A THRILLING NARRATIVE! 
Verified before FERNANDO WOOD* Mayor of the City of New-York, 
Of most astounding facts, as related by a gentlemen now in the city of New-York, which 
occurred to him whilst on his late JOURNEY TO SALT LAKE CITY. 
His providential escape from an untimely death shows the wonderful powers and efficacy of 
the remedy used in his recovery, and must inspire confidence to all sufferers, however low and 
wasted they may have become by disease or misfortune. 
READ! PAUSE'! AND THINK!'! 
Dr. John Bull.-Dear Sir: On or about the 1st of March, 1854, I arrived at Great Salt Lake 
in a complete state of exhaustion-almost a skeleton-and suffering from disease incidental to 
great exposure and abstinence from wholesome and proper food, contracted on the late winter 
Exploring Expedition of Col. Fremont in crossing the Rocky Mountains. My digestive organs 
were so weakened that no kind of food did me any good, and I was under the impression^hat 
my dissolution would soon follow. 
My physician recommended your preparation of Sarsaparilla. I succeeded, after great trouble, 
in obtaining a few bottles, for which I think I paid three dollars per bottle. By usin^ three 
bottles I found my genera! health re-established; and when I left Salt Lake City, on the 6th of 
May, I had gained forty pounds of flesh, and was in more robust health than I had ever been 
before. If this certificate of the benefit I derived from the use. of your Sarsaparilla can be of 
any service to you, you can use it as you wish. I am, dear sir, respectfully, &c., 
। S. NUNES CARVALHO, 
.New-York, April 18, 1855. Corner of White-street and Broadway. 
Sworn and subscribed to before me at the city of New-York, April 21st 
1855. 
Witness my hand and the seal of the Mayoralty. 
FERNANDO WOOD, Mayor. 
United States of America, State of New-York, w. 
I, Richard B. Connoly, Clerk of the City and County of New-York, and also Clerk of the 
Supreme Court for said City and County, do hereby certify that Fernando W7ood, Mayor of the 
city of New-York, before whom the foregoing deposition was taken, was. at the time of taking 
the same the mayor of said city, and that his signature thereto annexed is genu- 
ine, and that the seal affixed is the official seal of the mayoralty. 
In testimony whereof, I have hereunto set my hand and affixed the seal of the 
said court and county, the 21st day of April, 1855.

DYSPEPSIA!! 
The most distressing of all diseases, the most difficult to permanently cure, of any that afflicts 
society. A confirmed. Dyspeptic is the doctor's dread plague-an ascetic in the social circle, and 
is a perfect burden to himself. Dyspepsia has caused more suicides than love, and committed 
more murders than jealousy ! The dyspeptic is a poor, miserable being, and heretofore all 
efforts to restore him have proved ineffectual. He has been dosed with Brandy Smashes, or 
other powerful stimulants, until his "copper" is burned out, or he has been fed on low vege- 
table diet until his very knees knock together as he walks, from extreme weakness and lassitude. 
He has tried all the remedies of doctors, quacks, and old women. He has lived on Graham 
bread, until the mucous membrane of the alimentary canal is completely scoured out of him, 
and still the poor demented sufferer gets worse and worse! He can eat nothing but a little 
milk-porridge-or water-gruel, and even that sours on his stomach, producing excruciating pains 
and eructations, and he is obliged to take soda, or some other alkali, to arrest acidity or water- 
brash. 
A Ikalies produce stone in the bladder or "gravel," and an awful diarrhoea, which soon re- 
duces him to the necessity of laying down to die in this dreadful condition, filled with anguish 
and despair ! 
Dr. Bull's Sarsaparilla, the greatest discovery of this discovering age, the great Natural 
Remedy-the medicine which is not a medicine, but a combination of pure Honduras and 
American Sarsaparilla, blended with Burdock, Yellow Dock, and Wild Cherry-was presented 
to him as a last hope. He, with the eagerness and energy of a drowning man catching at straws, 
placed it to its lips. Life or death hung upon the result. Nature, with Bull's Sarsaparilla as 
her assistant, triumphed I The first few doses corrected all acidity and strengthened his diges- 
tive organs, braced his nerves, giving full action to his torpid liver, and a few bottles cured him. 
This pleasant-to-take preparation always assists dissolving the food, and sending its nutri- 
tious principles into the absorbents, regulating the biliary duct-promoting the secretions, thus 
giving vent to the excretions, stimulating the nerves, relieving costiveness, checking diarrhoea, 
and restoring perfect health to the hitherto incurable and confirmed dyspeptic.

Bull's Sarsaparilla.-This renown physic has been introduced into our commu- 
nity. A picture, a copy of which we ha represents the triumphal entry of Jno. Bull, 
; of Kentucky, into New York, last sumn . The scene is at Harlem Bridge, and the 
Bull has precipitated into the current be .th "good old Dr. Jacob Townsend" and Mr. 
Sands; while "young S. P." is hurled, • h one of his fermented bottles bursting, high 
J into the air. An exultant crowd, assem 1 on the bridge, bears testimony to the won- 
। derful superiority aud efficacy of Bull's f saparilla.- Vicksburg Sentinel. 
None are so fond of secrets as ose who do not mean to keep them. Such 
persons covet secrets as a spendthrift cot money-for the purpose of circulation. 
Many a man has ruined his eye joking through the bottom of a tumbler. The Mother and Child. 
^vVhat a beautiful and interesting relation is 
that which exists between mother and child ! 
The love of a mother is the most pure, holy 
and unselfish passion of the human heart- 
and the dependence, reliance and confidence 
of the child on the mother's love and devotion, 
is a delightful theme for contemplation for the 
pMlanthropist. But how his heart must bleed, 
when he sees that devoted mother bending over 
her child, herself writhing in pain and suffering 
from the influence of disease, and her beauteous 
babe covered with scrofulous sores !-if she 
has no remedy, nor can procure any for their 
relief. But, there is a Balm, yea, a Balm in 
Gilead ! that has never failed to eradicate Scro- 
fula in all its multiplied forms-and mothers 
should at once procure Dr. Bull's Genuine 
Sarsaparilla, and lose no time in taking it her- 
self and thus dispense to her babe its healing 
qualities, which is sure to heal both mother and 
child. Thousands of such cases have come 
under our special notice in the past year, and 
no mother has yet tried it, without being 
delighted with its effects. Asa female medi- 
cine, Bull's Sarsaparilla has no equal on earth 
-as a regulator of the system-for this valu- 
able Preparation of Doctor Bull's has been 
prepared in strict reference to " Female Com- 
plaints." Ladies of all weakness and lassitude 
from using but few doses become robust, and 
full of energy under its influence. It immedi- 
ately counteracts the nervousness of the female 
frame, which at times is the great cause of 
barrenness-and to those females it is specially 
recommended as superior to all the " invigo- 
rating cordials" ever offered for debility, impo- 
tency or all irregularities of nature. 
NOTICE TO~FEMALES. 
John Bull's Sarsaparilla is one of the greatest 
female medicines now in existence In those 
numerous cases where the constitution is debi- 
litated, the nervous energy is lessened when 
the efforts of nature are weak and deficient, 
or are profuse and overwrought, when the face 
is pale and colorless, the strength feeble and 
yielding, the spirit troubled and depressed, the 
health broken, the mind shaken, and conse- 
quently the happiness destroyed, then Bull's 
Sarsaparilla is a sovereign remedy. It assists 
nature in the performance of her duty, braces 
the whole system, renews permanently the na- 
tural energies, removes obstructions, checks 
excesses, creates pure and healthy blood, and 
imparts health and 'xppiness. Were ladies 
generally to adopt the use of this medicine, 
we would see far less suffering, disease, and 
unhappiness among them than now exists ; 
health would tajee the place of disease ; the 
rosy eheck would succeed the pallid face; we 
would have smiles instead of tears, and per- 
haps a happy long life instead of one cut short 
by disease, or made miserable from continued 
suffering and affliction. At that critical period 
formed the "Turn of Life," which is often 
attendant with so much danger, Bull's Sarsa- 
parilla is found to exert a most beneficial effect. 
All ladies approaching this crisis should be* 
apprised of this fact, and avail theajselves&w 
this valuable medicine. 
deTth. 
Where I shall die-I know it not, 
Nor where my ashes shall be laid; 
Only be it my happy lot 
With saints relieved to leave the dead : 
Small care to me the place affords- 
The earth throughout is all the Lord's. 
But when in death I shall recline, 
Then let my soul ascend to thee: 
Through Christ's redemption I am thine, 
By faith his glories now I see. 
'Twill all be well I I little prize 
Where, how, or when this body dies. 
When I shall die, is all unknown, 
Except to thine omniscient mind ; 
And lest with life my hopes be gone, 
May I from thee such favor find, 
That I may always be prepared 
For death, and for thy great award. 
How I shall die, to ask were vain ; 
Death does his work in varied forms : 
To some with agonies of pain, 
And some sink peaceful in his arms. 
Just as Ihou wilt, if, when 'tis past, 
My soul be found with thee at last. 
God on the Ocean. 
We were crowded in the cabin, 
Not a soul did dare to sleep; 
It was midnight on the waters, 
And a storm was on the deep. 
'Tis a fearful thing in winter, 
To be shattered in the blast, 
And to hear the rattling trumpet 
Thunder, "Cut away the mast!" 
So we shuddered there in silence, 
For the stoutest held his breath, 
While the hungry sea was roaring, '' 
And the breakers talked with Death. . 
As we sadly sat in darkness, 
Each one busy at his prayers, 
"We are lost!" the captain shouted, 
As he staggered down the stairs 
But his little daughter whispered, 
As she took his icy hand, 
" Is not God upon the ocean, 
Just the same as on the land!" 
Then we kissed the little maiden, 
And we spoke in better cheer, 
And we anchored safe in harbor, 
When the morn was shining clear. 
Politeness at Home.-Always speak withf 
the utmost politeness and deference to your 
parents and friends. Some children are polite 
and civil everywhere else, except at home ; but 
there they are coarse and rude enough. Nothing 
sits so gracefully upon children, and nothing 
makes them so lovely, as habitual respect and 
dutiful deportment towards their parents and 
superiors. It makes the plainest face beautiful, 
and gives to every common action a nameless 
but peculiar charm. SOMETHING NEW ANU | ALUAMEH 
The most powerful King on the face of the globe, now reigns supreme in the American 
republic. The power of the crowned heads of Europe sinks into insignificance, when com- 
pared to that of our American King. 
European kings employ the authority vested in them to increase the riches of the rich and 
lordly, and to reduce to greater misery and degradation the poor and dependent. Our American 
Ring goes forth with equal willingness to the lordly mansion and humble cabin, ready 
alike to administer relief, and to offer health and happiness to the lofty, and the lowly, the 
rich and the poor. 
DR. JOHN BULL'S - 
GREAT AWERICAN KING 
Is the TENTH WONDER OF THE WORLD, and the greatest blessing ever offered to 
afflicted humanity ; to the suffering millions the Doctor can say, relief is at your command. 
You have only to use this magical remedy. All those who still suffer, and will not accept the 
proffered Bahn, deserve not the pity of their families. 
This wonderful medicine, during the brief period since its introduction, has carried happiness 
to the hearts of thousands, and made life a charm to many who heretofore regarded it only as a 
painful and miserable existence. 
To the winds with all Liniments, Embrocations, Pain Killers, and Pain Extractors, and 
let millions of glad tongues proclaim the merits of the great' "American King of Pain," a 
preparation composed solely of vegetables and roots, produced by America's own rich and 
bounteous soil. 
We would ask the Ladies, who are always competent judges of what is and what is not a 
valuable family medicine, to do us a"special favor by giving the King of Pain a single trial, and, 
if satisfactory, exert their influence in its behalf, recommend it, speak well and often of it, and 
see that it is used by their afflicted neighbors. The ladies are always charitable, and when 
they induce their suffering friends to use this really valuable medicine, they will be doing an 
act of benevolence that they can well be proud of. This is a powerful and truly magical 
remedy for all external diseases, sores, swellings, burns, &c, and for many internal afflictions 
it is a certain cure; yet it is perfectly harmless, and incapable of producing the least injurious 
effects in the most delicate cases or the weakest constitution. 
It is entirely useless to follow the old and' worn-out system of publishing to the public 
thousands of certificates of wonders performed by this medicine. It costs but twenty-five cents 
to try it; and Dr Bull stakes his well-earned reputation on the King of Pain doing all, and 
more, than he claims for it. 
We would ask, have you the Rheumatism or Gout I these are not pleasant companions, and 
we know that you would like to drive them away as quick as possible ; then use " Bull's King 
of Pain." 
Would you be cured almost immediately of Bowel Complaint, Dysentery, Summer Complaint, 
Cholera Morbus, Cramp Colic, Headache, Toothache, or any other ache or pain, the remedy is 
simple and the cure certain-use the great King of Pain. 
Would you have your Sores, Swellings, Cuts, Burns, Scalds, Bruises, or any other wounds 
healed, we repeat it, use the " Magical King cf Pain." Would you be cured of Scald Head, 
Stiff Joints, Sore Throat, Neuralgia, Sore Breast, Lumbago, Tetter or Ring Worm, Salt 
Rheum, Bites of Poisonous Insects, Chapped Hands, and all other Sores, either dry or running, 
we say again and again, your remedy is Dr. John Bull's "King of Pain." 
Would you be cured of King's Evil, Cancer, Tumors, Eruptions, or any disease of the skin 
caused by impure blood, then use Dr. John Bull's Sarsaparilla internally, and the King of Pain 
externally ; nothing can be more certain than a speedy and effectual cure.
