On the contrary they are un- certeain in the extreme. My object in writ ing you is 10 lind upon what terms l can get the medicine directly from you, If can get it upon easy terms, shall use great deal of it. l am aware that the use of such articles is contrary to the teachings and practice of a great majority of the regttdr line of M D s, but l see no just cause or good sense in dis carding a remedy which we know to be effi cient, simply because we may be ignorant of it's combination. For my part, shall make it rule to use all and any means to alleviate suffering humanity which l may be able to command--not hesitating because some one more ingenious than myself may have learned its effects first, and secured the sole right to secure that knowledge. However. l am by no means an advocate or supporter of the thousands of worthless nostrums that food the no'ntry, that purport to cure all manner of disease to which human flesh is heir Please reply soon, and inform me of your best terms. am. sir, most respectfully,

PURIFY YOUR BLOODIII a1iirlrus Sarsapaylila,

OF all the remedies that have been discoV- cred during the present age for the thousand ills that flesh is heir to. none equal this won derful preparation. Only ten years have elapsed since the discoverer, (who spent a decade in studying experiments, and perfect ing it,) first introduced it to the public, aud it is already recognized by the most cminen physicians in all parts of the country to be the most surprising and effective remedy for certain diseases of which they have knoWi- edge.
 All other Compounds or Syrups ofthis root have hitherto failed to command the sanction of the Faculty, because, on being tested, they have been found to contain noxious ingredi- ents, which neutralize the geod effects Of tho Sarsaparilla, anG oftentimes injure the health of the patient. It is not so with Hurleys preparation.
 This is the pure and genuine extract of the root and will, on trial, be found to effect certain and perfect cure of the following com plaints and diseases:
 Affection or the Bones, lIabftnat COStiveness, Diseases Of the
 Kidneys, Dyspepsia, Fry

DIR. JOHN BULL.
Manufacturer and Vender of the Celebrated

The proprietor of this celebrated medicine jnstly claims for it superiority over all remedies ever offered to the public for the safe, certaia, speedy. and peymaneRt euro of Ague and Fever, or Chills and Fever, whether of short or long standing. He refers to the entire Western and Southwestern country to bear him testimony to the truth of the as- sertion, that in no case whatever will it fail to cure, if the directions are strictly followed and carried out. In great many eases a single dose has been sufficient for cure, and whole families have been cured by single bottle, With perfect restoration of the gen eral health It is, however, prudent, and in every case more certain to cure, if it's use is continued in smsller doses for week or two afier the disease has been checked, msrs es- peeially in difiselt and long standing eases. Usually, this medicine will not require any aid to keep the bowels in good ordefi should the patient, however, require a csthartie medicine. after having taken three or four doses of the Tonic. single dose of BULLS VEGETABLE FAMILY PILLS will be sufii- cient.
