Ayer's Sarsaparilla.
A COMPOUND REMEDY, in which we j
r\ have labored to produce the most effectual altera-!
ivc that can be made. It is a conceutYaU d extract of j
Para Sarsaparilla. so combined with other substances of
still greater altera t : ve portrtr as to attbrd an effective an
tidote lor the diseases Su'sapar.llu is reputed to cure, it '
is believed that such a remedy is wanted by those who;
suffer from Strumous complaints, and that one which will
accomplish their cure must prove <<l immense service to
this large class of our afflicted fellow citizens. How com
pletely this compound will do it has been proven by ex
perinent oa many ot the worst cases to be touml ot the ;
tollowing complaints:—
SCKOFULA AND ScKOFI'LOUS CoJIFI.AINTS, r-KUFTIONt?
AND Eklttive DISEASES, ULCKKS, I'i.viui.ES, BLOTCHES,
TUMOKS, SALT RUEUSJ, SCALD 11 e >d, SY CHILL- AND J
SYPHILITIC AFFEOTioXS, MkKCUUIAL DISEASE, PIIOI'SY, i
NKUBALBIA OK TIC DOULOUKEDX. DEBILITY, DYSPEPSIA
AND INDIGESTION, EKYSIPELA-, ROSE OK ST. ANTHONY S
FIRE, and indeed the whole class cl complaints arising <
from IMPURITY OF TIIE BLOOD. j
This compound wi.l be found a great promoter of j
health, when taken in the spring, to expel the foul hu j
mors which tester in the blood at that season of the year* |
By the timely expulsion of them many rankling disor
ders are nipped in the bud. Multitudes can by the aid
of this remedy, spare themselves from the endurance of
loul eruptions and ulcerous sores, through which the
system will strive to rid itself of corruptions, if not as
sisted to do this through the natural channels of tie!
body by an alterative medicine. Cleanse out the vitiated
blooJ whenever you tiud its impurities bursting through
the skin in pimples, eruptions, or sores : ch-an-e it when :
you find it is obstructed and sluggish in the veins;
Cleanse it whenever it is foul, and your leeiings will tell
you when. Even where no particular disorder is It-It. ,
people enjoy better health, and live longer, for eh ansing
the blood. Keep the blood healthy, and all is well ; but
with this pabulum of life disordered, there can be no j
lasting health. Sooner or late; s-.meihiug must go
wrong, and the great machinery oi lite is disordered or ;
overthrown.
Sarsaparilla has, and deserves much, the reputation,;
of accomplishing these ends. But the world lias been .
egregiously deceived by preparations ol it. partly because |
the drug alone lias not a'! the virtue that is claimed jor ,
it, but more because many preparations, pn tending to be
concentrated extracts of it, contain but little of thevir- j
tne of Sarsaparilla, or any thing else.
During lite years the public hive been misled by large j
Dottles, pretending to give a quart ot Extract ui Sar.-a
parilla for one dollar. Most of these have been frauds
upon the sick, for they not only contain little, it any,
Sarsaparilla, hut often 110 curative properties whatever.
Hence, bitter and painful disappointment has followed
the use of the various extracts of Sur-aparilia which
flood the market, until the name it- If is jn.-t.iy despised,
and has become synonymous with imposition and cheat, j
Still we call this compound Sarsaparilla, and intend to
supply such a remedy as -hall rescue the name from the
load of obloquy which rests upoh it. And we thiol we
have ground lor believing tt has virtues which are ir
resistable by the ordinary ran of the diseases it. is intend
ed to erue. In order to secure their complete eradica
tion from the system, the remedy should be judiei .usly
taken according to directions on the bottle.

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 ot grain. It will not
choke, run easily and steadily, without jumping, and is
warranted to be superior to the common Rake Cleaner

pronounced by every experienced hand at threshing, to
be an admirably contrived and constructed Thresher and
