tOu5 contamination until
they were painfully affecting, have been radically
cured in such great nuIilbers in almost every Sec
ton of the country, that the public scarcely need to
be informed of its virtues or uses.
ScrofulOuS poison is one of the most destructive
enemies of our race Often, this unseen and unfelt
tenant of the organism undermines the constitution
and invites the attack os or fatal diseases,
without exciting suspicion of its presence. Again,
it seeInS to breed infection throughout the BODY and
then, on some favorable occasion, rapidly develop
into other Of its hieous FORMS either on the
surface or among the ytals. In the latter tuber.
cles may be suddenly deposited in the lungs or
heart, or tumors formed IN the liver, it shows
its presence by eruptons the skin or foul ulcer
atoms on some part of the body. Hence the occa-
siOnal use of bottle of this SdTSdparili0 is ad-
visable, even when no active symptoms of disease
appear. Persons afflicted with the following COM
plants generally find immediate relief, and, at
length, cure, by the use of this SARSAPARIL-
LII: st. AHtLOIly's Fire, Rose or Eyysipelas,
TetteT, SGtt RLeun', Scald Head, Ringicos7n,
Sore Eaes, Sore Ears, and other eruptions or
visible forms Of scroTitlOtts disease. Also in the
more concealed forms, as Dyspepsia, Dropsy,
Heart Disease. Fits, Epilepsy, NeurofGia,
and the various UICerOlS affections of the muscu-
lar and nervous systems.
SypHiJiS or TeleTeGE and MerctrriaE Diseases
arc cured by it, though long time is required for
subduing these obstinate maladies by any medicine.
But long continued use of this medicine will cure
the complaint. LeitcOTTErG or Whites, Uterine
JLcer0tiOns, and Female Diseases, are COM
monty soon relieved and ultimately cured by its
purifying and invigOrating eject. Minute Direc-
tiOns for each case are found in our Almanac sup.

caused by accumulationS of oytraneous matters
in the blood, yield quickly to it, as also Lire,.
Complaints, TOTipidity, Congestion or I1sffG1R-
aiGfiOn of the Licer, and JcUnGice, when arising,
as they often do, from the ranking poisons in the
blood. This S4RSAPARILLAi is a great re-
stOrer for the strength and vigor of the system.
Those who are LG9Gisid and EjStjeSs. Des3O7i-
