Ayers SarsaparilIa


Is compounded from the most cffectual antid0tes
that medical science has discovered for this act-
ing distemper and for the cure Of the disorders il
entails. That il is far superior to any other
remedy yet devised IS known by all who have
given it trial. That Is does combine 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: Kipr's
Evil, OF Glandular Syellings, Tun0rs Er1p-
tons Piynples, Blotches and Sores, Zrgsipeiag,
Rose or ST. Enthnnys Fire, Salt Rheuu, Scald
Head, Coughs from tubercuIoUs deposits in
the lungs, White sweilings, Debility Dropsy,
Neuralgia, Dyspepsia or Indigestion, Sypoilis
and syphiiitic Infections, MercUrial Diseases,
Female W Weaknesses, and indeed, the whole series
OF complaints that arise from impurity ofthe blood.
Minute reports Of individual cases may be found
in AYERS AMERICAN ALMANAC, which is furnished
10 the druggists for gratutOus distribution, wherein
Hay be learned the directions for its use and some
OF tie remarkable cures which it has made when
all other remedies had failed to afford relief Those
cases are purp0sely taken from all sections OF the
country, in order that every reader may have ac-
cess TO some one who can speak to him Of its bene-
fits from personal experience. ScrOfula depresses
the vital energies and thus leaves its victims far
more subject to disease and its fatal results than
healthy constitutions Hence tends to shorten
and does greatly shorten the average duration Of
human life. The vast importance Of these con-
sderatOns has led us t. spend years in periactiug
a remedy which is adequate TO its cure. This we
now offer TO the public under the name Of ANER's
SABsAPAEILLA, although it IS composed Of ingre-
dlents, some Of which exceed the best of .tqrsu-
pariHG in Alternative power. BY its aid you may
protect yourself from the suffering and danger Of
these disorders. Purge OFT the foul corrupti0ns
that rot and tester in the blood, purge ont the
causes Of disease, and vigorous health viii follow.
BY its peculiar virtues this remedy stimulates the
vital functions, and thus eXpels the distcmpers
which lurk within tie system or burst out on any
part Of it.
We know tho public have been deceived by
many compounds Of Sarsaparil5q, that promised
much and did nothing; but they viii neither be
deceivednor disappointed in this. It's 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 intended to
reach. Although under the same name, il is a
very different medicine from any other which has
been before the people, and is far more cffcctual
than any other which lSs been available To
them.

Physiology of Tea-Drinking

An enthusiastic historian of the stim-
ulants we use, might find lausible
ground for saying that the introduction
Of tea into the western world is the most
revolutionary innovation in the sphere
of diet whicn history records, and for
tracing to its influence on. our national
character, much of the mental and phys
ical activity of this nineteenth century.
We must avoid enthusiasm, and try to
say few sober words on this subject.
That tea has an influence over the tis-
sues of the body is now among the things
admitted in physiology. This influence
is of a conservative nature, and it's value
to the poor can scarcely be over-rated.
To them tea is virtually tissue, and
makes.a supply Of food that would other
wise be inadequate to maintain the
weight Of the body, sufficient for that
purpose. Doubtless an unlimited supply
of food capable of replacing any amount
of effete tissue would be preferable to a
substance which simply goes to prevent
Tissue from becoming ehete, but this is
impractible = the unlimited supply OF
heterogeneous food being thing that as
yet neither Providence nor politicians
have given to us.
Doubtless too, alcohol has in common
with tea and other substances, this pow
er of retarding the waste of the tissue Of
the body but probably it acts different
ly, and certainly it is open to strong OBJ
jections which cannot be made against
tsa. This preserving power of tea over
the tissues, has not hitherto been ex-
planned. Perhaps it may not be alto
gether unconneeted with another inhu-
ence of tea which we proceed to notice;
namely, an influence over the temper or
rather the mood, or speaking physically,
after our fashion over the ''nerves." y
Nothing affects the wear of tissue more
than mood; and tea has strange infu-
ence over mood-a strange power of
changing the look of things, and chang
ing 1t for the better, 50 that we can be.
lieve and hope and do under the in fuence
Of tea, what we should otherwise give up
IN dlscouragemont and despair-feelings
under the influence of which tissues
wear rapidly. In the language Of the
poor, 1T produces feeling of comfort.
Neither the philosopher nor the philan-
throplst will despise this property of tea,

The Newspaper he Takes.

A man is to be judged by the company
he keeps. The remark is equally appli-
cable to mems literary companions
Perhaps the application is strongly in
the latter case, since men can always
choose their reading. but cannot always
avoid intercourse with parties not wholly
to their taste We believe there is no
better index to mans character, than
the newspaper he takes. Tell us what
newspaper man pays his money for,
reads himself, and gives to his children
to sow the seed Of social and political
principles in their minds, and we will
readily inform you where he stands upon
nearly every important question of the
day. The test we regard, in great
majority of cases, as unfaiiing. If the
journal that secures his patronage is a
mere news organ, neutral upon all agi-
tating questions, and aspiring to the ia
yor Of ell parties, you may be sure you
have come across one who bothers his
brain but little about matters of state,
and looks with sort Of quiet contempt
upon everybody that exhibits anything
above the average of public spirit. He
is no politician himself and has no conf
dence in anybody that is. He wants
no office, and would never think of be-
coming a soldier to fight for his country,
though he would have no objection to a
Government contract.
# the paper is a copperhead, you may
expect the man that takes, and pays his
money to sustain it, to be found Kissing
on all occasions at all true friends of 10y
atty, and to be very ANXIOUS for peace
through compromise with the rebels, or
by letting them go altogether. He has
a remarkable distaste for the war, seeing
that he is in no danger of taking part
in it or incurring any of it's risks or hard
ships He is always lamenting the
bloodshed and miseries it is producing,
but never gives penny to aid Sanitary
Commission or a Union Aid Society in
binding up the wounds Of suffering loyal
soldiers, or furnishing them with the
comforts which will alleviate their condl-
tion in the field.
If, on the other hand. you find sound
Union papeS-one that is out-spoken

s'You'd better keep silent tongue in
your head, my good woman, until you
have had an opportuni-y to witness as
many battles as we have, answered one
of the men; 'a good soldier is always on
his guard"
"Aye, aye p' replied the ord woman,
'sbut he should know how to distinguish
between the cracking of a branch and
the ring of rifed musket."
The rebel did not relish the noise
made by the loud, shrill tones of the
female guide, and in order to put an
end to the conversation he controlled
himself sufficiently not to reply to her
last remark. The party then continued
their way in silence-whieh was not
broken by either of them until they had
gone about three miles, and a loud, clear
challenge suddenly startled the rebels.
"Halt Who comes there? aKas

ave are betrayed - yelled her com
panions, and, even as the words passed
their lips they were surrounded by a
dozen Federal soldiers, one Of whom car
ried a lantern.
AS the rays Of the ligot flashed upon
the bag, the rebels saw the gray hair,
the blanket, and the female apparel
drop to the ground, revealing the slight
but iron like frame of Union soldier in
the prime of life.
''It is he, by exclaimed the prison
ers. simultaneously, as their glances
wandered to the long double barrelled
rife which he now held in his hand /;
'.it is -thescout- Federal Cham

esAye, aye !" answered the latter, as
he leaned upon his weapon, with quiet
smile, ''You are trapped, sure enough,

to you for the information you gave me
regarding the position Of your camp and

to the matter, and ! perceive he has com
menced to act upon it"
| And as he spoke he pointed down the
road where the dark outline Of troops
forming into line might be family dis.
tinguishad.
They were soon in motion, and in the
course of halfan hour the booming can.
non, the rafting of musketry, and the
cheering Of Federal troops proclaimed
| that the combat had commenced. The
din continued for about an hour, wher
the prisoners heard from others who
were brought to share their quarters,
that the Southern troops had been sur.
| prised and totally routed. q
