cr's S a rsaparilia
A compound remedy, in which we have labored to pro
duce the moat effectual alterative that can be made.—
It is a concentrated extract of Para Sarsaparilla, so
combined with other substances of still greater alters
tive power as to afford an effective antidote for the dis
eases Sarsaparilla is reputed to cure. 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

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. In order to secure their
'complete eradiation from the system, they:l./Jody should
be judiciously taken according to directions on the bot

THE LEARNED PIG,
A sia'rcir FOUNDED ON DIRECT EVIDENCE,
Ned Clement was a traveling show
man of the olden time. 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

who could beat that? He went right
into the house arid asked the woman
--for there was 'no man about—if she

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

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,:

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

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.
"Molly," said he, "are you still 'a
pig ?", ..• . . : •
' 'The question was answered with a
grunt. - I
"Then I command you,by the,pow

after a lapse of a minute or two, plac

she commenceil singing a verse of a
song, which became_ fainter and faint

balloon was again removed, and - there
stood the pig, looking just as know
ing and saucy as if nothing. had oc
cured !, Ned dropped the curtain and
rushed the lady and the pig into his
room as the audieitce retired.
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.

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!
