For the Removal and Permanent Cure
of all Diseases arising from an Im-
pure state Of the Blood, or Habit
of the system.

Among The many and important discoveries
Of this generation,is is one whose fame will be
written, as with sunbeam, in the history of
the past. Sands Sarsaparilla stands forth
alone, and by its own works preclaims its pow
er--that mute eloquence SO rIesistably Affect
ing in the appeals Of the suffering for relif, has
been answered Thousands Of eases of dis
ease have been cured by this invaluable medi-
cine, such as are not furnished in the records
Of time. These things are not done in secret
places, or in some unknown town, but are per-
formed in our principal cities and public places.
They are brought before the world TO sub
stantiate beyond doubt, the healing pirtues OF
this preparation.; and the facts uniolded, al
though gigantic, are as plainas the light o
day. .H
The Sarsaparilla is combined with the most
effectual aids, the most salutafy productions,
the most potent simples Of the vegetable
kingdom aud its unprecedented success in
the restoration 10 health Of those who had
| long pined under th most distressing chronic
maladies, has given it an exalted character
furnishing, as it does, evidence of its own in-
trinsic value and recommending it to the af-
flictea in terms the afflicted only can know.
| 1t has long been most important desideatum
in the practice of medicine, to obtain remedy
similar TO this--one that would act on the
iper, stomach, and bO,bles with al the precision
and potency of mineral preparations, yet
| without any of their deleLerious effects npon
the vital powers of the system. although
possessed Of powerful healing properties, 1T is
entirely harmless, and wall not injure the most
delicate constitution. When IN perfect health,
no effect is produced by its use, except an in
crease Of appetite but when disease is seated
in the frame, and carrying fast its victim along
the path of life, then its my mysterious influence
is felt and seen ); it enkindes new life and
vgor. and brings health and strength to the
suffering and diseased.

A. B. d ID. Sands-GENTLEd ZEN: would
not have presumed to write to you, ii it was
not my duty to let the public know the al
most miraculous effect your Sarsaparilla has
had upon me. My limbs were covered with
ulcerous sores, SO that could not walk during
the whole Spring and Summer. In this situa-
ton, commenced the use Of your Sarsaparil.
la, and after taking two bottles was entirely
cured. / must also tell you Of another won
derrul cure. My brother was afflicted with
this scfofula in his head, so bad his physician
told him the locs Of his sight was inevitable,
and permanent blindness seemed 10 be his fate,
Three bottles entirely restored mis- sight, and
we cannot but recommend all similarly aftiict-
ed 10 use Sands Sarsaparilla.
Yours truly, BENZ. +. BUCKNER.
