neTiat Diseases, LtbeT Complaints, and Heart DissdseS.
Try AYER's SARsAPABILLA, and see for yourself the sur
prising activity with which it cleanses the blood and
cures these disorders.
During late years the public has been misfed by
large bottles, pretending to give a quart OF Extract of
Sarsapari1la for one dollar Host Of these have been
frauds upon the sick for they not only contain little,
If any sarsaparilla, but often no curative properties
whatever. Hence. bitter disappointment has followed
the use Of the various extracts Of Sarsaparilla which
food the market, until the name itself has become
anonymous with imposition and cheat. Still we call
this compound, "SarsapRrilla, i" and intend to supply
such a remedy as shall rescue the nAms from the load
of obloqIy which rests upon it. We think we have
ground tor believing it has virtues which are irresisti-
BILE by the ordinary run OF the diseases it is intended
to cure. We can only assure the sick that we offer
them the best Alternative which we know how to pro-
duoe, and we have reason to believe it il by far tbs
most enectual purifier OF the blood yet discovered BY
anybody.
AYERS CHERRY PICTORIAL is 50 universally known to
surpass every other remedy for the cure Of Coughs,
Colds, Influenza, Hoarseness, Group, Bronchitis, Incip-
lent Consumption, mi for tue relief Of ~consumptive
patients in advanced. stages OF tho disease, that it is
useless to recount the evidence of its virtues. The
world knows them.

These two names give the direction of
the public thought. Henry Wirz was
righteously hung, and human life to-day
is more sacred and safe because his is Civ
en- up. But he was only subordinate in
that great army of misrule ard destruc-
ton which was headed by JEFF: Davis,
and which, for four long years, kept the
best blood of the country running like
water, and filled the land with widows
and orphans and broken-hearted parents,
1t is said that Davis is not directly crimi-
mated In Wlrz's course; what if he is notl
Were all the crimes of treason enacted

The woes of that prison-house were but a
single specimen of the horrors on a ma
tlonal scale which are traceable. clearly
and directly, to JEFF: Davis, in authorship
and accountability at least sufficient to
call down upon his head the punishment
which has just been melted out to this poor
tool, the Andersonville iailor.
We hold that this country will never
stand right before the bar of the civilized
world, or in the impartial judgment Of
posterity, so long as it seeks out and pun.
lshes the mere instruments of the rebellion
and lets its autocrat escape. The talk
about Davis being chosen to his leader
ship, as if that fact Invested him of all
personal responsibility for his illegal and
outrageous acts, is perfect nonsense. Sc
Catalina was chosen to head the conspir.
acy at Rome. There never was the mar
that rose to the "bad eminence" of af
tilctlng and endangering his country, who
did all his work alone Such men are al
ways the agents of others, chosen, in til,
first place, for the very reason that the,
have already demonstrated their power,
for mischief, and promise to make the
conspiracy more effective than anybody
else.
This is precisely the reason why jeff

Contederacy. 1t was his own work thai
