A very small and insig aifoiaet thing, yet it leaves a warm inm pression of about two feet, and there's nothing stingy about the sensation ei ther. A eertain merchant's wife danced to a late hour one nighlt-became over heated, and returned home in a thin dress. Next morning she had a severe beadache and general pain and aches is her bones and joints. She and her husband considered it a trivial affair, and thought of no serious results. The next few days saihe became muaebh worse and a doctor was called in* He failed to find out the cause of suffering, and only prescribed for tile feaver and head ache. She recovere4 only after two years sufferinog, and was then red by the seam of Dr. Dromgnole's Englh Pe ale Bittern. One bottle efthie won derful feale, e8 .gulatr would hiyve oured her durinn the first fw day as. MISCELLANEOUS. C C irsapa i a Is a compound of the virtues of sarsaparil la, stillingia, mandrake, yellow dock, with the iodide of potash and iron, all powerful blood-makipg, blood-cleansing, and life-sus taining elements. It is the purest, safest, and most effectual alterative medicine known or available to the public. The sci ences of medicine and chemistry have never produced so valuable a remedy, nor one so potent.to cure all diseases resulting from Impure blood. It ctes Scrofula and ill scrofulous d!seases, Erysipelas, nose, or St. Anthony's Fire, Pimples and Face-grubs, Pustules, Blotches, Bolls, Tumors, Tetter, Humors, Salt Rheum, Scald-head, Ring-worm, Ulcers, Sores, Rheumatism, Mercurial 6 Disease, Neuralgia, Female Weak nesses and Irregularities, Jaundlbe, Affections of the Liver, Dyspepsia, Emaciation, and General Debility. By its searching and cleansing qualities it purges out the foul corruptions hliichl contaminate the blood and cause derange ment and decay. It stimulates and enlivens the vital functions, promotes energy and strength, restores and preserves health, and infuses new life and vigor throughout the whole system. No sufferer from any dis ease which arises from impurity of the blood need despair who will give Arta's SARSAPARILLA a fair trial. It is folly to experiment with the numer ous low-priced mixtures, of cheap materials, and without medicinal virtues, offered as blood-purifiers, while disease becomes more firmly seated. AYER's SARSAPARILLA is a medicine of such concentrated curative power, that it is by far the best, cheapest, and most reliable blood-purifier known. Physicians know its composition, and pre scribe it. It has been widely used for forty years, and has won the unqualified confi dence of millions whom it has benefited. Prepared by Dr. J. C. Ayer & Co., Practical and Analytical Chemists, Lowell, Mass. IOLD ST ALL DRUGGISTS YVERTYWIERE.
