TIE LATEST FAsHIoss.-S ince the IN
vention and successful introduction OF the
Celebrated Duplex Elliptic Tor doubIe)
Spring Hoop Skirt By Mr.. j. W BraI-
ley of New York. the ladies throughout the
country have given mp the idea Of discard
ing the fashion of wearing hoop skirts.
on account Of the peculiar and gr ce.
ful manner in which the Duplex Skirts
.dpat themselves to every exigency and
emergency. Sogenerally acceptable have
these Skirts become that the ladies' regard
them as special favori.c in view of the
superior Hsxibility. lightness and durabil-
ity combined in their manufacture. They
also consider them far more economical
and comfortable Hoop Skirt that never
has or can be made for crowded sssemb,
lagos. for the promenade or house dress.
Any lady after wearing one Of these Skirts
will never afterwards willingly dispense
with their use. Long experience in the
manufacture Of Hoop Skirts has proven
to the proprietors Of this invention. that
single springs will always retain that stiff.
unyielding and bungliug style which has
ever characterized them. whereas the
double spring hoop or the Duplex Ellip-
tic, will be found free from these objec-
tions. Notwithstanding the ability Of the
manufacturers, Messrs. Vests, Bradley
& Cary. to turn out over SIX thousand
Skirts per day Pom their large mauufac-
tories in New York. they feel obliged to
request all merchants ordering the Du-
plex Elliptic Skirts, to send their orders
q few days before they are wanted. il pos
sible, as they are always most constantly
oversold some days ahead.

AYERS
COMPOUND Extract of Sarsaparilla,

the most effectual remedy which the medical
skill of our times can devise for this every
where prevailing and fatal malady. 1t is com.
bined from the most active remedals that have
been discovered for the expurgation of this foul
disorder from the blood, and the rescue Of the
system from its destructive consequences.
Hence it should be employed for the cure OF
not only Scrofula, but also those other aftec--
tons which arise from it, such as ERUPT1vK
and SK1N DISEASES, ST. ANTHoNY's FIRE,
ROSE, or ERYsIpELAs, PMPLEs, PUsruLEs,
BLorcHEs, BLAINs and Bo1Ls, TuMoRs, letter
and SALT RHEuM, ScALD HEAD, RINGwoRM,
RHEUMATISM, SYPHILITIc and dMERCURIAL Dis
EASES, DRoPsY, DYSPEPSIA, DEBILITY, and.
indeed, ALL COMPLAINTS ARISING FROM VITA
TED OR IMPURE BLOOD. The popular belief
in "inpwity ofthe blood" is founded in truth,
for scrofula is degeneration of the blood. The
particular purpose and virtue of this Sarsapa-
rlla is to purify and regenerate this vital fluid,
without which sound health is impossible in
contaminated constitutions.

Scrofula, or Kings Evil

is a constitutional disease, a'corruption on tho
blood, by which this fluid becomes yitiated.
weak, and poor. Being in the circulation. III
pervades the whole body, and may burst out
In disease ON any part of it. No organ is Gee"
from its attacks, nor is there one which it NAV
not destroy. The scrofulous taint is yariously
caused by mercurial disease, low living, dis.
ordered or unhealthy food, impure ain, filth
and filthy habits, the depressing vices, and,
above all, by the venereal Infection. What
ever be its origin, it is hereditary in the CON-
stitution, descending :" from parents to children
unto the third and fourth generation; !" indeed, !:
it seems to be the rod of Him who says, "T'
will visit the iniquities of the fathers upon
their children
Its effects commence by deposition from the
blood of corrupt or ulcerous matter, which, m
the lungs, liver, and internal organs, is termed
tubercles; in the glands, swellings; and on
the surface, eruptions or sores. This foul cor
ruption, which genders in the blood, depresses
the energies of life, so that scrofulous constitu-
tons not only suffer from scrofulous COM,
plants, but they have far less power to with.
stand the attacks of other diseases; conse-
quently vast numbers perish by disorders
which, although not scrofulous in their nature,
are still rendered fatal by this taint in the
system. Most of the consumption which de-
climates the human family has its origin directly
in this scrofulous contamination; and many
destructive diseases of the liver, kidneys, brain,
and, indeed, of all the organs, arise from or
are aggravated by the same cause.
One quarter of all our people are scrofulous; !;
their persons are invaded by this lurking In
fection, and their health is undermined by it.
To cleanse it from the system we must renovate
the blood by an Alternative medicine, and in
vigorate it by healthy food and exercise
Such a medicine we supply in

Ague Cure,
FOR THE SPEEDY CURE OF

FOR THE SPEEDY CURE Of
Intermittent Fever, or Fever and Ague,
Remittent Fever, Chill Fever, DUMB
Ague, Periodical Headache, OF Bilious
Headache, and Bilious Feyers, indeed
ing I'm hillary arrangement, caused by
the Malaria OF Miasmatic Countries.
We are enabled here to offer the community q
remedy which, while it cures the above complaints
with certainty, is still perfectly harmless in any
quantity. Such remedy is invaluable In districts
where these affecting disorders prevail. This
"CURE" expels the miasmatic poison of FEVER
AND AGUE from the system, and prevents the de-
yelopment of the disease if taken on the first ap-
proach of its premonitory symptoms. It's not only
the hest remedy ever yet discovered for this class
of complaints but also the cheapest. The large
quantity supply for dollar brings it within the
reach of every body; and in bilious districts, where
FEVER AND AGUE prevails, every body should
have it and it freely both for cure and protec-
ton. A great superiority of this remedy over any
other ever discovered for the speedy and certain
cure of Intermittents is that it contains no Qunine
or mineral, consequently it produces no quinism or
other injurious effects whatever upon the consttu-
ton. Those cured by it are lett as healthy as II
they had never had the disease. ff
Fever and Ague is not alone the consequence OF
the rniasmatic poison. great variety Of disor-
ders arise from its irritation, among which are
Neuralgia, Rheumatism, Go,h, Headache, Blind
ness Toothdche, EGrdche, CatGyrh, Asthma, PaA
pitation. Painful affection Of the Spleen, Hyster-
tcs, Pain an the Boioels, Cohc Paralysis and De-
ranqen,ent of the Stomach, all of which, when
originating in this cause, put on the intermittent
tune. or become periodical. This CURE" expels
the poison from the blood, and consequently cures
them all alike. 1t is an invaluable protection to
immigrants and persons travelling or temporarily
residing in the malarious districts. If taken occa-
sionally or daily while exposed to the infection,
that will be excreted from the system, and cannot
accumulate in sufficient quantity to ripen into dis
ease Hence it is even more valuable for protec-
ton than cure and few will suffer from Inter-
mittents if they avail themselves of the protection
this remedy affords. 49,
