Ayer's Sarsaparilla.
A COMPOUND REMEDY, in which we
have labored to jiroduce the most effectual altera
tve that can l>e made. It is a concentvaUd extractor
Para Sarsaparilla, so combined with other substances ot
stilt" greater alterat : ve power as to afford an effective an
tidote tor the diseases Sa-sapariila is reputed to cure. It
is believed that such a remedy is wanteJ by those who
suffer from Strumous complaints, and that one which will
accomplish their cure must prove of immense service to
this large class of our afflicted tellow-citiZens. flow com
pletely this compound will do it has been proven by ex
perinent on many of the worst cases to be louud ot tlte
following complaints_
SCROFULA AND SCKOFLT.Ot'S COMPLAINTS, EUITTIONS
AND EKUPTIVE DISEASES, ULCERS, PIMPLES, bLorciiEs,
TUMORS, SALT RHEUM, SCALD HE D, SYPUILLS AND
SYPHILITIC AFFECTIONS, MERCURIAL DISEASE, DROPSY,
NEURALGIA OK TIC DOFI.OFKEI-X. DEBILITY, DYSPEPSIA
AND INDIGESTION, ERYSIPELAS, ROSE OK ST. ANTHONY >
FIRE, and indeed the whole class ot complaints uiising
from IMPUKITY OF THE HI.OOD.
This compound wi 1 he found a great promoter of
health when taken in the spring, to expel tiie foul hu
mors which fester in the blood at that season oi the year
Pv the timely expulsion of them many rankling disor
ders are nipped in the bud. Multitudes can by the aid
of this remedy, sp ire themselves f rom the endurance o!
foul eruptions and ulcerous sores, through which the
system will strive to rid itself of corruptions, if not as
siste d to do this through the natural channels oj t e
body by an alterative medicine. Cleanse cut the vitiated
blood whenever you lino its impurities bursting through
the skin in pimples, eruptions, or sores ; cleanse it when
Toutind it is obstructed and sluggish in the veins:
cleanse it whenever it is foul, and your feelings will tell
you when. Even where no particular disoruer is felt.,
people enjoy better health, and live longer, lor cleansing
the blood. Keep the blood healthy, ami ;i!l is well : but
with this pabulum of life disordered, there can be in
festing health. Sooner or later something mast go
wrong, and. the great machinery of life is disorueied 01
overthrown.
Sarsaparilla has, and deserves much, the reputation,
of accomplishing these ends. Hut the world has been
egregiously deceived by preparations of it, parCy because
the dt ug alone has not all the virtue that is claimed jor
it, but moi'e because many preparations, pretending to be
concentrated extracts ot it, crut tit but little ot the vir
tue of Sarsaparilla, or any thing else.
During late years the public h >ve been misled by large
oottles, pretending to give a quart ot Extract ot Sar>a
papilla for one dollar. Most oi these have been Irauds
npoh the sick, for they not only contain little, it any.
Sarsaparilla, but often no curative properties whatever.
Hence, bitter and paintnl disappointment has lo'iowed
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 an I cheat
Still we call this compound Sarsaparilla, and intend to
supply such a remedy as shall rescue the name Irom the
load of obloquy which rests upoll it. And we thinl- we
have ground tor believing it has virtues which are ir
resistable by the ordinary run ol the diseases it is intend
ed to erne. In order to secure their complete eradica
tion from the system, the remedy should be judici ,us'.y
taken according to directions on the bottle.

"To be, or not to be— hat is the question !
Whether 'tis nobler in the mind to suffer
The siings and arrows of outrageous opposition,
Or by taking up arms against a sea oi printing ink,
And opposing, end them."
rpiJE proprietor of the Argus takes o casion in adver-
L tisingiiis Bindery to indulge in an uncalled for fling
about a " sort of a concern," which is hoping '* t<> delude
the public." As 1 have opened a Bindery on my own ac
count, the inference is that if the public bring theii
binding to me, they are in no danger of being defrauded-
For two years I have worked for Mr. PAE-ONS, and lie
has taken great pains t satisfy the public 1 was the" best
Binder in America," as the columns of the Argus wii
testify. Has he been all that time " deluding the pub
lie?"" If I have been engaged in a fraud, he has been t!i
principal. But 1 refer to my work during that time a
evidence that there has been no fraud practiced.
Having served a long apprenticeship at the Bindery
business, I have resumed business here on my own ac
count,as I know of nothing which prevents me Irom fol
lowing a legitimate and bawful calling lor my support.—
I shall endeavor by good work and attention to my busi
3t-ss to give public satisfaction.

EMEU Y ' 8
Celebrated Threshing Machines,
EMERY'S ONE AND TWO HORSE POWERS, are
too well and popularly known to need any description
from me, and I will only say that they continue to de
serve the reputation they have enjoyed for ten years of
being the "best Endless Chain' Horse Power in use."
These Powers possess conveniences and advantages pos
sessed by no other power.
EMER Y'S NEW PA TENT
THRESHER AND CLEANER
This a new Machine, and has not before been intro
duced into this region. It has no endless chain straw
carrier, but separates all kinds of gram thoroughly from
the straw, by a combination of Pitts' Endless Canvass
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 ( Kan thor
oughly, without wasting, all kinds of grain. It will not
choke, run easily and steadily, without jumping, and is
warranted to be superior to the common Rake Cleaner
now in use. It remains only to he seen and tested, to he
pronounced by every experienced hand at threshing, to
lie an admirably contrived and constructed Thresher and
Cleaner.
EMERY'S IMPROVED THRESHERS k SEP/,RATERS
