U. S. 10-40 Bonds.
These Bonds are issued under the Act of Congress
of Marchßth, 18£>4 T which provides that all Bond
issued under this Act shall bo EXEMPT FROM
TAXATION by or under any state or municipal au
th >ritv. Subscriptions to these Bonds are received
in Uuitca States notes or notes of National Banks,
They arc TO BE REDEEMED IN COIN, at the
pleasure of the Government, a: any period not Jess
than ten nor mora than forty years from their date
and until Jfceir redemption FIVE PER CENT IN
TEREST WILL EE PAID IN COIN, on Bonds of
not over one hundred dollars annually and on all
other Bonds semi-annually. The interest is payable
on the first days of March and September in each
year.
Subscribers will receive either Registered or Cou
pon Bonds, as they may prefer. Registered Bonds
are recorded on tbe books of the TJ. S. Treasurer,
and can be transferred onlfkia the owner's order, —
Coupon Bonds are payable to bearer, and are more
convenient for commercial uses.
Subscribers to thi. loan will have the option of
having their Bonds draw interest from March Ist, by
paying the accrued interest incoiu—(or in United
States or the notes of National Banks, adding fifty
percent, from premium,) or receive them drawing
interest from the drte of subscription and deposei—
as theses Bond are
Exempt from Municipal or State Taxation,
their value is increased from one to three per cent
per annum, according to the rate of tax levies in
various parts of the country.
At the present rate of premium on gold they pay
Over Eight per Cent Interest
in currency, and are of equal convenieuco as a per
manent or temporary investment.
It is believe! that no securties offer so great in
ducements to lenders as the various descriptions of
U.S. Bonds. In all other forms of indebtedness, the
faith or ability of private parties or stock compa
nies or separate communities only is pledge t for
payment, while for the debt of the United States
the whclt property of the country, is holden to se
cure the p vyinent of both principal and interest In
coin.
These Bonis maybe subscribed fer in sums from
SSO up to any magnitude, on the same terms, . and
arc thus made equally available to tbe smallest len
der and the largest capitalist They can be convert
e I into money at any moment, au I the holder will
have the t ono-t of the interest.
It may bo useful to state in this connection that
the total Funded Debt of the United States on
vrhi L •!.• • ; i jable in g Id, on the 3d day of
Ma h, 1 i. w•■:To -. 1* 000. The interest on
this debt tor tho coining fiscal year will be $15,927,
126, while the customs revenue in gold for the cur
rent fiscal y. ar, endl.g June 30th, 1854, has been
so far it the rate of over $100,000,000 per annum
It will be seen that oven the present gold reve
nue of the Government are largely in excess of the
wants of the Treasury for the payment of gold in
terest, while the recent increase f the tariff will
doubtless raise the annual receipts from customs on
the same amount of impartations, to $l5O 000,000
per annum.
Instructions to the National Banks acting as loan
agents were not issued from the United State Treas
ury until March 26, but in the first thtee weeks of
April the subscripti-ms averaged more than TEN
MILLIONS A WEEK..
Subscriptions will be received by the

THE peculiar taint of
infection which we call
■©(& FC3| SCROFULA lurka in
*W VfL t * ie * . cons, ' tut ions of
Sc /Lm multitudes of men. It
fV" f* ' either producea or io
' produced hy an ea
fechled, vitiated state
_ j of the blood, wherein
ikJafeHSsa fluid Incomes in-
IFE RA| A to sustain
v ' ,n ' f° roefl >n their
; . ///lt' , 'A c vigorous action, and
leaves the system to
,a '* ' nto disorder and
decay. Tlie scrofulous
contamination is variously caused hv mercurial
disease, low living, disordered digestion from
unhealthy food, impure air, filth and filthy
habits, the depressing vices, and, above all, by
the venereal infection. Whatever be its origin,
it is hereditary in the constitution, descending
"from parents* to children unto the third ana
fourth generation ; " indeed, it seems to be the
rod of Him who says, " I will visit the iniqui
ties of the fathers upon their children." The
diseases which it originates take various names,
according to the organs it attacks. In the
lungs, Scrofula produces tubercles, and finally
Consumption ; in the glands, swellings which
suppurate and become ulcerous sores; in the
stomach and bowels, derangements which prey
duee indigestion, dyspepsia, and liver com
plaints; on the skin, eruptive and cutaneous
affections. These all having the same origin,
require the same remedy, viz. purification and
invigoration of the blood. Purify the blood,
and these dangerous distempers leave yon.
With feeble, foul, or corrupted blood, you can
not have Health ; with that " life of the flesh"
healthy, you cannot have scrofulous disease.
Ayor's Sarsaparilla
is compounded from the most effectual and
dotes that medical science has discovered for
this afflicting distemper, and for the cure of the
disorders it entails. That it is far superior to
any other remedy yet devised, is known by all
who have given it a trial. That it does com
bine virtues truly extraordinary in their effect
upon this class of complaints, is indisputably
proven by the great multitude of publicly
known and remarkable cures it has made of
the following diseases : King'B Evil Or
Glandular Swellings, Tumors, Erup
tions, Pimples, Blotches and Sores, Ery
sipelas, Rose or St. Anthonys Fire, Salt
Rheum, Scald Head, Coughs from tu
berculous deposits in the lungs. White
Swellings, Debility, Dropsy, Neuralgia,
Dyspepsia or Indigestion, Syphilis and
Syphilitic Infections, Mercurial Diseases,
Female Weaknesses, and. indeed, the whole
series of complaints tiiat arise from impurity
of the blood. Minute reports of individual,
cases may he found in AYER'S AMERICAN
ALMANAC, which is furnished to the druggists
for gratuitous distribution, wherein may bo
learned the directions for its use, and some of
the remarkable cures which it lias made when
all other remedies had failed to afford relief.
Those cases are purposely taken from all sec
tions of the country, in order that every reader
may have access to some one who can speak to
liim of its benefits from personal experience.
Scrofula depresses the vital energies, and thua
leaves its victims far more subject to disease
arid its fatal results than arc healthy constitu
tions. Hence it tends to shorten, and does;
greatly shorten, the average duration of human
life. The vast importance of these considera
tions lias led us to spend years in perfecting a
remedy which is adequate to its cure. This
we now offer to the public under tlie name of
AYER'S SARSAPARILLA, although it is com
posed of ingredients, some of which exceed the
best of Sirs i/xtrilla in alterative power. By
its aid you may protect yourself from the suffer
ing and danger of these disorders. l J urge out
the foul corruptions that rot and fester in the
blood; purge out the causes of disease, and
vigorous health will follow. By its peculiar
virtues this remedy stimulates the vital func
tions, and thus expels the distempers which
lurk within tlie system or burst out on any
part of it.
We know the public have been deceived b*
many compounds of SarsaparilJa , that promise
much and did nothing; but they will neither b
deceived nor disappointed in this. Its virtue
have been proven by abundant trial, and there
remains no question of its surpassing excellence
for the cure of the afflicting diseases it is in
tended to reach. Although under tlie same
name, it is a very different medicine from any
other which en before the people, and is
far more diet-: u-.il than any other which has
ever been available to them.
