A compound remedy, in which we have Ia
bored to produce the most effectual Alternative
that can be made. 1t is a concentrated extract
Of Para Sarsaparilla, so combined with other
substances of still greater Alternative power as
to afford an effective antidote for the diseases
Sarsaparilla is reputed to cure. 1t is believed
that such a remedy is wanted by those who
suffer from Strumous complaints, and that one
which will accomplish their cure must prove
of immense service to this large class Of our
afflicted fellow citizens. How completely this
compound will do it has been proven by eXper-
iment on many of the worst cases to be found
of the following complaints
SCRoFULA AND SCRoFULOUs COMPLAINTS,
ERUPTIoNs AND ERUPTIvE DISEASES, ULCERS,
PMPLEs, BLoTCHEs, TUMoRs, SALT RHEUM,
SCALD HEAD, SYPHILIS AND SYPHILrTIC AZ
FECrIoNs, MERcURIAL DISEASE, DRoPsY, NEU-
RALG1A OR TIC DoULouREUx, DERILIrY, DYs-
PEPsIA AND INDIGESTION, ERYspELAs, ROSE
OR ST. ANrHoNY's FIRE, and indeed the whole
class of complaints arising from lMPuRITy OF
THE BLOOD.
This compound will be found great pro-
moter Of health, when taken in the spring, to
expel the foul humors which tester in the
blood at that season of the year. By the time
ly expulsion Of them many ranking disorders
the aid of this remedy, spare themselves from
the endurance OF foul cruptions and UlceroCs
sores, through which the system will strive to
rid itself of corruptionS, if not assisted to do
this through the natural channels of the body
by an Alternative medicine. Cleanse out the
Initiated blood whenever you find its impurities
bursting through the skin ilrpimples, eruptions,
or sores cleanse it when you find 1t Is DO
structed and sluggish in the veins; cleanse it
whenever it is foul, and your feelings will tell
you when. Even where no particular disorder
is felt, people enjoy better health, and live
longer, for cleansing the blood Keep the
blood healthy, and all is well; but with this
pabulum of life disordered, there can be no
lasting health. Sooner or later something
must go wrong, and the great machinery Of
life is disordered or overthrown.
Sarsaparilla has, and deserves much, the
reputation, of accomplishing these ends. But
the world has been egregiously deceived by
preparations of it, partly because the drug
alone has not all the virtue that is claimed
for it, but more because many preparations,
pretending to be concentrated extracts of it,
contain but little of the virtue of Sarsaparilla,
or any thing else.
During late years the public have been mis-
led by large bottles, pretending to give quart
of Extract of Sarsaparllla for one dollar. Most
of these have been frauds upon the sick, for
they not only contain little, if any, Sarsapa-
rilla, but often no curative properties whatev-
err. Hence, bitter and painful disappointment
has followed the use of the various extracts of
Sarsaparilla which food the market until the
name itself is Justly despised, and has become
synonymous with imposition and cheat. Still
we call this compound Sarsaparilla, and intend
to supply such a remedy as shall rescue the
name from the load of obloquy which rests
upon it. And we think we have ground for
believing it has virtues which are irresistible
by the ordinary run of the diseases it is intend
ed to cure. In order to secure their complete
eradication from the system, the remedy should
be judiciously taken according to directions on
the bottle
