extended. 1t is approved and highly recommend
ed by physicians, and admitted to be the most
powerful and searching preparation from the root,
that has ever been employed in medical practice.
Its operation extends to the Temotest parts Of the
system, and consists in removing diseased action

Nature seldom effects, unassisted, the cure Of any
vrulent disease but requires the aid of a stimulant
Alternative, or aniiseptc medicine, In diseases Of

classes of medical agents is highly desirable. All
these properties are combined in this preparation
and instead Of operating successfully upon the
system, as they must necessarily do when taken
separately, they operate simultaneously, and in
perfect harmony when administered in this form.
Its tonic property strengthens the digestion, and
improves the appetite. Its altefdtive tendency
carries of the accumulations of morbid matter /;

LIVER COMPLAINT AND SALT RHEUM.

New York, July 27, ls49.
Messrs. A. 3. & D. Sands-Gentemen: Words
can but feebly express my feelings, in conveying
the pleasing intelligence that my wife is restored
to perfect health by the use OF your invaluable
SaIaparilla. She was afflicted with severe Gu
laneous disease that covered the whole surface of
the body, so that it would have been impossible
to touch any part that was free from the humor
the head face and body were covered with scales
like those of a fish; the hair fell out in large
quantities, and walking caused the most excrueia-
ting agonies, as it affected the joints more severely
than any other part. She suffered also a long limo
from an affection or the liver, connected with gen
tral debility, and prostraton OF the nervous sys

had exhausted the usual remedies, without affect.
ing a cure, or scarcely aifording relief; and the
best medical skill was unavailing, until she happ;-
ly used yoII . saparilla. The disease was pro-
nounced salt rheum, but her whole system, inter
naly and externally, was altogether deranged :; but
50 complete has been the cure, after using the
SarsapaHla for six weeks, and taking in ali less
than one dozen bottles, that she now enioys better
health than for years previous to taking the Sar-
saParilla. The object in making this commun:ca-
ton is, that ell who have suffered as she has, NAV
know where and TO whom to apply for reief tand
that not in vainl, as a complete cure will be the
result. My wife unites with me in heartfelt thanks
and believe me, gentlemen,

THE EDINBURGH REVIEW

is the exponent of the Wing party in Great Britain,
having from its commencement advocated Freedom
and the rights of the people. When the war, aP.
parentlY Of determination, was waged against
France by British Tory rulers, and during which
occurred the second great struggle of England
with our own country, this Review FIRST unfured
the flag of resistance, made by its unanswerable
and eloquent appeals in behalf of inaienable rights
the halls of legislation and even the throne itself
to uemble. The graphic and stirring dcleneations
Of those events presented in the pages of that dis
tingushed Journal exhibit the truest portraiture Of
those perious days to be found, perhaps, in the
language. It's influence was becoming so apparent
that at length the leaders of the Tory party, al
whom the thunders of its eloquence were especial
ly directed, found it too powerful instrument to
be resisted by ordinary means, and hence they es.
tablished the Quarterly" or it is distinguished

THE NORTH BRITISH REVIEW.

The NORIH BRITISH REVIEW,
is work Of more recent origin than those already
deseHbe1-but is, nevertheless, destined to occupy
as prominent place in the Republic of Letters.
The great ecclesiastical movement in Scotland
led to its establishment, There was no Journal in
the United Kingdom, which appeared to meet the
necessities of the Anti Naionsl- Church agitation.
Indeed, the revolution caused by The disruption
induced new state Of things, placing the actors
in new positions of observation: nor could they
give utteranee to their perceptions Of State and
Church Poliey-tbeiT new symOthies-ther new
emotions, without some organ of thought than any
hen extant. Hence the spontaneous agreement Of
the great master minds among them, in the neces
sity Of new outlet Of opinion, and the immediate
creation Of the North British Review. The basis
OF this Journal is the Evangelism ofthe Nineteenlh
century nor is it to be overlooked as one of the
striking characteristics OF the times, and the grand
principle which Robertson, Smith. and many Of
the eminent men ofSeotand took the field a csntu-
~ ago to write down, is now advocated and vim.
