Gen. Bragg has furnished an official
relor; of the battle at Perryyi.Ie, Ky, in
which lie claims great victory, which

left at Lexington, and fell into the hands
of the Yankees.
Great dissatisfaction was felt among
the olhecrs of Bragg's army at the falling
back, and many of them literally wept
when the order was given.
The conclusion to be dawn from all
the news in our possession, continues the
Dispatch, are, that Bragg has either met
such an overwhelming force of the enemy
and successfully retreated before it, with
large stores of provisions, or that he has
been too timii and made forced march
and fought and wearied his troops for an
object which he had not daring enough
to accomplish.

FOR THE SPEEDY CURE OE
Intermittent Fever or Fever and Ague,
Aene, Periodicai Hcadache, or Bill.
liOus Headache, and Fevers,
indeed for the WI hole class of diseases
caused by the maiar2 Ia of Miasmaiic
Countries.
We are enabled here to offer the community a
remedy which, while it cures the above COM
plants with certainty is still perfectly harmless
in any quantity. Such remedy is invaluable in
districts where these affecting disorders prevail
This Cure" expeIs the misasmatc poison Of
Fever and Ague from the system, and prevents
the development of the disease, if taken on the
first approach of its premonitory symptoms. Ii
is not only the best remedy ever yet discovered
for this class of complaints but also the cheapest
The large quantity we supply for a dollar brings
it within the reach of everybody; and in bilious
districts, where Fever and Ague prevails, every
body should have it and it freely both for cure
and protection. A great superiority of this
remedy over any other ever discovered for the
speedy and certain cure of Intermittents, is that
it contains no QuiniI.e OF mineral, consequently
it produces quinism or other injurious effects
whatever upon the constitution. Those cured by
it are left healthy if they had never had the
disease.
Fever and Ague is not alone the consequence
of the miasnatic poison. A great variety of dis
orders arise from its irritation, among which are
Neuralgia, Rheumatism, Gout, Headache, Blind
mess, Toothache, Earache, Catarrh, Asthma, Pal
pitation, Painful Affection of the Spleen, Hys-
terics, Pain in the Bowels. Collie, Paralysis and
Derangement Of the Stomach, all of which, when
originating in this cause, put on the intermittent
type or become periodical. This "Cure" expels
the poison from the blood, and consequently cures
them all alike. 1t is an invaluable protection TO
immigrants and persons travelling or temporarily
residing in the malarious districts. IL taken oc-
casionaly or daily while exposed to the infection,
that viii be excreted from the system, and can
not accumulate in sufficient quantity to ripen into
disease. Hence il is even more valuable for pro-
lection than cure, and few will ever suffer fIom

SCrofula, or Kings Evil

Is constitutional disease, 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 oft. No organ is free from It's attacks
nor is there one which il may not destroy. The
scrofulous faint is variously caused by mercnrial
disease, low living, disoriered or unhealthy food
impure air, filth and filthy habits, the depressing
vices, and, above all, by the venereal infection.
Whatever be its origin, it is hereditary in the
constitution. descending "from parents to chill
dren unto the third and fourth generation; indeed
it seems to be the rod of Him who says: Il will
visit the iniquites of the fathers upon their chill
dren."
Its effects commence by deposition from the
blood of corrupt or ulcerous matter, which, in
the lungs, liver and internal organs, is termed
bercles; in the glands, swellings; and on the sur
face, eruptions or sores. This foul corruption,
which genders in the blood. depresses the ener-
gies of life so that scroful0us constitutions not
only suffer from scrofulous complaints. but they
have far less power to withstand the attacks OF
other diseases; consequently vast numbers perish
by disorders which, although not scrofuous in
their nature are still rendered fatal by this faint
in the system Most of the consumption which
decimates the human family has its origin directly
in this scrofulous contamination; and many de
structive diseases of the liver, Kidneys brain, and
indeed, of all the organs, arise from or are az
gravated by the same cause
One quarter of all cur people are scr0fulous,
their persons are invaded by this lurking infoc-
ton, and their health is undermined by it. To
cleanse it from the system we must renovate the
blood by Alternative medicine. and invigorate
it by healthy food and exercise. Such a medicine
we supply in

dcted the triumph not only of the ticket nomi-
mated, but of Democratic principles ultimately

Compound Extract of SarSaparilla,

The most effectual remedy which the medical
skill of our times can devise for this everywhere
prevailing fatal malady. Tits combined from the
most active remedials that have been discovered
for the expurgation of the foul disorder from the
blood, and the rescue of the system from its de
structiye consequences. Hence it should be en-
employed for the cure of not only Serofula, but
also those other affections which arise from il,
such as Eruplye and Skin Diseases, ST. Anthony's
Fire, Rose, Erysipelas, Pimples, Pustules, Blotch
es, Blains and Boils, Tumors, letter and Salt
Rheum, Scald Head, Ripgworm, Rheumatism,
Syphiiitic and Mecurial Diseases, Dropsy, Dys-
pepsia, Debility, and, indeed, all Complaints
arising from Initiated Impure Blood. The
popular belief in "impurity of the blood" is found
ed in truth, for Scrofula is degeneration of the
blood. The particular purpose and virtue of
this Sarsaparila is to purify and regenerate this
vital fluid, without which sound health is impos
sble in contaminated constitutions.
