Ayers Sarsaparilla

" compounded from the most effectual anti

orders il entails. That it is far superior 10
other remedy yet devised is known by all

le virtues truly extraordinary in their effect
on this class of complaints, is indisputabiy
oven by the great multitude of publicly
iown and remarkable cures it has made Of
,,se following diseases Kings Evil or
landular Swellings, Tumors, Erup-
ons. Pimples, Blotches and Sores, Fry
pelas Rose or st. Anthony's Fire, Salt
heum, Scald Head, Coughs from tu-
,erculous deposits in the lungs, White
Swellings. Jier''''-- Dropsy, Neuralgia,
Dysper- ~ ton, Syphilis and
Syphilitic In43c 71ercurial Diseases,
Female Weaknesses, and, indeed, the whole
series of complaints that arise from impurity
of the blood. Minute reports of individual
cases SRay be found in Ayers AMERICAN
ALMANAC, which is furnished 10 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 hsd failed TO afford relief.
Those cases are purposely taken from all sec
tiUnS Of TIE country, in order that every reader
may have access 10 some one who can speak TO
MIN of its benefits from personal experience.
Scrofnla dcpresscs the vital energies. and thus
leaves its victims far more subject TO disease
and its fatal results than are healthy constiu-
tiOns. Hence it tends to shorten, and does
greatly shorten, the average duration of human
life. The vast importance Of these considera-
tions has led US to spend years in pcriecting
remedy which is adequate to its cure. This
we now offer to the public under the name Of
T. AYERS SARsAPARILLA, although it is com
posed of ingredients, some of which exceed the
best of Srs1pariRa in Alternative power. BY
its mid YOU may protect yourself from the suffer,
ing and danger of these disorders. Purge out
the foul corruptions that rot and foster 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, ard thus cxpels the distcmpers which
lurk within the system or burst out on any
part Of it.
We know the public have been deceived by
many compounds of .SarMpGTild, that promised
much and did nothing; but they will n?iIher be
deceived nor disappointed in this. IL 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 sam
name, it is very different medicine from a
other which has bccn before the people, anc
far more cffectual than any other which
ever been available to them.

Illumination is variously caused by mcrcurial
case, low living, disordcrcd digestion from
healthy food, impure air, filth and filthy
hits, the depressing vices, and, above all, by
vencreal infection. Whatever be its origin
is hereditary in tho constitution, descending
rom parents to children unto the third and
nth gcueration;" indeed, it seems to be the
| of Him who says, (" viii visit tho iniqui-
; of the fathers upon their children" The
eases which it originates take various names,
& ordmg to the organs it attacks. In the
lgs, Scrofula produces tuberclcs, and finally
assumption; in the glands, swellipgs which
,purate and beeome ulcerous sores; in the
mach and bowels, arrangements which pro-
ce indigestion, dyspepsia, and liver COM
/. lints; OH tho skin, eruptive and cutancous

This is our reply: In health, the body like well

Rumors from Marfinsbur0 and Harper's
Ferry.
BALTIMORE, July 27.
Harper's Ferry is still in our possession, no
attack having been made at that point as yet
The rebels are believed not to have entered
Maryland
A scout who left Martinsburg at O'Clock
last night and crossing at Sheppardstown, ar
rived here this morning. He reports heavy
skirmshing at Martinsburg between General
Crooks forces and the rebels under Breckin-
ridge.
GA Monday, up to five p. NJ, our forces fell
back to this side of the Potomac from Mar
linsburg to Williamsport, but the rebels EWING
ed no intention of crossing, and refugees from
Washington and other western counties were
returning TO their homes.
1t is generally supposed that the object of
the rebels is TO keep our forces out of the val
ley while they are gathering the harvest
Late reports state that we have re,occupied
Martinsburg.
80 7. M.-Gen. Wallace has ordered the
immediate enrolment of all the colored men
IN the city, directing that they be forthwith
organized into companies. The leagues are
also actively engaged in perfectng their mill
tary organization.
The order restricting the press here from
publishing anything relative to rebel move
ments, is st II in force much to the perplexitv
OF editors, who do not appear TO appreciate
the wisdom of the order.
Ldter.-The statement in the Philadelphia
Balletin that Harperis Ferry has been evacu
ated,i undoubtedly incorrect, as the telegraph
TO that place is still working.

MORE SICK AND WOUNDED SOLDIERS
The regular train from Boston, last evening,
brought to this city 100 sick and wounded SOL
diers from the Portsmouth Grove Hospital,
Rhode Island, en- route for Augusta. The
agent had no intelligence of these men com
ing, until half an hour before the train arriy-
ed. Yet he furnished all of them with food
and refreshments, and they were perfectly sat
isfed.
Among them were many severe cases Of am
putated limbs, where the surgical operation
had been performed on the field, at the battle
of the Wilderness. The men made great
complaint of the Portsmouth Grove Hospital,
asserting that it was run by contract. From
what they SAID and from what we have pre-
viously heard, we think there must be good
grounds for the complaints against this insti-
tuition, and we hope the Department will in
vestigate the matter and see that justice Is
done to the sick and wounded soldiers.

The s. Of T. Excursion.

The annual excursion Of Portland Division,
day, on which occasion they were joined by
the members ofthe Grand Division and ladies,
and the members of Bath Division. The place
selected this year was Pleasant Cove, some
three or four miles from the city, where there
Is pleasant grove and good landing place.
The barge Comfort, In tow of the tug boat
Tiger, took down about 400 at 0 o'clock and
came back for the Bath delegation and others,
numbering about 900. The Bath company
came over the Portland and Kennebec road
and arrived in this city about 10 IL o'clock,
and were obliged to wait on the wharf until
nearly 2 o'clock for the return of the barge.
At i . O'Clock the entire party was on the
grounds ready for amusements and refresh
ments as the occasion afforded, and we have
no doubt all had an opportunity of relieving
themselves of their currency and getting all
they desired to eat OF drink. II any one was
not supplied with water ii was not the fault CT
Mr.. jackson of the Grand Division. The
music by Poppenburg's Band was good
enough.
There have been reports in circulation I'M
favorable to the barge Comfort, but we have
been on board of her several times and con-
sider her perfectly safe for party OF 600 or
700. The accident that occurred the day be-
fore, was such as all boats are liable to, and the
damage is fully repaired. Capt. Willard has
run this barge for seven years, during which
time he has carried some very large parties
and has met with no accident that resulted in
the material injury to any one. The priuci-
pal objection is that the tug boat is too slow
for this fast age, but we understand that a
faster boat is to be put on.
