Improvement in whatever regards the happiness
and welfare OF our race is constantly on the march
TO perfection, and with each succeeding day some
new problem is solved, some profound secret re-
. vealed, having an important and direct bearing
over mans highest destinies. II we take retro
spective view over the past twenty years, how is
the mind struck with wonder What rapid strides
has science made in every departments ~ civilized
life particularly in that which r,ateJ 10 the
knowledge of the human system ~ health and dis
ease How valuable and Indispensable are the Gu
ratve means recently discovered through the ager

and our admiration glow at the Ingt nuiiy, the near
approGch the standard Of percc If he present
time Through the elaborate Investigations Of
Physiology, the science of LIfK, and ;hc Pathol-
ogy of prevalent Diseases much va liable practical
knowledge has been gained. In consequence of
becoming acquainted with the organization the ele
ments Of the various tissues and structure of the
system, remedies have been sought after and dis
covered exactly adapted to combine with, neutral
ze and expel morbifc matter, the cause of disease
and substitute healthy action in its place. The
beautiful simplicity Of this mode Of treatment is not
only suggested by the pathology of diseases, not
only grateful to the sufferer, but perfectly in con-
sonance with the operations of Nature, and salts

SARsAPARILLA, scientific combination of essential
principles of the most valuable vegetable substances,
operates upon the system. The Sarsapara is
combined with the most efectual aids, the most
salutary productions, the most potent smpes OF the
vegetable kingdom and its unprecedented success
in the restoration to those who had long Pined I'M
der the most distressing chronic maadies, has Civ
it an exalted character, furnishing as it does ev
idence of its intrinsic value, and recommending
it to the afflicted in terms the afflicted only can
know. 1t has long been most important desidera-
tum in the practice of medicine TO obtain a remedy
similar to this--une that would act the liver,
stomach and bowels with all the decision and poten-
cy of mineral preparations yet without any Of their
deeterous effects upon the vital powers of the
system.

the following certificates. However great achieve
ments have heretofore been made by the use of this
invaluable medicine, yet daily experience shows re-
suits still more remarkable. The propretors here
avail themselves of the opportunity of saying it is
