman brought no wo man with him The thing could, not be explained. The pig was a. witch —so thonght the listeners, and they withdrew, and Ned went to bed. Next morning, before breakfast, the faces in the case were known in every house in the village, and had also spread to the country, aud the excitement rose to fever heat. Ned had a bill, printed and posted up j jui nouneing that he would on thatbight appear as a magician, aniqt,Vie end of his regular, eXhibitiohhe would perform' the greate - st f*ltin the world; he would transforin his pig Molly in to a beautiful young woman, and then transfOrm the young woman into the pig lrollj again! 'Admission twenty live cents.' The town Was thrown into a terrible commotion': The know. ing ones set it down for a trick, but it carried out the witch idea of the superstitious to the letter. Evening .came, and the doors were not open more than. half an hour be fore the large ball-rooni was densely packed with people, 'anti. Ned had a cool 'fifty' in his pocket. Tie then fell to work, and went threnglk.his per formanees, including every thing the pig could do, and then dropped the curtain,. and retired to hisroorn which was immediately back of the, stage. The audience waited salong time for the grand magical transformation; in fact, until their patienee Was - almost exhausted—when , they became up roarious. - Ned went befere the cur tain and apologiied by stating that it took sonic time to get ready to per form the feat. At last., when some of the audienee were on the point of leaving, a hell tinkled and up went the ctirtain: On the, ,Middle of the stage stood a large dry good. box erect with muslin, evidently open be hind, and a high scaffold by the side of it. Ned made his appearance with Alolly in his arms, and set her on the pedestal. He then, took a hi'lgepa per balloon and :mounted the scaf fold. . , 'Ladies and gentlemen,' Ti ; Ned, 5y0.0i1l see .that, there stands My I I'i:remised to ti" ‘ 4 . nsferm :her into a beautiful y'eiing tv 6046 , and I will now do so.' He then. let down the balloon,which completely covered box and pig.

It is hardly necessary to inform the intelligent reader, that it was. Ned's Wife 'ivho aided in carrying but the plot. The landlord, who acted as a confederate f4r 'Ned, went after her, and explained the.iirojeet to her on the way.- The reason the audience were kept so long in waiting to. see trick, was their late arrival, during all of which time. Ned swore that he tilt as if he was roasting on a gridiron. Next morning, J cyan the:Wife, and Molly the pig, jook their breakfast thoi4o):6o , .'''!Abbnt nine o'clock the shoW - wagon was brought to the door and loaded.,, There were fully three hundred persons present, Who had collected to see whether he would take off' his wife in the shape of a woman or a pig.. The box was brought out acrid strapped on'top of the wag on—its accustothed place. Next Ned led Out his wile, Who looked as fresh and beautiftflas a newly hlown rose, evidently enjoying the ',joke ; Ned handed her up to the seat, mounted himself, and grasped the reins, ready to start. 'What's ter use of tat pox up ten, iiiit nossing in it?' said the llutchinan who had made the original discovery that the -pig was a witch. . 'Oh ! , yes--1. forgot,' said Ned; and drawing the lid of the box, he said,' 'Come out Molly.' The pig immediately got on the top Of the box. 'Now bin. the gezalOri who has'e come to see you off, good 'bye.' ;Molly nodded her head obsequiotts- . Jy,,a.nd then went irtto the box again. '.?efolly,' said "Ned--rand she cliatel'y stuck her head out of the hole. 'Molly, there are few places the size of this that contain. so many super stitions fools!' • The pig gave a squeal similar to one emitted by a grunter when he has a sharp knife inserted between his shoulders. Ned whipped up his horse and left in a hurry, and the denizens of Logtown who saw him then saw him no more forever! The crowd was 'sold;' every one felt ill, and left in a hurry,:except my original. Dutchman, who maintains to this day that the woman was a witch —that she possessed the power, there was nothing to prevent her from be ing a pig:and a woman. at one and the same time!
