IMPRESSIONS OF TEE BATTLE.
First That the rebel attack Sunday morning
was complete surprise to our army We lay
with our camps scattered about, perfectly un-
conscious Of danger. The Friday evening pre-
vious there had been a skirmish in front of our
lines, but 1t excited little comment, and was
supposed to be only scouting party from the
rebel forces at Corinth. No special prepare.
tions we're made to receive the enemy, and no
one seemed to imagine that they were in force
close upon our lines. And yet as facts have
since shown, they lay camped FOR several days
within striking distance-two miles--of our
camp. The rear division of their army had left
Corinth the Monday preceding the battle The
distance from Corinth to Pittsburg Landing Is
twenty miles. Our camps extended along the
main road about four miles from the river. But
though they were 90 near Us, and we're nearly
week making final preparations for the battle,
still the only feeling apparent on the part Of our
leaders, was fear least they should slip away
from Corinth, and decline to give us battle.
Second. That our volunteer cavalry 10 shame.

Compound Extract Of SarsapariIla,

the most effectual remedy which the medical

where prevailing and fatal malady. 1t is COM
bined from the most active remedials 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-

for the whole class Of diseases originst-

We are enabled here to offer the community
remedy which, while it cures the above complaints
with certainty, is still perfectly harmless in any
quantity. Such remedy is invaluable in districts
where these affecting disorders prevail. This
"CURE" expels the miasmatic poison Of FEVER
AND AGUE from the system, and prevents the de-
velopment of the disease, if taken on the first ap
proach of its premonitory symptoms. tits not only
the best remedy yet discovered for this class
of complaints. but also the cheapest. The large
quantity we supply for dollar brings it within the
reach Of every body and in bilious districts, where
FEVER AND AGUE prevails, every body should
have it and use it freely both for cure and protec
ton. A great superiority Of this remedy over any
other ever discovered for the speedy and certain
of InteYmittents is that it contains no Qninine
or mineral, consequently it produces no quinism or
other injurious effects whatever upon the constitu-
ton. Those cured By it are left As healthy as IL
they had never had the disease.
Fever and Ague is not alone the consequence OF
the miasmatic poison. A great variety of disor-
dcrs arise from its irritation, among which are

ScrOfula, or Kings Evil.

is constitutional disease, a corruption of the
blood, by which this fluid becomes vitiated,
weak, and poor. Being in the circulation, it
pervades the whole body, and may burst out
in disease on any 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 venereal infection. What
ever be its origin, it is hereditary in the con-
stitution, descending " from parents to children
unto the third and fourth generation :" indeed.
it seems to be the rod of Him who says, ~
will visit the iniquities of the fathers upon
their children
Its effects commence by deposition from the
blood Of corrupt or ulcefous matter, which, in
the lungs, liver, and internal organs, is termed
tubercles; in the glands, swellings; and on
the surface, eruptions or sores. This foul cor
ruption, which genders in the blood, depresses
the energies of life so that scrofulous constitu-
tions not only suffer from scrofulous conf
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 scroftllous in their nature,
are still rendered fatal by this faint in the
system. Most of the consumption which de-
climates the human family has its origin directly
i'll 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
lection, and their health is undermined by it.
To cleanse it from the system we must renovate
the blood by an Alternative medicine. and i'll
vigorate it by healthy food and exercise.
Such q medicine we supply i'll
