HIGHLY CONCENTRATED FLUID Ex-
TRACT sARsAPARILLA
Rradicates Eruptive and Lucrative Diseases
of the Throat, Nose, Eyes, Eyehds,
Scalp and Skin,
Which 30 disfgure the appearance, purging
.bs evil effects of mercury, and removing all
taipts. the remnants Of diseases, hereditary or
otherwise, and is taken by adults and chill
dren with perfect safety.
Two table-spoonfuls ofthe Extract OF Sarsa-
parilla, added to pint of water, Is equal to
the Lisbon Diet Drink, and one bottle is equal
TO gallon of the Syrup of sarsaparilla, or the
decoctien as is usually made.
An interesting letter is published In the
sMedico. Chirurgical Review" on the subject
of the Extract of Sarssparilla in certain atfeo-
tions by Benjamin Travers, +. &. g., etc.
snaakipg of those diseases, and diseases arising
nom the excess of mercury, he states that no
rmedy is equal to the Extract Of sarsaparilla;
its power Is extraordinary, more so than any
other drug am acquainted with. 1t is, in the
s,rictest sense, tonic with this invaluable
attribute, that it is applicable to a state Of the
s,stem 80 sunken, and yet 80 irritable as rem
a. rs other substances Of the tonic class un-
Nv ailable or injurious.

Specia, Despatch to The Evening Telegraph.
ST. LOUIS, Aug. 8.-The Democratic Conven-
ton adjourned sine die yesterday. They call
their ticket a strong one. The Radicals claim
that 1t is weak, and easily beaten by at least
$1,000 majority. NoJ much OF fight will be
made on negro suffrage The Germans refuse
to vote for 1t, and it will probably be defeated
in the State and county.

Tho PorIIs of Childhood.

DIR. E Harris, of New York city, in
his health letter thus writes about scar.
latina:
'This deadly foe of childlile always
threatens the densely-packed families
OF the tenement houses; but the subtle
ty of its contagious and epidemic prin-
Ciple renders II source of danger
wherever there are children within its
reach. It killed STI children in New
York in the twelve months that ended
October ]; and in Brooklyn it destroyed
made, for its consequences or sequel;u
in greater number that survived,
have caused death or permanent
injuries to health. Experience,
and the present state of medical
knowledge, teach the duty of strictly
separating the sick OF this disease, SO
that no susceptible children shall be
exposed to contagious emana!ions, aud
in populous towns and cities, this kind
OF preCautiOn should be extended to the
proper sanitary care of all clothing
that has been exposed in sick rooms
The MYSTERIES of epidemIcs will doubt
less continue until the art of complete
sanitary care becomes universal in its
application. The duty we owe 10 our
fellow creatures concerning this matter
of preventive measures against scarlR.
tina in all the domestic pestilences
that can be spread by contagion,
leads us TO repeat to day the words
which we quoted year ago from Sir
James Y. Simpson, the great Edinburgh
physicians: "a rattlesnake or II tiger
escaping from a travelling menagerie
into a school full of children would, in
all probability, not wound or kill nenr-
ly SO many children as would boy or
girl coming among them affected with,
or still imperfeGtly recovered from,
scarlet fever, measles or smallpox,
Most properly the cobra (snakeJ and
the tiger, because they are dlWdys
dangerous. are always, as far
as possible, prohibited from max
ing such visitatiOns. so the injected
boy or girl should be prohibited also,
during the time that they are running
through the course and convalescence
of such contagious diseases, or while
they exhale from their bodies virus
of dangerous and deadly potency"
1t Is not known. and until known, II
cnnnot be claimed that scarlatinn, can
be utterly bRnished by all the resources
OF sanitary science, but it has been
found possible. by simple regulation OF
