Ayer'sSarSaparllIa

A compound remedy. designed to be the most
effectual AHe,utice that can be made. It is
a concentrated extract of Para Sarsaparila
so combined with other substances of still
greater Alternative power as to afford an eifcc-
tive antiJote for the diseases Sarsaparilla is
reputed TO cure. 1t is believed that such
remedy is wanted by those who suffer from
Snumous 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 experiment on many
of the worst cases to be found of the following
COMPLAINTS
SCRoFULA AND ScRoFULous COMPLAINTS,
ERUPTIoNs AND ERUpTIvE DISEASES, ULCERS.
PMPLEs, BLoTcHEs, JUNIORS, SALT RuEUM,
SCALD HEAD, SYPHILIS AND SYPHILITIc Ar
PETITIONS, MERcuRIAL DISEASE, DRoPsY, NEU-
RALGIA Or TIC DoULoUREUx, DEBILITY, DYs-
PERSIA AND INDIGESTION, ERYsIPEL.s, RosE
OR ST. ANTHoNY's FIRE, and indeed the whole
class of complaints arising from IMrUHTy 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
are nipped in the bud. Multitudes can, by
ulu VI tuo 1CilSuy, SIjtiIC tltllSe1NtS LULA
the endurance of foul eruptions and ulcerous
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
vitiated blood whenever you find its impurities
bursting through the skin in pimples, eruptions,
or sores; cleanse it when you find it is OBJ
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
tor 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 Il quart
of Extract of Sarsaparilla 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-
er. 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.
