This GRAND AND UNEQUALLED PREP
AR ALTON is manufactured on the largest scale,
and ia called for throughout the length and
breadth OF the land, especially it is found in
capable Of degeneration or deterioration.
Unlike young S.P. Townsend's, it improves
with age. and never changes but FOR the better;
because II IS prepared ON scientific principles by
q Scientific man, The highest knowledge Of
Chemistry, and the latest discoveries OF tae art,
have all been brought into requistion In the
sfacture Of the Oh Dr's SarsaparIla. The
saparil!a root, II is well known To medical men,
contains many medicinal properties, and some
properties which are inert or useless, and others,
which II retained il preparing it for use, produce
fermentation and acid, WHICH IS injurious To the
system. Some of the properties Of sarsaparilla
are 90 rolGftie inat they entirely evaporate and
are lost in the preparation, if they are not pre-
experienced in lis Manufacture. Moreover, these
roIufiie principles, which fly off IN yapor, or
an exhalatiou under heat, are the very ESSENTIAL
medical properties Of the root, which give TO II
all its value.
Any person can boil stew the root Til they
get dark colored liquid, which - more from the
colorng matter m the root than from anything
else; the, can then strain this inspid vapld H.

This is 50 prepared that oil the inert properties
OF the sarsapar.iia roo, first removed, every
thing capable q! becoming acid OF fermentation Is
extracted ard rejected, then every particle Of
medical vlrtae is secured IN pure aud concen
uated form; and thus it is rendered incapable of
losing any OF ITS valuable and healing properties.
Prepared in this way, il is made the most power

Cure of innumerable Diseases.
