Counties sufferers find the balm
of relief, and their health and strength
in AYERS SARsAPARILIA. 1t is the
most potent of all the alternatives to
purify thesystem and clense the blood.
1t possesses invigorating qualities, so
that it stimulates the faded vitalities
and purges out the corruptions which
mingle with the blood, promoting de-
rangement and decay. We are as
sured by many intelligent physicians
that this medicine cures beyond all
Others of its kind, and we can fortify
this statement by our own experience.

The steamboat Arabian sank in
the Missouri river near Kansas City
twenty-five years ago with eight hum
dred barrels of whisky on board. Geo.
Treadway noted the exact spot, and
subsequently bought the cargo at a
small price, intending to raise it, but
was never able to carry out the pro-
ject. The course of the river has since
changed and the whisky, which now
lies about forty feet under the sand, is
soon to be dug for.
