J. OR truth is mighty, that Dr. Leidy's SARSAPA-
RILLA is the purest, strongest, and most efcacious
of any other preparation of Sarsaparla that is made
1t is warranted TO be stronger than six bottles of
most Others stronger than four of some and stronger
than three of the strongest prepared by any other in
the United States.
DR.. Leidy's Sarsaparilla is recommended by all
respectable physicians in preference to any other.
Ali who have ever used it have derived benefit
from one bottle than three to ten of others and
those who, after having used other preparations with
out benefit, will use DR.. Leidy's, will soon be con-
WINGED as thousands have already been) of the fore
going assertion.
The apparatus with which DR.. Leidy's extracts,
used in his preparation of Sarsaparlla prepared is
the only one in the United States, imported by DR..
Leidy himself, from the celebrated house of Peleter
& Caventou, in Paris, at great expense and is
pable of extracting the medicinal virtues Of Sarsa-
parilla and other roots etfectuay than by any
other process.
AS several hundred certificates of remarkable
cures, and recommendations from clergymen and
physicians have been from time to time published
different papers, is only thought necessary to keep
the public acquainted as to where DR.. Leidy's Sar-
saparia can be be obtained genuine, namely, at Dr.
Liedy's Health Emporium, 1911 north Second street,

of being neglected and summed, to avoid that dis

his hearers How sacred duty, therefore, il is
that we use all necessary means to remove such an
affection, and enjoy the social qualities implanted in
our natures! This EAR OIL has the effect so to re-
lieve the tension and bring into the natural action

afflicted with cancer in this breast, and for four
years it was, as thought, ncurable; it spread very
fast, that it had nearly covered the whole breast
and for many weeks was reduced with the loss
Of blood and the pain of the wound, that was I'M
able to turn myself in bed and my suferings during
the whole winter were more than can tell With
the advice of my friends, illed two of the most
eminent physicians Of the place, who recommended
your preparation of Sarsaparila, knowing of nothing
that would be as likely to help me; which advice
readily received, and before had taken one bottle,
found change in my feelings which induced me to
take more, and when had taken the third bottle, |
was like another person both in health and strength
have taken your preparation since last March, and
although the wound is not entirely healed it is in
very favorable state, and believe it will be the
means, ultimately, of my entire cure and that the
afflicted may all find the relief which it alone can
give, is the wish of their and your friend,

DUELLINO --As soon as il was known
that Col. Polk was nominated as the
democratic candidate Tor the Presidency, !,
il wss reported through the whig presses
that he was duelliSt; and share Of the
odium which had been attached TO their
candidate for the same Office, was thus
sought to be diverted TO an innocent par
son. Proof oi the truth Of their charge
was called for. but nohe could be pre-
duce ed, and they we're obliged to make a
virtue Of necessity, and acknowledge its
falsily.
Col. Polk is not only entirely free from
all the immOnlitieS and Objectionable
qualities which characterize the federal
candidate, but be iS also distinguished
for his poliIiss consistency and intsgri,
ty, and bis irrsProachsbls moral charac'
ter He has long been an exemplary
member of the Methodist Episcopal
church, and aIegulAr attendant upOn d.

as have been brought against him will
rebound with rsdOubled force against
those who make them.
