succeeding day some-new problem is solved,
or some profound secret revealed, having an
important and direct bearing over mans high
est destinies. IF we take retrospective view
over the past twenty years, how Is the mind
struck with wonder! What rapid strides has
science made in every department ofetgilWed
life particularly in that which relates 10 the
human system in health and disease. How
valuable and indispensable are the curative
means recently discovered through the agency
Of chemistry How does the Imagination
kindle and our admiration glow at the ingenu-
ity, the near approach to the standard OF per-
lection, of the present time Through the
elaborate Investigations Of Physiology, or the
science of LrrE, 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 oftbe system, remedies have been sought
after and discovered exactly adapted to COM
bine with, nentralize and expel morbific mat
ter, the cause Of disease, and substitute heal
thy action in It's place. The beautiful sitnpli-
city Of this mode Of treatment Is not only s1g-
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 reasonings Of
every intelligent, rejecting mind. II is thus
that SANS SAns4PAu1ILA, a scientific combs
nation of essential principles of the most va
liable vegetable substances, operates upon
the system. The Sarsaparilla Is combined
with the most ~etTectual aids, the mosta salutry
productions, the most potent Simples Of the
vegetable kingdom and its unprecedented
success in the restoration to health Of those
who had long pinned under the most distress
ing chronic maladies, has given ii an exalted
character, furnishing as II does evidence Of
its own intrinsic value, and recommending il
to the afflicted in terms the afflicted only can
know. II has long been a most important de-
3ideratum in the practice of medicine TO
to obtain a remedy similar TO this-one that
would act on the liver, stomach and bowels
with all the precision and potency Of mineral
preparations, yet without any of their deleteri-
Gus effects upon the vital powers of the sys-
tenn.
The attention Of the reader is respectfully
called to the following certificates. However
great achievements have heretofore been
made by the use Of this invaluable medicine,
yet daily experience shows results still more
remarkable. The proprietors here avail them
selves of the opportunity Of saying it is a
source of constant satisfaction that they are
made the means Of relieving such an amount
of suffering.

MesSrS. Sands Gent-Words cannot ex-
press the gratitude ! feel for your treatment
to me, a stranger suffering under one of the
most loathsome diseases thai nature is capa-

such as 10 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
sufferings were beyond description, | tried va
rious remedies and consulted different physi-
clans in Ncw-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
fensiye 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
Panecea freely, which ! did without
deriving little benefit. "For three years / was
unable to raise my hand to my head, to comb
my hair, and the s~crofula now made its ap-
on my head, destroying the bone in
different places, causing extensive alterations

remedies were recommended, but they did no
