Iyer's Sarsaparilia Acompound remedy, designed to be the most effectual Alterative that can be made. It is concentrated extract of Para Sarsaparilla, bo combiaeiiy itithestace ftyfifll' greater alterative p4safioJ-an SeW. tive antidote for the diseases Sarsaparilla is teputed to cure. It is believed that such a remedy is wanted by those who suffer from Strumous complaints, and that one '-which will accomplish their cure must prove of immense I service to Uiis large class bTout afflicted fellow Icitizens. How completely this compound will do it has been proven by experiment on many of the worst cases to be fQund of the following .complaints: Scuofulaj an -Scrofulous - ConptAixTs, . EttUPTlONS ANU.EauVTiVEDlskASE3, mCEU-S, -ESf otcues, Tumous, Salt Rueum, ecxLij nAnr Stphilts Aim StphiliticAf rECTioxs, STekcurial Disease, Dropsy, Neu ralgia ou Tic Doclocrecx, Debility, Dys pepsia AND lNDIGESTION,lEtt.Y8IPELAS, ROSE or Sr. Anthony's Fire, and indeed the whole class of complaints arising from Impurity op the Blood. ' This compound will be found a great pro moter of health, when taken in the spring to ! fTO fculiwswB blood afcthat seasoji of the-yeariBy thetime v ; ly expulsioli of them mtfiyranklirlg disdrders -are nipped in the bud. Multitudes can, by the aid of this remedy, spare themselves from .the endurance of foul eruptions and ulcerous sores, through wliich the system will strive to rid itself of corruptions, if not assisted to do - this through the natural channels of the body by an ; alterative medicine. Cleanse out the vitiated blood whenever you find its impurities bursting through the skin in pimples, eruptrons, or sores; cleanse it when you find it is ob structed and, luggjsl in the veins ; cleanse it whenever it isr four,nd UrfeelingVwUI telll) you when. Even where no particular disorder is felt,; people enjoy better health, and live longer,! for cleansing the blood. Keep the blood healthy, and all is well ; but with this pabulum of life disorder there can be no lasting j health. Sooner J or later ; something must go wrong, and the great machinery of life is disordered or overthrown. Sarsaparilla has, and deserves much, the reputation of accomplishing ftheseends. But the world has been egregiously deceived by preparations of it, partly because the drug alone has not all the virtue that is claimed , for it, but more because many preparations, pretending to be concentrated extracts of it, cor jain but little of the virtue of Sarsaparilla, ojPfiiy thing else. During late years the public have been mis led by large bottles, pretending to give a quart ' of Extract ot Ssaparil Wfor piie dollar Most f of these JkVe beeiii frauds Jpcfeijthe.skj: for j they not only contain' little, if any, Sarsapa- rilla, but often no curative properties whatev er. Hence, bitter and painful disappointment has follo;,l the use of the various extracts of "Sarsaparii;Avhic8i flood the market, until the name itself is justly despised, and has become synonymous with imposition and cheat. Still we call this compound Sarsaparilla, and intend to supply such a remedy as shall rescue the name from the load of obloquy which rests upon it. And wejtliiijk wejiave ground for by the ordinary'run of llietuscuse3 it is intend ed to cilre. In order to secure their complete eradication from the system, the remedy should be judiciously taken according to directions on the bottle. J PREPARED BY U; J. C. AYEI6 & CO. LOWELL, MASS.
