Ayers Sarsaparilla

Is compounded from the most cffectual nnti-
dotes that medical science has discovered for
this affecting distemper, and for the cure of tho
disorders il entails. That it is far superior TO
any other remedy yet devised, is known by all
who have given It u trial. That it does COM
bine virtues truly extraordinary in their effect
upon this class of complaints is indisputably
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-
tions, Pimples, Blotches and Sores, Ery-
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 ArER's 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 purposcy taken from all Sec
{ tions of the country, in order that every reader
may have access TO some one who can speak TO
ScrofIla depresses the vital energies, and thus
leaves its victims far more subject to disease
and its fatal results than are healthy constitu-
tions Hence it tends TO shorten, and does
greatly shorten the average duration of human
life. The vast importance of these considcra-
tions has led us TO spend years in perfectinS a
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 .SdrsdpdriHa 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
virtues this remedy stimulates the v
tions, and thus expes the dstempcrs wi.ica
lurk within the system or burst out on any
part of it. i-'t
We know the public have been deceived by
many compounds of .Sarsdpa,illd, 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 tho affecting diseases it is in
tended to reach. Although under the same
name, it is q very different medicine from any
3 other which has been before the people, and is
far more effectual than any other which has
ever been available to them.

True Democratic Words,

The party which supports Mcclellan are prais.
ing his letter of acceptance Of the Chicago nomi-
nation, as though it contained the very spruce of
patriotism, and the concentrated oil of devotion
to the Union. Mcclellan might have written
letter worthy of such praise, letter spurning the
Chicago platform as the dettsAble thing it is,
and declering for no compromise with treason or
traitors. But be endeavored to BE- patriotic with
out getting off from the Chicago platform, and of
course his letter is slupendous failure, neither
fish nor flesh. We commend to those Of his
admirers, who were oncs believers ia Douglas,
the following noble words of the Little Giant, and
will they compare them with the letter accepting
the Chicago nomination.
"To eface the insult offered to our flag, to Sc.
cure ourselves from the fate otthe divided repub-
lies Of Italy and South America, to preserve onr
Government from destruction, TO enforce its Just
power aud laws 10 maintain our very existence
as nation, these were the causes which impelled
Us to draw the sword Rebellion agains, a Gov
eminent like ours, which contains the means OF
selfadlustment, and pacific remedy for evils,
should never be COMPOUNDED With a revolution
against despotic power which refuses redress Of
wrongs. Such rebellion cinnol be justified upon
ethical grounds, and the only alternative FOR our
choice are its suppression or the destruction Of our
nationality. At such time as this, and in such
struggle, political partissnship should be merged
in true aud brave patriotism which thinks only
Of the good Of the whole country. 1t was in this
cause, aud with these motives, that so many OF
our comrades h,vc given their lives, and to this
We are all personally pledged in all honor and Il.
fidelity. Saill such devotion as hat NJ our dead
comrades be u no avail? Shall il be said in after
ages that we hoked the vigor TO complete The
york thus begun That after all these noble
lives freely given we hesi.ated and failed 10 keep
st lraight on until our land was saved. Forbid Il.
Heaven, and give US drmer, ,ruer hearts Than
that"

Democrat, whose devotion to Mcclellan bas been

to tell an anecdote when was on the stump for
Buchanan, which exactly illustrates my present
feelings. An old farmer died, leaving two sons,
and, among other valuables, a larg flock Of sheep.
In the flock was q very valuable ram called Billy

the elder brother--an avarioious fellow divid-
ng the flock placed,ll the good sheep in one pen
aud all the scaly ones in the other, being careful
to give Billy q conspicuous position among the

for Billy would induce him TO select the pen where
he was. Bl instead oi this, and as il aware Of
the object OF the arrangement, be quietly went up

officer since the war commenced has issued q
more noble or stirring order than this announce.
ment OF Sherman's to his army of their achieve.
nents, and the strong hope Of a safe and endur-

tone, its entire devotion to the Union, and its
clear vision of the only way that union can be
restored, with the miserable talk about con.
citation and compromise " n McClaIan's bid
