A YER's SARSAPARILLA,
FOR PURIFYING THE OoD.

The reputation this excellent medicine enjoys,
is derived from its cures, many of which are truly
marvellous Inveterate cases of Scrofulous dis
case, where the system seemed saturated with
corruption, havO been purified and cured by it.
Serofulous 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-
stltutlon, and invites the attack of enfeebing or
fatal Diseases without exciting suspicion of its
presence Again, it seems to breed infect ton
throughout the body, and then, on some fayora-
bic OCCASION rapidly develops into one other of
its hlde0Is forms, either on the surface or among
the vitals In the latter, tubercIes may be sud-
denly deposited in the lungs or heart or tumors
formed In the liver, OF 1t shows its presence by c.
rdptions on the skin, or foul alterations 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
find immediate relief, and at length, cure, by the
use OF this oarsaparilla st. Anthony's Fire, Rose
or Erysipelas, letter, Salt Rheum, Scald Head

tiOns or visible forms of ScrofulouS disease Also
in the more concealed FORMS as Dyspepsia, Drop
sy, Heart Disease, Fits Epilepsy, Neuralgia and
the various UlcerOus anecuonS OF the muscular
and nervous systems
Syphilis or Venereal and Mercurial Diseases are
cured by II, though long time is required for
subdang these obstinate maladies by any med-
cine. But long continued use of this medicine
will cure the complaint. Leucorrhoea or mites,
Uterine Uleerations, and Female Diseases are
commonly soon relieved and ultimately cured by
its purifying and invigorating effect Minute Di-
rectons for each case are found in our Almanac,
supplied gratis Rheumatism and Gout, when
caused by aceumulations of extraneOus matters in
the blood, yield quickly to it, as also Liver Com

This SARSAPARILLA is a great restorer for the

A YER'S CATHARTIC PILLS,

4 YER'S CATHARTIC PILLS,
For all the purposes of a Laxative Medicine
Perhaps no one Medicine is so universally re-
qured by everybody as a cathartic, nor was ever
any before universally adopted into use, in ev-
cry country and among all classes this mild
but efficient purgatiye Pill. The obvious reason
is, that it is reliable and far more efectual
remedy than any other. Those who have tried it,
know that il cured them; those who have not,
know that it cures their neighbors and friends,
and all know that what it does once it does always
that it never fails through any fault neglect
Of its composition We have thousands upon thou
sands OF certificates Of their remarkable cures of
the following complaints but such cures are known
in every neighborh0od, and we need not publish
them. Adapted to all ages and conditions in all
climates; containing neither calomel or any dele
, terious drug, they may be taken with safety by
anybody. Their sugar coating preserves them ey-
er fresh and makes them pleasant to take, while
being purely vegetable no harm can arise from
their use in any quantity
They operate by their powerful influence on the
internal vscera 20 purify the blood aud stimulate
it into healthy acti0n-remove the distractions Of
the stomach bowels, liver and other organs of the
body, restoring their irregular action to health.
and by correcting, wherever they exist, such
arrangements as are the first origin Of disease
Minute directions given in the wrapper on
the box, for the following complaints, which these
Pills rapidly cure -
For DYSPEPSIA or INDIGESTION, LISTLESsNESS, S,
LAEGUoR and Loss Of Appetite, they should be
taken moderately to stimulate the stomach and
restore its healthy tone and action.
For LIVER COMPLAINT and its various symptoms
BILIOUS HEADACHE, SICK HEADACHE, JAUNDICE
or Green SICKNESS, Bilious Collie and Bilious Fe-
vers, they should be judiciously taken for each
case to correct the diseased action or remove the
distractions which cause it.
For DYsRSTERY or DIARRHGA, but one mild
dose is generally required.
For RHEUMATISM, GoUT GRAVEL, PALPITATGoN
or THE HEART, PAIN IN THE SIDE, BACK and
LoISs, they should be continuously taken, as re-
quired, TO change the diseased action of the sys-
TEN. With such change those complaints dsap-
pear
For DRoPsY and DR0PsICAL SWELLIEGs they
should be taken in large and frequent doses to
produce the effect of drastic purge.
For SUPPRESSION a large dose should be taken
as it produces the desired effect by sympathy.
As DINNER Pit, take one or two pills to pro-
mote digestion and relieve the stomach.
An occasional dose stimulates the stomach and
bowels into healthy action, restores the appetite
and invigorates the system. Hence it is often ad-
yantageous where no serious arrangement exists.
One who feels tolerably well, often finds that dose
Of these PILLS makes him feel decidedly better,
from their cleansing and renoyatng effect on the
digestive apparatus.
