CHAPTER I.
THE INLAND OF SILVER-TTOKE.
It was in the year of our Lord one thousand seven
hundred and forty-four. ‘bat I, Gill Davis to com
ir.and. Hie Mark, having then the honor to be &
private in the Royal Marine*, stood a leaning over
the bulwark? of the armed sloop Christopher Co

that therein no each etirietiM-nsine as Gill, and

was doing nothing I was thinking of the * hep herd
(my father, 1 wonder?) on the Li 1 id ? of Shor
rulge Bottom, with a long rial.and with a rough
white coat in all weather-, and the year round, who
lined to let me lie in a corner of his h by night,
and who used to iet me go about with him and hi?
sheep by day when 1 could get nothing else to do,
and who used to give me so little of hi- victuals, and
so much of hi? staff, that 1 ran away from him —
which was what he wanted ail along, I expect—tobe
knocked about the wond in pret -r< r*ce to Shorridge
Bottom. I had been kicked about the world for
nine and twenty years in all, when I stood looking
along those bright blue s min American waters. —
Looking after the shepherd, I may say. Watching
him in a half-waking dream, with my eye? half shut,
as be, and his Hock of sheep, and hut two dogs,
seemed to move away from t;.o chip's fide, tar
away over the blue wale and go right down into
the ?ky
“It’s rising out of the water, steady,” a voice
said close to me I Lad been thinking on so, that it.

“O ! The island!” says I, turning tny eyes to

M v comrade and 1 had been quartered in Jamai
ca, and from there we had been dratted <ff to the
British sttlement of Be.i/a, lying away west and
mirth of the Mosquito co 4-t. At Belize there had
been great alarm of one cruel gam’ of pirvates
those Caribbean hea? ) and a- they got the better
of our English cruisers by i tinning into out-oftlm
way creeks and shallow*, and taking the land when
they were hotly preyed, the Governor of Belize had
received orders from home t keep a sharp look
out for them along shore Now, there wai an arm
ed sloop came once a year from Fort Royal, Jamai
ca, to the inland, lad* i with all manner of necessa
ries to cat and to drink, and to wear, and to use in
various ways ; and it was aboard ot that sloop which
had touched at Belize that 1 was a standing leaning
over the bulwarks.
The island was occupied by a very small English
colony. It had b< n given the mnno oLSiiver
Store. Therasonof it being h > r ailed was, that
the English colony owned and worked a silver mine
over on the main lane, in lloutturns, and used this
inland as a safe and convenient place to store their
idlvei in, until it whs annually lets bed away by the
stoop. It was brought down from the miue to the
coast on the bas k* of mules, attended by friendly
Indians and guarded by white men ; from thence,
it was conveyed over to hib. er Store, when the
weather was fair, in the canoe of that country;
from Silver Store, it was carried t*> Jamaica by the
aimed sloop once a year, as I have already men
tioned from Jamaica it went, of course, all over the
world.
How I came to be aboard the armed sloop is easi
ly told. Foiir-and-t wen’y marines, under command
of a lieutenant—that officer’s name was Under
wood—had been to id < flat Belize, to proceed to Sil
ver Store, in aid of boats and (seamen stationed
there for the cha-<* of the Pirates. The island was
considered a good post of observation against the
pirates, both by land and n**a; neither the p rates
ship nor yet her boats had been seen by any of us,
but they had been so much heard of, that the rein
toicement was sent. Os that party, l was one. It
included a corporal and a sergeant, (jbarker was
corporal, and tlie sergeant s name was Droooe lie
win* the most tyrannical mm commissioned officer
hi his Majesty’s service.
The night came on, soon afu r I ! ad had the fore
going words with (.’barker. All of the wonderlul
bright colors w* nt out of the sea and sky in a tew
minuter, and all the st ir* in the heavens seemed to
shim- out together, and to look down at themselves
hi the sea, over one another’s shoulders, millions
deep. Next morn it ; we cast am hoi oil'the island.
There was a snug hat bur within a little reef: there
was a sandy beach ; there were cocoa nut trees with
high straight stems, quite bare, and foliage at the
lop like plumes of magnificent gretn feathers; there
were all the objects that are usually seen in those
parts, and I am not going to describe them, having
something else to tell about.
Great rejoicings, to l>c sure, were made on our
arrival. All the flags In tin* place were hoisted, all
the guns in the place were fired, ami all the people
m the place earned wn to look at us. One ol those
Sambo fellows they call those native Sambo*,
when they arc half negro and halt Indian—had
conn* oft outside the ref, to pilot u * in, ami remain
ed oa board after we had let go our anchor, lie
was called Christian G •• :• King, and was fonder
of all hands than any body cKe was. Now, 1 con
fess, for myself, that on that first day, if 1 had been
captain of the Christopher Columbus, in tea l of
private in the Royal Marines, l should have k ck> and
Christian George King— who was no more a Chris
tian than he was n King, or a George—over the
ride, without exactly knowing why, ex apt that and
was the light thing to do.
But, l must likewise confess that 1 was not in a
particularly pleasant humor when 1 stood under
arms that morning, aboaid th Christopher Colum
bus, iu the harbor of the Island of Silver Store. 1
had hail a hard life, ami the life of the English on the
Island seemed too easy and too gay to please me.—
“Here you an*,” 1 thought to my*clf, “good schol
ars and good livers; able to rea l what you like,
able to write what you like, able to eat ami drink
what you like, aud spend what you like, ami do
what you like , and much • v care foi a poor, igno
rant private in the Royal Marines! Vet it’s hard
too. 1 think, that you should have all the balf-pence
ami 1 all the kicks ; yen all the smooth ami l all the
rough ; you all the oil, and 1 all tho vinegar.’ It
was as envious a thing to think as tn ght be, let
alone its being non?; i< a!, but l thought it I
took it so much amiss, tha’, when a very beautiful
young English lady canu* aboard I grunted to my
self, “Ah’ you have got a loves, I’ll be bound 1 ‘

She was sister to the cap-mu our sloop, who
had been in $. poor way for *me time, and who was
so ill then tha. he was obliged to be carried ashore.
She was theo.fiid of a militaryofticer, and had come
out there with her sister, who was married to one of
the owners of the oitver-miue, and who had three
children with her. I: was easy to say that she was
the light and spirit of the island. After 1 Lad get
a good look at h?r. 1 grunted to mys* If again, iu an
even worse state of mind than before, “I’ll be dam
ued if l don’t hate him, whoever ho is!
My officer. Lieutenant L'uderwt • and. was as id a c
the captain ot the sloop, and was carried ashore, too.

sunk her in a quarter of au hour !)
However, such were my retie< tions ; and when
we inen were ashore and dismissed, I stroked about
the place along with Charker, making uiy observa
tions in a s:mi’ar spirit.
It was a pretty place it: ml i arrangements,

there. The Cnrisiopher Columbus would have a

yield that year—a much richer yield than usual —
and there was a chest of jewels beside the silver.
When we had looked about u-, and were getting
sheepish, through tearing we were troublesome,ehe
t urned us over to a young woman, English bora
but West India bred, who served her as her maid.
TL is young woman was the wido w of a non-coin
missioned officer in a regiment of the bne. She had
got married and widowed at St. Vincent, with only
a few months between the two events. She wa* a
lit lie saucy woman with a bright pa:r of eyes, rather
a l* at littie foot and figure, and rather a neat little
turned up n*,-e. The sort of young woman, I con
quered at the time, who appeared to invite you to
give ;er a kiss, and wLo would have slapped your
face if vou accepted the invitation.
I Couldn’t make out her name at first; for when
Ai*- gave it in answer to my inquiry, it sounded like
Behwtt, which didn’t sound right. But, when we

non -commissioned officer was Tott. Being the kind

The name of the captain of the sloop was* (Japtaiu

Mrs. Beiitott that his sister, the beautifu unarmed

two names in my thoughts like a bit of verse. O

We saw out ali the drink that was produced, like
good in -n and true, and then took our leaves, and
went down to the beach. The wmtkm wwa bounti
ful ; the wind steady, low and geutle; the island, a
picture; the sea, a picture; the sky, a picture. In
that country there are two rainy season* in the year.
One seta in at about our English midsummer; the
oi i.ei about a fortnight after our EnglieL Michael
mas. It was the beginning of August at that time ;
the first of these rainy seasons was well over, and
everything was in its most beautiful growth and had
its loveliest look upon it.
“ Tney enjoy themselves here,” I says to Char
ker, turning surly again. “ This ia better than pri
vate soldiering.”
We had comedown to the beach, to be friendly
with the boat e crew r who were camped and hutted
there; arid we were approaching towards their
quarters over the sand, when Chri.: ian George King
comes up from the landing place at a wolfe’s
trot, crying, “ Yup, So-Jeer!”—which was that

may be a right one or it may be a wrong one ; but,
I never did like natives, except in the form of oys

."jo, when Christian George King, who was indi
vidually unpleasant to me besides, comes a trotting
■ i'.ng the sand, clucking “ Yup, So Jeer 1 ’ I had a
thundering good mind to let tly at him with my
right. I certainly should have done it, but that it
would have exposed me to reprimand.
“ V up, So-Jeer! 4 ’ says he. “ Bad job.”
“ What do you mean f says J.
“ Yup, So-Jeer !” says he, “Ship leakee.”
“Shipleaky saysl.
“Ibs, ’ says he, with a nod that looked as if it was
jerked out of him by a most violent hiccup—which
is the way with those s
Jch my vc *at Charker, and we both heard the
pumps g ng aboard the (Loop, and saw the signal
run up. “Come on board ; hands wanted from the
shore.” In no time some of the sloop's liberty men
vveie already running down to the water’s edge, and

Pirates, were putting off to the Columbus iu two
boats.

of crying was to setew his black knuckle into his

lty some means or other eho lmd sprung such a
leak that no pumping would keep her free; and
what between the two tears that she would go down
in the harbor, and that, even if she did not, all the
supplies she had brought for the lirtle colony would
be *b stroyed by the sea water as it rose in her, there
was great confusion. In the midst of it, (’apt. Mary
on was heard hailing from the beach. He had been
carried and wn in Lis hammock, and locked very
bad ; but ho inisted on being stood thereon his feet;
and I saw him, myself, come off iu the boat, sitting
upright in the stern sheets, as if nothirg was wrong
with him.
A quick sort of council was held, aud Capt. Mary
on soon resolved that we must all fall to work to get
the cargo out, and that wheu that was done, the
gun and heavy matters must be got out, aud that
the sloop must be hauled ashore, and careened and the
leak stopped. VYe were all mustered (the Pi rate chase
party v luateering) and told off into parties, with so
many hours of spell and so many hours of reliet, and
we all v*utat it with a will. Christian George
King was entered one of the party in which I work
ed, at his own request, aud he went at it with as
good a will as any of the rest. He went at it with
so much heartiness that he rose ia my good opinion
almost as fast as the water rose in the ship. Which
was fast enough, and foster.
Mr. Commissioner Pordage, kept iu a red and
black japanned box, I ke a family lump sugar box,
s me documents or other which some Sum bo chief
or other had got drunk and spilt acme ink over, (as
well an I could understand the matter.) ami by that
means had given up law:ul possession of the Island.
Through having hold of this box, Mr. Pordage got
his title ol'Commissioner, lie wad styled Consul,
too, and spoke of himself as “Government.”
lie was a stiff jointed, high-nosed old gentleman,
without an ouuce of fat on him, of a very angry
temper and a very yellow complexion. Mrs. Com
missu-ner Pordage, making a’lowance for difference
of sex, was much the same. Mr. Kitten, a •small
youngish, bald, botanical and iriincralogical gentle
man, also connected with the mine—but eveiybody
there w;i- that, more or less—was sometimes called
by Mr. Commissioner Pordage his Vice Cotntnis
ioner, and sometimes his Deputy-Consul. (Yr
sometimes he spoke ot Mr. Kitten merely as being
“under Government.”
The beach was beginning to be a lively scene
with the preparations for careening t lie sloop, and,
with cargo, ami spin's, and rigging, and water-casks,
dotted about il, and with temporary quarters for
the men rising up there out of suc h sails and odds
and ends ics could be best set on one aide to make
them, when Mr. Commissioner Pordage comes down
in a high Hosier, and asks for Captain Mar yon. The
(lapUiti, ill as he was. was slung in his hammock
betwixt two trees, that he might direct, and he
raised hia head, aud answered for himself.
“Captain Maryon,” cries Mr. Commissioner
Pordage, “this ia not official. This is not regH’ar.”
“Sir, ‘ says bo Captain, “it has been arranged
with the clerk and supercargo that you should be
communicated with, and vcip eated to render any
little assistance that may be m your power. lam
quite certain that hath been duly done.”
“Capt. Maryon,” replies Mr. Commissioner
Pordage, “there hath been no written correspond
ence. No documents have passed, no memoranda
have been made, no minutes have been made, no
entries and counter entries appear iu tho official
muniments. This is indecent. 1 call upon you, sir,
to desist until all is regular, or Government will
tnk* this up.”
“Sir,” says Capt. Maryon, ch ifiug a little, as he
looked out of his hammock; “between the chances
of Government faking this up, and my ship taking
herself down, I much prefer to trust myself to the
former.”
“You do, sir?” cries Mr. Commissioner Pordage.
“1 do, sir,” says Captain Maryon, lying down
agin.
“Then, Mr. Kitten,” says the Commissioner,
“s**nd up instantly for my diplomatic coat.*’
1 It* was dressed in a linen suit at that moment;
but Mr. Kitten started off himself, and brought
down the diplomatic coat, which was a blue cloth
one, gold laced, and with a crown 011 the button.
“Now V i Kitten,” says Pordage, “1 instruct you
a Vice Commissioner and Deputy Consul of this
place, to demand ot Capt. Maryou, of the sloop
Christopher Columbus, whether he drives me to the
act of putting this coat
“Mi Pordage, ” says Capt. Maryon, looking out
of his hammock again, “as 1 can hear what you say,
l can answer i without troubling the gentleman
I should be sorry that you should be at the pains of
putting on too hot a coat on my account; but, oth
erwise, you may pul it on hiudside before, or inside
out,or with your legs in the sleeves, or your head in
the skirts, for any objection that 1 have to offer to
your thoroughly pleasing yourself.”
“Very good, Capt. Maryon,” says Pordage, in a
tremendous passion. “Very good. sir. Hethec. n
.-equetuf - on your own head ! Mr. Kitten, as it has
come to this, help me on with it.
When he had given that order, he walked off in
the coat, and all our names were taken, and I was
afterwards told that Mr. Kitten wrote from his dic
tation more than a bushel of large paper on the sub
ject, which cost more before it was done with than
ever could be calculated, and which only got done
y- ith after all by being lost.
Our work went on merrily, nevertheless, and the
Christopher Columbus, hauled up, lay helpless ou
uer s;de Ike a great fish out of water. While she
was in that state, there was a feast or a ball, or an
entertainment, or more properly all three together,
given us in honor of the ship, aud the ship's compa
ny, and the other visitors. At that assembly, 1 be
lieve, l saw all the inhabitants then upon the Island,
without any exception. I took no particular notice
of more than a few, but I found it very agreeable
in that little corner of the world to see the children
who were of all ages, and mostly very pretty—as
tbt-y mostly are. There was one handsome elderly
lady, with \ cry daik eyes and grey hair, that I in
clined about I was told that her name was Mrs.
Venning; and her married daughter, a fair slight
;h mg, was pointed out to me by the came o’ Fanny

of herself holding to her dress; and her husband,

her. They were a good looking set of people on the

in conversation with Charter. I found fault with all
of them. 1 said of Mrs. Veuniug, she was proud ;
of Mrs. Fisher, she was a delicate little baby fool.

LIVERPOOL, Jan. 29—The Broken’ Circular re
; port* that tbe market opened with an extensive demand
| from the trade, at tn advance of fully id. on Ameri
! can description -, f übsequettly the market be.ame
j more quiet, and the advance wa.s hardly maintained. —
! The sale* oi the week (four days on.’y) amount te 49,690
i bales, inc'uding about 5,000 to speculators, and 5,500 to
• exporter- Friday's business was 5,000 bales, including
| 500 for export, the market closing heavily at rather low
i trrates. The official quotations are:—Fair Orlerus 6i;
! middling 6]d Fair Mobile 6 11-16•, middling 6<T6d.— —
| Fair Cplands G:: middling 6;d. Ihe stock on hand is
i estimated at 369,510 baled, including 190,800 American.
Tne Manche ter market has not responded to the im
i provement in Liverpool and trade remains quiet.
! SAVANNAH. Jan ‘-29 —Cotton —The day on which
! our last circular cl sed. the market was stagnant with a
I drooping tendency. On Friday more animation was
| exhibited, and tbe tone rather improving. The sales
were 64? hales. Saturday the enquiry continued good,
and 800 bales changed hands at prices as high as the day
previous. On Monday the Enropa was announced, with
a week's later news from Liverpool; Middling Uplands
were quoted in the circulars she brought at 6?d-- aeing
an advance of id. on the previous accounts. This intel
ligence completely unsettled our market. Buyers were
content to hold otf until the effect of the accounts couid
be ?een ; bat amongst sellers, the greatest diversity of
opinion existed—all of them wanted to advance prices,
some increased ic., others Lc., and some asked as much
as Ic. advance. There was but ittlc done, however,
only lef L bales having been sold. On Tuesday, a change
lock place; buyers now demanded concessions, and as
sellers became more numerous and anxious, the conces
sions bad to be made.
The change which took place, was caused by the an
ticipation of a decline in the Liverpool market in re
sponse to the decline ia this country, of which each
steamer was carrying them fresh accounts. At the time
of the sailing of the Europa from Liverpool, their latest
date from this country was the 25th December. Tn our
circular of that date Middlings were quoted at 9?c., with
a drooping tendency. Th. Canad - sa led from this conn
try the 30:h Dec., at which time we quoted Middlings
fz9c , showing a decline o 40. Tbe Persia sailed
the tith inst, aud carried out our worst accounts, w hich
quoted Middlings at Stc , and it is the response to these
account* w hich are looked for with so much anxiety.—
Allowing the trip each way to occupy fourteen days, we
cannot receive it before the sth of February.
The feeling produced by this apprehension, caused
buyers to ask a reduction of Jc., and though a fair en
quiry existed and 900 bales were sold, the market was
languid aud declining. The depression increased on
Wednesday, and a farmer decline of £c. was established.
There was a fair enquiry and sales ot 1100 bales were es-
fected.
Ou Friday the Kangaito was announced with Liver
pool dates to the 13th. Her accounts had no inllnence
on our ma-ket, the day passing off quietly with limited
transactions, and no cLange in prices.

Hice —“TV’e have to report an active market, resulting
in sales of 1160 casks, at extremes ranging from 2 9 16S’
3*c.
Flour —Iu consequence of the large stock and limited
demand, prices have a declining tendency, and sales can
only be effected with difficulty at low prices. The re
ceipts are falling off some in consequence of these causes.
Sales of Superfine in bbls Lav. been made at $5.75 at

Oats —Are in goodflem&nd, and firm at 60 cents from
store.
Bacon— We have no change for the better to report in
Bacon. Our jobbers seem encouraged as tbe accounts
from Tennessee indicate moie firmness , but our whole
sale dealers continue their complaints of depression
For new Tennessee Bacon, w e Lave been furnished the
following quotations by the single hhd.: Ribbed Sides 11
cents; Clear 111; Shoulders 10c.; ilams 124913 c. A

more, 5 16c. To New York, by steamship, 5-16 cents for
square, ic. for round bales.
Exchanges —Domestic Exchanges continue irregular,
and some difficulty is experienced in getting funds from
Ihe interior lo the sea ports. Sight Checks on New York
have a downward tendency, as payments to that quar
ter grow lighter, aud produce is sent forward iu increas
ed quantities; added to this, the U. S. Treasury Notes
will serve tojpav the duties on our import J , and answer in
the place of exchange. We quote as extremes, 293
cert, premium In Sterling the supply has been fair,
and ranges from 697 4* cent prera. Considerable quan
tities have been sent from tho city to points where higher
prices are commanded.
CHARLESTON, Jan. 29.— Cotton —The market for
several days preceding he date of our last publication,
was very quiet. The little that was done did not sus
tain the eary transactions, aud when we closed our in
quiries prices were all of ic. easier. Middling Fair at
the time was valued at I0;|c. The market, during the
first two days of the week under review, presented no
now feature The transactions were limited to about
300 bales. The stock iu the mean time had burn accu
mulating, and when the market opened on Monday,
holders met buyers freely upon those terms, and that,
too, in the lace of favorable advices received by the
steamer Europa. The sales of the day reached upwards
of 1100 bales. The demand had greatly improved on
Tuesday but as on the previous day, sellers evinced
every disposition to meet the demand, aud prices were
perhaps a shade easier, and these remarks may apply
w ith equal force to the operations of Wednesday. The
transactions during these two days took off about 3100
bales, and at the close of business on tbe latter day, the
market was again pretty well cleared of tbe available
stock. The demand was renewed on Thursday, but the
want of a supply, coupled with the full rates demanded
for the little that was offering, forced buyers to with
draw, which they did, afier having purchased to the
extout of 973 bales. The market closed firm, at tbe sub
joined quotations, viz : Low to Strict Middling 9; w 10} ;
Good MiddlinglOg 'a 10V ; Middling Fair JO (/301 ; and
Fair 11c. The receipts of the week reach 9362 bales,
aud the sales iu tbe same time 5682 bales at the subjoin
ed prices : 8 baler at 8 ; 30 at 8| ; 45 at ft} ; 60 at 8 j ; 72
at 9 ; 10!) at 91 ; 386 at 9} ; 313 at 9*; 312 at 9}; 67 at
9 * , 348 at 10; 370 at 10! ; 800 at lOi ; 338 at 10s ; 1070
at 10} ; 105 at 10 9-16 ; s*.* at 10'; 102 at 10$ ; and 300
bales, Fair, Georgia selections, at 11c.
Rice —We have again to report a very good demand
for this article. The transactions iu the better qualities
show an improvement of i d ie , w hile those in the lower
grades, or Ordinary to Fair qualities, have established
rather lower ra es. The extremes have ranged from
2j </53j ; but the bulk of the sales were made within tho
margin of s2} 93! per liundrt and.
Cosm —The receipts since cur last reach upwards of
17,300 bushels North Carolina, whi ;h have been sold at
62967 c.; the latter figure, however, is an extreme rate,
and would require .a very superior parcel to briug it.
Flour —There lias been au a tive aud very general
demand for this article since he date of our la t report,
both for home cor. sumption and export. The margin on
some grades has rather widened, [but tbe transactions
have established no material change. We quote Mid
diings in barrels s4s 94} ; do. in sacks $2192}; Fine,
in barrels s4s a 5 ; do. iu sacks s2l 92} ; Superfine, bar
rels ss} rt sii ; do. in sacks $2; 92; ; and.Extra, barrels
65$ a6 j ; do. in sacks $2393 sac*.
Bacon —The market is entirely bare of Sides, and the
little that was on hand at the opening of tho week was
sold at 101 910}c.
Salt —The stock is very heavy, and every one seems
to be well supplied. We have heard of several transac
tions in a small way at prices ranging from 45 to 65c.
sack, according to the size and condition of the sack
Bagging and Hope —We notice a sale of Gunny Cloth
at 11 }c.; holders generally however are demanding 12c.
Sugars —The receipts since our last have been very
heavy, ami amount in the aggregate to fully lOCOhhds.,
the whole of which reached us from Lou siana. This
heavy accession to the stock has depressed the market.
We note sales of some 250 hhds., at 5 to 7 cents and up
wards, asinqua.ity ; the bulk of the sales however
changed hands within the margin of 697 c.
Coffee —The transactions have been confined princi
pally to the sales at auction of 250 bags Ilio descriptions
slightly Ftained, at 9} a 9ic.
Molasses —The market has also been largely supplied
this week with this article, tyythe arrival of 2200'0-2400
bbls New Orleans, and 670 packages of Cuba, 600 of
which were hhds. This heavy supply has depressed the
market ami prices are decidedly lower. About li.OO
bbls of the former had been sold prior to arrival at 289
30c, and contracts have been recently closed w hich have

DENNIS’ ALTERATIVE,
OR GEORGIA SARSAPARILLA COMPOUND,
1 PREPARED by J. DENNIS, M. D., Augusta, G*.,
for Diseases of the Liver and to Purify the Blood.
It contains, iu addition to Sarsaparilla, the hydro-alco
holic extract of Queen’s Delight . (Stillingia) White x\sh,
Grey Beard or Fringe Tree, (Cliionanthus) Tincture of
May Apple cr Mandrake, (Podophyllum) and Blood
Root, (Sanguinaria.)
In small doses it acts as an alterative or laxative, in
larger doses as a mild purgative— with some as an active
purgative.
As an alterative or laxative, it has been found useful
in Constipation of the Bowels, Jaundice, Bilious Fever,
Fever and Ague, Sick Head Ache, Dizziness, various Fe
male Complaints. Chronic Affections of the Liver, second
ary Syphilis aud Syphiloid Diseases, Scrofulous Affec
tions,” Sores, Ulcers. Blotches, Cutaneous Eruptions, or
Diseases of the Skin, and all other disea-es in which ar
saparilla or alterative medicines are indicated.
That it acts upon the Liver, may be known from the
fact, that in Jaundice, or cases of Biliousness, it causes
free bilious evacuations, readily removes unnatural yel
low tinge about the eyes and upon the skin, and im
proves the health and spirits.
In Cutaneous Eruptions. Blotches, Pimples and other
diseases of the skin, it causes the disappearance of the
Blotches, Pimp es, Ac., and greatly improves the com
plexion.
Asa diet drink, it keep3 the bowels free, the liver
heaithy. and the blood pure.
IU healthy action on the liver, and purifying effect up
on the blood, make it a great safeguai and aga.nst disease ;
for children a safeguard against worms—it causes *n in
creased secretion and parage of the bile, which acts as
an irritant to worms aud prevents their accumulation.
Physicians, who have made extensive use of the diffe
rent ingredients of this preparation of Sarsaparilla, re
gard them as the best and most efficient agents in the
Materia Medica.
It is put up in pint bottles. Price $1 per bottle.
