THE MOSAIC PAVEMENT.
Thiiwablem is one of the ornaments of
> lodge. It refers to ami is a representa
tion of the grand fioor of the Temple at
Jerusalem, and is emblematic of good and
evil. It may well, in our opinion, be
>nned the beautiful flooriug of a Masonic
Lodge, by reason of its being variegated
»Dilcheckered, ttius pointing outthedi
versity of objects which beautify and
adorn the creation.
Dr. Dalcho, in speaking of it, says:
The first object which deserves attention
is the Mosaic fioor on which we tread ; it
is intended to convey to our minds the
vicissitudes of human affairs, checkered
witb a strange contrariety of events. To
day elated with the smiles of prosperity—
tomorrow depressed with the frowns of
misfortune The precariousuess of our
situation should teach us humility, to
walk uprightly and firmly upon the broad
dasis of virtue aud religion, aud to give as
sistance to our unfortunate fellow crea
ture-. who are in distress, lest, on some
raprieious turn of fortune’s wheel, we may
H'ume dependents ou those who before
■iK'ked up to tbtir benefactor.”
Neither Webb, Cross, nor other com
pilers of'M tutors go further than this.
we Relieve it has a more sacred signifi
es,ion—pointing toward the doctrine of
>ii s redemption, which pervades the
Mwle system of Masonry. We call it
"■sic, because it was used by Moses in
me floor of the tabernacle ; but for what
rason did he adopt it ? We are ofopin
n that it was in allusion to the redemp
," 11 , l * le Israelites from their Egyptian

d<u cloud upon the other : or, iu other

'anon thereby, to the then true Church
b°d, and darkness and destruction to
enemies.
e think it but reasonable, then, to
'“Ph"*? that Moses adopted the checkered

Masonry helps no man who will not
help himself. A drone has no business iu
the Masonic hive; and if by accident one
gains admission, lie soon gets stung out.
STATE HEWS.
State of Affairs in Scriven Coun
ty —The morals of our county are good. I
anticipate fewer hills in the criminal court
than at any previous term. I hear of but
very few infractions of law, and they are
confined mostly to negroes. A few days
ago, Col. Singletou had the misfortune to
lose his dwelling oy fire; a very great loss;
most of the furniture was saved. The fire
was communicated to the bnildiug by ac
cident. Our farmers have been very busy
in planting cotton for the week past. The
corn looks bad. owing to the recent cold
weather; it is thought no material injury
will result to that crop ou this account iu
the main, as corn made backward for such
causes generally bears heavier and purer
grain — Cor. Chronicle and Sentinel , 29th.
Railroad Accident.— Ort Wednesday
afternoon, as a working train on the Ma
con and Brunswick Railroad was leaving
station No. 6, a man by the name of
O’Connell, an employe on the road, in at
tempting to get on the locomotive, missed
his footing and fell. The wheels of the
locomotive passed over both his legs, be
tween the kute aud the ankle, crushing
both so badly that amputation will prob
ably he necessary. O’Connell was picked
up and carried to No. 12, where his home
is. He has a wife and family.

Homicide. —We learn by a passenger
who arrived here this morning that a
white man was killed by a negro at Barnes
ville. last night. It appears that the
white man was intoxicated, and had gone
into the house of the negro. The negro,
wishing to eject him according to law,
went after the Marshal, and, on returning,
the uegro entered first, when the white
tnau commenced tiring on him. The ue
gro procured a gun, and taking deliberate
aim, killed the iu'ruder. Our informant
did not know the names of the parties.
[Atlanta Constitution, 29th.
Air-Link Railroad.— Over fifty hands
have arrived from Virginia, to work on
this road, and some fifty more are ex
pected to morrow. The contractors are
pushing ttie work with vigor.— Ibid.
Clover and Blue Grass.— The old
fogy farmers who pretend that clover
cannot be successfully cultivated in this
section should occasionally look at the
rich sight presented in the Baptist church
yard. Ten years ago there was but a small
por ion on the lot, the remainder being
occupied with coarse grass. With no
care, whatever, except sprinkling once or
twice plaster of lime over it, the clover
has extended over almost the entire en
closure, usurping the place of the com
mon sedge. The variety is that of red
clover. Blue grass has also nourished
luxuriantly on the same grounds for
years.— Columbus Sun, 2 9th.
Crops —Our country friends inform us
that farming operations are progressing
with rapidity. In some localities the c<>rn
has received the first plowing and hoeing,
and is very fine. We have not as yet
heard any complaint as to bad stands.
If the cotton crop meets with no disas
ter in this section, the cotton receipts of
Griffin for the present year, will exceed
those of any year since the manumission
of slavery ; aud our prediction is founded
on the fact that the majority of planters
iu this part of the State are taking more
pains iu the preparation of their lands
than they were wout to do, aud using fer
tilizers without stint.
We are glad to know that a considerable
area of tiie farming lauds iu this vicinity
lias been planted iu corn and 6inall grain.
The wiieat crop is very promising.—Mid
dle Georgian, 20th.
Early Cotton. —We had placed upon
our table on the 24th instant, a stalk of
cotton which measured nine inches above
the roots. This cotton is from the farm of
Phillip Poullain, Esq , a id cultivated up
on the cup principle. Whatever maybe
said for or against this system of culture,
this is by far ahead of anything we have
ever seeu at tliis season of the year. —

Chicken Cholera.— The disease in
our section among the chickens is some
what singular. In the past few days we
have heard twenty farmers complaining
about losing their chickens It is some
thing like the cholera. A gentleman liv
ing in this city informed us yesterday that
out of fifteen laying hens lie had one left,
aud she was looking droopy.

Ninety Cents in the Dollar.— The
act of the Legislature incorporating tlie
Haiw bridge, Cuthbert & Columbus rail
road. provides that the Company shall not
sell a .y of its bonds endorsed by the Slate
for les- than ninety cents iu the dollar.
Thai company has recently organized,
and, if we judge by the puffs in the Bain
l r and. e papers, is sailing onward with
(•u lus fiyiug— but just here, we desire to
a-k ho v long it wiil require to build the
Hainbridge, Cuthbert & Columbus rail
road on the condition of selling its bonds
end' reed by the State, at ninety cents in
the il ilar ? The time was, when the
bonds of the State could be sold at ninety
cents in the dollar, but what capitalist
will give that much for Georgia bonds in
the face of her millions in State aid, and
the immense appropriations of the last
Legislature for other purposes? If the
State credit remains unchanged uuder this
rushing burden, then .Georgians, may in
deed, be called a wonderful people.— Thom
asville Enterprise, 28th. ♦
Fruit and Crop Prospects.— Reports
from the wheat crop in the surrounding
country are very encouraging. The pros
pect now is for a good crop, and if no un
toward accident happens to it, tiie farmers
expect to reap largely where they have
sown. Reports from the fruit crop repre
sent the prospect as being very unfavora
ble. The frosts that occurred late iu the
season ruined th * greater portion of it.
Farmers arc busy iu gettiug their corn
planted. They are working as rapidly as
they cau between showers. —Atlanta Era.
; 30 th ult.
The earth has been saturated with
heavy rains for the past two days, and
farmers long for dry weather to cleau.out
their corn crops. Cotton stands will be
| impaired by the packing of the soil, and
iu the meantime Gen. Green is marshall
ing his hosts for the conflict. The plow
and the hoe will have a sharp contest for
the supremacy during the campaign of the
next ten weeks. Within that period, the
battle of the busbaudman will be either
i lost or won.
Mai' success crown his labors.

Fatally Burned —Mrs. Blake, resid
ing on Mill street, has been subject to epi
leptic fits, in a mild form, for some time,
and her husband kept a colored servant
womau to attend her. Yesterday morn
ing the servant made up a fire in the back
yard to heat water for washing purposes.
She then went to pump tor a bucket of
water and when she returned she found
Mrs Blake lying in the fireiu au inseusi
ble condition. The servant took her from
the fire and called in the neighbors.
Dr. Walsh was immediately sent for,
but he fouud her body, from her face to
her knees, burned to a crisp, rendering
! her recovery impossible. She was per
fectly conscious of her dying condition,
and bore her excruciating sufferings with
patieucc and Christian resignation. A
; Catholic priest was sent for, who admin
istered to her the consolations of religion.
I She was still alive at four o’clock p. m.,
yesterday. — Savannah Republican, 30 th.
Accident on a Street Car.— Between
eleven and twel veo'clock yesterday morn-
S ing, when one of the street cars stopped at
! Congress street to take in passengers, a
j little son of Mr. W. C. Butler, of 123
Broughton street, some five or six years of
age, climbefi up ou the front step of the
ear, unobserved by the driver, aud when
the car started-the child fell to the ground
aud oDe of the wheels passed partially
over bis thigh, lacerating the flesh badly
I without crushing the bone. He was taken
to his home, aud Dr Johnson, who hap
pened to be passing along the street at the
time, was called in. He dressed the

The Wheat Crop. — I'be recent rains
; have been of great advantage to the
wheat crop in this vicinity, and the pros
pects, which a few days since appeared
, rather gloomy, are now much more favor
able. and indications seem to bid fair fora

A New Cotton Manufactory. —We
j were informed yesterday that Mr. J. J.
j Grant, an experienced manufacturer and
j leading citizen, and others ate projecting
' the building ot another cotton factory of
the capacity of 10,0)0 spindles. The or
i ganization is to be known as the Coweta
Falls Manufacturing Company. A ebar
\ ter was secured at the iast session of the
Legislature incorporating the Company
and authorizing it to employ a capital of
SSOO 000. It is thought the mill can be
erected and stocked with machinery at a
cost of little over half this amount. The
projectors own three desirable water lots,
just above those of the Eagle and Phoenix
Mills, have a race already completed, and
will use the large river dam. Enough
rock has been blasted in building the race
wall to erect the foundath ns.

Northern Capital ComingJSouth.—
The schooner Florence H. Alien, which
arrived at this port flora New York, on
Tuesday last, consigned to Messrs Joseph
A. Roberts & Cos., brought among her
freigiit the entire machinery for the work
ing of a large raanufaefory which is to he
established at Midville, No. 9[, on the
Central Railroad. The machinery was
manufactured at Patterson, N. J. The
water wheel is but 8 feet in diameter, of
the Chase pattern, which issaid to besu
perior to all others, it being adapted to the
smallest heads of water, and has a capaci
ty of sixty horse-power under a fall of
ouly six feet of water. The factory, it is
©tpecled will be ready aud in operation iu
about three mouths, at an entire cost of
about $30,000, aud will be the means of
giving employment to upwards of one
hundred hands. Iu addition to this es
tablishment for the working of the raw
material into fabrics of every description,
we learn that it is the intention of the
company to shortly erect, as an adjuuct to
the present projected establishment, ma

Northern Capitalists Propose to

sition, on motion of Alderman Tutt, was
referred to a committee of four, one from
each watd in the city, with instructions
to consider the matter and report up in it
at the next meeting of Council. At the
last meeting of Council held on Tuesday
night, Mr. Tutt, Chairman of this com

the report of the committee iu a speech, in
which he showed the many ditierent
ways in which tiie measure would benefit
the citizens of Augusta.

There is a great variety of opinion
among tiie outsiders as to wiio the parties
are whom Mr. Stovall represents. Home
assert very positively that the Rhode Is
land Senator and manufacturer, Hon.
William Sprague, better known recently
as “little Rhody,” is at the bottom of the
affair, and is really the only Northern
capitalist who is interested in the move
ment.
******
Others think that not Senator Sprague,
but a retired manufacturer, a native of the
State of New York, and a man of irn- i
meuse of wealth, is the party who wishes !
the canal That he wishes it for the pur- j
pose, as expressed in Mr. Stovall’s commu
nication, of widening it aud enlarging it
iusucli a manner that it will have power
sufficient to run one hundred thousand
spindles, or more than five times the num
ber that are now employed. He will also
bind himself to recognize and faithfully
execute all the contracts entered into be
tween the city and ttie present mill own
ers, but (iestres that the city government
grant him an immunity from taxation for
the next five year-—the length of time
which he estimates it will take to increase
the water power of the canal and get his
mills in operation. Tliis latter theory, we
learned yesterday from the best authority,
was alone correct. —Chronicle and Senti

S. I. Gustin, J. 8. Schofield, J. C. Mcßurney, I. C.
Plant, W. R. Phillips, J. H. Anderson aud W. A.
Huff.
This Committee will meet Wednesday (to-mor
row) at 4 p. m , on the ground selected.
On motion of Mr. Crockett an Executive Com
mittee of five was appointed;
Messrs. J. C. Plant, J. C. Mcßurney, S. Collins,
E. Winship, J. 11. Anderson; to which the Mayor
was afterwards added.
Mr. Whittle then moved the appointment of a
committee of twenty to solicit contribution* for
the Fair, and upon Mr. Grier’s motion the Chair
designated the following gentlemen ;
J. C. Mcßurney, S. A. Porter,
J. V. Grier, J. H. Anderson,
B. A. Wise, L. W. Rasdall,
E. Feuchtwanger, E. Winship,
H. N. Ells, O. G. Sparks,
J. 0. Curd, O. F. Adams,
C. H. Rogers, W. A. Huff,
P. Fitzgerald, D. Daly.
This Committee was then divided into four sub
committees, of five each, in order to secure a more
tuorough canvass of the city.
We understand that one of the committee who
has made a survey of the ground and buildings
thinks that for SSOOO they cau be put in pretty
good order, but the Committee desire to raise at
least SIO,OOO, so as to make a complete job, and to
cover all necessary expenses. We will not allow
ourselves to doubt their ability to raise that sum,
or much more. This community has too much at
stake to allow the matter to fail of the highest
point of success desired for it.
Let our citizens respond, now, as they should,
and the fair, so far as they can make it, will be
grand success.
Another meeting will he held next Tuesday,
at 4 p. m.
The Hiter Bit.
An interesting case of burglary in the day time
was tried, on yesterday morning, before Justices
Logan and Wyche. Andrew Cray, James Brooks,
and Jim Wilson, all colored, were arraigned upon
the charge of breaking and entering, on last Satur
day, the warehouse of Messrs. Adams, Jones &
Reynolds, and stealing cotton. Jim Wilson turned
Stale's evidence, and testified that Cray and Brooks
procured him to haul away tiie cotton, aud to col
lect the amount of $26 of Dr. M. S. Thomson—to
whom it was sold. It was proven, ou the part of
the defence, that both Andrew Cray and Jim
Brooks had heretofore maintained unexceptionable
characters for truth and honesty.
The witnesses in their behalf were white men
who had known them for a long time. The result
of the trial was the honorable acquittal of Andrew
and Jim Brooks, and the commitment of Wilson,
upon whom the crime was clearly proven. Major
Bacon and Col. Weems represented the prisoners,
and G. W. Gustin, Esq., the State.
Moral—Those who go into a court of justice
should enter with clean hands.

tion, n (inhering about 120 gentlemen, and about
the -ame number of ladies, leave Mobile on a spe
cial train, for Montgomery, to-morrow morning, to
accept the hospitalities of that city, tendered them
two days since. Their visit here lasted three days,
and has done a vast deal to promote good feeling
between the sections. They have received great
and continuous hospitality from the city govern
ment, the Board of Trade and citizens representing
all shades of political opinion, from ultra-Radical
to extreme Copperhead. They, oue aud all, ex
pressed themselves perfectly delighted with what
they have seeu for themselves in their progress
South. They are surprised at the fertility of the
soil and the climate, and at the openings for indus
trial and manufacturing, as well as commercial and
agricultural enterprises.
In all their speeches, and in all their private ex
pressions of opinion, one and all have declared
that new light has dawned ou them, and that they
would not have believed what they have seen for
themselves. Radical editors are surprised at the
peaceful condition of the country and its political
quiet.
Tiie Daily Register has opened its columns to all
parties, and is tilled with these expressions from
some of the most unswerving Republicans.
To-day the Board of Trade give a steamboat ex
cursion down the Harbor through the shipping;
aud at the collation on board there was a further
renewal of good feeling and a general desire to be

Richmond, April 29.—The State Convention as
sembled this morning, and the minority report was
withdrawn to make way for a resolution to adjourn
until teu days after the date fixed by Grant’s pro
clamation for State election. This resolution was
defeated by a two-thirds vote.
The majority Report was then adopteJ, with few
dissenting voices.
Resolutions were adopted for the better organ
ization of the Convention, and for the appoint
ment of a committee to wait upon President Grant,
and also upon General Canby, relative to the sub
mission of the Constitution to the people.
The spirit of the debate in the Convention this
morning, by those who favored the minority report
urging the people to vote down the Constitution,
was that while negro suffrage might be forced on
the people by the Government, yet Virgiuiaus
should not, themselves, assist in the degradation.
Those who favored the majority report, urged that
that sort of argument was a thing of the past.
Negro suffrage was an accomplished fact, and the
white people of the Shite, instead of sullenly re
sisting the general Government, which is our Gov
ernment, should carry out reconstruction in good
faith, accepting what the Government gives us,
and making the best of it
It was urged that the election of Gilbert C.

Washington, May L —General Lee, aecompan
| ied by Mr. aud Mrs. Taggart, of Baltimore, visited
| General Grant this morning.
The interview was marked by great cour-
I tesy. When General Lee was ushered into the
executive office, Minister Motley was present
The latter, however, after a moment retired, think
ing. perhaps, the interview between Graut and Lee
had reference to national matters.
It did not, however, have such reference—be
ing confined to more formal greetings between the
two. Gen Lee is stopping in Georgetown, and
keeps entirely aloof from public observation.' His
visit to the White House this morning was an oc
casion of great interest No other interviews were
had with the President by anv one after Lea re

The Express says the English Minister denies
that Great Britain has had under consideration the
question of the Cuban insurrection; declares the
report that it was ever designed to recognize the
insurgents as belligerents preposterous, and says
his government has not even been officially in
formed of the existence of a provisional govern
ment on the island. He represent* the relations of
Spain with Her Majesty’s government as highly
friendly, and regards the report hereby contradicted
as intended to embitter relations between the
United States and Great Britain.

cus >ed to adjournment.
London, May 1. —Sumner’s speech creates im
mense excitement in political circles here. At the
Cabinet meeting the subject was informally dis
cussed. Bright declared tiie embarrassment which
its publication produced served England very
properly, but he agreed not to consent to entertain
terms of settlement foreshadowed by Sumner.
Lord Clarendon expressed belief that actual nego
tiation ou the subject in progress between the two
countries were of u far less extreme character than
were the speeches of American Senators, on articles
in the press. The present administration was eager
for lasting continuance of friendly relations with
the U nited States. Gadstone professed to have
good assurances from reliable quarters, that the
recent negotiation of the Alabama treaty, by the
American Senate was purely a political movement,
and that the present administration will endeavor
to settle the Alabama question on liberal and hon
orable terms. The outside tone of the English
people is anti American, and more so in conse
quence of having read only a part of Sumner’s
argument.
'Die London Star asserts that Sumner’s demands
are new and startling, and must be regarded mere
ly as enormous, and if they only shadow instruc
tions given Motley, that Great Britain will stand
in a very different position from that occupied by
Johnson. Motley’s rejection as American Minister
to St. James is threatened in case his instrnetions
nearly coincide with expressions of Sanincr—such
demands are utterly untenable, and her Majesty’s
Ministers must he careful in entertaining them,
The London Times breathes forth the spirit of
war in defence of the Treasury, claiming that
Sumner’s money estimate of damages is portentous
aud enormous, adding that although his address is
worthy of attentive consideration, no contrition or
humiliation should either be expressed or endured
by England, for if votes were to be taken the case
woald be prejudicial against her, and any project of
an equitable settlement would be defeated.
Tiie Standard, a Tory organ, exhibits a spirit of
defiance towards the American people, and will
resist to the last any capitulation by England.
l'nis position is combatted by the Liverpool
Post, which says that England cannot afford a
qaurrel, large or small, with America.

OBITUARY.
Departed this lile, near Knoxville, Crawiord
county, Georgia, on the 19th of April, at
lIK o'clock P. m„ Mrs. KIZZIAH LOWK, wife of
Jacob Lowe, in tne sixty-first year of her age.
The fact which this announcement declares
has spread a pall of sadness over a once happy
family, and taken from it one of Its brightest
jewels. Thus has death stricken from earth one
of its purest and noblest subjects, for there never
lived a purer, nobler woman, ana one whose
death was more deeply deplored and lamented.
The writer of this notice has been intimately
acquainted with the deceased for several years,
and can truly say she was a pious and Christian
lady. She become a member of the Missionary
Baptist Church about twenty-nine years ago,
and was ever thereafter a devoted and exempla
ry member. Her health had been quite feeble
for several years; her troubles and afflictions
were great, but she bore them with that fortitude
which marks the true Christian. In all of her
troubles she seldom complained. On the day of
her death she had passed the day with her neigh
bors and friends, and after returning home late
in the evening was suddenly stricken with
paralysis.
Her circle ot friends was large, and they always
showed their appreciation of her virtues by their
kind attention.
She leaves a kind and devoted husband, fbur
loving and affectionate children—two sons and
two daughters—to mourn and deplore their loss.
Asa Wife, she was truly devoted to her hus
band, using every means to make him happy.
Asa mother, she loved her children with all the
devotion of a mother’s heart.
Few persons coold have as little been spared.
But why should we mourn ? Onr loss is her
eternal gain, ior she now rests with the spirits ot
Heaven. A Friend.

WHAT 18 A TONIC ?
Bear tills in mind—that although a tonic is, to
a certain extent, a stimulant— <l stimulant, un
modified by any medicinal substance 1 , it not a tonic,
but A debilitaNT. In HOisTETTER’S WTtiM
ACH BITTER’S there is a stimulating element
o( the purest grade manufactured lu this or any
other country. Every fiery and corrosive oil or
acid which contaminates the ordinary liquors of
commerce, is expelled from the rye spirit whicTi
forms the alcoholic basis of the BITTERS, by
eareful aud repeated rectification. The Juices of
the valuable roots, barks and hsrba, infused into
this wholesome product of the finest grain, situ
further modify its nature; so that it becomes, in
lact.a simple diffusive ageut, minus all the heady
and brain exciting properties which belong,
more or less, to all Lquois in a raw slate. It is
merely the sale and harmless vehicle which ren
ders the medicinal virtues of the preparation
effective— increasing their active power, aud dif
fusing them through the system. Hence the
pleasant and gentle glow which is experlenctd
after taking a dose of the Bl ITERS. Instead of
creating headache, as unineitirated stimulants
are apt to do, this salubrious tonic is the beet
known remedy for that complaint. It calms and
sooths cerebral excitement, strengthens the
nerves, promotes the secretion of the gastric
Juice, Invigorates the bowels, determines the
fluids to the surface, improves tke appetite, in
creases the animal vigor, regulates organic ac
tion, and from Us mild, yet effective alterative
qualities, Is the very best preparation that can
be administered to the weaker sex in the pe
culiar difficulties to which their organization
subjects them.

Ayer’s Sarsaparilla
A compound remedy, designed to be the most
effectual Alterative that can be made. It is
a concentrated extract of Para Sarsaparilla,
so combined with other substances of still
greater alterative power as to afford an effec
tive antidote for the diseases Sarsaparilla is
reputed 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
service to this large class of our afflicted fellow
citizens. How completely this compound will
do it has been proven by experiment on many
of the worst cases to be found of the following
complaints:
Scrofula and Scrofulous Complaints,
Eruptions and Eruptive Diseases, Ulceus,
Pimples, Blotches, Tumors, Salt lliip-cm,
Scald Head, Syphilis and Syphilitic Af
fections, Mercurial Disease, Dropsy, Neu
ralgia or Tic Douloureux, Debility, Dys
pepsia and Indigestion, Erysipelas, Bosk
or St. Anthony’s Fire, and indeed the whole
class of complaints arising from Impurity or
the Blood.
This compound will he found a great pro
moter of health, when taken in the spring, to
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 bud. Multitudes can, by
the aid of this remedy, spare 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 an 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 find 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
blo«(l healthy, and all is well; but with this
fiabulum of life disordered, there can be no
asting health. Sooner or later something
mu it go wrong, and the great machinery of
life is disordered or overthrown.
Sarsaparilla lias, and deserves much, the
reputation of accomplishing these ends.* But
the world lias been egrcgionsly deceived by
preparations of it, partly because the drug
alone has not all the virtue that is claimed
for it, but more' irecause many preparations,
pretending to l>e concentrated extracts of it,
contain but 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
rilla, but often no curative properties whatev
er. II cnee, bitter and painful disappointment
has followed the use of the various extraots of
Sarsaparilla which Hood 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 ive think we have ground for
believing it lias virtues which are irresistible
by the ordinary ran of the diseases it is intend
ed to cure. In order to secure their complete
eradication from the system, the remedy should
be judiciously taken according to directions on
the bottle.
