AVER’S sarsaparilla.

nff,^o t f?.* extraCt S &ra Sarsaparilla, bo combined with
an«« ,Bl i! JB^ ailce greater alterative power as to afford
for the diseases Sarsaparilla is reputed
~ care ’ Rl* believed that such a remedy is wanted by
JSSffc »?i aafl>er from Strumous complaints, and that one
which will accomplish their core must prove of immense
service to this largo class of our afflicted fellow-citizens.—
, ow completely this compound will do it has been proven
by experiment on many of the worst cases to be found of the
following complaints
Scrofula and Scrofulous Complaints, Eruptions and Erup*
•i”®"*®®* B * B , Ulcers, Pimples, blotches,Tumors, Salt P,heum
Head, Syphilis and Syphilitic Affections, Mercurial
Disease, Dropsy, Neuralgia or Tic Douloureux, Debility,
Dyspepsia, and Indigestion, Erysipelas, Hose or St. Anthony’s
inre, and indeed the whole class of complaihts arising from
impurity of the blood.
This compound will bo found a great promoter of health,
when taken in the spring, to expel the foul humors which
jester m the blood at that season of the year. By the timsly
expulsion of them many ranklingdisorders are nipped in the
i * u ‘* l todes can, by the aid of this remedy, spare them*
selves from the endurance of foul eruptions and ulcerous
sores, through which the system will stive to rid itself of
corruptions, if not assisted to do this through the natural
channels of the body by an alterative medicine. Ccanso
out the vitiated blood whenever you find its Impurities burst
ing through the skin in pimples, eruptions, or sores; cleanse
it when you find it is obstructed ami sluggish in the veins;
cleanse it whenever it is foul, and your teelings will tell you
when. Even where no particular'disorder is felt, people en
joy better health, and live longer, for cleansing the blood.—
Keep the blood healthy, and all is well; but with this pabu
lum of life disordered, there can be no lasting health. Soon
er or later something must go wrong, and the great machi
nery of life is disordered or overthrown.
Sarsaparilla has, and deserves much, the reputation, of ac
complishing these ends. But the world has been egregiously
deceived by preparations of It, partly because the drug alone
has not all the virtue that is claimed for it, but more be
cause many preparations, pretending to bo concentrated ex
tracts of it, contain but little of the virtue of Sarsaparilla*
or an y thing else.
During la to years the public have been misled by largo
bottles, pretending to give a quart of Extract of Sarsaparilla
lor ono dollar. Moat of these have been frauds upon the
sick, for they not only contain little if any Sarsaparilla, but
often no 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 is justly despised, and has become synonymous
with imposition and cheat. Still wo call this compound Sar
saparilla, and intend to supply such a remedy as shall rescue
the name from the load of obloquy which rests upon it. And
we think wo have ground for believing it has virtues which
are irresistible by the ordinary run of the diseases it is in
tended to cure. In order to secure their complete eradica
tion from the system, the remedy should he judiciously to
ken according to directions on the bottie.

TESTIMONIALS.
“ Having had one of Grover & Baker's Machines in
my family for nearly a year and a half, I take plea
sure in commending it as every way reliable for the
purpose for which it is designed—Family Sewing.”—
[Mrs. Joshua Leavitt, wife of Rev. Dr. Leavitt, Editor
of K. Y. Independent.
** I confess myself delighted with your Sewing Ma
chine, which has been in my family for many months.
It has always been ready for duty, requiring no ad
justment, and is easily adapted, to every variety of
family sewing, by simply changing the spools of
thread.”—[Mrs. Elizabeth Strickland, wife of Rev. Dr.
Strickland, Editor of N. Y. Ch'rittian Advocate.
“After trying several different good machines, I
preferred yours, on account of simplicity, and the per
fect ease with which it is managed, as well os the
strength and durability of the seam. After long ex
perience, I feel competent to speak in this manner,
and to confidently recommend it for every variety of
family sewing,”—[Mrs. E. B. Spooner, wife of the Ed
itor of Brooklyn Star.
41 1 have used a Grover and Baker Sewing Machine
.for two years, and have found it adapted to all kinds
of family sewing, from Cambric to Broadcloth. Gar
ments have been worn out without the giving way of
a stitch. The Machine is easily kept in order, and
easily used.”—[Mrs. A. B. Whipple, with of Rev. Geo.

“Your Sewing Machine has been in use in my fam
ily the past two years, and the ladies request me to

sion that every lady who desires her sewing beauti
fully and quickly dong, would he most fortunate in
possessing one of these reliable and indefatigable
‘ iron needle-women/ whose combined qualities of
beauty, strength, and simplicity, are invaluable.”—
[J. W. Morris, daughter of Gch. Geo. P. Morris, Edi
tor °f Home Journal.
Extract of a letter from Thos. R. Leavitt, Esq., an
American gentleman now resident in Sydney, New
South Wales, dated January 12, 185 S ;
“ I had a.tcnt made in Melbourne, in 1553, in which
there were over three thousand yards of sewing done
with one of Grover A Baker’s Machines, and a single
seam of that has outstood all the double seams sewed
by sailors with a needle and twine.”
“If Homer could bo called up from his murky
shades, he would sing the advent of Grover aud Baker
as a more benignant miracle of art than was ever
Vulcan’s smity. He would denounce midnight shirt
making as ‘ tho direful spring of woes unnumbered.”
—[Prof, North.
“ I take pleasure in saying, that the Grover A Ba
ker Sewing Machines have moro than sustained my
expectation. After trying and returning others, I
have three of them in operation in my different places,
and, after four years' trial, hare no fault to find.”—
(J. H. Hammond, Senator of South Carolina. \
“ My wife has had one of Grover & Baker's Family
Sewing Machines for some time, and I am satisfied it
1$ one of the best labor-saving machines that has been
invented. I take much pleasure in recommending it
to the public.”—[J. G. Harris, Gov. of Tennessee.
“It is a beautiful thing, and puts everybody into an
excitement of good humor. Were I a Catholic, I
should insist upon Saints Grover A Baker having an
eternal holiday in commemoration of their good deeds
for humanity.”—[Cassius M. Clay.
“ I think itby far the best patent in use. This Ma
chine can be adapted from the finest cambric to tho
heaviest cassimere. It sews stropgcr, faster, and more
beautifully than one can imagine. If mine could not
be replaced, money could not buy it.”-*-Mrs. J. G.

OXYGENATED BITTERS.
For tbe cure of Dyspepsia or Ixdiqcstiox, Liver Complain
Asthma, Custiveuess, Loss of Appetite, Fever and Agw
Heart Burn, Water Brash, Acidity, Sea Sickness, Scurvi
Nausea, Headache, Ennui, and General Debility, orauy'du
case haring its origin fa imperfect digestion. i;
These Bitters, os nil classes of oar fellow citizens, Includ
ing Members of Congress, Lawyers. Physicians, ClorgyrnjiH,
Planters. Farmers and others testify, are the only safe, der*
tain and sovereign specific for the immediate relief and tier*
munent euro of the mnny cruel complaints which In sonfe
phase or other of Dyspepsia afflict our race. ]\ |
These Bitters were discovered by Dr. Oeocge B. QrCEX,
and in their formula differ entirely from that of any other
preparation of medicine. Containing no akobol—no miner
al—no poison—no fluxions drug.—in their nature tonic.lnot
stimulating.—retaining their virtues in any clime: theyjare
a “combination and a form indeed’' of Medicine which knows
no rival in exterminating disease and restoring the system
to its pmtiue vigor and health. No matter of how* long
standing, or however induced or chronic in its chnracterlthe
disease may be—no matter that it has ladled theskniofjtne
physician, and resisted the efforts of A/edicine. a single trls
of these Bitters will satisfy the sufferer that his disease sB
amenable to the proper remedy. ' jj
In testimony of the many cures effected by this Remedy
reference is hod to the written certificates from distinguished
individuals known all over the land. g
From among the many letters nc are constantly receiving
wo take the following:— j }j
“OE.vrursfEN: —I have used the Oxygenated Bitters in nw
practice with decided success in Debility and General p|rof>
tration, and. confidently recommend it in cases of General
Debility or Derangement of the Digestive Organs. T
