Ayers Sarsaparilla,

A compound remedy, III which VIC have laborcd
to produce the most etlectual Alternative that can
kc made. 1t is concentrated extract of Para
Sarsapaslila SO combined with other substances
OF still greater Alternative power as to afford an
elective antidote for the diseases Sarsaparla is
rcputcd to cure. 1t is believed that such REM
ciiy is wanted by those who suffer from Stru-
nous complaints, and that ono which will &C.
complish their euro must prove of immense scr
vice TO this large class of our afflicted fellow
citizens. How completely this compound will
do 1t has been proven by experiment on many
OF the worst cases to be found Of tho following
complaints

This compound will DO found a great pro-
moter of health, when taken in the spring, to ex-
pei the foul Eumors which tester in the blood at
that season Of tho year. BY the timely cxpu!-
sion of them many ranking disorders arc nipped
in the bud. Aiultitudes can, by tho aid of thi,
remedy, spare themselves from the endurance of
foul eruptions and ueerous sorcs through which
the system will strive to rid itself of corruptons,
if not assisted to do this through the natural
channels of tho body by an Alternative medicine.
Cleanse out the vitiated blood whenever you
find its impurities bursting through tie skin in
pimp!es. eluptions, or sores; cleanse it when
you find it is obstructcd and sluggish in tho
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

This Agency is not only the largest in New Eng.

The testimonials below given, prove that none is

dant reason to believe, and can prove, that at no
other Office of the kind the charges for profess

of the subscriber during twenty years past has
bled him to accumulate vast collection of specif-
cations and official decisions relative to patents
These besides his extensive library of legal and me-
chanical works, and full accounts of patents granted
in the United States and Europe, render him able,
beyond question, to offer superior facilities for OBJ

A Taste for Reading.

EDIroR DEMOCRAT 1t seems that the peo-
pie of Marysville approve the opinion of Sir
John Herschel expressed in an address to the
subscribers of the Windsor and Elou public
library, thus:
If | were to pray for taste which should
stand me in stead under every variety of
circumstances and be a source of happiness
and cheerfulness to me through life, and a
shield against its ills, however things might
go amiss, and the world frown upon me, it
would be taste for reading. | speak of il
of course only as worldly advantage, and
not in the slightest degree asssuperseding or
derogating from the higher office and surer
and stronger panoply of religious principles
but as a taste, an instrument, and mode
of pleasurable qualification. Give a man
this taste, and the means of gratifying it, and
you can hardly fail of making happy man,
unless indeed, you put into his hands a most
perverse selection of books. You place him
in contact swith the best society in every
period of history, with the wisest, the wit
tiest, with the tenderest, the bravest, and the
purest characters that have adorned humani
ty. You make him denizen of all nations
a conteml orary of all ages. The world has
been created for him. 1t is hardly possible
but the character should take higher and
better tone from the constant habit of asso-
ciating in thought with class of thinkers, to
say the least of it, above the average of hu.
manity. 1t is morally impossible but that
the manners should take q tinge of good
breeding and civilization from having con
stantly before ones eyes the way in which
the best bred and the hest informed men
have talked and conducted themselves in
their intercourse with each other There is
a gentle but perfectly Irresistible coercion in
habit of reading, well directed over a
whole tenor of q mans character and con-
duct, which is not the less effectual because
it works insensibly, and because it is really
the last thing he dreams Of.
In the month of October just passed, there
were taken from the Marysville public libra
ry 81 books to be read, as follows, viz:
Novels, l65 History. So Travels and Top.
ographical, 10: Poetical, 13; Miscellaneous,
Sc. A communication If this might perhaps
influence others to test the delights of read
ing. Upon the diffusion of knowledge among
the general masses of the people depend the
progress and welfare of society very essen
TALLY, and nothing is to be wished for more
in Republic than an enlightened people.
Such enlightenment makes the work of pol
iticians to lead the people astray hard ef-
fort think, indeed, thut California would
do very well if there were no politicians at
all. w.
