Prepare for Summcr-Now is the time to
purify and brace the physical system SO as to en-
able it to bear up against the enervating heats of
Summer. The condition of the blood at the ex-
piration of winter, owing to inactive perspiraten
during that season and from other causes, is not
in proper state to resist disease, nor are the d.
gestive powers, which are generally over taxed by
the appetite in cold weather, in their full vgor-
II fact change in the state of the animal ma
chine to meet a new climate, is as necessary as
change of clothing. TO purge from the blood its
unhealthy particles, and impart to it more nu-
tritivc character to give tone to the stomach and
expel distractions from the bowel-in short, to
reinforce the whole system for the campaign of
Summer, there is no preparation so eficacious as
Sands Sarsaparilla.

Pleuri$y is caused by the corrupt humors of
the blood being deposited on the membrane or in
side lining of the breast, called the Peura, produ.
cling Inflammation of the parts, violent pricking
pain in one of the sides, among the ribs frequent
cough, &c. In order to cure this dreadful COM
plant, five or six of Nright's Indian Vegetable
Pills must be Immediately taken, and the same
dose repeated every six or eight hours, until the
pain and difficulty of breathing has subsided-
This course, if closely followed up, will in short
time completely rid the body from those morbid
humors which are the cause Of all kinds of infam-
nation and pain, and will almost assuredly make
speedy, safe, and certain cure of Pleurisy.
Beware of Counterfeits of all kinds! Some are
coated with sugar others made to resemble
in outward appearance the original medicine
The safest is, to purchase of the regular
gents only, one or more of whom may be found
in every village and town in the State. Principal
