PURIFY YOUR BLOOD.
I'LL Eng IN" 49,


nF all the remedies thathave been discovered
" during the present age for the ssthcuSand
ills thut flesh is heir to-" none equal this Won
de,ful preparation. Only three years have
elapsed Since the, discoverer (who spent a de-
eade In studying, experimentalizing, and pre-
fecting it, first introduced it to the public,
and tits 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
a~rilla, oftentines injure the health of the pa
tent. 1t is not so with Hurley's preparation.
This is the pure and genuine extract of that
foot, and will, on trial, be found to effect a per-
rect cure OF the following complaints end dis
eases: p.
Affections of the Bones. Hah;laal Costiveness,
Diseases of the Kidneys Liver Complaint,
Dyspepsia. Piles,
Erysipelas. Pulmonary Diseases.
Female Irregularities, scrofula or Kings Evil,
ilstnla; Syphilis,
Besides curing the above, il Is also known TO
be a great and powerful tonic, purifying the
oloou ana lnFigoFatlne 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-
si-able remedy of the age. 1t is already ex-
tensively used throughout the country, and is
fast obtaining al European reputation. The
Instances Of cures it has affected are daily corn-
ing to the proprietor's knowledge, and he has
no hesitation IN recommending it to one and all

is a. true proposiiion--ii viii be seen
that he value Of The hay crop to the
world is beyond calculation. When We
speak Of the value Of lay we have ref,
erence, 10 lbs nutriiive qualities; for a hay
which had lost these, would, Of course,
be as vslueless as straw. The more
p~erfec, lio elements Of nutrition in grass
are preserved in the hay, tho more val

purposes.

While The grass is growing, n espe.
'cialiy during tle latter period Of grow
ing, the stems and leaves contain consid-
cradle quantities Of sugar ind gum,
which aEe transformed INFO woody fibre
mostly during The ripening process, and
into seeds: Therefore, when grass. has
attained its growth, 1t gains nothing in
