Ayers Sarsaparilla


Is compounded from the most efiectual anti
dotes that medical science has discovered for
this affecting distemper, and for the cure Of the
disorders it entails. That il is far superior TO
any other remedy yet devised is known by all
who have given 1t a trial. That it docs com,
bine virtues truly extraordinary in their effect
upon this class of complaints, is ndisputaby
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, Pimrles, Blotches and Sores, Fry
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
Eyphilitic 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 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 purposelv taken from all Sec
lions 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 depresscs the vital energies. and thus
leaves its victims far more subject to disease
and its fatal results than are healthy constitu-
TONS Hence il tends TO shorten, and does
greatly shorten, the average duration OF human
iife The vast importance of these considera-
tons has led us to spend years in perfecting a
remedy which is adequate to its cure. This
we now offer to the public under the name of
Ayers SARsAPARILIA, although it is COM
posed of ingredients, some of which exceed the
best of SarsopariHa 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 peculiar
virtues this remedy stimulates the vital func
tons, and thus expels the distempers which
Turk within the system or burst out on any
part of it.
We know the public have been deceived by
many compounds of .Sdrsopariltd, 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 afflieting diseases it Is in
tended to reach. Although under the same
name, it is a 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. (.

several of the public streets Fights, pistol!
firing, and disturbances generally were frequent.
At one tine Of the day quiet persons were al
most afraid TO 60 out Of their houses. Several
persons were knocked down and injured, and
the police threatened with violence if they in
terfered. A row occurred at Chapel Hall, at
the corner Of Duke and Washington streets, in
which pistols, brickbats, and fists were freely
used. A young man had his head severely in
jured by stone, another man was shot IN the
arm, and several others slightly wounded with
pistol shots A man was severely beaten on
the street, at the upper end of King street, and
a dozen rows tooi place there, in the course Of
