: had proved its worth, ami known it* value. It had reached

I been healed of sore disease*, and saved Irom death, pro

This GRAND AN D 1 NEUHA1.I.KD PREPARATION is
mauiilaciured on the largest seal*, and i* called tor through
out the length and breadth nl the land, especially as it is
found incapable ol'ilegeueratiou or dcturimaiion.
Itn|ikt' young S. P. Townsend’*, it improves with age,
and never change* hut for the better: because it is prepared
on scientific principle* bv a scientific man. The highest
knowledge of Chemistry, and the latest discoveries ol the
art, hare all been brought into requisition in the mauulac
ture of the Old Dr's Sarsaparilla. Tlie Sarsaparilla ropt,
ii is well known to tnedicul men. commit# many medicinal
properties, and some protierties which are inert or useless,
and otlteta. which if retained in preparing it lor use, pro
duce fermentation and acid, winch is injurious lo ihe sys
tem. Sonic of the prnpertie# of Sarsaparilla are so rn.nrile
that they entirely evaporate and are lost in the preparation,
it tliev are not preserved hv a scientific process, known on
ly lo* those experienced iii it* manufacture. Moreover,
these volatile principles, which >ly oil in vapor, or a* an ex
halation, under heat, are the very essential medical prop
erties of the root, which give in it all its va ue.
Anv LuTNon cu»i boil or slow ihe root till they pet «i uRri
colored liquid, which i* ntotc from ihe coloring matter in
the root than from anythin* else ; they can then strain lilts
insipid or rapid liquid, sweeten with sour molasses, and
then call it SARSAPARILLA EXTRACT or S\ RUP.”
lint such is not the article known a* the
GENUINE OLD Dll JACOB TOWNSENDS
SARSAPARILLA.
This is so prepared that nil the inert properties of the
Sarsaparilla rail are first removed, everything capable of
becoming ucid *>f lownemaii°n i* extracted and rejected ;
tlien every pan* le of medical virtue is secured in a pure
and concentrated form; »nd tliu< it is rendered incapable

'pHESE are the times in which men look fbr the
X doings of the world and general information, to
the Press" which «, by-lhe-by, the true path-finder
for business men, as well as those who wish to make
every Penny count mo6t for themselves. This be
j iug the order of the day-, the undersigned wish to i
1 keep with the current, and at the same time give
: the reader a good hint which path to travel to make
his money count must. A few good reasons will
J satisfy the reader at once why it is that they can
and will sell any gentleman a suit of Ready-made
' Clothing, from the commonest every day suit, to a
fine Sunday and superfine wedding suit, cheaper
! than any other establishment. In the first place,
i then, they are able to sell cheaper than other i
1 establishments, because they are well acquainted j
with their business. They buy and sell lor Cash, j
and know when and where and how to purchase
their goods. “Goods well bought are half sold;” j
Even" if they had no advantages over any one in j
their line of business, they can still undersell them, i
because they require no large profits to make up for
large expenses, l’hey attend to their business them
selves, and therefore incur but small ex [reuses, com;
paratively speaking, in carrying on the same. They
sell their Goods for Cash, and therefore require no
lar^e profits to make up for loss sustained by credit
sales. No one will doubt that the C ash system,
together with small profits, is the best mode of deal
inir and most advantageous to the purchaser. If
any one doubts this, he will be convinced of its
truth by calling at the CLO THING AND VA
RIETY STORE, Corner of the Virginia Hotel,
where he will find a large assortment of all kinds
of Ready-made Clothing, for iWenand Boys wear,
such as Cloaks, Over-Coats, t rock, Sack, Business
and Dress Coats, Pants and Vests of all descrip
tions, Woollen Under shirts and Drawers, all kinds
of Shirts, Collars, Cravats, Handkerchiefs, Gloves,
Caps and Hats, together with some fancy articles,
all of which they will with pleasure exhibit for ex
amination to those who call upon them. Their pri
ces are such as will satify every one that this is the
place to buy Fall and Winter Clothing. The sub
scribers take this occasion to tender to the public
their thanks for the liberal patronage which they

THE BRANDRETH PUIS,
xxyoRKS OF NATURE.—In a state of health the
V f intestinal canal may be compared to a river whose
waters flow over the adjoining land, through the chan- j
mils nature or art has made, and improve their qnali- ;
ities ; aud to keep up the comparison of the river, so long
as it runs on smoothly the channels arc kept pure and
healthy ; but if by some cause the course of the river is
stopped, then the waterin the canals is no longer pure,
; but soon becomes stagnant. There is but one law of
: circulation in nature. When there is a superabundance
i of humorial fluid (scrosity) in the intestinal tHbcs, and
eostiveness takes place, it flows back into the blood ves
I sels, and infiltrates itself into the circulation. To estab
| ijsh the free course of the river, wc must remove the
; obstructions which stop its free course, and those of its
| tributary streams. With the body, follow the same
: natural principle—remove the obstructions from the bow
j els, with BRANDRETH’S PILLS, which never in
jure, but are always effectual for the perfect cleansing :
I of the system from foulness or disease. By persevering j
in this practice, the ways of the circulation will then ;
be restored in the full exercise of their natural functions,
and a state of health will be firmly established. Re- I
member, never suffer a drop of blood to be taken from !
yon. Evacuate the humours as often and as long as they ;
are deranged, or as long as you are sick.

Plantation and Mill# for #ale.
I OFFER for sale a Tract of Land lying on the
South Fork of Rockfish River, in Nelson Coun
ty, adjoining the lands of James Woods, Esq.,
Mr. Samuel Woods and others, containing by old
survey between
FIVE AXD SIX HUNDRED ACRES,
a considerable portion of which is Rockfish low
grounds and branch flats. 1 he balance is all ara
ble hi.rh land of good quality—indeed is very su
perior.0 The low grounds and branch flats fine
meadow land. There is on the tract an ample
supply of timber, and one or two very desirable
rock quarries.
The improvements consist of a Mill, propelled
by Rockfish river, built in modern style, with cast
iron machinery, and two pair of stones—the base
ment story of stone ; a good Saw Mill, good tramed
Barn, Corn Houses, Stables, Tobacco Houses, Ne
gro Houses with brick chimneys, a small
DWELLING BOUSE,
Ice House and other necessary out-houses, and an
Apple Orchard of excelleot winter fruit.
Rockfish Valley is situated at the Eastern base
of the Blue Ridge Mountain, is a high and roman- j
tic country, alike remarkable fur its beauty, health
fulness and fertility: and the tract now offered for j
sale has long been regarded among the most desira- I
ble in that section of country. It is distant from
Howardsville on James River, and the Canal, a*
bout eighteen miles; from the contemplated Depot
on the ^Railroad now in piogress from Charlottes
ville, across the Blue Ridge, to Staunton, only
einrht or ten miles; twenty miles from the Univer
sity of Virginia, and about fifteen from Staunton.
The terms will be made to accommodate the pur
chaser, and a good baigain may be had by early ap- :
plication to James M. Harris, Esq., who resides on
the land. He may also be addressed by letter, di
rected to Greenfield, JYelson Co., Va.
