Compound Extract of Sarsaparilla,

the most effectual remedy which the medical
skill of our times can devise for this every
where prevailing and fatal malady. 1t is COM
bined from the most active remcdials that have
been discovered for the expurgation 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 ERUpTIvE
and SKIN DISEASES, ST.. ANTHoNY's FIRE,
ROSE, or ERYsIPELAs, PIMpLEs, PusTuLEs,
BLoTcnEs, BLAINs and BoILs, TuMoEs, TETTER
and SALT RHEuM. ScALD HEAD, RINGwoRM,
RHEUMATISM, SyrnIIITIc and MERcunIAL Dis
EASES, DRopsY, DYSPEPSIA, DEBILITY, and,
indeed ALL COMPLAINTS ARISING FROM NlTIA-
TED OR IMPURE BLOOD. The popular belief
i'll "imp,nity Of tie blood" is founded III truth
for scrofula is degeneration of the blood. The
particular purpose and virtue of this Sarsapa-
lila is to purify and regencrate this vital fluid,
without which sound health is impossible III

Power OF HORSES SCENT.-There is
one perception that a horse possesses,
that but lilrle attention has been paid to,
and that is the power of scent. With
some horses it is as acute as with dog
and for the benefit of those who have to
drive nights, such as physicians and 9th
ers, this knowledge is valuable. never
have known it to fall and | have rode
hundreds of miles dark nights; and in
consideration of this power OF scent, this
is my advice: Never check your horse
nights, but give him free head and you
may rest assured that he will carry YOU
expeditiously and safe. In regard to the
power of scent in horse, l once knew
one Of pair that was stolen, and recov-
cred mainly by the track being made out
by his mate, and that after he had been
absent six or eight urs.-Honestead.
