Cnly ten years have elapsed since the discoverer, (who spent a decade in studying experiments, and perfect ing it,) first introduced it to the public, and it is already recognized by the most eminent physicians in all parts of the country to be the most surprising and effective remedy for certain diseases of which they have knowl- edge.
 All other Compounds or Syrups of this root have hitherto failed 10 command the sanction ofthe Faculty, because, on being tested, they have been found to contain noxious ingredi- ents, which neutralize the good effects of the Sarsaparilla, anG oftentimes injure the health of the patient. It is not so with Hurley's preparation.
