These Powers possess conveniences and advantages pos
sessed by no other power.
EMERY'S NEW PATENT
THRESHER AND CLEANER
This a new Machine, and has not befoie been intro
duced into this region. It lias no endless chain straw
carrier, hut separates all kinds of grain thoroughly from 1
the straw, by a combination of Pitts" Endless Canvass j
Celled Apron, a new Improved Revolving Picker, and
the well known Vibrating Riddle. It is a simple,durable
and efficient Machine, will thresh rapidly and clean thor
oughly, without wasting, all kinds of grain. It will not
choke, run easily and steadily, without jumping, aud is
warranted to be superior to the common Rake Cleaner
now in use. It remains only to h<- seen and tested, to be
pronounced by every experienced hand at threshing, to
be an admirably contrived aud constructed Thresher aud
Cleaner.

Ayer's Sarsaparilla.
A COMPOUND REMEDY, designed to be the most ef
fectual Alterative that can be made. It i* a enn
ccntrated extractor I'aru Sarsaparilla, HO combined with
other MibetanceH ot still greater alterative (iuer as to
afford an effective antidote lor the diseases Sarsaparilla is
reputed to cure. It is believed that such a remedy is
want) d by those who suffer from Strumous complaints,
and that one which will accomplish their cuie most prove
ul immense service to this laige > lass ol our afflicted Id
low-citizens. How completely this cotjipouud ail] do it
has been proven by eX|ieriment on many of the worst
cases to be round ot the billowing complaints :

INDIGESTION. EKYSII'KI.AS, HOSE OU Sr. ANTHONY'S FIUK,
and indeed the whole class ol complaints arising from
IMPPRITY OF THE BLOOD.
This compound will la: round a great promoter of
health, when taken in the spring, to expel the loul hu
mors wnich fester in the blond at that seasoa ol the year.
By the timely expulsion if them many rankling disor
ders are nipped in the bud. Multitudes cau, by the aid
ot this remedy, spare themselves from the endurance ol
eruptions and ulcerous sores, through which the system
will strive to rid it-eft of corruptions, if not a-:-ieted to
do this through the natural channels of the Isidy by an
alterative medicine. Cleanse out the vitiated blood
whenever you find its impurities bur-ting through the
skin iu pbuphrs, eruption*, or sores ; cleanse it when you
find it is obstructed and shiggish it) the veins : cleanse it
believer it v. loul, and your leelings will tell you when.
Even where no particular disorder is lelt people enjoy
I belter health, and live longer, for cleansing the blood.
; Keep the blood healthy, and all is well; hut with this
pabulum ol lite disordered, there can lie no lasting health.
Sooner or later something must go wrong, end the grea
machinery of life is disordered or overthrown.
Sarsaparilla has, and deserves much, the reputation ot
accomplishing these ends. Hut the world has been egre
gioiisly deceived by preparations ot it, partly because
the drug alone has not all the virtue that is claimed lor
it. but more because many preparations, pretending to
lie concentrated extracts id it, contain but little of the
virtue of Sarsaparilla. or anything else.
During late years the public liavc been misled by large
Is,tile-, pretending to give a quart of Extract of Sarsa
parilla lor one dollar. Most of these have been frauds
upon the sick, lor they not only contain little, if any
Sarsaparilla, but often no curative properties whatever.
Hence, bitter and painful disappointment lias tollowed
the use ol the varions extracts of Sarsaparilla which
Hood the market, until the name itselt is justly de
spised, and has become synonymous with imposition and
cheat. Slid we call this compound Ssr>aparilia, and in
tend to supply such a remedy as stall rescue the name
from the load of obloquy whidh rests upon it. And we
think we have ground lor believing it lias virtues which
are irresistible by the ordinary run of the disease's it is
intended to cure. In order to secure their complete
I eradication In ni the system, the remedy should be judi
j ciously taken according to directions on the bottle.
