THE IMPoRrASeE OF PUNcrUAroN. But few
people. comparatively speaking, are aware OF the
value of punctuation: but in some cases pont
here or there alters the whole meaning of the sen
tencs and occasionally actually reverses it. This
last Is well illustrated by tho following,

towards that fatal disease, Consumption, can be
entirely restored by this pleasant remedy. This
Sarsaparilla is far superior 10 any hUigOrating e

The great beauty and superiority ofthis Sarsa
parilla over all other medicines is, that while it
eradicates the disease, it invgortes the body. 1t
is one Of the very best SPRING AND SUMMER
MEDICINES ever known; it not only purifes the
whole system, and strengthens the person, but it
creates new, pure and rich Jlood: a power pos
sessed by no other medicine. Aud in this lies
the grand secret of its wonderful success Ithas
performed within the last five years, more than
100 900 cures of severe cases of disease: at least
$4,000 were considered fncurable. 1t has saved
the lives of more than 5000 children during the
two past seasons.
