manufactured on the largest scale, and U called for
throughout the length'and breadth or the land.
Unlike young s. P. Townsend's, it improves with
age, and never changes, ;but for the betten because it
is prepared on scientific principles by a scientific man.
The highest knowledge lof Chemistry, and the latest
discoveries of the Art, have all been brought into re*
quiiition In the manufacture ot the Old Dr.’s Sarsapa
rilla- The Sarsaparilla root, it la well known to mcd*-
Icai men, contains medicinal properties, and some pro*
perries which are' inert or useless,’ and others, which,
if retained in preparing it for use, produce ferments*
tion end acid, which is injurious to the system. Some
of the properties of Sarsaparilla are so volatile that
they entirely evaporate and are lost in the prepare*
non, If they are not preserved by a scientific process,
known only to those experienced In its manufacture.
Moreover these volatile principles, which fly off in va
por, or as an exhalation, ; ondcr heat, are the very es
sential medical properties of the root, which gives to
it all its valoe. The j_
GK9UISE
OLD DR. JACOB TOWNSEND'S SARSAPARILLA
is so prepared; that all the inert properties of the Bar*
sapanlls root are first removed, every thing capable
of becoming acid or of fermentation, is extracted and
rejected; then every particle of medical virtue is secu
red in a pare and concentrated form; and thus it Is
rendered mdapablo of losing any of its valuabtoani
healing properties. Prepared in this way, it Is made
(he most powerful agent in the
CURE OF INNUMERABLE DISEASES.
Hence the reason why we hear commendations on
every side in its favor by, men, women and children.
We find it doing wonders in the cure of Consumption,
Dyspepsia, and ldvcr Complaint, and in Rheumatism,
Serofola and Piles, Costiireaess, all Cutaneous Erup
tions, Pimples, Blolehes, and all affections arising from
IMPURITY OF THE BLOOD. .
It possesses a marvellous efficacy In all complaints
arising from Indigestion,!fram Acidity of the B(omaeh;
from unequal circulation; determination ofbtoodtothe
head, palpitation of the heart, cold feet and eoldihands
cold ebiiit and hot flashes over the body. It has not
had its equal in coughs and colds; and promotes easy
expectoration, and gentle perspiration, relaxing stris
tare of the tongs, throat, and every.other part.
Bat in nothing is its excellence more manifestly seen
and acknowledged'tban in all kinds and stages of •
FEMALE COMPLAINTS.
It works wonders in cases of. floor albas or whites,
Failing oflho Womb,, Obstructed, Suppressed, orPain*
fol Menses, Irregslanty.of rite menstrual periods, and

ed the face of the nation siad formed *
brated epoch in the annals of hifl raboi *v*
▼ions to hi* riwiA the people were -flunk m
the riarkoift ignorance and most ferocious
barbarism; he first, with & degree of sue*
cess, applied file Aschimedian lever of edu
cation, oj which the masses of the Anglo-
Saxon race have been gradually elevated to
their present noble ana commanding posi
tion.:
The throne that was bequeathed to this
great monarch was demolished, and.his wild
dominions were overrun by the hostile
Danes, his people were distressed ;and dis
couraged, and hia hopes were at ome at an
exceedingly low ebb. But his noble spirit
would not bow to his misfortune^; he set
himsalf to repair and re-establish fallen
fortune, and .to regain the possession of the
throne and ppwer of his feeble ancestors. A
few passages in his history a touch
ing interest. While yet a youth he was driv
eu to; the fastnesses and woods, where he
took up his abode with the pastoral pities, as
a homeless wanderer, in quest of ;a refuge
from the fury of the cruel Danish conquer
ois fiiatnow infested the entire country. The
clan with which he found protection and a
home, long remained ignorant of file regal
descent and heroic character of their guest £
they entertained him, according to their cus
tom, as one of the many friendless strangers
that were then roaming about the kingdom.
They askedno questions for conscience sake,
and the poble heir, ■ onhis part, was quite
willing for the time to remain incognito.—
During this sojourn anting the shepherds, a
slight event occurred, which to us is note
little amusing. Alfred had been engaged in
a hunt on a certain day, and after having be
come weary with the chase, he returned to
the tent ana seated himself by. the fire. The
good dame was preparing a repast -for the
family against they returned from the chase.
Among other articles the homely cake was
baking amongthe embers, and she comman
ded Alfred to watch irtilL it should be pre
pared for the table. But he was busily en
gaged in warming himself adjusting his ar
rows and drying his moistened bow-strings,
and entirely neglected his important charge.
When the matron discovered that the staple
of hex intended repast was already consum
ed in' the fire, through the inattention of her
hapless gnest, there were no bounds to her
rage. She gave him such a fatbfol admo
nition as seldom reaches the earn of kings:
“ Yon always appear well pleased to eat my
warm cakes, though yon are thus negligent
in toasting them.” The royal. pupil wfs
well contentto receive these instructions, ao
companied with nothing more severe than
wertla. 1 >
But as we intimated, Alfred did not . re
main long-in his retreat He gradually form
ed an acquaintance with the neighboring
tribes, by degrees revealed his tree charac
ter, and began to form plots and conspiracies
against file conquerors of hi* country. When
ms followers had become sufficiently numer
ous, he pushed his marches towards the
Danish encampment; and that ha might
know the exact position and strength of the
enemy, formed the daring resolve to enter
the tent of the king in the guise ot a musi
cian, and thus bring back to his comrades a
statement of their prospects. He accom-'
pfiahed this heioie undertaking, and return
ed to-his camp without being known. He
fanned the ranks of his brave little army,
and conducted them with boldness andeneD
gy to the enemy’s encampment, where,hav
ing observed the assailable position, his ar
my entered and put the Danes to a perfect
rent What he here gained by an able gen
eralship, he retained, and continued to make
farther conquests, till the Northmen 1 were en
tirely subdued, and Alfred firmly seated
friii) *Aif on the throne of his .fathers. *
Immediately on this event, he engaged in
a radical reform of the English laws, or rath
er he invented laws. Those by winch the
kingdom had hitherto been governed were
nothing more than the slight regulations that
obtain among barbarous and pastoral tribes.
This monarch was centuries ahead of his
generation. Issuing from the wilderness and
from among wild men, he adopted the hu
mane laws of a civilized people, the rudi
ments of the lawa that now govern the An
glo-Saxon race in both hemispheres. To
his .noble genius are we indebted for the
foundation of the common fa to, the trial by ju
ry, and the independent spirit diffused
throughout onr institutions, it was an in
spiring sentiment, and one fully appreciated
by his later dependents, that the great Al
fred bequeathed to us in his last testament:
“ It it juit that the English should forever re
main free as ihiir oxcntkoughls.
Like Cssar of an earlier, and Napoleon of
a later age, his noble talents were equally
conspicuous in the field and in thacabinet—
he knew both how to conquer and role men
and make laws. Contrary to the maxims
of the dark age in which he had the misfor
tune to live, Allred sedulously, applied him*
self to the culture and menial elevation of
his people. He sent his men into the dark
quarry of the multitude, to bring out and
fashion rude spirits, priceless as the Parian
marble or the yellow gold. Himself set the
royal example of study in the scanty scien
ces and literature of nis time; and indeed
the history of bis mental struggles and suc
cesses, is the literary history ot his genera
tion. so far as concerns the English nation.
In tqe days of this prince, learning was re
garded as an nnkmgiy acquirement, and ve
ry generally despised by crowned heads.—
Many a king has found a place in the British
annals, who was unable even to write his
name, and necessitated to substitute the cross.
The material, the groundwork of the schol
ar was boro with Alfred;^but the circum
stance that kindled his ardent mind-iutoa
love of study and learning, was characteris
tic. Judith, his was seated one
day in the midst of her family, perusing a
book of Saxon poetry, composed by Aldhelm
and Codman, two celebrated Saxon poets.—
With a happy judgment,. she proposed to
make a present of the book to the one who
wotdd first learn to read iL The other prin
ces deeming the reward disproportionate to
the task, retired from the field of emulation.
But the ardent mind of Alfred was captiva
ted with the offer, and he diligently applied
till he made the acquirement, re
ported it to his mother, ana received the
book for his reward. Not content with what
would then beregarded as his gigantic labor,
he determined to read the classic authors oF
Greece and Rome in their native tongue.
For long years he addressed himself to hw
beloved task, and eventually obtained the
happiness of communing with those great
spirits in"the very words they used. He be
came a ripe scholar, a grammarian, a rheto
rician, apnilosopher, a historian, a musician,
the prince of Saxon poesy, and an excellent
architect and geometrician.
Actuated by a strong love for his people.
pnri an unqnenchable desire for their mental
and moral unprovement.be diligently sought
out the learned men of his own country,and
invited learned foreigners to his court, and
munificently rewarded the exertion of their
talents. He added the influence of his own
example, and became a translator and au
thor. .
He engaged in a translation of Boethius’
Conßolations of Philosophy, the Histories, oi
Aroaius and Bede, and the pastorals of Greg
ory into the Anglo Saxon. Alfred did a
greater work than this, fie gave to his rode
Saxons the Word of God in their vulgar dia
lect Some authors affirm that the task was
not completed; others that it was finished
by some of the scholars that gathered about
his court; however the case may be, the be
nevolent and pious intention of the monarch
isevinced by a deed of such rare merit
This sketch oi the great Saxon would be
incomplete were we to omit to notice his id
dy—a iHtng seldom observed among the
barbarous potentates of the ninth century.
With Him it was nota bareform ora splen
did series of ceremonials, it was a work of
the heart: it fashioned his character and im
pelled him to the noblo and pious deeds that
filled his entire life. Though no learned from
the efieminate .Homans the general doc-,
trines of Christianity, hismore ex-,
perienee and ardent devotion led him to

elevated them to the rank of men, and strove
to render them contented and happy. He
cherished a love of* justice and truth, and so
far as possible engrafted these noble trait*

The eondtuioii of his life-exhibits the pa
tience of the Christian under sufferings and
trials—a patience and roiignstion seldom
witnessed in the closing scenes pf a mon
arch’s life. His entire file indeed was but a
pilgrimage mafired by. lufiering a constant
pam. The SaxSi physicians were unable
to afford any relief, or even to detect the na
ture ofthe diflfmiw. He was necessitated to
suffer, arid endure it unrelieved;' 1 ' Dr. Town
ley observes: “It is not among the leaslad-
Tpmthlaf circumstances of-this great prince
that .he withstood the fiercest hostilities that
ever distressedanation,cultiratedliteratore.
discharged his publio duties, and executed
alibis schemes for the improvement of his
people, amid a perpetual 'agony ep horrible,
that it would have diaahW a eommonman
from the least exertion?’
The character of this prmc<» is depicted in
the following yivnrnfltin but expressive sen
tences of Sharon Turner: “Tint victorious
warrior, this sagacious statesman, this friend
of distress, this protector against oppression;
who, in an age of ignorance, lovedfiterature
anddiffasedn; who, inaiuage.pf supersti
tionbonldbe rationally in a sta
tion of royalty could discern his faults and
convert them into virtues; wai called from
the world in the fifty-second .year of his
age.”' •
“The reign of Alfred,” sayd.-Hannah
More, “iseminently the study;of kings. In
hiim, tbejnost vigorous jexartion of public
justice, was united with attachment to pub
lic liberty,” “This prince,” says. Dr. Gold
smith,. “ seemed boro not only to defend his
bleeding country, bnt to adorn humanity.”
Arid the eulogy of Mr. Hnme ( on. Alfred will
not be inappropriate in this connection.
“The merits ot this prince, .both ia puhlic
and in private life, may with advantage be
set in opposition to that of any monarch or
which,the annals of any age or na
tion may present to ns. He seems, indeed,
to be the model of that perfect character
which under thedenomination : of a sage,
philosophers have been fond of delineating,
rather as a fiction.'of thfcfr imagination than
in the hopes ©fever seeing it really_g listing
—so happUy ,were all his virtues/tempered
together, so justly were theyblended-andso
powerfully did each prevent the other from
exceeding its proper Doundaties.”—History
of England, VoL l.p. 69.
, The noble qualities that adorn and distin
guish the character of this Saxon ruler, ren
der him worthy onr study and remembrance..
He was in his age a perfectly unique per
sonage, and by the moral grandeur of his
bearing, reminds ns of the majestic oak,‘
which rears its branches far above all it*
neighbors of the forest, and impresses onr
minds with that power and internal vigor
that have resisted the blasts of centuries, and
amid whose giant arms the tender vine has
clustered ana the feathered tribe has found
shelter and repose. Such was. Alfred, one of
thegreatestot Britain’s kings.'
The chronological dates of his life jdemand
only a passing notice. Ee was j boro at
Wantage, in Hampshire^England Aj D. 849,
ascended the'throne of England, Al D. $7l.
and died during the. first year of
the tenth century. . . ■. |
