This Sarsaparillai is combination of
vegetable alternatives = Stillingia, Man
drake, Yellow Dock with the Iodides
of Potassium and Iron, and is the most
eficacious medicine yet known for
the diseases it is intended to cure.
It's ingredients are so skilfully COM
bined, that the full Alternative effect OF
each is assured, and while it is SO mild
as to be harmless even to children, 1t Is
still so effectual as to purge out from the
system those impurities and coruptions
which develop into loathsome disease.
The reputation it enjoys is derived
from its cures, and the confidence which
prominent physicians all over the coun-
try repose in it, prove their experience
of its usefulness.
Certificates attesting its virtues have
accumulated, and are constantly being
received, and as many of these cases are
publicly known, they furnish convincing
evidence Of the superiority of this Sar-
saparilla over every other Alternative
medicine. So generally is its superi
ority to any other medicine known, thai
| we need do no more than to assure the
| public that the best qualities it has ever
possessed are strictly maintained.

Ayers Ague Cure,

For Fever and Ague, Intermittent Fever,
Chill Fever, Remittent Fever, Dumb Ague,
Periodical or Bilious Fever, &C., and indeed
all the affections which arise from malari-
GUS, marsh, or miasmatlc poisons. n
This Is compound remedy, prepared with
scientific skill from vegetable ingredients, which
rarely fails to cure the severest cases of Chills
and Fever and the c0ncomitant disorders. Such
a remedy the necessities of the people in mala
rious districts demand. Its great superiority
over any other medicine yet discovered for the
cure of Intermittents is, that it contains no qui-
nine or mineral, and those who take it are free
from danger of quinism or any injurious effects,
and arc as healthy after using it as before. 1t
has been extensively employed during the last
thirty years in the treatment of these distressing
disorders, and SO unvarying has been its success
that it has gained the reputation of being infal-
1ible. Z 1t can, therefore, be safely recommended
as a sure remedy and specific for the Fever and
Ague of the West, and the Chi1ls and Fever of
the South. 1t counteracts the miasmatic poison
In the blood, and frees the system from its innu-
cnce, so that fever and ague, shakes or chills,
once broken up by 1t, do not return until - the
disease is again contracted. ~
The great variety of disorders which arise from
the irritation of this poison, such as Neuralgia,
Rheumatism. Gout, Headache, Blindness,
ToOthache, Earache, Catarrh, Asthma, Pal
pitation, Splenic Affections, Mysteries, Pain
IN tno I1o"eis' Noiic, Il arAiysisi anu uefahSe-
of the Stomach, all of which become intermit-
tent or periodical, have no speedier remedy than
AYERS AGUE CURE, which cures them all alike,
and protects the system from future attacks. AS
a preventive, it is of immense service IN those
communities where Fever and Ague prevails, as
it stays the development of the disease if taken
on the first approach of the premonitory symp-
toms. } Travellers and temporary residents are
thus enabled to defy these disorders, and few
will ever suffer if they avail themselves Of the
protection this remedy affords.
For Liver Complaints, arising from torpidity,
it is an excellent remedy; it stimulates this organ
into healthy activity, and produces many remark
able cures where other medicines fail.

question but what the sentiment is
strong enough to cause elections to be
