70 perfection, aud with each succeeding day some
new probfem Is solved, or some profound secret re-
veaied, having an important and direct bearing
over mans highest destinies. Ii we take a retro
spective 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
knowledge Of the human system in health aud dis
ease. How valuable and Indispensable are the GU
rative means recently discovered through the agen-
cy ofchemistry How does the imagination kindle
and our admiration glow at the ingenuity, the near
approach to the standard Of perfection, Of The present
time Through the elaborate Investigations of
Physiology, or the science Of LIFE, and the Pathol-
ogy of prevalent diseases, much valuable 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
ize aud expel morbific 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 10 the sufferer, but perfectly in con-
sonance with the operations of Nature, and salts
factory TO the views and reasonings of every intel
ligent, rejecting mind. Ii is thus that SANDS
SARsAPARILLA, a scientific combination Of essential
principles ofthe most valuable vegetable substances,
operates upon the system. The Sarsaparilla Is
combined with the most ~effectual aids, the most
salutary productions, the most potent simples of the
vegetable kingdom and its unprecedented success
in the restoration to those who had long pinned un-
der the most distressing chronic maladies, has CIV
en- II an exalted character, furnishing as II does ev-
idenee Of its own intrinsic value, and recommending
il TO the afflicted in terms the afflicted only can
know. IL has long been a most important desidera-
tum in the practice of medicine 10 obtain a remedy
similar to this-one that would act on the liver,
stomach and bowels with all the decision and poen-
cy OF mineral preparations, yet without any of their
deleterious effects upon the vital powers of the
system.

ments have heretofore been made by the use of this
invaluable medicine, yet daily experience shows re-
suits still more remarkable. The propTietoTs here
avail themselves of the opportunity Of saying it is a
source of constant satisfaction that they are made
the means of relieving such an amount OF suffer-

NEWARK, N. J., Dec. Is, Is42.
Messrs. Sands. Gent.-WorGs cannot express the
gratitude | feel for your treatment 10 me, a stranger
suffering under one Of the most loathsome diseases
that nature is capable of bearing. The disease
with which | was afflicted commenced with infiam-
nation Of the eyes, in the year 1886, which caused
almost total blindness. For this | was treated and
finally relieved, but the remedies was such as to
cause the deyelopement of a scrofulous 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. l tried various remedies
and consulted different Physicians in New York,
and amongst them the late DR.. Bushe, who told me
the 0lEedSe oil the arm was CduSco by the large
quantity ofmercury taken to cure the I~nhammatio
of my eyes. sl
nv sufferings continued, the arm enlarged, tu-
mors formed in different places, and in a few months
discharged, making ten running ulcers at one time
some above and some below the elbow, and the dis
charge was so offensive that no person could bear TO
be in the room where | was.-l then applied TO an
other distinguished Physician who told me amputa
ton of the arm was the only thing that could save
my life, as it was impossible 20 cure so dreadful a
disease but as | was unwilling to consent to it he
recommended me 10 use Swaim's Panacea freely,
which 1 did without deriving but little benefit
uFor three years | was unable TO raise my hand to
my head OF comb my HAIR, and the scrofula now
made its appearance on my head, destroying the
bone in different places, causing extensive ulcera-
tons, and | feafd it might reach and destroy the
brain-the head swelled very much, accompanied
with violent pain, numerous external remedies
were recommended, but they did no good-Aboul
a year since l was taken severely i'll with a swelling
of the body from head to foot, SO that l was entirely
helpless, the Doctor advised me to go TO the hospital,
for he did not understand my case for the last
few months J. had been afflicted with a severe pain
on both sides, at times so hard l could scarcely gel
breath. Attacking cough constantly annoyed me,
and this combined with my other maladies, rendered
me truly miserable Such, gentlemen, had been
nv situation for seven years OF my life when
commenced the use of your Sarsaparilla, but as my
case was considered hopeless, and the near prospect
Of a speedy dissolution seemed inevitable, felt bu
little encouragement to pcrseyere. The persuasion

in a few days produced a great change in my sys

pains, and giving me strength; as success inspires
confidence, 1 was encouraged TO Persevere, my
mains grew easier, my strength returned, food rel
ished. The ulcers healed, new flesh formed, and
once more felt within me that l might get well.
