kindle and our admiration glow at the ingenu-
ity, the near approach TO the standard oil per-
lection, of the present time! Through the
elaborate Investigations OF PHYSIOLOGY. or the
science of L,rE, and the Pathology of preva-
lent diseases, much valuable or practical
knowledge has been gained. In consequence
Of becoming acquainted with the organization
the elements of the various tissues and struc-
lures Of the system, remedies have been sought
after and discovered exactly adapted to COM

thy action in its place. The beautiful simpli-
city of this mode of treatment is not only sug-
gested by the pathology Of diseases, not only
grateful to the sufferer, but perfectly IN con-
sonance with the operations Of Nature, and
satisfactory to the views and reaSonlnSs OF
every intelligent, rejecting mind. 1t is thus
that SAWS SARsaFARILLA, n scientific combi-
nation of essential principles OF the most va
liable vegetable substances, operates upon
the system. The Sarsaparilla is combined
with the most ~efIectual aids, the mosta s2lutry
productions, the most potent simples OF the
vegetable kingdom and its unprecedented
success in The restoration to health OF those

made the means of relieving such an amount
of suffering.

= Nessrs. Sands: Gent-Words cannot ex-
press the gratitude | feel for your treatment
to me, a stranger suffering under one of the
most loathsome diseases that nature is capa-
bic of bearing. The disease with which I
was afflicted commenced with inflammation of
the eyes, in the year 1896. which caused al
most total blindness. For this was treated
and finally relieved, but the remedies were
such as to cause the development OF a scrof-
ulous affection on my left arm near the elbow.
The pain extended from the shoulder to
the end of my fingers, and for two years my
suferings were beyond description, Tried va
rious remedies and consulted different physi-
clans in New-York and amongst them the late
DR.. Bushe, who told me the disease of the arm
was caused by the large quantity mercury ta-
ken to cure the inflammation of my eyes.
My sufferings continued, the arm enlarged,
tumors formed in different places, and in a
few months discharged, making ten running
ulcers at one time, some above and some be-
low the elbow, and the discharge was so Of
fensive that no person could bear to be in the
room where / was-I then applied to another
distinguished physician who told me amputa-
ton of the arm was the only thing that could
save my life, as it was impossible to cure so
dreadful a disease; but as | was unwilling to
consent to it he recommended me to use
Swaim's Panecea freely, which | did without
deriving little benefit. 'For three years was
unable to raise my hand to my head, to comb
nv hair, and the scrofula now made its APP
pearance on my head, deotroying the bone in
different places, causing extensive alterations
and | feared it might reach and destroy the
brain-the head swelled very much, accom-
panied with violent pain, numerous external
remedies were recommended, but they did no
good.-About a year since | was taken Sc
verely i'll with a swelling of the body from
head to foot, so that | was entirely helpless,
the Doctor advised me to go to the Hospital,
for he did not understand my case; for the
last few months | had been afflicted with a
severe pain in both sides, at times so hard |
could scarcely get my breath. A hacking
cough constantly annoyed me-, and this COM
bined with my other maladies, rendered me
truly miserable. Such, gentlemen, had been
my situation for seven years of my life when
| commenced the use Of your Sarsaparilla,
but as my case considered hopeless, and the
near prospect of speedy dissolution seemed
inevitable, felt but little encouragement to
perSevere. The persuasion of friends induced
me to try your medicine, which in a few days
produced a great change in my system gene
rally, by causing an appetite, relieving the
pains, and giving me strength; as success in
spires confidence, l was encouraged to perse-
we're, my pains. grew easier, my strength re-
turned, food relished, the ulcers healed, new
flesh formed, and I once more felt within me
that | might get we'll. / nave now used the
S~arsapariffa about two months and am like a
being. The arm that UGs to be am |

the evidence of my own eyes, but such is the |
and it is now as at any period of my

has been for years past.

it came to me when | had given up to die. |
and as | feel the pulsations of health courslng |
