AYERS Compound Extract Of SarsapariIla,

the most cffectual remedy which the medical skill of our times can devise for this everywhere prevailing and fatal malady It is combined from the most active rcmedials that have been discovered for the eNpurgation of this foul disor der from the blood, and the rescue of the sys- tenn from its destructive consequences. Hence it should be employed for the cure of not only scrofula, but also those other affections which arise from it. such as ERUPT1vE and SKIN DIs- EASES, ST. ANTHoNY's FIRE, ROSE, or FRY s1rELAs, PIMPLEs, PUsTULEs, BLoTCHEs, BLA1Ns and Bo1Ls, TUMoRs, TErTER, and SALT RHEUM, ScALD HEAD. RINewoRM, RHEUMATISM, SYPH1L1r1c and MERcURIAL DISEASES, DRoPsY, DYSPEPSIA, DEBILITY, and, indeed, ALL COMPLAINTS ARISING FROM VITIATED OR IMPURE BLOOD. The popular belief in "impuriy of the blood" is founded in truth, for scrofula is degeneration of the blood The particular purpose and virtue of this Sarsa- parlla is to purify and regeneratc this vital huid without which sound health is impossible in oopfo,,,inotaJ ronctitu+;opo

 Patients in advanced stages of the dis ease.
 So wide is tho field of its usefulness, and so numerous are the cases of its cures, that almost every section of country abounds in persons, publicly known, who have been restored from alarming and even desperate diseases of the lungs by its use. When once tried, its superi- orty over every other medicine of its kind is too apparent to escape observation, and where its virtues are known the public no longer hesitate what antidote to employ for the distressing and dangerous affections of the pulmonary organs that are incident to our climate. While many inferior remedies thrust upon the community have failed and been discarded, this has gained friends by every trial, conferred benefits on the afflicted they can never forget, and produced cures too numerous and too remarkable to be forgotten.
