FOR THE CURE OF There is no doubt but there can be found in this climate, Plants containing Med- ical qualities for all the diseases of the country. But we must first ascertain what their medical action is, both separately and in combination with each other, on the system. They should be procured at times when the Plcftits contain the greatest amount of active medicinal strength. The active properties of many plants exist in Salts and Resins, and can not bk extracted by water. I use an Alcoholic Process for extracting the medical qualities. Read the following statement of Wm, S. Merrill, the oldest Chemist and Druggist of Cincinnati. We hereby certify that we have been made acquainted with the formula of Sco- vill’s Comp. Syrup of Sarsaparilla and Stillingia, and it has been made under our supervision. The ingredients are entirely of vegetable origin, and of prime quality, and the virtues extracted in a great measure by an Alcoholic Process. No mineral substance enters into the compositionl •\y> g_ MERRILL & CO. One door west Barnet House. It will be seen that the method named for extracting the medicinal virtues of the several agents, viz.: by an Alcoholic Process, etc., is in accordance with the views of our best Chemists and PHAEMACEUTists. 27ie.se have, by repeated experiments, es- tablished the fact, that with all those medicinal roots containing resinous active constitu- ents, alcohol must he used to obtain them freed from starch, lignin, and other inert matters—viater will not answer. Again, they have shown that many roots, harks, etc., which yield their active principles to water, have these principles dissipated or com- pletely destroyed by being in contact with heated xoater for any considerable length of time. Hence the difficulty in procuring an efficient alterative when prepared by physicians or patients who are not provided with the proper apparatus and means for extracting active principles only; the efficacy of Sarsaparilla is greatly impaired by the long boiling to which it is generally subjected, while the medicinal virtues of their roots are lost on account of their insolubility in xoater. To corroborate my assertions on these points, I would refer to the statements of J. Hancock, M. D., Philadelphia Journal of Pharmacy, Vol. I, page 295; of M. Bepal, same Journal, Vol. XV, page 675; of M. Souborain, same Joiirnal,. VoIyXVI, paje 38r;yoi\LJ. Husband, American Journal of Pharmacy, Vol. XVI, page 6, etc. " 1 >, One of the compounds is the addition of Stillingia, which is something new in Sarsaparilla Compounds, adds ’-greatly to its alterative virtues, rendering it thereby much more efficient in eradicating disease. This plant, although employed by the profession for only a few years, has - already attained an unrivaled reputation as an alterative; it is a Southern Plant, growing from Virginia to Florida, and was introduced to the profession by Thomas Young Simons, M. D. I would refer those, unacquainted with its properties to the statements of the following physicians, all of high standing and extensively known, and who laud it as an alterative of un- equaled efficacy, viz.: Thomas Y. Simons, M. D., American Medical Recorder, Vol. XIII, page,?> 12 ; »A. L»pez, M. D., New Orleans Medical and Surgical Journal, Vol. 111, page i 0 and tl.‘i§»*Frost, M. J)., Southern Journal of Medicine and Pharmacy, Nov., 18455. ITiii'si jenilenim report Stillingia to be undoubtedly a most valuable remedy in'Strofuta, (hdhrfttXts Diseases, Secondary Syphilis, Chronic Hepatic Affec- tions, as well as in many other complaints ordinarily benefited by the use of mercury', and their statements are corroborated by all physicians who have tested it. SOOVILL’S BLOOD AND LIYEE SYRUP! THIS Medicine is composed of roots and plants which have not only Ai/rnBATiTF, biu Diuretic and Diaphoretic Action. Thus the combination acts not only on the I B'ood, but also on the Skin and Kidneys. It is on this account that my medicine I produces so much more speedy action in ALL CHRONIC DISEASES OF THE SYSTEM, j th*a any other now before the public. It is an absolute fact, that an Alterative, i combined with a Diuretic and Diaphoretic medicine, will cure many diseases of a Chronic nature which an Alterative, alone, will not cure ; and, in all cases, it adds greatly to the action and efficacy of a medicine merely Alterative. is it not reasonable to suppose that, when any part of the system is diseased, and ha - a depraved or morbid action, a medicine which will act on the Blood, and also on tlit secretions of the Skin and Kidneys, will have a happier effect than a medicine acting on the Blood alone. In ail Chronic cases this medicine has almost a specific action. In fact, it is the only medicine that will effect a speedy cure when the sys- tem is in a depraved state. an,l, at the same time, carries off the diseases not only through the Blood, but also th' ough the secretions of the Skin and Kidneys. i bis preparation is compounded upon scientific principles, and with ,great care, bj one thoroughly acquainted with the medical qualities and effects of each article, separately considered, as well as the whole in its combined state. I, therefore, recommend this preparation with the greatest confidence, being fully persuaded that it will give very general, if not IT ACTS ON ALL THE SECRETIONS OF THE SYSTEM, UNIVERSAL SATISFACTION. | I io not pretend that it is a Cure-all, nor that, in all cases, and under all circum- ! stances, it is absolutely infallible. Common sense teaches us that the day of mira- \ cle has passed, but science and facts remain, and on the strength of these we call; attention to our i VALUABLE MEDICINE. 'Che noble science of medicine is controlled by the same powers which govern the entire wo Id. Were my invalid patients simply to take this medicine for a short time, in c,ases of GKctre, Cancerous, Scirrhous, or Scrofulous Tumors, Ulceration of the Bones, etc., and then drop it, they would receive from it but very little good. They had better j not commence its use at all ; for, unless persevered in, the money expended for it; is thrown away, nobody is benefited, the disease remains uncured, and the reputa- | tioa of the medicine is injured. Is it not reasonable to suppose that when the i system has been long under the influence of a Chronic disease, it would take several i m.'uths to ERADICATE IT ENTIRELY FROM THE SYSTEM 1 > s is necessary to give an explanation of the action of this medicine on the sys- i teni, which is through the secretion of the absorbent vessels, and consists in re- | ceh ing or taking up certain substances known as virus, or poisonous principles, and • j removing them from the diseased parts through the secretions and exkalant arteries, j j until they are carried from the system. At the same time good blood is transported 1 thfuugh the chyle to the diseased parts of the body, until the The above seems necessary—it being a popular error that a medicine which acts on the Blood must necessarily act also as a Cathartic. Entire System is in a Healthy Condition. DIRECTIONS FOR USING. For an Adult—Oue tablespoouful three times a clay, soon after eating. For a Child 10 years old—Two large tea spoonfuls three times a day. For a Child 4 years old—One teaspooufuJ three times a day. For a Child 3 months old—One lialf-tesispoouful three times a day. For a Child 1 month old—Twenty drops three times a day. To be taken in about a vrinoglassful of sweetened water, if desired. Some Constitutions require even more than is named above, and I SOME LESS. In ALL CASES, XT SHOULD BE ADMINISTERED UNTIL RESISTED BY TIE STOMACH. This is a morbid slate of the Lymphatic Glandular System. At first small mots appear under the skin, behind the ears, or on the neck, which gradually in- crease, in size and number, instil they run together into one large hard Tumor. This often continues for a long time without breaking, and even then it only dis- charges a thin watery humor. Sometimes those knots appear on the Groins Armpits, Felt, Hands, Eyes, Breasts. Lips, and Nose. Treatment.—Take a dose of this medicine three times, a day—morning, noon, and night—about one-half hour after eating, and gradually increase them if the stomach will permit. In case there is a Tumor or Swelling, a cure may be facilitated by using an Ointment, which can be procured at, a Druggist’s, composed as follows; lodide of Potassium 388., Lord %iss. Dissolve the lodide of Potassium in 3or 4 drops of water (or more if necessary.) After being finely powdered, mix it thoroughly with the Lard. At first use one half drachm twice a day, or a piece the size of half a nut- rae'A With this rub the parts affected. If they, become tender, it may be omitted for a day or two ; but continue taking the 'medicine until the cure is effected. A nutritious diet should be used, and out-door exercise if the patient can bear it. Should there be SCROFULOUS Ulcers, with pain, get the lODINE OINT- MENT made as follows : SCROFULA OR KING’S EVIL.

Symptoms.—lts attack is mostly on the Throat, Mouth, ami Nose • but no vart of the body is exempt from its ravages, Treatment—Take a dose of this medicine three times a day. and continue until you are entirely cured. This medicine is absorbed by the fluids into the blood vessels, and changes the morbid, poisons to a healthy condition of the blood, until the diseases are entirely eradicated from the system. In Ulceration of the Throat or Mouth it will greatly facilitate the cure to gargle the mouth or throat with No. 6, or which is much better. Dr. Bakers Pain Panacea mixed with a little water. Or SCROFULOUS and RHEUMATIC ULCERATION or the JOINTS. Symptoms.—This disease originates in the Synovial Membrane, which often arises from cold. This disease is known by such Tumors as primarily affect the bonks, and then the Ligaments and soft joints. And in other cases the Car- tilages, Ligament and soft parts become diseased before there is any morbid affec- tion of the Bones. Treatment.—UPake a dose of this medicine three times a day, at the same time dress the part affected with lodine Ointment, as we recommend in Scrofulous Ulcers. After worn a week, it may be changed to one made of Stramonium Ointment, which can be had at any Druggist’s, or may be made by taking a handful of green leaves and stewing them in fresh lard, and then strained. This may be worn a week, and then change again fertile lodine Ointment, and so alterna- tively. After using this medicine a few months, and (lie sores commence to heal, you may make th; following HEALING OINTMENT : Linseed Oil, One Pint, Spirits Turpentine, two tablespoonfuls, Red Lead, 3’b Strained Honey, two lablespoonfuls. Beeswax, 3>>, Put the oil and red lead into an iron vessel and boil slowly until it commences to smoke ; then pour off and dissolve the beeswax in it. When it commences to cool, add the honey and spirits of turpentine. Spread on thin cloth, and apply to the ulcers, ash the parts every other nay with Castile soap and water. Tlds Heading Ointment is the most valuable one for healing that has ever been discovered. Any Old Sores that have baffled all other treatment will yield to this, EPILEPSY, AND CONVULSIONS OR FITS. In young persons this disease may be cured by this medicine. And many adults are greatly benefited so long as they continue to use it. Dose, three times a day.

Mott’s Vlolta blu Liver Pills, which will be found a Valuable assistant. DYSPEPSIA, OR INDIGESTION. This disease is generally brought on by overloading the stomach, eating just before going to bed, sedentary habits, or want of proper exercise. It may be a long time coming on, without seeming to exist. Symptoms.—A distress in the stomach after eating, nausea, heartburn, flatulency, less of appetite, a gnawing in the stomach when empty, a pain in the side or breast, great costiveness, paleness of the countenance, languor, an unwillingness to move about, low spirits, palpitations, and disturbed sleep. Treatment.—Take a dose of this medicine three times a day, and rub briskly over the liver and stomach once a day with salt mixed with alcohol. Great pai_s should iu all cases be observed as to the diet. The stomach should never be over- loaded, No meal should ever be finished. Always leave off eating before the appetite is appeased. Never eat before going to bed. Take free exercise in the open air. If the stomach is sour, take (Dr. Physic’s Ley) as follows ; Wood soot, six ounces ; pure wood ashes, one quart; and mix one gallon of boiling water. Let it stand twelve hours, then pour off and bottle; Take one tablespoonful after each meal. If you are costive, your bowels should be kept open by using Dr. Mott’s Vegetable Liver Pixels, by taking one or more every night. Treatment.—Take a dose of this medicine three times a day. If this should not raise the phlegm easy, you can make an expectorant, as follows : Hive Syrup, fi, Syrup of Squills, 'f i, Tinct, Blood Root, 3>b Acetate Morphine, grains ii. SCROFULOUS CONSUMPTION. Mix, and take one teaspoonful every hour until it produces a free expectoration. After this is produced, take the expectorate three times a day, and continue the medicine. DROPSY. Take a dose of this medicine three times a day. At the same time take the following ; One-half a pound of squills in two quarts of good cider. Let it stand six days, and after that time take one tablespoonful twice a da}'. This, with the medicine, will excite the flow of the urine, by acting on the absorbient vessels, and carrying the fluid away. RHEUftfIATiSM. In Acute Rheumatism you can get the following stimulating liniment put up by some Druggist: ]£ OH Origanum, Strong Spirits Camphor, “ Hemlock, “ “ Ammonia, “ Sassafras, Laudanum—each Jss. Mix this together. Bathe the parts affected by rubbing it in twice a day briskly with a piece of flannel for fifteen minutes. When the pain is severe, beat a shovel and hold it over the parts while bathing ; and if the pain continues long, take this medicine three times a day. CHRONIC RHEUMATISM.—Use this stimulating liniment twice a day, and take this medicine three times a day. If you cannot procure the stimulating lini- ment, get Dr. Baker’s Pain Panacea, which will answer a good purpose in its place. NEURALGIA AND GOUT.—To be treated the same as Rheumatism. Use the Stimulating Liniment, (as directed in Rheumatism) and taka a dose three times a day of this medicine. PARALYSIS, OR PALSY. SUPPRESSED MENSES, by neglecting to attend to this disease, young persons are brought in thousands a premature grave. Take Dr. Mott’s Vegetable Liver Pills sufficient to operate on the bowels freely every night about the expected time, and on going to bed soak the feet in warm water and drink freely of Pennyroyal Tea; also", take a dose of this medicine twice a day. As much out-door exercise should be taken as the system will bear. If this treatment is persevered in, a cure is certain. SCALD HEAD. Take a little Stramonium Ointment—(The directions for making this can be found under the head of White Swelling, or it may be had of some Druggist)— and anoint the parts affected every other day. Wash the parts also once each week with warm water and Castile soap, and take a dose of this medicine twice a day. This treatment is a specific, and was never known to fail. ULCERS, OR OLD SORES, Of all kinds, use this medicine three times a day. If the ulcers are inflamed, make a poultice of slippery elm, flaxseed, or bread and milk, and when the in- flammation is out you may use the Healing Ointment, (see under head of White Swelling,) and in exchange use the Stramonium Ointment (see under the head of White Swellings.) If this course is persevered in, a cure is certain. Use this medicine times a day, and at the same time rise the following ointment. SYPHILITIC, AND SWELLING OF THE BONES. Take lodine, 3ii, Take Emp.

Potassium, until the itching is relieved. DISEASE OF THE KIDNEYS. Take this medicine three times a day, and bathe freely over the parts with, salt and alcohol on going to bed. BLOOD AND LIVER SYRUP THE FOLLOWING EXPLANATION SHOWS HOW SCOVILL’S Cum Diseases, by carrying out of tlie Blood, through the Secretions, all Imparities. ■ Plate 1. Irr every part of the sys- tem there are three con- tinuous actions going on— circulation, nutrition, and secretion. These three ac- tions are common to every system, and are regular and uniform in their results. We mean, by the circula- tion, Bj fluid denominated blood-ly m ph or sap, deposit- ed in thevarious tissues,and subsequently retaken from them, of the materials of which all the fluids and sol- ids of the body are formed. These solids and fluids be- come blended together; in this way site blood becomes organized, and endowed with life >iud vitality. The uiitritioti is an action !n the several parts of the solids of the body, receiv- ing from and returning to the parts the particles of matter which are neces- sary to keep the body in a condition equal to the state before the natural changes take place; in other words, it prevents the body from decreasln-r .or wasting away; this action (supplies from the blood material which sustains and up the health of the parts, equal to that which is carried out of the system as matter unfit longer tore- main. As all the materials for nourishing the system, or keeping the body in health, are derived from the blood, it is impossible. If the blood is diseased, to have n healthy body. The life of each part is involved in the life of the whole body; and in order that the life of the blood, as well as the life of other parts con- stituting the life of the body may be preserved, every change must bo watched with great care- Any de- parture from the above rule, will result in dis- ease. If the natural sup- ply of blood received by any part of the body be altered in any respect, it will cause a change in that This ctit illustrates a view of the heart nnil tho grroet blond-vessels which play such an important part in the constitution and action of the system. All the materia! which is taken into the system, from which henithy matter, either for removal of disease or for the natural support of the system, is taken up by tho absorbents which are so abundantly spread over the parts of tlie body, as seen also in plates 2, 3, 5, and convoyed into the general circulation. The stomach, like the parts illustrated, being thus provided with the same absorbents, it is important, in curing diseases, to use such medicines as will agree with tho stomach, so as to be taken up also by the absorbents, that the gen- eral circulation of the blood may be Improved attd changed by tho admission of healthy mrSerial, which cures disease, by being admitted into the blood. Now, if pois- ons be given, the stomach rejects them to a certain extent; and even tho small portion which is taken into the biood produces a vary dangerous condition, and often remains bo firmly fixed in the system, that it requires months to remove it; and, in fact, in some cases it is almost impossible to re- move it altogether. This is the case with all the mercurial preparations, one of which, in most common use, is calomel. If this or any other poison enter the system in this way, to cure or remove them, medicine of a healthy character -mat be used in the same way. Our medicine fulfills this want without fail, ft not only acts so as to carry the dis- eased matter from the blood, but keeps the heart itself in a healthy condition. Explanation to Plate 1. part. If ejse blood Is Impure,.in any respect, parts of the body-will be diseased m proportion to the extent of the change. Healthy blood will excite the brain, PLATE S. Plitb 3. Explanation to Plats 3. This cat illustrates fully tbs leg, the blood- vessels, lymphatics, and all the deep-seated ves- sels. Letter B represents na nicer, which is nothing but a diseased condition of the part, wherever located. Now, this may extend to the flesh only, or it may extend to the bone also, and produce the condition found la Martin llobblae’s case. (See bis certifi- cate on one of the following pages.) The lattes A, in this piste, illustrates a disvased condition of the skin similar to that in the arm of plate 2. To curs them, the blood most be mode healthy. Nothing can bo more clear to our minds, from a careful examination of the body, anatomically and physiologically, than that we have sow adopted the only true theory of curing chronic diseases. Oar medicines ere prepared in view of a perfect knowledge of the facts in the case. Plate 2 represents the arm, with its blood - vessels and absorbents. There is also a portion of the flesh and skin, illustrating a diseased condition. From this it wifi be seen that the direct supply the skin receives is from She biood-vesseis as well on from the absorb- ent?,, Now, if the blood is diseased, the shin cac nut be cured. All the local ap- plications of medicine that could bo made will not cure skin diseases, unless medi- cine is used to purify the blood and ..ap- ply the skin with ti sufficient amount of healthy blood. Hence the necessity of using medic Inns which will cure all skin diseases in this way. Explanation to Plats 2. as the great center and life of the nervous system, to perform all its natural action. By this the lungs are made to act, breathing is regular and easy, and the heart and pulse eot regularly. This keeps the blood circulating equally in ail parts of the body ; and keeping the body in a natural warmth, the stomach digests the food, the liver secretes the bile, the bowels act as they should, the kidneys perform their duty by throwing off the urine, see fig. 6, Plate 4. While this is going on, every thing is thrown from the body which will not make the parts healthy, or give it strength. Now, if the blood he diseased, the brain will not be stimulated to.act; then the lungs, stomach, liver, bowels, and kidneys are all impaired in their action, the result of which is, that some of the most dangerous diseases are firmly seated. Plats 4. When the, blood is too poor in quality, or too scarce in quan- tity, it produces a variety of diseases.'' When the quantity of blood in the lungs is too great for the quantity of air breathed in a given time, it becomes rapidly diseased. If a person breathes twenty-one or twen- ty-two times in a minute, as a general rule, the pulse will be about seventy-five. If the pulse increases up to one hundred and twenty or one hundred and forty, and the breathing continues the same, it will be seen, at once, that this will de- stroy the blood rapidly, as it becomes thin and impure; the heart continues to force it through the system faster and faster, until the healthy part of it is taken to supply the body until it has become so very poor that the brain, for want of stimulus which the blood alone can give, ceases to act, and the individual dies. There is no other way to cure diseases but by first purifying Ibe whole system so as to ere- ate a healthy circulation. The first medical men of the age agree with us, that no dis- ease of any extent can be cured without using such medicines as will act directly upon the blood. Why many medical men have liiiied to cure chrou- ic diseases is, because the med- icines used have not been such as will act beneficially on the blood. Explanation to Plate 4. Thia illustrates the kidneys and the large blood- vessels connected with them. Figure 6is the kidneys. Those me secreting organs, and have to carry from the blood morbid or diseased material, which must bo taken from the system. If, in a healthy man, the secretion, which should bo carried oft’ by the kidneys, bo stopped for seventy hours, the man would die by the accumulation of the uric acid, which is poisonous, if retained in the Wood In largo quantity. Now, if the arrest of the action of the kidneys entirely will destroy life in so short a time, we know, if they are injured in their action even to a small degree, the person becomes diseased. Figure 21 represents the small tubes leading from the kidneys to the bladder. It is through these that the urine passes into the bladder after it is formed in the kidney. It mportant to have the kidneys act in order to cure diseases, as it is for the stomach or heart to act. In onr combination of agents to make a Blood and Liver Syrup, we have had special reference to this point; in this our expectation and in- tention has been realized, for no medicine is found to work more efficiently, and with more certainty, than The many thousands of bottles which have been used by the public, and the many gallons and barrels supplied to the physicians, warrant us in saying, that during the last two years we have been more suc- cessful with our Blood and Liv- er Syrup in curing hopeless cases of chronic diseases than have any other remedies in the hands of physicians or before the public. It is now admitted that no other combination known to the profession, acta so prompt- ly upon diseases as our medi- Not a single physician, out of many hundreds who have given it a fair trial, so far as we are informed, has abandoned its use; hut, on the contrary, they admit all we have claimed for it. One physician informs us that he lias used it with entire success during the last few years, in hundreds of cases, such as Scrofula, Syphil- itic and Mercurial Disease, Waite Swelling, and other Chronic diseases, many of which were deep-seated, and all other remedies had failed to cure. If the real merits of this remedy could twelve months would not pass until the greater por- tion of the thirty-five thousand Physicians now in the United States would be using it in preference to any other remedy in diseases for which it is recommended. Plats 6. We say this from the testi- mony given in favor of the use of the Blood and Laver Syrup by numbers of medical men who bave used it in treating chronic cases. Our medicine acts in perfect harmony with all the different organs of the body—with the lungs, stomach, liver, kidney, and especially as an alterative on the system. Having placed this medicine before the public, we challenge any and all medical investi- gation and science that may be brought against it. We know its effect upon the human sys- tem, in removing from the blood all the imparities which result in. consequence of dis- eases. Our Blood and Liver Syrup is an officinal preparation, ap- proved of by the very best physicians from all parts. Even professors in medical Explanation to Plate 5.

Thus the combination acts not only on the blood, but also on the skin and kidneys. It is on this account that it produces more of specific action in chronic diseases than any other remedy now before the public. Is it not reasonable to suppose, that when any part of the system is diseased, and has depraved and morbid action, a medicine which will act on the blood, and also on the secretions of the skin and the kidneys, will have a happier effect than a medicine acting on the blood alone? It carries off the disease not only through the blood, but also through the skin and kidneys. This preparation is compounded upon scientific principles, and with great care. We do not pretend that it is a cure-all, nor that, in all cases, and under all circum- stances, it is absolutely infallible. Common sense teaches us that the day of miracles has passed, but science and facts remain, and on the strength of these we call attention to our Blood and Liver Syrup. The noble science of medicine is controlled by the same powers which govern the entire world. _ Were the invalid patients simply to take this medicine for a short time, in cases of goitre, syphilitic, or scrofulous tumors, ulceration oi the hopes, etc., and then drop it, they would receive from it but very little good ; for unless per- severed in, the money expended for it is comparatively thrown away, nobody is benefited, the disease remains uncured, and the reputation of the medicine is in- jured. The action of the medicine is through the secretion .of the absorbent vessels, which consists in receiving or taking up certain substances known as virus, or poisonous principles, and removing them from the diseased parts through the secretions and exhalants, until they are carried from the system ; at the same time good blood is transported through the vessels to the diseased parts of the body. Thus it will most positively be seen that it is impossible for disease of the blood to remain iu the system if the use of this medicine is perseveied in, except in cases where the disease has worked on the system so much that there is not'vitality enough left for recuperation.

The indications of a reunion of the bone, under the circumstances, were very unfavorable, for he would sit, day after day, picking out small pieces of the bone which would slough, off. 1 found him using SCOVIEI/S preparation, which he continued to use until a cure was effected. We gave him no constitutional treatment, being in attendance only as a surgeon ; yet we confess we had much curiosity to see what could be done in a system so extensively diseased as his was.” When MARTIN ROBBINS was cured, so remarkable was the nature of his case, that Du. Newton procured some of SCOVILL’S BLOOD AND LIVER SYRUP to use in his private practice In treating chronic cases.

Some three and a half years since, I was attacked with a• Scrofulous White Swelling’, which was attended with most excruciating pains. I tried various remedies, and had two of the best physicians of the city, (one of them a Professor in an Old School Medical College,) and they failed to give me any relief. I was so reduced that I was confined to my bed for over three months. Tfie nerves and muscles of one leg were so contracted and drawn up that 1 could not walk. 1 had more than a dozen running ulcers on my legs, from which I took, from time to time, more than one hundred pieces of hone, some of them from three to four inches long. I was reduced to almost a skeleton, and my friends had given up all hopes of rny recovery. I was in this condition when I commenced the use of your BLOOD AND LIVER SYRUP.

A young man in this place, who haa the Scrofula so bad that the doctors gave him up and considered his case incurable, tried all remedies he could hear of. His mother came in my store, and wanted to know if I had anything that would cure him. I recommended Scoviil’s Blood and Shiver Syrup. She took one bottle, and since that has got two more. The first bottle got him on his feet, and the second enabled him to walk; the third she got this morning. He was the worst living human being you ever saw. Me would frighten tiie firmest minded man. Me was paler than any corpse 1 ever saw; he had sores on him larger than my fist. In different places. The above is a true statement. His skin has now a good color, and he feels well.

We cut the following from the Medical Journal, a monthly periodical pub- lished in Cincinnati. It Is from the pen of the editor, Professor R» S. NEW- TON. This Journal Is the exponent of one of our prominent MEDICAL INSTITUTIONS, and its editor, a prominent Physician and Professor in the Institution alluded to, says: “ If the people want a popular medicine, they have one here, composed of the very best agents, made in the most careful manner, after an approved formula. We have known the manufacturers of it personally for many years, and can say that they are reliable men. The formula given is greatly superior to any other alterative now before the public. “ We have used Scovill’s Compound Syrup of Sarsaparilla and Stlllingla, both private and in the worst kind of Hospital cases, in large quantities, and find it in every instance to accomplish the desired object. This is now one of the officinal medicines. Hundreds of physicians will refuse even the best of med- icines, while the combination is unknown, who would willingly adopt its use when made acquainted with the formula for its preparation. “ Messrs. SCOVILL & CO.’S Compound is now as much a regular officinal prepa- ration, as any in the United States Dispensatory, and in this respect they oc- cupy a different position from any other men who are preparing medicine for the public. A highly important point in their preparation of this compound, is their extensive facilities in procuring the several articles during the seasons when they contain the greatest amount of medicinal powers. “ We have examined the facilities of A. L. Scovill & Co.’s laboratory, and found them sufficient and adequate to the demand of their business, being arranged upon the most approved scientific plan, which enables them to preserve all the various principles of the several agents entering into its combination as recommended by the highest Pharmaceutical authority in the United States and Europe.” Note.—With such testimony in its favor, coming, as it does, from high medical authority, and involving the certainty of its adoption and use by physicians iu their regular practice, and in their COLLEGES and HOSPITALS, it may well'be asked, why should not every man, woman, and child use it who has any disease of the xuxtem. whether it be in the form of pi-mplcs on the face, or the worst forms of SfiROFULA or SYPHILIS, or any other form caused by an impure s*ntc o1" ihe Blood or deranged state of the Liver, when, lor a comparatively small expense, SCOVILI’S COMPOUND EXTRACT OF SARSAPA- RILLA AND STILLINGIA, or BLOOD AND LIVER SYRUP can be procured ?

Having seen in the May number of your Journal a notice of SCOVILL’S ELOOD AND LIVED SYRUP, and its effects upon the system, I procured, at Chicago, a dozen of the medicine to try in a case of Goitre. I have also prescribed it in a case of Enlargement of the Heart, of about eighteen months’ standing. Ho had tried every remedy, but kept growing worse. When I commenced prescribing for him, he had two spells every twenty-four hours, one at night and one in the day, when everything would he a perfect blank before him. He could neither see nor talk, and the circulation would stop.

This letter was directed to K. S. Newton, M. D., Editor of the Medical Journal. Chauncy, Athens Co., Ohio, February 29, 1860. Thinking that you would be pleased to hear what success the Compound Extract of SARSAPARILLA AND STILLINGIA had met with in this vicinity, I venture to send you a statement of a case treated by me in this place. The patient was a young lady rapidly sinking under the full development of profuse scrofulous dis- charges, etc. She had been under treatment for some time, with the advice and counsel of several eminent physicians previous to coming into my hands, without receiving any benefit. Since she has been using the BLOOD AND LIVER SYRUP, her improvement has been rapid and satisfactory. Yours, C. W. PRATT, M. D. Messes. A. L. Soovilu & Co.: ' Wyoming, Kentucky, April 14, 1859. Sir: You spoke to me in reference to the efficacy of Dr. Scovill’s Compound Ex- tract of Sarsaparilla and Stillingia, or Blood and Liver Syrup. I examined the in- gredients, finding them composed of the best alteratives now in use by the Medical Profession. I consequently admitted the use of the Compound in my practice, believing, it to he a safe and reliable remedy, and have had decided satisfaction in the administration of the remedy since I first adopted it, twelve months ago. I can, with satisfaction, recommend it to the public as an alterative of great utility and certainty in the diseases for which it is recommended. With respect, yours, C. P. BROWNING, M. D. Nf. J. D. ISOMER, of Cincinnati, gives ns file following statement of tlie use of this medicine in the case of his own son: While traveling on one of our steamboats,- he was exposed to a chilly condition of the atmosphere, which resulted in the extensive enlargement of his neck. Boon this condition assumed a chronic character, and was what might properly he called induced SCROFUiLA, for there is nothing of this kind in either member or side of the family. Although he was under the very rest medical skill for the treatment of his the glands continued to enlarge for one and a half years. Ulcers formed, and suppuration began. The same medical gentlemen then, for one and a half years, did all in their power tor arrest this condition and heal the ul- cers, hut tin ally acknowledged they could not, and declined to medicate any further, frankly acknowledging that they could not cure it. After he had become very much reduced and emaciated, Mr. Lehraer then began the use of SCOVIIdL’S BLOOD AND LITEBSYRUP, or Compound Syrup of Stil- lingia. In six months his neck was so healed that he was then put to school, and at the present time he is well, and a! ;a to attend to all the studies required. Note.—Mr. Lehmer is one of our old mei I'.ants, who stands hisrh in the community—one that has no wish to reflect in auy way upon the want of success in treating this or any other form of diseases; yet he is frank and free "to say, tlu., after three years’ constant attention to his son, ltl» physician# failed 6« cure faiai, arm abu ndoued the case!

The ca«e was one *o low that he co'dd not turn In bed. The pliyui- ciant pronounced him inairnblr.. The statement was made to Or. WE WTOW._ who happened to be at Lr. SCOT I E5/S Ofilce when Mr, James Whitaker related the whole case, which is aa follows: In June, 1858, he was attacked while at work in the field, complained of being tired, and of a heaviness ; he then became confined to his bed until next winter. Upon the hip there was a swelling, resembling a boil; this lasted for a few days without suppurating. Then the inflammation on the hip subsided, and it began to appear on the ankle; this became much swollen, and was attended with violent pain, which lasted about ten days, at which time suppuration waa-estaWished, and it was lanced by his physician. After this, there was extensive discharge of mat- ter from twelve fistulous openings, from the foot to the knee, so much so, that by inserting £he pipe of the syringe, when filled with water, at the lower orifice, the water flowed freely from every opening, showing a complete communication. So extensive was this, that the flesh or muffles appeared to be separated from the bone. At this date the physician pronounced him incurable, unless he would consent to have his leg am put* led, and this he stated to the boy and his fronds. Even while the doctor advised amputation, he acknowledged that there was hut little hope even from that! The d etor stated to his neighbors that the bay could not live a month without it. My son objected to any operation, and there being no other hope, he began the use of ScovilPs Blood and Inver Syrup in the last week in December, 1858. At that time he was confined to his bed, not able to stand on his feet, or even to turn himself over; loss of appetite, restless at night, with a free and extensive ulceration of the bone; over one hundred places have sloughed off, with all the attendant difficulties upon such a condition. His condition is as follows: He is able to go any where he pleases, has regained his usual strength, his appetite is good, the suppuration of the leg is arrested, except in three small places, attended with but little discharge, only enough to stain the dressing in the twenty-four hours, I now regard my son as well. This is one of the most desperate cases of scrofulous disease of the bone ever red! One very remarkable feature of this case is, that the leg has regained its natural size and length, and there is not the least deformity of the limb. JAMES H. WHITAKER. CINCINNATI, MARCH 29, 1860.

Gentlemen: Some two years ago my entire system became entirely prostrated, attended with disease of the Liver, Spine and Kidneys. The spine and kidneys caused me to lose the use of my limbs, and I became bed-ridden for more than a year. In this condition my liver and digestive organs became most seriously diseased! My Doctor, with two other Physicians, after holding consultation, GAVE ME UP TO DIE, and advised me to prepare my business for death! In this prostrated condition, confined to my bed, suffering with pain move than of a thous- and deaths, and, comparatively, more dead than alive, and, for months, not expecting to live, was I, when I obtained a bottle of your BLOOD AND LIVER SYRUP, which was in February last, and from the very first I commenced gaining rapid ty.

When I consider how low I have been, and the length of time that I was con- fined to bed helpless as a child, and the cure effected by your BLOOD AND LIVER SYRUP, I FEEL THAT THE WORLD SHOULD KNOW IT! and I believe that others who are afflicted will find great benefit by Its use. My residence is No. 28 East Third Street. Most truly yours, GEO. P. WARNER. Dear Sir; I have been snnets afflicted with the SCROFULA for gome three years, and have tried almost every preparation presented to afflicted mortality, and, indeed, have consulted the very BEST MEDICAL MEN OF THE AGE, and re- ceived no benefit, until I accidentally tried your BLOOD AND LIVER SYRUP, which indeed has acted like a charm ! Dr. Bcovill. PARKERSBURG, VA., JUNE 11, 1861. For some two years my neck and breast was covered with sores and ulcers. My physical strength was so prostrated that I could hardly raise myself up in bed; my limbs were very sore and painful, and indeed my mind was so seriously af- fected that my most intimate friends thought that I had, to a great extent. Inst the use of my reasoning faculty! My stomach was also so affected that it appeared that ulcers had formed, which caused me to vomit from one to three times a day for some two years, but before I had taken one bottle of your BLOOD AND LIVER SYRUP, the tone of my stomach was restored ! And now, with prudence, I can eat almost anything. The ulcers nod sores on my neck are almost entirely healed up. The soreness of my limbs has entirely left me, and I flatter myself that I shall soon again be a sound man. Send me two gallons of your BLOOD AND LIVER SYRUP, and say to the world that your medicine can and will cure Dyspepsia and .Scrofula ! Believe me, dear sir, your ob’d’t serv’tj , J. W. HORNER. P. S.—The two gallons I wish for a friend, who is in a worse condition than I was, if possible. Physicians have given him up, and your Blood and Liver Syrup is the only thing which will cure him. J. W. H. N. B.—Mr Horner is an eminent lawyer, and ex-member of the Legislature of Virginia, and his statements can be relied upon as correct in every particular. How often people seem to live as though their happiness depended upon the amount of money which they are laboring to gain. Can we enjoy money with- out health ? In this country there are but few people, who use the proper means, that can not supply all their necessary wants, yet paying but little attention to diseases, which are gradually destroying the system. If the Liver and the secretions have been clogged, or the blood has accumulated humors, which engender Scrofula, cutane- ous eruption, or liver complaint, by using SCOVILL’S BLOOD AND LIVER SYRUP the system can be restored to health, and without health money will be of little value.—Statesman, Columbus, Ohio.

My daughter Eliza has been SORELY AFFLICTED with SCROFULA, attended with great pain, for more than two years. She had some five or six run- ning ULCERS on one of her feet, one on her hip, and one on her back. They eaused contraction of her limbs, so that she could not walk. At this time, from the high recommendations of your BLOOD and LIVER SYRUP in curing such diseases, I was induced to try it. She commenced using it, and as the, medicine acted on the blood, the sores commenced to heal. The limbs are getting straight—she is now gaining strength. I have only used three bottles of the medicine, and she can now walk quite well. Your BLOOD and LIVER SYRUP has done wonders in restoring her health 1 With the greatest respect, 1 remain yours, M.

Cooper’s Plains, Steuben Co., IT. Y., March 1, 1860. It is with pleasure that I write you in regard to Scovill’s Blood and Liver Syrup. I think it one of the best purifiers of the day. It has met with perfect success in every case where I have used it. My first case was that of a young child, about eighteen months old, troubled with Erysipelas and Scrofula very badly. By the use of the Blood and Liver Syrup it has entirely recovered. The other case was a lady who had been afflicted with Scrofula for the last twenty-five years. She had tried the prescriptions of the skillful physicians in this part of the country with no beneficial effect. She commenced using the Blood and Liver Syrup in November, and at that time was in the most deplorable condition—having been unable to do any work for the past twenty years. She is now entirely well, and able to attend to her work. EYERETT, M. D. We have been particular in giving a few of the many cases that have come under our observation, and also a few extracts of the many letters that have been received- respecting this compound, that it might be seen by the readers of this Journal that other physicians have used it with as much success as we have. Although we recommend this preparation as a medicine for the people, still there are cases so complicated that other remedies may be necessary to be used in con- nection with this. In such cases, the patient should consult his physician, or correspond with the proprietors of this medicine. E. S. NEWTON, M. D., Editor. We have received the following certificate from Dr. Samuel Silsbee, who devotes especial attention to the treatment of Scrofula, Syphilitic Skin Diseases, and all chronic diseases arising from an impure state of the blood: “ I have carefully examined your formula for SYRUP OF SARSAPARILLA AND STILLINGIA, and have used it in my practice, and found it the most valu- able alterative in Scrofula and Syphilitic Diseases that I have ever used.

I saw the circular recommend- ing your Blood and Liver Syrup, and I made up my mind that it would suit my case. About six years ago I had a prickly feeding in my legs, and if I remained still for ten minutes my legs became numb and palsied. It kept me in a complete nervous uneasiness, and at night my blood would become stagnated, which affected my head and back. I would turn over and over at least twenty times during the night. Twelve months since, while I was actively employed, I had so severe an attack that I have not been able to exercise since without producing much pain. I commenced taking your Blood and Liver Syrup, and have taken a few bottles; and believe me, Mr. Scovill, I am entirely well, and feel better than at any time for the last fifteen years. A. C.

I then got more, and used externally the ointment, as directed. After taking ten or twelve bottles she was entirely cured. JAMES BATES, Fifth St., between Plum and Western Row. Note.—The above certificate shows how admirably this medicine acts on the system. Its action is through the secretion of the absorbent vessels, and consists in receiving or taking up certain substances, known as virus, or poisonous principles, and re- moving them from the diseased parts, through the secretions and exhalant arteries, i until they are carried from the system.

Scovill A Co.: Cincinnati, July 10, 1867. \ Gentlemen: This is to certify that I was last winter afflicted w-ith Inflammatory | Rheumatism for eight weeks. I tried almost everything that was recommended to | me, but found no relief. I was confined to bed, and my legs were very much swoll- ! on, attended with excruciating pain. I tried your BLOOD SYRUP, and used the' Stimulating Liniment ns directed ; and by the use of three bottles of your BLOOD , SYRUP was perfectly cured. I enjoy better health than ever.

HALL’S BALSAM strikes at the root cf the disease at onco, and such is its ; speedy effect, that any one using it freely, according to directions, for twenty-four I or forty-eight hours, and not entirely satisfied with its merits may return it and .1 receive back his money. The most distressing cough is frequently relieved by a I single dose, and broken up in a few hours’ time. The afflicted do not have to take j bottle after bottle before they find whether this remedy will afford relief or not, | Cali on the agent and get a pamphlet gratia. The treatise on consumption alone ij is worth the price for the medicine. You will find certificates of physicians in j Ciridmuiti, and of others whose cures have been effected here at home, where they | can be found. The public have been imposed upon by remedies recommended by certificates ! which nave always originated from some unknown source. We believe that a ‘ medicine possessing1 real merits will effect euros wherever it is used, at home as j well as abroad. This is no paregoric preparation, but one which, if used in season, will save the lives of thousands; and itersous may make this bargain with agents I from whom they purchase ; that, in every case where it is used freely, according to ■ directions, and entire satisfaction is not given in twenty-four or forty-eight hours, they can return the medicine, and their money will bo cheerfully refunded. ' It has effected cures in numerous eases, where the most skillful physicians in this country and in Europe have been employed, and have exercised their skill in vain. Coses which they pronounced incurable, and surrendered as hopeless beyond a i doubt, leaving the patients without a single ray to enliven them in their gloom, | have been cured by BE. HALL’S BALSAM, and the “victims of consumption” | are now vigorous and strong as the most robust among us. And these cases are not I isolated ones; they are numerous, and can be pointed out in every community, where this most unrivaled remedy has been tested. Be slow, then, to believe the oft-repeated story about the lungs being gone; or rather let no such apprehension induce you to give up. Act upon the principle that while there is life there is hope. You can never be so low that you may sot trust, humanly speaking, in HALL’S BALSAM, More than one, nay hun- dreds, has it brought almost from death to life, when all else had failed. tJive, i then, this powerful but harmless remedy a trial. “[jpjtl«ssy j We have certificates of its cures from many of our m
