An EMPERoR AMONG SARsAPARILLA


for. Disease, and the most Remarkable Man
Of hs Age.-We have received the follow
!. ing from a physician fully competent to
give ar opinion upon the subject upon
which he writes:
|. For nearly twenty years DR.. JOHN BULL
has prepared for the benefit of the human
race Fluid Extract of Sarsaparilla, unri-
vailed in it, power to eradicate disease by
any other medicine known to the world
1t has long been admitted by the medical
world that there were specific virtues in a
genuine article of Honduras Sarsaparilla,
and that when. properly prepared, in con.
conjunction with other powerful! roots, it
would cure almost every .malady incident
to the human race. This fact has led hun
dreds ia engage in its preparation. But un-
fortunately for the public, most Of these
preparations, have been vile compounds,
containing little or none of the genuine
Honduras Sar.apafilla, and made by per-
sons having no knowledge Of disease, or
the true mode of extracting the virtues Of
the roots employed in the manufacture OF
the article.
The extensive sale of Dr. Bulls article
"a sale far exceeding that Of all the other
preparations pretending to be genuine
has induced him to locate himself in this
great commercial emporium. Phis city is
now tho central depot from which his medi-
cine is sent to every partof the Union.--
Compared to the article khown As "Tewn-
sends Sarsaparlla," the. sale Of which is
attempted to be revived, there is but one
opinion. You cannot make . good article
Of sarsaI arilla without years of experience.
About thirty years ago, DR., JoHs Bull,
then poor boy, camo to Louisville, Ken
tucky, and for some years was employed
by the most eminent physicians Of the
West, in the business of an apo,hecary.-
No young man had better opportunity to
learn the virtues Of the vegetable kingdom
in the removal, of disease, and the peculiar
: ity Of The. disc asesot the western country.
After this, he connected himself with one
otthe most celebrated physicians Of that
day,o who had been surgeonin in the grand
any Of Napoleon, who Nas celebrated for
the preparation of FtUIp EXTRACT OF
SARsArARiLLA From that time, DR. Bull
directed his attention 10 but one subject,
which was the manufacture Of the Best
CoMPoUSp EXTRACT OF SAKsAPARILLA
that ever had been, or could be produced
lie has succeeded So rapid was the in
crease of tKe sale OF his medicine, that eve
ry other preparation was regarded As spu-
rious. Hundreds OF the most Scientific
medical men acknowledged its virtues, and
until this day it stands unrivalled both in
this country in Europe.
Every bottle OF Sarsaparilla sold by him
is manufactured by his own hands, under
his direct supervision,and all the ingredients
are selected with care. Being hims,l.
one Of the most accomplished pharmaceu-
lists in the country, he needs not to en-
ploy others, or purchase the uso o. their
names to endorse his medicine, as is done
by some Of those who pretend to sell good
article Of Sarsaparilla. You cannot long
delude the people with worthless medi-
cine mere mixture OF molasses and
cheap roots Of no medicinal virtues.
We regard DR.. Bull as the only manu-
facturer Of genuine extract of Sarsapari'-
Ia IN this country, 'oriu any other, and one
who is doing more to alleviate the sick than
tho whole combined fraternity Of madeline
venders. lie is a man Of science, whose
whole active life has been spent in study
ing disease and in discovering remedy.
lie looks down with PEI tect disgust.upon
all those pretended benelactors of our race,
who, when they fail to mike an honest liv-
ing in the business in which they are on,
gagged, step from behind merchants desk
or from the work shop, and become pillmak-
ers or sarsaparilla manufacturers.
The life OF DIR. Bull has been steadily
devoted to his profession. He left repu-
tstion behind him in Louisville not excsll-
ed by that Of any man in the West He
saw that this great commercial city was
broader theatre for his usefulness, linked rs
It is to every section of the country by nat
ural and artificial channels Of communica-
ton, by its commerce and capital, here
should be the central point irom which he
could send his inestimable medicines
throughout the Union, TO PURIFY THE
BLOOD OF THE NATION, and restore them to
health when disease fastens upon the sys-
TEN.
We speak from experience; as we have
tried the effects Of the FLUID EXTRACT OF
SAssArARILLA, prepared by Mr.. Bull, and
have the testimony sfssyersl eminent ply.

tics. The theory ofits operation In tho
removal Of disease. and why il is that II 10
