TIME subscribers having purchased of DR.
Il THOMAS CoRBEr the exclusive right for
the sale of his Syrup of Sarsaparilla, now offer
the same TO the public under testimonials, as
TO its efficacy, of the highes st character. This

following diseases Chronic Inflammation of
the Digestive Orgnns-Dyspcpsia or Indiges.
Weakness and Soreness of
the Stomach-Salt Reconsideration Disor.
ders of the Liver-Chronic Eruptions of the
Skin, and all Scrofulous Diseases. The won
derful efficacy of this Syrup is attested by hum
dreds who have seen and felt the virtue of its
sanntive power. 1t is a laxative, diuretc, tom
ic and greatly dlterGtiue, and is prepared from
the best and most virtuous alternatives of the
known vegetable kingdom. 1t is n medicine
perfectly safe to be taken at any time, produc-
ing quietly, but eifectually, the most signal
cures.

"The Compound Syrup of Sarsaparilla, as
prepared by DR. Corbett, of the Shaker Society,
Canterbury, N. H., the committee have care
fully examined. 1t comes sustained by the
names of the most distinguished Physicians in
the country. And from n knowledge of its
component parts, the committee cannot but
express their full belief as to its efiicncious
qualities. The ingredients entering into its
composition are of such highly useful and
Alternative character, the committee will
lingly pronounce it to be the BEST preparation
of Sarsaparilla yet known. And as such think
it deserving of diploma. Signed by

Boston Medical and Surgical Journal"
and others. Further testimonials to almost an
unlimited extent, as to the virtues of this med
cine, can be given; but the proprietors deem
them not necessary to be presented. They pre-
fer the preparation should be tested and judg.
ed by its own merits, and with confidence thus
place it before the public.

The ertent ofiand necessary for Il farm, and suf-
ficient to support n family well and indepen-
IDENTIFY" has the following among other valu-
nble remarks:-"We know men, active, intel
ligent aud industrious, possessed of 80 or 40
acres Of land, who are laboring for others or
taking charge of their neighbors' concerns,
upon the nvowed reason. that they cannot
support their families on so small an extent
Ofland. But they do not realize the actual eff
cheney of The soil. Undoubtedly there are
many honorable exceptions to the observa-
ton we arc about TO make; as n general thing
however, il may he asserted, that The farmers
Of Massachusetts are get TO learn The immense pro-
thtctiUe pooer Of a perfectly cultivated acre. In
slead of seeking riches in augmenting the
number ofther acres, let them be sought in
better modes of husbandry AS n general
truth, VIC believe that it may be asserted, that
every farmer in Massachusetts, possessed of
one hundred acres ofand, might divide them
fairly, by quantity and quality, into thirds,and
Ivy suitable cultivation make either third
more productive than his whole hundred a.
cres are at present. This is the operation at
which those interested in the agriculture Of
Massachusetts ought to aim, to make farmers
realize what cultivation can effect, and to
feach the modes by which the productive
power oflhe soil can best bo elected"

The proprietor has such confidence in these
Pills, that he would say to all persons who
may purchase box of them, that if, after TAX
ing one or two doses in accordance with direc-
tions they should not be satisfied with them
the money paid will be refunded, or the charge
for the same cancelled, by returning the box
in useable condition, with the remainder of
the Pills. Agents selling them requested
to conform to this rule.
If you or your fam ,.y have been in the habit
of using pills, try them, and you will find them
as good, if not better in many respects, than
any you have ever used before. Do not say to
yourself, l should be glad to buy box of
them, but there are so many kinds before the
public already, some recommended for one
thing, others for another, and the rest for eve
ry thing, that have no confidence in any of
them, believing them all to be made for specu-
lative purposes. Without doubt, many pro-
prietory medicines are too highly recomme nd =
ed, and made merely for speculation. All this
may be; but these Pills will be found to answer
as general thing, the purposes for which they
are designed.
Try them and see for yourself, if you do
not like them, return the box with the remain
der of the pills and they will cost you moth
ing. Call for Masta's Pills and see that the
name is on the box.

A Curious Fact, If II be a Fact-A

correspondent Of one of the Cincinnati
appers states that the Buena Vista hattle-
field is still covered with homes, coats.
pants, shoes, and knapsacks, &c. And
what is most singular Of all is, that few
Mexicans who weIe left unburied are still
on the battlefield entire. Neither putrefac.
ton nor the wolves prey upon them. but
they are dried up like mnmmlcs. The only
way he has heard il explained is, that the
Mexicans cal so such pepper that il pre-.
serves their bodies from putrefac,ion, and
at the same time apoils ,hom for the taste
Of wolves. Certainly they do no. decay.
aud The wolves win not prey upon them.
