RALRoADs.-The blockade of the Potomac,
and the long dependence Of the resident and
temporary population of the national capital
upon one single track railroad, hs, naturally
attracted attention, In and out of Congress, 70
the importance Of multiplying the connections
between Washington and the North and West.
We want competing lines not merely for u
sake Of cheap fares and good service in time OF
peace, but 30 as to have more than one outlet
in times OF foreign or domestic war. Contnu.
Gus lines to Philadelphia and New York, u
shorter connection with Annapolis and di.

YER,S SARSApARILLA-Is

"A centratcd extract of Pa:a SarsapariIIa so
combined with other substances of still greater
alternative power to afford effective antidote
for dis Sarsaparlla is reputed to cure. Such
a remedy is surely wa ted by those who suffer
from Strumous complaints, and that one which
will accomplish their cure must prove of immense
service to this large class of afflicted fellow
citizens. How completely this compound will do
it has been proven by experiment on many of the
worst cases to be found in the following COM
plants
Scrofuia and Scrofula com plants Eruptions and
Eruptive diseases, Ulcers, Pimples Blotches. Tu-
mors, Salt Rheum, Scald Head, Syphilis and Sy-
philitic affections, Mercurial diseases, Dropsy
Neuralgia or lie Doloreux, Debility, Dyspepsia
and Indigestion, Erysipelas Rose ST. Anthony's
Fire. and indeed the whole class of complaints
arising from impurity of the blood
This compound will be tounc great promoter
of health, when taken in the spr ng, to expel the
foul humors which tester in the blood at that sea-
of the year By the timely expulsion of them
many ranking disorders are nipped in the bud
Nutitudes can, by the aid of this remedy, spare
themselves from the endurance of foul eruptions
and ulcerous sores, through which the system
will strive to rid itself ofcorruptons if not assist
ed to do this through the natural channels of the
body by an alternative medicine. Cleanse out the
vitated blood whenever you find It's impurities
bursting through the skin l. pimples. eruptions,
sores; cleanse it when you find it is obstructed
and sluggish in the veins clense it whenever it
is foul, and your feelings will tell you when.
Even where no particular disorder is felt. people
enjoy better heals and live longer for clernsing
the blood. Keep the blood healthy, and all is
well but with the pubulum of life disordered,
there be no lasting health. Sooner or later
something must go wrong, and the great machin-
cry of life is disordered or overthrow.
During late years, the public have been misled
by large bottles. pretending to give quart of
Extract of Sarsaparilla for dollar. Most of
these have been frauds upon the sick for they
net only contain little if any sarsaparilla, but
painful disappointment has followed the use of
the various extracts of SarsapariIla which flood
the market, until the name itselfis justly despsed
and has become synonomius with imposition and
cheat. Still we call this compound Sarsaparilla,
and intend to supply such remedy as shall res
cue the name from the load of obIiquy which
rests upon it. And we think we have ground for
believing it has virtues which irresistible by
the ordinary of the diseases it is intended to
cure.
