LIVER COMPLAINT AND SALT RHEUM.
. New York, 5uly 27, ls49.
Messrs. A. B. & D. Sands-G Gentlemen: 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
Sauaparilla. She was afflicted with severe Gu
taneous 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 fish, the hair fell out in largo
quantities, and walking caused the most excruca-
ting comics, as it affected the joints more severely
shan any Other part She suffered also a long time
from an affection OF the liver connected with gen
tra debility, and probation OF the nervous sys-
tenn Physicians, both In Europe and America
had exhausted the usual remedies, without Affect
ing a cure, or scarcely aliording relief; and the
best medical skill was unavailing, until she happi-
ly used your Sarsapara. The disease was pro
nonncod salt rheum, but her whole system, inter-
naly and externally, was altogether dcranged but
so complete has been the cure, after using the
Sarsaparilla for six weeks, and taking in oil less
than one dozen bottles. that she enjoys better
health than for years previous to taking the Sar-
saparia The object in making this communion
ton is that all who have suffered as she has, may
know where and to whom to apply for relief land
that not in vainl, as a complete cure will be the
result My wife uniies with me in heartfelt thanks
and believe me, gentlemen,
Yours sincerely,

FATAL AND MELANCHOLY ACCIDENT.
Few circumstances of the kind have
given US more regret and sorrow than
The death of William, the oldest son
of the late Judge Robert B. Alexan-
der, in the 18th year of his age. We
learn that on Sunday last whilst at
play with his companions, one of them
accidcntly struck him with small
piece of wire, which, penetrating his
brain just above his eye, caused his
death on Sunday night. The deceased
was an amiabIc, intelligent and prom
ising youth, universally beloved by his
young associates, and greatly priz d
by his older acquaintances for that
combination of good qualities so rarely
found in one Of his age. Sympathy,
we know, can bring but little comfort
to the sorrowtul, still it may soothe
some momentary pang OF mothers
heart to know that whole communi-
ty feel most deeply for her loss, and
would gladly, were it possible, mitigate
the anguish ofthis heavy bereavement.
