The diseases it originates take various name, according to the organs it attack':. ti the lungs, Scrofula produces tubercle-, and finally CotiMimption; in the Kland), swellitiL's which mppunite and be come ulci-rotis pores; in the stomach and bowels, derangements which produce indi eestion, dyspepsia, and liver complaints j on the skin, eruptive and cutaneous rdlections.

With feeble, foul, or corrupted blood, oil cannot have health; with tlmt "life of" the iles'i" healthy, you cannot have scrofulous dhease. Ayor's Sarsapnrilla Is compounded from the most cficctual anti dotes that medical science his discovered for this nlllictinp distemper, and lor the cure of the disorders it entails. That it is far supe rior b any other remedy yd devised, is known by all who have piven it a trial. That it docs combine virtues truly extraordinary in their effect upon this class of complaints, is indisputably proven by the prcat multitude of publicly known and remarkable cures it has made of the following diseases : King's Evil, cr Giindular Swellings,' Tumors, Eruptions, Fimples, Blotches and Sores, Erysipelas, Rose or St. Anthony's Fire, Salt Rheum, Sald Head, Coughs from tubereukus deposits :'n tho lungs, White "Swellings, Debility, Dropsy, Keuralgia, Dyspepsia cr Indigestion, Syphilis and Uyphilitic Infections, Mercurial Diseases, iCEllle Weaknesses, and, indeed, the whole . cries of complaints that arise from impurity t the blood. Minute reports cf individual cases may lc found in Avlk's Ajieiuca.v Almanac, which is furnished to the drugghts for pratuitous distribution, wherein may bo 'earned the directions for its use, and Eome . f the remarkable cures which it lias made vhen all other remedies bad failed to afford s cliff. Thure tases are purposely taken irom all sections of the country, in order ihat every reader may have access to some .ne who can speak to lam of its benefits from personal experience. Scrofula depresses tho ital enercicp, ni:d thus leaves its victims far more tuhject to disease and its fatal results iian mo healthy constitutions. Hence it t.nds to shorten, and does greatly shorten, tl.o average duration of human life. The vast importance of these considerations lias led us to spc ml years in perfecting a remedy which is adequate to it3 cure. This we now ' Her to the public iu.iIit the name of Avr.it's IrAHSAPAiiiLLA, although it is (imposed of ingredients, some of which exceed the best . f Sarsaparilta in alterative power. 13y its ..id you may protect yourself from the sutler ing and danger of these disorders.

We know the public have been deceived by many compounds of Sariafarila, that promised much and did nothing; but they will neither bo deceived nor disappointed in iliis. Its virtues have been proven by abun dant trial, and there remains no question of us surpassing excellence for the cure of tho (.fflicting diseases it is intended to reach. Although under the same name, it is a very 'ifl'crent medicine from any other which has i cen before tho people, and is far more ef ' .ctual than any other which has ever been i vailallc to them.
