A t> VU LOVE tTOBI..
DBDICIIED TO riKBNTs AND PHYSICIANS.
ii'Twn twelve o'clock, the guest* were gone,
Aud she and X were left alone.”
L
I called her lore and darling, but
ado anaw< red not a word ;
I called her Venus, and I said
a lie was the bu.bul bird;
I told her that her face waa bright,
That diamonds were her eyes,
An I that her hair had hues of light
Which came from Paradise;
X said her ueck was swan like, anil
Her bust of classic mould ;
That a "wu itc m odder " was her band
For sculptor to behold;
T.iat her dear feet were tiny, and
Her walk aii graco ands. eo.
Her t nU eiuemb'e one that might
Make to nes of poetry ;
And that tur min l was i.ko her form,
A m irvel of delight—
The one a temple rieh and warm,
The re-t a spirit bright
I fell before her, and t swore,
By night and day t«* love.
That never had l known before
What Taras a mortal to adore,
Hut still she would not more.
U.
I spoke of silks and dresses,
And of ribands of all hues,
Os artificial tresses, and
Os all the Paris news,
Os scandals, deaths, aud weddings.
Receptions, parties, balls,
Births, fashion-plates aud opera,
Still, sileul as the walls !
I toid of gnawing love, and how
It racked the heart full sore,
The horrid worm that feeds upon
Life’s sweetest, teud’rest core;
Baid I: "See symptoms of that worm,
As never seen before,”
“ Symptoms thou ouly can’st abate,
T ieo ouly 1 adore."
Aud yet my words all pleaded wers
As vaiuly as before.
111.
The poets next within my reach,
The soulful poets all,
With touches fervid from my muse,
Love’s deepest, basest thrall;
luseusate still ! —one effort more
lu French, Italian spoken,
The French mauvati, but such as wo
Call "good, though little broken,"
TtT Italian from the opera
With fond dramatic token
still r gid silence, still the maid
Hushed as a desert’s inmost shade.
IV.
In desperation then I caught
Hope In a golden view !
Perhaps affection might be bought—
O, idea dread, not new,
For Shukespeare, 1 believe, has said
Thai quiet jewels often
Will run clean through a darling’s head,
Which nothing else can soften.
V.
Forth from its case I took a gem
That glittered i u my sight,
Aud asked her l! to otferit
In humblest lic« I might ?
She thought it pr«t y, S o she said,
And toyed with ha while,
Then gave it back tc me again
With suen a listlesi uuiie,
I cried : “ it is no counterfeit,
But stones of precious worth ;
Tlie gold is rich, the artist rare,’
Aud are such food for mirth?”
"0, no," she said, “it is not that”
Then back relapsed, aud silent sat!
VI.
"Marvel of womankind," I
“Whom flattery will not r-ove,
Nor jewels lit for royal Klde,
Nor agony of love,
With whom French falls; nor opera,
Nor lac as, ribands stir,
Whom **aught can tempt to smile Or sigh,
A statue wouia thou werel
What problem thou of all thy sex,
And must I then depart
To feel thro’ life the dark regret
That tuou dost lack a heart ?”
VII.
No answer. And the languid lid
Os one dear, almond eye
Juil drooped its fringe till half it hid
That star in beauty’s sky.

. , .age I thundered out
In ,J e , al aherL beloved;

Vet not one feature moved.
" Perchance,” I raved “thou wilt not wed,
Os Dian’s shrine art thou,
Chauti g faint hymns unto the moon,
All dead to mortal vow;
A convent is thy heart, iny love,
A convent, and no more?”
Yet not a feature seemed to move,
But—did —I - hear—a—suore ?

In slnm’ cr deep I left the maid
To learn, alas! that she
Was of the sort whom 1 had heard*
Where given to a "spree,”
Whenever she eould siyiy get
The liquor closet key,
And thought that she could ‘sleep It Off”
Before a soul should see
That her repose and statlincsa
Were wine, not dignity;
And but her maid the secret knew
When she was what the men call “ blue.”
Liu l 1 but left an hour before,
1 had escaped the tell tale suore.
XI.
She often saw her father “ tight,”
And genteel man wa9 he;
Often she saw her brother reel
And laugh about his “spree;"
And heard his tales of uigutly rouse
At midnight thro’ the town,
And how he staggered to the house,
Gay us a circus clown.
Glasses had jingled in her ears
From iufaucy till then,
For scarce a night but drunken cheers
She heard from merry men;
“’ ideas dinner glee,” her mother said,
Aud so, by slow degrees,
This lovely Fanny drooped her head,

Therefore the doctor had
Prescribed for her small doses mild

Juit as he had prescribed of yore,
For m inima, aud for dad. B.
* l’hls conceit sprang out of an editorial descrip
tion in the Round Tnbl* of female license in New
York, in some "polite” quarters The reckless
way in which physicians recommend the use of
stimulants to ladies, whisky being the favored
liquor, is a startling fact.
K Vl)l.\G BEAUTY.
The green is fading from each leaf,
The flowers die on the bill,
The whispering winds have almost hushed
The murmuring of the rill I
Tin sun that lit the earth with gold,
While sinking to its rest.
Has hung a crimson banner out
To brighten up the West.
The song birds, too, have ceased to sing
Among the fading flowers.
And left a requiem sighing there
For Summer’s dying hours!
And even Nature seems to mourn
To watch bright moments die—
Yet fading beauty lingers on
Each leaflet floating by.
How can they say the summer tlm*
Is sweeter than the fall ?
Oh! are not autumn’s withered leaves
More beautiful than all ?
And can the bright blush of the rose,
However soft and fair.
Be half as lovelv as the touch
Os dying beauty there?
Oh: no—let others weep to see
The beauteous summer fade—
There is a s«eeter charm for me
In autumn’s mellow almde!
The withered flowers that droop and die—
Each sere aud yellow leaf—
-Beems but an emblem of this l.fe
80 fading and so brief.
The flush must fade from every cheek,
The lustre from each eye.
And all things beautiful must fade,
For all were made to die!
The smile must leave the laughiDg lip,
And joyous hours depart,
For Death’s cold touch at last will chill
The fountain of the heart.

The Traveler’s Last Inn,
OK
THE INN KEEPER OF SAUVERGNE
Dy the Author of the “ Orange Girl of Venice.”
CHAPTER I.
I was traveling in Prussia, for the
house of M. Lescois, of Paris, whoso
transactions in that country were of an
importance to confer on him the souln-i.
rjiidt of “tlio great, little Prussian dea
ler.” for M. Lescois was very slender
and diminutive in person, whilo his for
eign and domestic business was perhaps
a-T large as that of any house iu all
France.
At tho village of Lergue, I had suc
ceeded in creating an additional corres
pondent for tho house of M. Lescois;
and highly pleased at my success, re
turned t<> my inn to take a lunch, set
tle my bill, seize my portmanteau and
start for lierse.
When 1 finished my meal, I stepped
up to mine host, and whilo paying his
charges, inquired tho nearest route to
Berse.
‘•To Berse!” repeated tho landlord,
thoughtfully.
‘‘Are you for Borso?”
“To Berse!” said another voice near
mo. “Are you for Berse ?"
I turned, somewhat surprised, and be
held a tall, straight, slender man, of per
haps some eight-and-twenty or thirty
years. He was neatly, but genteely
dressed in a suit of dark blue, and bore
the aspect and appearance of ono who
had seen enough of the world to carve
through the balance of his career in
the face of all opposition.
His appearance pleased me, and I
was glad of the prospect of having him
for a companion ; lor, notwithstanding
the admirable regulations of the mount
ed infantry police of Prussia, there is
still sufficient danger to travelers, in
journeying through tho provinces, to
make them rejoice at every accession
to their ranks.
“1 am for Berse," said I, addressing
the traveler.
“Are you ?”
“Yes,” was the brief reply.
“When do you set out?”
“As soon as I shall have dispatched
this plate. Will monsieur wait?”
“Yes.”
In a few minutes he was ready, and
we quitted tho inn.
“We have some fifteen miles to travel
before we shall reach Berse,” said my
companion, as we entered on the high
road, “and wo may as well understand
each other. Are you on business or
pleasure ?”
“Why do you ask?”
“You will know p*-oo®«>tij."
uj on business. And you?”
“Am on business also," he replied.
“It is then our interest as well as our
duty to take the shortest path. That
is my opinion. Is it yours ?”
“Unquestionably.”
“Very good. Now let us examine
‘■ho two routes by which wo can reach
om destination. Tho high road, on
whie’ l we are now traveling, is clear
and <laigerleßS, but marked by fifteen
mile-stono. to p ass a j| Q f which will take
till ten o eloor i Then it will benight,
and from the appearance of the
sky, as black as p*,.}, »
“Well”
J lie road through tlu forest may be
dangerous, but it is only \Breo hours
travel. Which path shall wo take to
Borso?”
“I am armed,” said I, “and have u 0
fears. And you ?”
“I, too, am armed, and have no fears.
Tt is then decided that wo take tho
forest routo ?”
“It is.”
We set forward at once.
My portmanteau was small and light,
and I slung it over my buck, and it
Imngsuspended by a belt running across
111}’ breast and around my shoulders.
I his gave free use to my arms, in case
of an emergency, as well as enabled me
to carry with ease a small sword-cane,
whose long, sharp, slender blade was
made of die trustiest and finest temper
ed steel.
My companion carried a similar wea
pon, but ono somewhat heavier than
mine. He handled it, however, as if it
were a feather, and carried it with a
grace that astonished mo.
“You have other weapons in case of
need ?” sai l lie carelessly.
“Oh, yes,” I replied cautiously, but
without naming them ; for it is not
well, as I know by experience, to reveal
all that wo know, or show all that we
have.
“As for me,” he continued, in the
same apparently careless tone, “I have
this sword cane, a brace of pistols and
a knife.”
"Excellent weapons in case of need,”
I observed, “which I fervently trust
will not be the case.”
< T •*tjr*£\ck with ron,” ins responded,
and then fell into silence.
In a few minutes we reached and en
tered the forest. It presented a wild,
frightful aspect, and I half repented my
willingness to enter it; but shame pre
vented ine from admitting as much to
my companion who looked around and
before him, and strodo on, in search of
the path to Berse, with all the coolness
of one long accustomed to danger.
Wo pushed on, and keeping to the
lelt, soon came to a path.
“This must be the one,” observed my
companion. “It is ten years since I
last traveled this forest, but I think 1
am right. I don’t remember these
trees, it is true, nor this large stone.
But ten years change the face of things,
and why not here? This stone must
have been put here since,” he added,
after a few moment’s reflection. “What
say you, comrade, shall we risk it?”
“1 have confidence iu your judgment,
and will leave it to you.”
“Thank you,” he returned. “Then
forward.”
Wo pursued the path, which was so
narrow and grass-grown, that it merely
indicated a road without permitting
margin enough for even one person to
walk upon it.
Wo walked each side of it; and as
we pushed on, the forest became thicker
and denser, and darker.
“M e must be cautious,” observed my
companion, “and have our arms readv.
Robberies and murders have taken place
hero before now.”
“1 should suppose that nothing of
tho kind eould take place in any part of
Prussia, in these days,” I said, laughing
to hidi the slight fears which I feared
were visible on my checks. “The laws
are so perfectly administered, and pun
ishment so speedy and certain, that
there is but little encouragement to
crime.”
“How do you reconcile that idea with
the existence of the Inn of Sanvergne ?
If I have been correctly informed, it
still stands, and with its landlord, his
wife, three suns and two daughters, bids
defiance to Frederick and his police.”
“The Inn of Sanvergne,” I repeated,
“I have never heard of it.”
“You have never heard of it?” reite
rated my companion, with a look of as
tonishment. “Are you in earnest ?”
“Perfectly ”
“You amaze me. The Inn of Sau
vergne —for though a town of a thous
and inhabitants, it has but one—is
known all over Prussia. It is familiar
ly known as The Traveler’s Last Inn.”
“Why is it thus known ?”
“Because the traveler who puts up at
the Inn ofSauvergne never putsup at
another."
“ Is the entertainment so good ?”
“It is so good, that no traveler has
ever been known to complain of it.”
Its guests are then well cared for?”
“They are cared for; and so well, that
no traveler who has once crossed its
threshold has ever been known to leave
it.”
“You 6peak of a Paradise, not an
inn.”
“I speak of no Paradiso—l speak of
the house of terror and death—l apeak
of—’
“Tho traveler’s last Inn! Ha ha!
ha !” cried a voice near us.
“Ha! who speaks?” cried my com
panion suddenly wheeling round and
presenting a pistol.
llis lace was pale, his eyos alive and
stern, his frame somewhat agitated ;
but his lip was firm, his hand boldly
erect, and his attitude that of a hero.
As for myself, I was conscious of a
nervousness that could arise from but
ono cause on earth—fear.
“Who speaks?” again demanded my
companion, with lion-like energy.—
“Answer!"
But no answer came. For more than
a minute we awaited a repetition of
tho mysterious voice, or a reply. But
neither came, and we resumed our jour
ney silently.
But some how or another we had
wandered from the track in our confu
sion, and we had walked some distance
before we discovered it.
Here was a painful dilemma.
“Wo must retrace our steps till we
find it,” observed my companion, briefly.
“So be it," said I.
In a few minutes we came to the
path, but it was wider than before.
My companion paused and examined
it thoughtfully, then followed it with
his eye, till it was lost in the distance.
“It I were superstitious, I should
fancy this forest an abode of devils,” he
observed, at length. “This road has
grown wide suddenly, or else it is not
the one we were traversing before.”
And I noticed that his cheeks became
quite pale, and bis lips somewhat
tremulous.
“What is best to bo done?” said I
falteringly.
“Remain here for a moment, while I
cross and see if there be not another
path; il there be, and it prove narrow,
as at first then it must be the one we
have lost. If not —”
He paused, and bis eye met mine.
“If not,” said I, with a terrible sense
of impending evil.
“If not," he resumed, with thrilling
energy, “then let what will come, this
path must bo Followed.”
lie left me, but soon returned, shak
ing his head.
“We must goon,” he said sternly.
• 1 his track may lead to Berse, and
it may bring up at Sanvergne. Let
us on, however, in God’s name.”
I was too agitated to mako any ob
servation in reply, and we walked on.
Our lips were silent; —but our eyes, as
they wandered round, on every side,
proclaimed tho terror that was fast
driving away all courage from our
breasts.
Our excitement put fresh energy in
our limbs; and ear long wo were in the
very heart of tho wood. At this mo
ment, we discerned ahead, and advanc
ing towards us, the dim outlin of a hu
man form.
“Look well to your arms,” observed
my companion, still keeping his eye on
tho approaching figure. “We know
not who this may be.”
“I aat prepared for the worst,” I re
plied ; “but look," I exclaimed, as wo
neaiqj the stranger, “there can be no
danger in him, Bi a dross is thn> <->F **
miller.”
‘The dress is no authority for the
orthodoxy of tho wearer," returned my
companion, in a low voice. “Be cau
tious, he is here.”
Wo wero rapidly approaching the
stranger.
“110, neighbor,” cried my compan
ion, bailing him, “is this the road to
Berse?”
“ You’ll be thero in an hour,” replied
tho man, running his eyo rapidly over
our persons.
“ At Berse?"
“Ay, ay, good man, at Berse, it’s
only an hours travel Keep right on.”
“ What cheer is a man likely to meet
at Berse ?”
“The best, good man, the best.
You’ll meet the best hotel, at the edge
of the forest, to be found in forty miles.”
“ What is the sign?”
“Tho ‘White Wolf,’” replied the
man.
“Thank you, neighbor, thank you.
Good day.”.
“ Good day, gentlemen, good day.”
“Wo passed him, and pursued our
journey. Not a word passed between
us till we had left the miller along way
bohiml.
“ What think you of him now?” said
my companion in a low voice. *
“ I know not what to think. Butyou
—you are somewhat familiar with this
section of the country, and should un
derstand its manners and its customs.
To me, there seems a something in the
man’s manner and language, which,
while I cannot define it, strikes me
with alarm. He is no miller; or, if he
be, he is one accustomed to mingle
above his fellows.”
“ You are right,” said my companion,
musingly, “ho is no miller. He is too
intelligent for that. His language is
above his character. Did you notice
any simularity between his voice and
that of the strange one, that uttered
those harsh, mocking words awhile
back ?”
“ It did not striko me ; did it you ?”
“Faintly. It was to test it that I
hailed him so loudly at first. There
was a heaviness in the tone of his re
plies that fell upon my ears ringinglv,
like the other.”
“ But whom do you suspect him to
bo?”
“Hush, not so loud. These’ trees
around us are aged, and their trunks
are large. There are large rocks scat
tered around us, too. For heaven’s
sake, be cautious, and have your trusty
weapons ready at a moment’s warning.
If we are in the toils, our eyes had bet
ter be about us.”
“If there be danger, le't us turn back.”
My companion laughed derisively.
“No,” said he, bitterly. “This path
does or does not lead to' Berse. If the
ormer, and the man met is honest, we
shall be there in an hour at the farthest,
and all is well; if the latter, and the
miller is a knave, reflect—he is between
us and Lergue, to cut off our retreat.”
“ But we are two, and he—”
“ Hush ; it he be what my fears sus
pect, rely upon it, he is not alone. As
I have said remember that we are tra
versing a forest whose trees are old, and
whose trunks are large and hollow
enough to hide a thousand foes. There
are rocks, too, with cavities. Remem
ber that.”
The forest darkened as we advanced.
“ Night is coming,” continued my
companion. “We must hasten faster,
or we shall be lost. Hark.”
“Is that thunder ? ” I inquired.
“No,” replied my companion, whom
it visibly agitated; “it is the warning
cry off an out-post wolf. We are scent
ed. Forward, in God’s name! ”
The forest'grew darker and darker.
As we dashed on, we perceived lights
gleaming faintly through the trees.
At the same moment we heard the
echoing of many feet, like that of ani
mals leaping on earth behind ns.
GEORGIA JOURNAL AND MESSENGER
“They are upon us,” exclaimed my
companion. “ Each now for himself,
and God protect both. Farewell! ”
And on his heel he flew, as if racing
with the wind In the gloom, I made
out to discern his form just distinctly
enough to follow in his wake.
A loud roar behind, warned me that
the wolves had become aware of our
flight.
In my terror, I lost sight of my com
panion ; till l heard the echoing of his
footsteps, and plunged on.
I saw the lights ahead growing, mo
mentarily, larger and larger. By this
I knew I was gaining on them, and
that deliverance was near.
My strength was giving out; but I
dared not shout, I dared not halt. Lifo
and hope wero before me—the wolves
aud death behind me.
Tho terrible enemies in my rear were
now so close upon mo that I could hear
them pant in their chase.
A senso of choking came upon mo;
but with a violent effort I shook it off,
and flow on.
Suddenly, a painful feeling crept over
mo. The air was hot and heavy with
their
A load was upon my hesrt, sitting
there with the strength and weight of
a nightmare. A conviction that death
was near, flashed upon me. All the
sins, conceptional and actual, of my
past lifo rose up before me with terrible
distinctness.
“ 1 know my hour has come,” I mut
tered as I sped on, “ but I shall not die
without a struggle.”
With my knife I cut away the belt
ing of my portmanteau, and with a dull,
heavy sound, it fell to the earth. My
cane wasalsothrown aside, and Igrasp
ed a pistol in ono hand and a knife in
the other.
Meanwhile, the lights increased in
number and size before me. Tho forest
grew less thick and mazy also ; but this
latter was of little advantage, for vhile
it offered less obstruction to me, it ena
bled the hungry pack behind to run me
down more easily.
To add to my perilous strait, all was
dark as pitch around me, and the wolves
were so near, I momentarily expected
to feel their terrible claws and revoking
breaths.
At this moment, a voice that almost
made my heart leap out of my breast,
cried out:
“ You are on the edge of a gulf—tur
bid waters are rolling between us.—
Put your faith in God and leap.”
At the same instant I felt two heavy
paws upon my shoulders, and a hot
breath upon my cheek. Uttering a cry
of alarm, I flung the hand containing
the knife around mo, and leapt the
brink.
I heard a low cry, a frightful yell, tho
quick rolling and tumbling of a body, a
loud crash in contiguous waters, follow
ed almost immediately by a roar that
resembled the howling of ten thousand
devils.
“ Good ! ” You are game, comrade.
You have dono for that fellow. The
rest of that rascally pack dare not leap
that gulf, and stand there licking their
jaws in their wrath. Now follow me—
the rascals may alter their minds, and
wo are not yet out of the forest.
I grasped his hand—dropped it—and
tho fever of my fright being still upon
me, darted on.
in a few minutes we cleared the for
est, and found ourselves in sight of a
small town, in tho windows of whose
houses we discerned many a cheering
light.
We soon reached tho town, and look
ed about us for a resting place. Tho

a solitary form in the streets.
In a few minutes we came in sight of
a building, whose size announced it
either a hotel or a jail. As we neared
it, wo saw plainly that it was tho for
mer.
“ Is this a house of entertainment?"
said my companion to a man sitting on
the steps, with a largo pipe in his
mouth.
“ It is,” answered the man.
“ Aro you its master?”
“No, monsieur, I am one of his at
tendants.”
“ What is its name ? ”
“ Whose—the landlord’s?"
“ No, the Inn’s.”
“The White Wolf.”
“ Good. We are then at Berse.”
“ Walk in, gentlemen, walk in.”
My companion laid his hand upon ny
arm significantly, aud we entered.
The man followed us, aud the d«or
was immediately re-closed.
CHAPTER 11.
The traveler’s hall was large and
roomy, well lighted, and furnished with
a eavy bar in one corner, a large ob
long table in the center, and a vast num
ber of chairs and settees scattered
through and ranged along the sides of
the walls.
Behind the bar wero two good-lock
ing females, whose tall, stout well-kut
frames, and bold, well-shaped features,
stamped them of an extremely mascu
line character. They were evidently
sisters, and eould not apparently have
been over six or eight-and-twenty years
of age.
The landlord was sitting at the laige
oblong table, earnestly engaged in pe
rusing a newspaper. As we entered,
ho threw down the paper, and rose to
wait upon us. lie was tall and stoat,
with a fine set of Homan features—a
lofty brow, grey, bushy hair, and an
eye filled with the spirit of benevolence.
Still, despite his frank generous look,
there was something so repulsive in
the ensemble of his features, that I felt
my heart knocking against my breast,
as if warning me of danger. As his
eye met that of my companion, his lip
for a moment quivered, and a slight
tremor ran like a shock of electricity
through the muscles of his frame.
My companion’s face, as he seated
himself opposite me, was flushed with
some mysterious excitement. Our feet
met under the table, and his pressed
mine significantly, for a moment, and
was then immediately withdrawn.
The food that wo had called for was
set before us, together with a large
flagon of foaming ale, from which we
filled our long, narrow glasses, as we
dispatched our meal.
“ What cheer, friends ? ” asked our
host, seating himself at the iable, a
short distance from us. “ What news ?”
“ The King still reigns in Prussia,”
replied mj’ companion, without looking
up ; “ and threatens, in his last mani
festo, to look better to the laws.”
“Ah!” observed the host, with a
laugh; “the old tale. He has been
threatening that, to my knowledge,
these ten years.”
“ But he speaks emphatically, now,”
continued my companion, with a mean
ing, and to me, mysterious emphasis.—
“In which case, parties who have long
laughed at the laws, will soon have a
prospect of punishment. The whips
and prisons of Frederick are so perfect,
they are only surpassed by—”
“ What?”
“ His scaffolds !” was the sarcastic rc
piy.
The face of the inn-keeper blanched,
and his eyes shot fire at my companion.
A sensation of danger crept over me
at this reply ; why, I could not compre
hend ; but it stole over me like the cold
crawling of a snake, and made me
shiver.
It was evident that our host aod my
companion had met before, not as
friends, but as enemies.
“ The whips, prisons, and scaffolds of
Frederick are only for criminals,” said
the inn-keeper, slowly, in the tone of a
man who knew himself in converse
with a foe, and wished every word to
fall upon liis ear like tho repeated blows
of a sledge-hammer.
“ Tis true,” observed my companion
coolly.

remedy is wanted by those who suffer from
Strumous complaints, and that one which will
accomplish their cure must prove of immense
service to this large class of ouralllicted fillow
citixens. llow completely this compound will
do it has been'proven by experiment on many
of the worst cases to he found of the following
complaints:

pepsia XXI) Is DIGESTION, Ell YSIPEI.AS, llosK
OR St. Anthony's Fire, and indeed the whole
class of complaints arising from Impurity of
the Blood.
This compound will be found a great pro
moter of health, when taken in the spring, to
expel the foul humors which fester in the
blood at that season of the year. By tlie time
ly expulsion of them many rankling disorders
are nipped in the hud. Multitudes can, by
the aid of this remedy, 9pare themselves from
the endurance of foul eruptions and ulcerous
sores, through which the system will strive to
rid itself of corruptions, if not assisted to do
this through the natural channels of the body
by nil alterative medicine. Cleanse out the
vitiated blood whenever you find its impurities
bursting through the skin in pimples, eruptions,
or sores; cleanse it when you iind it is ob
structed and sluggish in the veins ; cleanse it
whenever it is foul, and your feelings will tell
you when. Even where no particular disorder
is felt, people enjoy better health, and live
longer, for cleansing the blood. Keep the
bloml healthy, and nil is well; but with this
{mbulum of life disordered, there can be no
asting health. Sooner or later somethin"
must go wrong, mid the great machinery ol
life is disordered or overthrown.
Sarsaparilla has, and deserves much, the
reputation of accomplishing these ends. But
the world has been egregiously deceived by
preparations of it, partly because the drug
alone lias not all the virtue that is claimed
for it, but more because many preparations,
pretending to be concentrated extracts of it,
contain blit little of the virtue of Sarsaparilla,
or any thing else.
During late years the public have been mis
led by large bottles, pretending to give a quart
of Extract of Sarsaparilla for one dollar. Most
of these have been frauds upon the sick, for
they not only contain little, if any, Sarsapa
rillu, but often no curative properties whatev
er. lienee, bitter and painful disappointment
has followed the use of the various extraots of
Sarsaparilla which 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 we think we have ground for
believing it lias virtues which arc irresistible
by the ordinary run of the diseases it is intend
ed to cure. In order to secure their complete
eradication from Ihe system, the remedy should
be judiciously taken according to directions oil
the bottle.

DISORDERS OF THE STOMACH, LIVER, AND
ROWELS.
r pHE STOMACH is the great centre which In*
l fluences the health or disease of the system;
abused, or debilitated by excess. Indigestion, of
fensive breath, and physical prostration are the
na ural consequences. Allied to the brain, it is
the source of headaches, mental depression, ner
vous complaints, and unrefreshlng sleep. The
Liver becomes affected, and generates bilious dis
orders, pains in the side, etc. Tite Bowels sym
pathize by costiveuess, diarrhoea, and dysentery.
The principal action of these Fills Is on the Hlom
uch, and the Liver, Lungs, Bowels, and Kidneys
participate in their recuperative and regenera
tive operation.
ERY.'IPELAS AND BALT RHEUM
Are two of the most common and virulent dis
orders prevalent on this continent. To these the
Ointment is especially antagonistic. Its m/Wu*
operandi is first to eradicate the venom, and then
complete the cure.

Cases of many years’ standing, that have perti
naciously retus< and to yield to any otner remedy or
treatment, have invariably succumbed to a few
applications of this powerful unguent.
ER UPTION& ON THE SKIN,
Arising from a bad state of the blood or chronic
diseases are eradicated, and a clear and trans
parent surface regained by the restorative action
ot this Ointment. It surpasses many of the cos
meties and other toliet appliances in Its power to
dispel rashes and other disfigurements of the
face.
FEMALE COMPLAINTS.
Whether in the young or old. married or single,
at the dawn of womanhood or the turn of life,
these tonic medicines display so decided an influ
ence that a marked improvement Is soon percep
tible in the health of the patient. Beinga purely
vegetable preparation, they are a sate and reliable
remedy for ail classesof lemales in every condi
tion of health and station of Hie.
PILES AND FISTULA.
Every form and feature of these prevalent and
stubborn disorders is eradicated locally and en
tirely by the use of this emollient. Warm fomen
tations should precede its application. Its heal
ing qualities will be found to lie thorough and
invai table.
Both the Oinement and the Fills should be used
in the following cases: Bunions. Burns, Chapped
