Improvement IN whatever regards the hap
piness and welfare of our race is constantly
on the march to perfection, and with each
succeeding day some new problem is solved,
or some profound secret revealed, having an
important and direct bearing over mans high
est destiniCs. II we take a retrospective view
over the past twenty years, how is the mind
struck with wonderi What rapid strides has
science made in every department of civilized
life !! particularly in that which relates to 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-
fiction, of the present time! Through the
elaborate Investigations of Physiology, or the
science Of LIFE, 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 aud struc-
lures Of the system, remedies have been sought
after and discovered exactly adapted to COM
bine with, neutralize and expel morbiie mat
ter, the cause Of disease, and substitute heal
thy action in its place. The beautiful simpli-
city Of this mode Of treatment is not only sig-
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. 1t is thus
that SANDS SAHsAFARILLA, n scientific Combi-
nation OF essential principles of the most va
liable vegetable substances, operates upon
the system. TIL Sarsaparilla is combined
with the most ~efFectual 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
10 the afflicted in terms the afflicted only can
know. II has long been a most important de-
yideratum in The practice of medicine to
to obtain a remedy similar to this-one that
would act Onsthe 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-
TEN.
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.
NEWARK, N. j., Dec. ID, 1842.
MessrS. Sands Gent-Words cannot ex-
press the gratitude / feelfoE 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 |
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 deyelopement Of a scrof-
uIouS 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 New-York and amongst them the late
Bushe, who told me the disease of the arm
was caused by the large quantity mercury ia
to cure the inflammation of my eyes.
My suiferings continued, the arm enlarged,
formed in different places, and in a
months discharged, making ten running
ulcers at one time, some above and some be-
the elbow, and the discharge was so of
rensive that no person could bear to be in the

distinguished physician who told me amputa-
of the arm was the only thing that could
