Ayer's Sarsaparilla.
A COMPOUND REMEDY, in which we
have labored to produce the most effectual altera
ive that can be made. It is a concentrated extract of
Para Sarsaparilla, so combined with other substances of
still greater alteraUve power as to afford an effective an
tidote for the diseases Sa-saparilla 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 fellow-citizens. How com
pletely this compound will do it has been proven by ex
perinent on many of tbe worst cases to be found ot the
toHowing complaints:—
-SCROFULA, AND SCROFULOUS COMPLAINTS, LRUTTIONS
AND EKUPTIVR DISEASES, UI.CKRS, PIMPLF.S, BLOTCHES,
TUMORS. SALT RHEUM, SCALD HEAD, SYPHILLS AND
SYPIJILITIC AFFECTIONS,MERCURIAL DISEASE, DROPSY,
NEURALGIA OR TIC DOULOUREUX. DEBILITY, DYSPEPSIA
AND INDIGESTION, ERYSIPELAS, ROSE OR ST. ANTHONY S
FIRE, and indeed the whole class of complaints arising
from IMPURITY OF THE BLOOD.
This compound wi;l be found a great promoter of
health, when taken in the spring, to expel tbe foul hu
mors which fester in the blood at that season of the year
By the timely expulsion of them many raukliug disor
ders are nipped in the bud. Multitudes can by the aid
of this remedy, spare themselves Iron the endurance of
foul cruptious 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 tne
body by an alterative medicine. Cleanse out the vitiated
blood whenever you find its impurities bursting through ,
the skin in pimples, eruptions, or sores ; cleanse it w hen
you find it is obstructed and sluggish in the veins;
cleause it whenever it is foul, and your feelings will tell
you when. Even where no particular disoruei is left,
people enjoy better health, and live longer, for cleansing
the blood. Keep the blood healthy, and all is well ; but
with this pabulum of life disordered, there can be no
lasting health. Sooner or later something must go
wrong, and the great machinery of life is disordered or
overthrown. .
Sarsaparilla has, and deserves much, the reputation,
of accomplishing these ends. But the world bus been
egregioiisly deceived by preparations of it, partiy because
the drug alone lias not all the virtue that is claimed jor
it, but more because nrmy preparations, pretending to be
concentrated extracts of it, contain but little ot the v ii
tue or Sarsaparilla, or any thing else.
Dm ing late years the public li ive been misled by large
Dottles, pretending to give a quart of Extract ot Sarsn
parilla tor one Most ot these have hoen fiauus j
upon the sick, for tliey not only contain little, if any.
Sarsaparilla, but often no curative properties whatever,
lience. bitter and puinlul disappointment lias tollowed
the use of the various extracts of Sar-aparilla which
flood the market, until the name itself is justly despised,
and hash cone synonymous with imposition and cheat.
Still we call tliis compound Sarsaparilla. and intend to
snpidv such a remedy as shall rescue the name from the
I'ad of obloquy which rests upoh it. And we think we
have ground tor .believing it has virtues which are ir-j
resist idle by the "ordinary run of the diseases it is intend- j
edtoerue. lo order to secure their complete eradica- j
tjon from the system, the remedy should l>e judiciously i
taken according to directions on the bottle.

" To be, or not to he— hat is the question !
Whether 'tis nobler iu the mind to suffer
The slings and arrows of outrageous opposition, j
Or by taking up arms against a sea ot printing ink, |
Aad opposing, end them.
rpHE proprietor of the Argus takes occasion in adver-
L tising his Bindery to indulge in an uncalled for fling
about a " sort of a concern," which is hoping " to delude
the public." As I have opened a Bindery on my own ac
count, the interence is that it the public bring their
binding to me, they are in no danger of being defrauded.
Fof two'years I have worked for Mr. PARSONS, and he i
has taken great pains t satisfy tbe public I was the " best
Binder in America," as the columns of the Arguq wil
testify. Has he been all that time " deluding the pub
lie ?" If 1 have been engaged in a fraud, he lias been tli
principal. But I refer to my work during that time a,
evidence that there has been no fraud practiced. j
Having served a long apprenticeship at the Bindery
Business, I have resumed business here on iny own ac
count,as 1 know of nothing which pre' ntsine Irum tol

EMERY'S
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.
EMERY'S NEW PATENT
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 grain 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 clean thor
oughly, without wasting, all kinds of grain. It will not
choke, run easily and steadily, without jumping, and is
warranted be superior to the common Rake Cleaner
now in use. It remains only to be seen and tested, to he
pronounced by every experienced hand at threshing, to
he an admirably contrived and constructed Thresher and
Cleaner.
EMERY'S IMPROVED THRESHERS & SEPARATERS
