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 indisputab:y
known and remarkable cures it has made of
the following diseases Kings Evil or
Glandular Swellings, Tunors, Erup-
tons, Pimples, Blotches and Sores, Fry
sipelas, Rose or st. Anthony's Fire, Salt
Rheum, Scald Head, Coughs from tu-.
herculous 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 tile 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 are 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
ife The vast importance of these considera-
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 conn
posed of ingredients, some of which exceed the
best of StTspariNa in Alternative power. BY
rs aid sou NAV protect yourself from the suffer-
ing and danger Of these disorders. Purge out
the foul corruptio:is 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-
lions, and thus expels the distempers which
Turk within the system or burst out on any
part of it. D. ''si .'''2@ft ~ 80 - %
We know the public have been deceived by
many compounds of Sdrsapailla, 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. ''-'e''i ''n'

How to Dress skins with Fur ON.

There are many ways of preparing
furs for use as articles of dress or orna.
ment. A way the writer used success
fully with small pel,s, as those of musk.
rats, minks, cats, rabbits, foxes, etc., is
as follows: After stretching and dry.
ing, scrspe off all the bits of flesh and
Jumps of fat which may adhere, then
wet thoroughly OH the flesh sile with
a strong solution of salt aud alum /;
fold one half upon the other with the
fur out, and roll up or pack the skins
away for week or ten days. After
this, the pelts aye shaken out, each is
spread with layer OF bran or sawdusi,
and thus they are piled one upo:, an
other, or again rolled up to lie for day
or two. The moisture is absorbed, and
after this, repeated vigorous rubbing~
and workings by the hands finish them
Thick skins need To be treated a second
time with alum and salt, which is best
applied finely puverized and rubbed in.
Tallow or other grease rubbed npon
the undressed skins, softens aud pre-
serves them. On this principle the In
dams tan skins of Buffalo, bears and
smaller animals-for the nicer opera
tioss, using brains which are on this
account very highly valued. The fun
dressers in the. cities use rancid butter,
smearing the skins with il, then pui
them into tubs, and tread and work
them with the feet very thoroughly !;
after this sawdust is thrown in among
the skins and they are repeatedly
worked over in contact with 1t, To re-
move all excess Of grease. Subsequent
manipulation, rubbing the skin will,
chalk or p"tter's clay, and whipping
and brushing the fur, finishes them.
All these operations depend for their
success upon their thorough rubbing
