Sarsaparilla and Tomato Bitters.

SarSaparllla ana OmatO BllterS.
FREDERlCK BROWN, celebrated
4 chemist OF Boston, has succeeded for
the first time in combining the medicinal
virtues Of the SARsAPARlLLA and TOMATO.
And the result has met the most sanguine
expectations of the medical profession. The
whole vegetable kingdom does not furnish
two substances so admirably adapledto pa-
TiJy nowiSh and invigorate the human sys-
tenn. These Bllters have all the effect u
the most powerful purgaliVes when used In
sufficient quantity, and yet are so mid In
their operation that they may be given TO
persons in the most delicate health with per-
feet safety. They are very agreeable 10 the
taste.
The component ingredient ofthese Bitters
is no secret.-They are composed Of very
strong preparation Of the celebrated extract
of Spanish Sarsaparilla and the extract of
Tomatoes, with the addition Of some Of the
most popular vegetable medicines the coun.
try affords.
The true means of preserving the Health
and Strength is to purify the blood and cor
rect the unhealthy state OF the Bowels. For
this purpose no Medicine has been found e
MA " tAS RalsdpdliIld anu AoiliaIo DlI-
Lers.
These excellent bitters will be found a
certain cure in all cases Of indigestion or
dyspepsia, jaundice, loss of appetite, general
debility, faintness aud Sinking Of the Stom>
ach, lowness Of spirits, costlveness, deter
minalion Of the blood to the head, pain in the
limbs and side, diarrhma, weakness, dizzi-
ness, culaneous eruptions on the face and
neck, hectic fever, night sweats, nervous and
sick headache, acidity Of stomach, bilious
affections, piles, costiveness, and in all dis
eases caused by impurity Of the blood, ithe
debility of the system, or the unhealthy state
of the Stomach and bowels.
They are also exceedingly efiicacious i'll
restoring constitutions broken down by sed-
entary employment, and have been exten
sively used by clergymen, editors, printers,
clerks, seamstresses, and numerous others
whose health had been injured by confine-
ment and close application, with he happi-
est results. They restore the action Of the
stomach, increase the quality of the blood,
and imparts TO the wan and emaciated sys-
TEN fthe invalid the vigor and glow Of true
health.
These Bitters are warranted to be pure
ly Vegetable compound - and mark this,
I57they can never do the least injury in a.
ny case whatever.=9e
They are kept by persons as a FAMILY
MEDICINE, and have been given 10 the
YOUNGEST CHILDREN. on account Of the mild.
ness of their operation, with excellent eff
feet.
The following are few of the many new
recommendations which have been sent to
the proprietor of BROWNS SARSAPA>
RILLA and TOMATO BITTERS within
short time. REMEMBER - Always
ask for Browns, as there are counterieits.

THE CIRCUS.

MEssRs. EplToRs As | conceive your pa.
per is established for the suppression of vice
and the promotion of virtue generally, | wish
to call the attention of the community to the
benefits conferred on them bv circus exhibi-
tons being licensed in this city. First. These
exhibitions draw large numbers Of our youth,
who use every devise to gain admittance, and !,
if defeated Ill every other way, some will steal
money in order TO gain admlltance 10 these
exciting scenes. Here the vile and the vulgar
are herded together, and the most obscene and
vulgar language made use Of for the edifca-
ton OF the more refined who visit these places
of refined amusement Many of the boys re.
main out all night, to the great distress OF their
parents, and injury of their morals. We'd
nesday evening seven strange boys might
have been seen on the Avenue from the age
of ten years TO sixteen, some crying. When
asked what was the matter, they answered
that they were induced to leave Baltimore
with the circus, and that now they were turn
ed off and had no means TO return. Some had
left widowed mother; others had both pa
rents living; one the son of respectable
store keeper in Old Town. What must have
been the feelings of these parents, of the wild
owed mother, when she learned that her son
had gone with these dverting vagabonds.
understand these people take boys with them
from every place they visit who they think
will make good musician. rider or tumbler
without the consent Of parents or any one
else. Secondly. The large amount of money
taken out of the city by these vile exhibitions
MANY take their whole families TO these exhi
bons who owe their baker and grocer bills
of long standing. There are many other rea
sons that might be brought forward agains
the circus but lei these suffice Five OF the
bows above alluded to were taken home b,
our benevolent fellow citizen, Mr.. ID. Caggett
and sent heme by the cars this morning at hi,
expense. Thus are our citizens not only taxed
TO support these vagabonds, but also taxed tc
send bows home that are induced 10 come tc
