CON centrated extract of Pam Sarsaparilla, so combined with other substnnces of still greater alterative power' as to afford an effective antidote for diseaseS Sarsaparilla is reputed to cure. Such a remedy is surely wanted by those who suffer from &ruinous complaints, and that one which will accomplish their cure must prove of hn mense service to this large class of our afflicted follow citizens. How completely this compound will do it has been proven by experiment on many of the worst cases to be found in the following complaints : . SCROFULA AND lICROFULOUS COMPLAINTS, .ERCPTIONS AND ERUPTIVE •DISEASE_ ,S ULCERS, PIMPLEA,' ELOTCRES, !rumens, Sala RHEUM, SCALD HEAD, SYPHILIS AND SY PHILITIC AFFECTIONS, MERCURIAL DISEASE, DROPSY, NEURALRIA OR. bc.DOLOREUX. DEBILITY, DY3PEP3IA• AND INIEORSTION, ERYSIPELAS ROSE OE Si. ANTHONY'S FIRE, and indeed the whole .class of complaints arising from I.3truurry TRETLOOD. This compound will be found a great promoter of health when taken in the spring to expel the foul hu mors which foster in the blood at that season of the year. By the timely_expulsion of, them many rankling disor tiers are nipped in the bud. Multitudes can, by the aid of this remedy, spare themselves from the endurance of foul 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 the body by an nherative-medielue. Cleanse out the vitia ted blood whenever yon had its impurities bursting through the skin in pimples, eruptions, or sores; cleanse it when you lind it is obstructed. and. sluggish in the \fetus; cleanse it whenever it is foul, and your feelings will tell you -when. Even where no particular disorder is felt,peopleenjoy better bealth,and live longer, for cleansing thOhlood. Keep the blood healthy, and all is well; but with the 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 over wrong, mown. - - During late years the public have been misled by largo bottles, prkending to give a quart of Extract of Sarsa parilla for one dollar. Most of close barn been frauds upon the sick, for they not only contain little, if any, Stfrielparilla, but :often uo curative properties whatever. Hence, bitter and • painful disappointment has followed the use of the various extracts of Sarsaparilla which flood the market, until the name itself isi ustly despised, stud has heconiesynonyinous withimposition and cheat. Still we eall this compound Sarsaparilla, and intend to Ripply such a remedy as shall rescue the name front the load of obloquy which rests upon it. And WO think we duive ground for believing it has diseaseshich are irre sistible by the ordinary run of the It is intended to cure. . Prepared hi DR: J. C. AYER & CO.. 'Atwell, Massa chusetts.
