DR. TOWN&SNB'S
COMPOUND EXTRACT OP
Wonder and b let sing of the Age!
THE MOST EXTRAORDINARY MBD1CINB tN THE WORLD.
Tht Extract is put up quart' bottle ; it ii fix
time cheaper, pleasanter, and warranted superior
to any sold. It cures without vomiting, purging,
tic&ening or debilitating the patient.
The great beauty and superiority of this Sarsaparilla
overall other medicine is,that while it eradicates the dis
ease, it invigorates the body. It is one of the very best
spring & sTjirrraEix RiEDiciNxa
ever known ; it not only parities the whole system', and
Strengthens the person, but it creates nets, pun and
rich blood : a power possessed by no ether medicine.
And in this lies the grand secret of its wonderful success
It has performed within the last five years more than
100,000 cures of severe cases of disease ; at least 15,000
were considered incurable. It has saved the lives of
morethan 5,000 children during the two past seasons.
10,000 cases of general debility and want of ner
vous energy. Dr. Townsend's SarsoparlUa invigorates
the whole system permanently. To those who have lost
their muscular energy by the effects of medicine or in
discretion committed in youth, or the excessive indul
gence of the passions, and brought on a general physi
cal prostration of the nervous system, 17a nt of ambition,
fainting sensations, premature decay and decline, has
tening towards that fatal disease, Consumption, can be
entirely restored by this pleasant remedy. This garsa
pariilais far superior to any Invicorattng Cor
dial. As it renews and invigorates the system, fives
activity to the limbs, and strength to the muscular syg.
tern, in a most extraordinary degree. - .

Neu-York, April 23, m.
Dr. Townsend I verily believe that your Sarsaparilla
has been the means, through Providence, of saving my
life. I have for several years had a bad cough. It became
worse and worse. At last 1 raised large quanties of
blood, had night sweats, and was greatly debilitated
and reduced, and did not expect to live. I have only
used your Sarsaparilla a 6hort time, and there has a
wonderful change been wrought in me. I am now able
to walk all over the city. I raise no blood, and my cough
has left me. You can well imagine that I am thankful
for these results. Your obedient servant,
Wili. RUSSELL, 65 Catherine-'.
Rtlenmatlsm This is only one of morethan four
thousand cases of rheumatism that Dr. Townsend's
Sarsaparilla has cured. The most severe and chronic
capes are weekly eradicated by its extraordinary vir
tues. James Cummings, Esq., one of the assistants in the
Lunatic Asylum, Black well's Island, is the gentleman
spoken of in the following letter:
Blackwcws jsiana, esept. 11, low.
Dr. Townsend: Dear Sir I have suffered terribly for
nine years with rheumatism ; considerable of the time
I could not eat, sleep or walk. I had the utmost dis
tressing pains, and iny limbs were terribly swollen. I
have used four bottles of your Sarsaparilla, & they have
done me more than oncthousand dollars worth of good.
I am so much better indeed. I am entirely relieved.
You are at liberty to use this for the beneHt of the afflic
ted. Yours, respectfully, JAS. CUMMINGS.
Fits I Fits I Fits t Dr. Townsend, not having
tested his Sarsaparilla in case of Fits, of course never
recommended it, and was surprised to receive the fol
lowing from an intelligent and respectable Farmer in
Weschester county : Fordham, August 13, 1847.
Dr. Townsend: Dear Sir I have a little girl seven
years of age, who has been several years afflicted with
Fits: we tried almost every thing fur her, but without
success; at last, although we could find no recommenda
tion in our circulars (or cases like hers, we thought, as
she was in very delicate health, we would give her some
of your Sarsaparilla, and are very glad we did, for it not
only restored her strength, but sie has bad no return
of the Fits, to our great pleasure and surprise. She is
fast becoming rugged and hearty, for which we feci
grateful. Yours, respectfully, JOHN BTJl'LER, jr.
Female Medicine. Dr. Townsend's Sarparilla
is a sovereign and speedy cure for Incipent Consump
tion, barrenness, prolapsus Uteri, costiveness, piles,
leucorrhnea, and for the general prostration of
tne female system no matter whether the result
"f inherent cause or causes, produced by irregulari
ty, illness or accident. Nothing can be more surpris
ing than its invigorating effects on the human frame.
Persons all weakness and lassitude, from taking it, at
once become robust and full of energy under its influ
ence. It immediately counteracts the nervelessness of
the female fianic, which is the great eause of barren- i
ness. It will not be expected of us, in cases of so deli
cate a nature, to exhibit certificates of cures perfot med,
but we can assure the afflicted, that hundreds of cases
have been reported to us.
To Mothers and Married L.adlc. This Ex
tract of Sarsaparilla has been expressly prepared in re
ference to female complaints. Indeed this medicine'
is invaluable for all the delicate diseases to which wo
men are subject. It 0 races the whole system, renews 1
permanently the natural energies, by removing the im- 1
purities of the bodv. not so far stimulating as to produce
subsequent relaxation, which is the case of most medi
cines taken for female weakness and disease. By using
a few bottles of this medicine, many severe and painiui
8urgicaloperitionsmay be. prevented.
Ureat blessing to Mothers ana tiumren.
It is the safest and most effectual medicine for purify
ing the system, and relieving the sufferings attending
limin r.hilil. hirth ever diw.nvered. The great beauty of
this medicine is, it is always safe, and the most delicate
use it most successfully.
Beauty & Health. Cosmetics, cnam, ana a va
riety of preparations generally in use, when applied to
!tie face, very soon spoil it ol its beauty, l Dey close
the pores of the skin, and check the circulation, which
when nature is not thwarted by disease or powder, or
the skin inflamed by the alkalies used in soaps, beau
tifies its own production in the " human faee Divine,"
as well as in the garden of rich and delicately tinted
and variegated flowers. A free, active and healthy cirj
culationof the fluids of the coursing of the pure, rich
blood to the extremities, is that which paints tne coun
tenance in the most exquisite beauty. It is that which
imparts tne inctescribaDie snaaes ana nasues 01 ioveu
ness that all admire, but none can describe. This beau
ty is the offspring of nature not of powder or soap. If
there is not a free and healthy circulation, there Is no
beauty. It the lady is tair as driven snow, 11 sne paiui
and use cosmetics, and the blond is thick, cold and im
pure, she is not beautilu I. ir she be Drown or yenow,
and there is pure and active blood, it gives a rich bloom
to the cheeks, and a brilliancy to the eyes that is fasci
nating.
This is why the seuthern, and especially the Span
ish ladies, are so much admired Ladies in the north
who take but little exercise or are confined in close
rooms, or have spoiled their com olexion by tlieapplica
tion of deleterious mixtures, if they wish to resain elas
licity of step, buoyant spirits, sparkling eyes and beau
tiful complexions, they should use Or. Townsend's Sar-
sanarilla. I hnnsamls who have tried 11. are more man
satisfied, are delighted. Ladies of every station, crowd
our office daily.

A touch of something thoughtful,
A witching, winning charm y
And when she sits by jeu,
With quiet and easy grace '
A tear may fall jinbiddrn,
Or a smile light up ber facer
Her voice is eol? melodious '
And lute-like in its tone ;
She sorr.tiimes cfghs. " 'lis dreadfur, -
To pass through life alone."
. And then she'll tell you, you remind hef-
Of the lov'd one dead and gone ,
Yew step, your form, your features'
Thus the widow will run on.-
Oh ! l?sten, yet be careful, .
For well she plays her part
Her lips distill the nectar
That doth enslave her heart,
Be cuarded, or she'll win you.
With sighs, and smiles, Snff leafs ;
I' faith she'll wear the breeches too,
And box your silly ears !

, GENERAL WASHINGTON.
0e Reuben Rouzy, of Virginia, 6wed thS
General about one thousand pounds; While
he was President, one 6f his events brought
an actio for the rrtone ; judgment was ob
tained ifnd execution issued against the body
of the defendant, who was taken to jail. He
bad. considerable, landed, estate, but this
kind of property cannot be sbM in Virginia,
unless at the discretion of the person; He
had a large family, and for the sake of his
children, preferred lyirig in jail to selling hist
land. A ffiefid hinted to him, that probably
General Washington did not knbw anything"
Of the proceeding, and that if might be well to
send him a petition, with a statement of the'
circumstances. He did so-and the very next
post from Philadelphia', after thearrival of his4
Eetition in that city, brought him rifl order for
is immediate release, together with a full
discbarge,- and a severe reprimand to the a
gent, for having acted in such a manner.-'
Poor Rouzy was consequently restored to his'
family, who never laid down theif head at
night without first-presenting prayers to heav
en for ' their beloved Washington." Provi
dence smiled upon the labors of the grateffil
family, and, in a few years, Rouzy enjoyed
the exquisite pleasnre of being able to pay'
the money, with the interest, to this truly
great man. Washington reminded him that
the debt was discharged. Rouzy replied, the
debt of his family to tbe father of their coun
try, and the preserver of their parent; could
never be discharged ; ind the General, to avoid
the pleasing imporlofnity 6f he grateful Vir-'
ginian, who would not be denied, accepted
the money only, however, to divide it among
Rouzy's children, which he immediately did
Tlie Axe. The other day I was holding a
man by a hand as firm in its outward texture
as leather, and his sunburnt face was as in
flexible as parchment; he Was pouring forth a
tirade of contempt on those people who1 com
plain that they can find nothing to do,- & art
excuse for becoming idle loafers'. ,
Said U jeff, what do you work at ? Yod
look hearty and happy; what are you at?';
Why,' said, he ' I bbught me ah axe three"
years ago, that cost me twd dollars' ; that wan
all the n.pney t h&l. 1 went to chopping
wood by the cord ! I have done noihing.else,
and .have earned more than six hundred dol

and have bought me a hitle farm in the Hoo
sier State, and shall be married next week to
a gii'l that has earned two hundred dollars'
since she was" 18. My old axe I shall keep
in the drawer, arid ttfy hie a new one to cut
my wood with. .
After I left him, I thought to myself 'thai
