Ayers Sarsaparilla

is compounded from the most effectual anti
dotes that medical science has discovered for
this affecting distemper, and for the cure OF the
disorders it entails. That it is far superior to
any other remedy yet devised is known by all
who have given it a trial. That it does COM
bine virtues truly extraordinary in their effect
upon this class of complaints, is indisputaby
proven by. the great multitude of publicly
known and remarkable cures it has made of
the following diseases Kings Evil or
Glandular Swellings, Tumors, Erup-
tons, Pimples, Blotches and Sores, Fry.
sipelas. Rose or st. Anthony's Fire, Salt
Rheum, Scald Head, Coughs from tu-
berculous deposits in the lungs, White
Swellings, Debility, Dropsy, Neuralgia,
Dyspepsia or Indigestion, Syphilis and
Syphilitic Infections, Mercurial Diseases,
Female Weaknesses, and, indeed, the whole
series of complaints that arise from impurity
OF the blood. Minute reports of individual
cases may be found in AYERS AMERICAN
ALMANAC, which is furnished to the druggists
for gratuitous distribution, wherein may be
learned the directions for its use, and some of
the remarkable cures which it has made when
all other remedies had failed to afford relief.
Those cases arc purposely taken from all sec
tons of the country, in order that every reader
may have access TO some one who can speak to
him of its benefits from personal experience.
Scrofula depresses the vital energies and thus
leaves its victims far more subject to disease
and its fatal results than are healthy constitu-
tons. Hence it tends to shorten and does
greatly shorten, the average duration of human
life. The vast importance of these considcra-
tons has led us to spend years in perfecting
remedy which is adequate to its cure. This
we now offer to the public under the name of
AYERS SARsAPARILLA, although it is COM
posed of ingredients, some of which exceed the
best of SdrS1IariNa in alternative power. By
its aid you may protect yourself from the suffer
ing and danger of these disorders. Purge out
the foul corruptions that rot and tester in the
blood; purge out the causes of disease, and
vigorous health will follow. BY its peculiar
virtues this remedy stimulates the vital func-
tons, and thus expels the distempers which
Turk within the system or burst ont on any
part of it. 49,
We know the public have been deceived by
many compounds of .Sdrsaparlia, that promised
much and did nothing but they will neither be
deceived nor disappointed in this. Its virtues
have been proven by abundant trial, and there
remains no question of its surprising excellence
for the cure of the affecting diseases it is in
tended TO reach. Although under the same
name, it is very different medicine from any
other which has been before the people, and is
far more effectual than any other which has
ever been available to them

contamination is variously caused by mercurial
disease, low living, disordered digestion from
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 children unto the third and
fourth generation :" indeed. it seems to be the
rod of Him who says, will visit the iniqui-
ties of the fathers upon their children" The
diseases which it originates take various names.
according to the organs it attacks. In the
lungs, Scrofula produces tubercles, and finally
Consumption in the glands, swellings which
suppurate and become ulcerous sores in the
stomach and bowels, arrangements which pro-
duce indigestion, dyspepsia, and liver COM
plants; on the skin, eruptive and cutaneous
affections. These all having the same origin,
require the same remedy, viz. publication and
inauguration of the blood. Purify the blood,
and these dangerous distempers leave you.
With feeble, foul, or corrupted blood You cam
not have health with that " life of the flesh"
healthy, you cannot have scrofulous disease.

Rappahannock Station
Nov. 28.-2PH
The progress made by Gen. Meade
is highly encouraging and successful A
new base OF supplies will be established
in few days from which the army will
operate with most damaging effect to the
Confederacy. We are having a heavy
and disagreeable gain.
Rappahannock Station,l
Nov. 28-7 n.
The Army Of the Potomac has finally
severed its line of communication with
Washington, aud nothing has come
through from it since yesterday. a m. If
there had been general engagement yes
terday the wounded would have been sent
to the rear and conveyed to Washington
from this point. As no wounded men have
been sent it is certain no battle has been
fought. The heavy cannonading yester-
day was probably of no greater Importance
than artillery firing frequently is, which
makes great deal of noise but does little
execution. This forenoon the cannona.
ding heard was fainter than yesterday,
but during the day it has been perfectly
quiet. The rain had ceased before dark
and it is probable that the quantity which
fell to-day will not interfere with tho
movements of the army except for few
hours.
In emancipating itself from Washing
ton the Army Of the Potomac is in a DO
sition to opetate most disastrouly against
the rebels. Should it also emaDcipate
the Union prisoners now enduring ages
of misery in single month in Richmond,
it will accomplish one of the greatest
achievements performed BY any army du-
ring the war;
