Almost daily new applications of both natu- •
nil and artificial agents are discovered. Who.
would have supposed, fen years ago, that a trail*
rript ol the human countenance would be pencilled
by the sunbeam-: ? Thus, in the progress of knowl
edge. is the sphere of usefulness of till objects eon
tinually enlarged. Sands's Sarsaparilla, one of
the most valuable discover ies of a wonder-workings
ngc. was at first supposed to be applicable exclu
sively to external disease, such as soies, ulcere,
eruptions, and especially scrofula. Experience,
however, while it lias demonstrated more palpably
its efficacy in this class of complaints, lias also
proved that it is equally serviceable in many others,
inch as inflammatory rheumatism, torpidity of the
liver, general debilily, dyspepsia, and a variety ol
jifferent ailments now known to originate in pecu
liar states of the blood.
For farther particulars and conclusive evidence
