4 YER'S SARSAPARTLLA,
FOR PURIFYING THE BLOOD.

The reputation this excellent medicine enjoys
is derived from its cures many of which truly
marvellous. Inyeterate cases of Scrofulous dis
case, where the system seemed saturated with
corruption, havo been purified and cpred by it.
ScrOful0us affections and disorders, which were
aggravated by the scrofulous contamination until
they were painfully affecting, have been radical
ly cured In such great numbers in almost every
section of the country that the public scarcely
need to be informed of its virtues or uses.
Scrofulods poison is one of the most destructive
enemies Of our race. Often, this unseen and un-
felt tenant Of the organism undermines the con-
sututlon, and invites the attack of enfeebling or
fatal diseases, without exciting a suspicion of its
presence. Again, it seems to breed infection
throughout the body, and then on some favora-
BILE occasion, rapidly develops into one or other of
Its hldeoas forms, either on the surface or among
the vItals. In the latter, tubercleS may be sud
denly deposited in the lungs or heart, or tumors
formed IN the liver, il shows its presence by e.
TuptIons on the skin, or foul ulcerations on some
part OF the body. Hence the occasional use of a
bottle of this Sarsaparilla is advisable even when
no active symptoms of disease appear. Persons
afflicted with the following complaints generally

use OF this Sarsaparilla: St. Anthony Fire Rose

and nervous systems.
