SARSAPARTT,T.A,

nF all the remedies that have been discovered
~ during the present age for the s'thousand
ills thut flesh is heir to,'' none equal this won
defful preparation. Only three years have
elapsed since the discoverer (who spent de-
cade in studying, experimentalizing, and pre-
fecting it,) first introduced it to the public,
and II is already recognized by the most emf
nent physicians in all parts Of the country, to
be the most surprising and effective remedy for
certain diseases Of which they have knowledge.
All other compounds or syrups Of this root
have hitherto failed to command the sanction
of the faculty, because on being tested, they
have been found to contaia noxious ingredients
which neutralize the good effects of the Sarsap
arilla, oftentimes injure the health of the pa
tent. Il is not sowith Hurley's preparation.
This is the pure and genuine extract OF that
foot, and will, on trial. be found to effect per.
rect cure of the following complaints end dis
eases: 4
Affections of the Bones. Habitual Costiveness,
Debility. Indigestion,
Diseases Of the Kidneys, Liver Complaint,
Dyspepsia. Piles,
Erysipelas. Pulmonary Diseases,
Female Irregularities, Scrofuia or Kings Evil,
Fist,ila. Syphilis.
And all Skin Diseases.
Besides curing the above, it is also known to
be a great and powerful tonic, purifying the
blood and invigorating the system.
In short, it is, without exception, in the
cases mentioned, and its general effect on the
system, the most eficacious as it is the most de-
81 able remedy of the age. 1t is already ex-
tenslvely used throughout the country. and is
fast obtaining an European reputation. The
instances of cures it has affected are daily COM
ing to the proprietor's knowledge, and he has
no hesitation in recommending it to one and all
who desire to procure relief from suffering
One bette being tried, its effects will be too APP
parent to admit of further doubt.
Recollect Hurley's Sarsaparilla is the only
genuine article in the market.

Strange is the sound when first the notes be-

When human voices blend with Vulcan's

The click, the clang, and clangor and the

OF rafting rollers in their rapid round.
The whizzing belt, the sharp metallic jar,
Like clashing spears in fierce chiyalric war;
The whispering birth Of myriad flying leaves,
y altered anon In countless motley sheaves,
en- scattered are, as on the winged wind,
y. ae mortal nurture of the immortal mind.
