Ayer's Sarsaparilla, A compound remedy, in 'which we have labored to produce the most effectual alterative that can be made. It is a concentrated extract of Para Sarsaparilla, so combined with other substances of still greater alterative power as to afford an effective antidote for the diseases Sarsaparilla is reputed to cure. It is believed that such a rem edy is wanted by those who suffer from Stru mous complaints, and that ono which will ac complish their cure must prove of immense, ser vice to this large class of our afflicted fellow citizens. How completely this compound will do it has been proven by experiment on many of the worst cases to be fouud of tho following complaints : Sci:oFrr. xsr Scrofulous Complaints, Eruption's axd Ercttivk Diseases, Ul cers, Pimples, Ulotciies, Tumors, Salt Rheum, Scald Head, Syphilis and .Sithi litic Affections; Mercurial Disease, Dropsy, Neuralgia or Tic Douloureaux, Derility, Dyspepsia and Indigestion, Erysipelas, Hose, or St. Anthony's Tire, and indeed tiic whole class of complaints arising from Impurity op the Elood. of This compound will be found agrcat pro moter of health, when taken in the sprinr, to ex pel the foul humors which fester in the blood at that season of t!.y year. JJy tho timely expul sion of them many rankling disorders are nipped in the bud. Multitudes can, by the aid of this remedy, spare themselves from the endurance of foul eruptions and ulcerous Fores, through which the system will s.rivc to rid itself of corruptions, if no't assisted to do this through tho natural channels of tiic body by an nlterativo medicine. Cleanse out the vitiated blood whenever you find its impurities bursting through the skin in pimples, eruptions, or sores ; eleaase it when you find it is obstructed and sluggish in the veins ; cleanse it whenever it is foul, and your feelings will tell you wncn. Even where no particular disorder is felt, 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, tho repu tation of accomplishing these ends. But the world has been cgrcgiously deceived by prepara tions of it, partly because the drug alone has not all the virtue that is claimed for it. but more be cause manv preparations, pretending- to be con centrated extracts, of it, contain but little of the virtue of Sarsaparilla, or any thing else. During late vcars the public, have been milled by large bottles, pretending to give a quart of Extract ot barsauanila for one uouar. Most ot these have been frauds upon the sick, for ti:ey not only contain little, if an v. Sarsaparilla, but often no "urative properties whatever. Hence, bitter and painful disappointment has followed the use of the various extracts ot barsapanaa which Hood r!ic market, until the name itself is justly despised, and has become synonymous with imposition and cheat. Still we call litis compound barsnpariiia, ami mtcnu to supp y such a remedy as "shall rescue the name from the lead of obloquy which rc.-ts upon it. And we think wc have ground lor believing it has vir tues which are irresistible bv the ordinary run of the diseases it is intended to cure. In order to secure their complete eradication from tho sys tem, the remedy should be iucuciouslv taken ac cording to directions on the bottle. PREPARED RY BZ1. S. C.

BAYARD TAYLOR ENGAGED EXCLUSIVELY FOR TOE NEW YOltli JHEKCCRY! At a very heavy expense we have snccee- ded in securing the celebrated Poet, Aior and Tourist, whose charming' letters from foreign lands have long kept the world de lighted and interested, ESAIMKD TAYLOR, ESQ. who will hereafter make the Mercury the only recipent of his inestimable SKETCH ES of TRAVEL, one of which will ap pear every week. We have the happiness to announce, there fore, that in the New York Mercury for April 30th, 1359, will be commenced STRAY CHAPTERS OF LIFE and TRAVEL, UVBATARDTilUOB, the initiatory article being entitled 'Tito First Journey I uvci made,' which is considered bv the author as it un- questionably will be by the public to be his most interesting adventure since the outset of the Great American Traveler, and cannot tail to be of interest to all. These delight- will be tound an entensive nssort ful articles will be beautifully illustrated with mcnt of SRING and SUMMER original designs, in the highest style of the art, portraying the scenes and characters de- scribed in the most graphic manner. This new feature is a most valuable and instructive one, suited to both young and. old, and will render The Xew York Mercury worthy of a loding place, as the most re fined and elegant of all fiimily p;ipers. Since the first announcement of our en gagement with Mr. Taylor, we have re ceived n flood of inquiries from all parts of the Union, relative to tho enterprise, show- ing that public expectation is on tip-toe to learn the particulars regarding the charac- ter ofhis contributions. As it is impossible for us to answer these in detail, we can only refer our friends and correspondents to the. New YorSc Mercury for April SO, where the first of these sparkling and popu lar sketches will be found. As no other American has ever traveled so extensively as Bayard Tayi.ok, and no other traveler can see things with the eyes of America, we need not further eulogize the value of these emanations of his mind and observation, to the reading public. It is suf- ficient to say that they will greatly enhance the high character that the Mercury has ev- or maintained, and that has heretofore rost- ed upon many causes, some oi me most im nortant of which may besummed up as follows: The Murcury employs more literary talent Office, on Elizabeth street, formerly oo than nny other paper. ;,wl W W.m.
