FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL.

SUNDAY, Jan. Is, 1861.
The past week was one of considerable activity
in the foreign trade of the port. Both the imports
and exports of produce and merchandise were
considerably in excess of those of the
responding weeks Of the two previous
years. The high prices which our staples
command in Europe insure q steady continue
ton of the heavy exports which have caused the
exchanges to rule in our favor for the past two
months and, on the other hand, notwithstanding
the troubles at the South, there is pretty fair
prospect that the West and the North generally
win take good many goods this spring, and thus
the importations win not be so light as was at one
time expected. New York has two regions to feed
with goods-the South and the West when one
fails the other often makes up the deficit. The
commercial activity Of this emporium is thus pre-
served. The following are the Custom House Ia
bles Of the trade of the port for the week and since

AYERS
Compound Extract of Sarsaparilla,

the most eifectual remedy which the medical
skill of our times can devise for this every
where prevailing and fatal lnalady. 1t is COM
bincd from the most active rcm2dials that have
been discovered for the cxpurgation of this foul
disorder from the blood, and the rescue Of the
system from its destructive consequences.
Hence it should be employed for the cure of
not only Scrofula, but also those other affec-
tons which arise from it, such as ERUPrlvE
and SKIN DISEASES, ST. ANrHoNy's FmE,
ROSE, or EnysIpELAs, PiMrLEs, PusrULEs,
BLoTcHEs, BLAINs and BoIIs, TuMoRs, letter
and SALT RHEUM, ScALD HEAD, RINGwosM,
RHEUMATISM, SyrulLITIC and MERcuRlAL DIS
EASES, DRorsY, DYSPEPSIA, DEBILITY, and,
indeed, ALL COMPLAINTS ARISING FROM VITA
TED OR IMPURE BLooD. The popular belief
in " impmfty Of the blood" is founded i'll truth,
for scrofula is degeneration of the blood. The
particular purpose and virtue Of this Sarsapa-
rilla is to purify and rcgencrate this vital fluid,
without which sound health is impossible III
contaminated constitutions.
The Buchanan County guardian. (Independence, Buchanan County, Iowa) 1858-1864, 1861-09-17
Scrofilla, or Kings Evil,

il a constitutional disease, corruption Of tho
blood, by which this fluid becomes vitiatcd,
weak, and poor Being in the circulation it
peryudes the whole body, and may burst out
i'll disease on amy part of it. No organ is free
from its attacks, nor is there one which it may
not destroy, The scrofulous faint is variously
caused by mercurial disease, low living, dis
ordered or unhealthy food impure air, filth
and filthy habits, the depressing vices, and,
above all, by the vcnereal infection. What
ever be its origin, it is hereditary in the con-
stitution, descending from parents to children
unto the third and fourth generation i" indeed,
it seems to be the rod of Him who says, ~
will visit the iniquites of the fathers upon
their Children
Its effects commence by deposition from the
blood Of corrupt or ulcerous matter, which, in
the lungs, liver, and internal organs, is termed
tubcrclcs; i'll the glands, swellings; and on
the surface, eruptions or sores. This foul cor
ruption, which gcnders in tie blood tlepresses
the energies of life, SO that scrofulous constitu-
tons not only suffer from scrofulous COM
plants but they have far less power to with
stand the attacks of other diseases; conse-
quently vast numbers perish by disorders
which, although not scrofuous III their nature,
arc still rendered fatal by this faint in the
system. Most Of the consumption which de-
citIcs tlie human Mlhliy mas ltS origin directly
in this scrofulous contamination; and many
destructive diseases of the liver, kidneys, brain,
and, indeed, of all the organs, arise from or
are aggravated by the same cause.
One quarter of all our people are scrofulous;
their persons are invaded by this lurking in
fiction, and their health is undermined by it.
TO cleanse it from the system we must renovate
the blood by an alternative medicine, and in
vigorate it by healthy food and exercise.
Such medicine we supply in

the Malaria OF rIIasnIatic Countries.
We are enabled here to offer the community a
remedy which, while it cures the above complaints
with certainty, is still perfectly harmless in any
quantity. Such 4 remedy is Invaluable in districts
where these affecting disorders prevail This
"CURp" expels the miasmatic poison Of FEVER
AND AGuE from the SYSTEM and prevents the de-
velopmcnt Of the disease, il taken on the first APP
proach Of It's premontory symptoms tbs not only
the best remedy ever yet discovered fol- this class
Of complaints, but also the cheapest. The large
quantity we supply for dollar brings 1t within tho
rash h qf s ya5y aSa fFS il bilious ststs where
have il and use it freely both for and protec-
ton. A great superiority OF this remedy over any
other ever discovered for the speedy and certain
cure OF Intermittonts is thatit contains no Qunine
or mineral, consequcntiyit produces no quihism or
other injurious effects whatever upon the consttu-
ton. Those cured BY II are LETT as healthy as II
they had never had the disease.
Fever and Ague is not alone the consequence OF
the masmatic poison. A great variety OF dsor-

them all alike. 1t is an invaluable protection to
immigrants and persons travelling or temporarily
residing in the malarious districts. If taken occa-
.ionay or daily while exposed to the infection,
that will be cxcrcted from the system, and cannot
accumulate in sufficient quantity to ripen into dis
case. Hence it is more valuable for protcc-
ton than cure and few will suffer from Inter-

this remedy affords.
