misery would be prevented."

THE NUT of the SASSAFRAS TREE is not
only very hourishing and pleasant to the palate. but
ample experience has proved it to be more efficacious in cor-
leaihg the c.onstitut ion and purifying the blood than the Lis-
DOII Diet Drink, or Sarsaparilla.
People subject to eruptions of the skin, and such as are of
viouty, hilions, Asthmatic, or Consamptive Habits will. find
the Sass,dias Cocoa, a rnost i.t-valuable article of diet.
In the pz-riOdical works on Medicine it 3 extolled,
and its use is adopted by several eminent Physicians.
