When thrown upon the cords and joints , rheumatism in all its forms are induced ; when upon the kidneys , it produces pain , heat , calculi , diabetes , or strangury , excess or deficiency of urine , with inflammation and other Bad disorders of the bladder . When carried to the bones , the morbid matter destroys the animal end earthy substances of these tissues , producing necrosis , i . e ., deca ) or ulceration of the bones . When conveyed to the liver , all forms of hi-patic or bilious diseases are produced . When to the lungs , it produces pneumonia , catarrh , asthma , tubercles , cpugh , expectoiation , and final consumption . When to the stomach , the effects are inflammation , indigestion , tick headache , vomiting-, loss of tone and appetite , and a fainting , sinking aenuution , bringing troubles and disorders of the whole ftyaten * . When it seizes upon the brain , spinal marrow or nervouH system , it brings on the tic dolorenx , or neuralgia , chorea , or St .

When to the eyes , ophthalmia ; to the eara , ottorrhcoa ; to the throat , bronchitis , croup , &c . Thus all the maladies known to the human system are induced by a corrupt stale of the blood . With no general remedy on which implicit reliance can be placed as a purifier of the blood , disease and suffering , and consequent want , stalk unchecked and unsubdued in every land in all the world . If there is arreBt of action in any of the viscera , immediately they begin to decay ; if any fluid ceases to circulate , or to be changed tor fresh , it becomes u mass of corruption , and n mali gnant enemy to the living fluida and solids . If the blood xtagnatee it spoils ; if the bile does not pass off , and give place to lrculi , it rots ; if the urine is retained it ruins body and blood . The whole system , every secretion , every function , every fluid depend ( or their health upon action , circulation , change , giving : nid receiving—and the moment theue cease dleeaue , decay , and death begin . In thus tracing the causes and manifestations of disease , we sec hoiv wonderful and mysterious are the ways of Providence in adapting the relations of cause and effect , of action and reaction , of life and death . All nature abounds with the truth that every active substance has its opposite or corrective . All poisons have their antidotes , and all diaeuBea have their remedies , did we but know them . Upon this principle was Or . Jvwnseud guided in the discovery of his medicine .

      CUKE 9 l ' Ott THE UNCURED 1 ' HOLLOWAY'S OINTMENT . —An extratmlinary Cuujs of Scrofula , or Kino ' s Evil . Extract of a Letter from Mr . J . H . Alliuay , 209 , High-street , Cheltenham , dated the 22 nd of January , 1850 . To Professor Hollo w > Y . " Sih , —My eldest son , when about three yenrs of age , was afflicted with a Glandular Swelling in the neck , which , after a short time , broke out into an Ulcer . An eminent medical man pronounced it as a very bad casu of Scrofula , and prescribed for a conuiderable time without effect . The diueaec then for four years went on gradually increasing in virulence , when , besides the ulcer in the neck , another formed below the left knee , and a third uudttr the eye , beuides seven others on the left arm , with a tumour between the eyes , which was expected to break . During the whole of the time my Buffering boy had received the constant advice of the most celebrated medical Gentlemen at Cheltenham , besideH being for several inonthu at thu General Hospital , where one of the Surgeon * said that he would amputate thu left arm , hut that the blood ivau ho impure that , if that limb were taken off , it would be then even impossible to subdue the disease . In this desperate Htale I determined to give your Pills and Ointment a trial , and , after two months' perseverance in their use , the tumour gradually begun to disappear , and the iiitcharge from all the uloora perceptibly decicatted , and at the expiration of eight mouthu tlioy wore perfectl y healed , and thu boy thoroughly restored to thu bleBttings of health , to the astonishment of a large circle of acquaintances , who could testify to the truth of thJH niiruculoua cnKt :. Threu yenrs have now rlapscd without any recurrence t <» the malady , and the boy in now uh healthy as heart cun wiwli . Under these circumstances I consider that I should be truly ungrateful were I not to make you aei ] iminted with thi » wonderful cure , effected by your medicines , after every other meant * had failed .

      OLD DE . JACOB TOWNSEND'S G ENUINE ORIGINAL UNITED STATES ' l-r QARSAPARILLA .-In submitting : this Sarsaparilla to ^ ItT ot England , we have been influenced by the same the P wlrieb dfiSed its promulgation in America . This mo tives WD Q ~ L ftnarilla of old Dr . Townsend has nothing in Comp ^ with preparations ^ bearing the name . in England or wn > ' » . ° » prepared by one of the noblest American Chemists , Am l the aoprXtion of a great and respectable body of-Amehavl % hvsici aw . and Druggists , universally adopted by the Ame" ¦ cm Swd formingaT compound of all the rarest medicinal rlc f CJds Plants , and * flowers that grow on American soil it ?™ ' v truly be called the Great and Good American Remedy . l f- ^ l / sit were . amid sickness and disease , and studying itmnul-M ^ nous Phase * and manifestations in Hospitals . Asylums , and U Meof the sick , for more tban 40 years , Dr . Townsend 1 , nuatffied . above all other men , to prepare a medicine which rudSm a greater amount of good " than any other man «» * ivfmr When received into the stomach it u digested like The food , fnd enters into the circulation as the nutriment part of ^ s ' nMrrem 'Sial action is upon the blood , and through that unon " verv part where it is needed . It is in this way that this Scinl supplies the blood with constituents which it needs , and removes that which it does not need . In this way rtpun . fles the blood of excess of bile , acids , and alkalies , of pus of all foreign and morbid matter , and brings it into a healthy cldition . In this way it quickens or moderates the circotation . producing coolness , warmth , or perspiration . I" *>• ^ tf * J is that this medicine is conveyed to the liver , -where it allays inflammatioa . or relieves congestion , removes obstructions cleanses and heals abscesses , dissolves gummy or thickened bife and excites healthy secretions . In this way , also is this medicine conducted to the lungs , where it assuage , ^ animation allays irritation , relieves cough , promotes expectoration , absolves tubercles , and heals ulceratjons . In like manner it acts on the stomach to neutralise acidity , remove flatulence , debility , heartburn , nausea , restore tone , appetite , &c . In the same way it acts upon the kidneys , on the bowels , on the uterus , the ovaria , and all internal organs , and not less effectually on the elandular and lymphatic system , on the joints , bones , and the skin It is by cleansing , enriching , and purifying the blood that old Dr . Townsend ' s Sarsaparilla effects so many wonderful cures Physiological science has demonstrated the truth of what is asserted in Holy Writ , that " the Blood is the Life . " Upon this fluid all the tissues of the body depend for their maintenance and repletion . It carries to and maintains vitality in every part by its circulation and omnipresence . It replenishes the wastes of the system , elaborates the food , decomposes the air , and imbibes vitality from it ; regulates the corporeal temperature , and gives to every solid and fluid its appropriate substance or secretion—earthy and mineral substance , gelatine , marrow , and membrane to the bones—fibrine to the muscles , tendons , and ligaments—nervous matter to the brain and nerves—cells to the lungs—linings to all the cavities ; parenchymatoua and investimg substances to the viscera ; coats , coverings , &c , to all the vessels ; hair to the head—nails to the fingers and toes ; urine to the kidneys ; bile to the liver—gastric juice to the stomach ; sinovial fluid to the joints—tears to the eyes ; saliva to the mouth ; moisture to the skin—and every necessary fluid to lubricate the entire framework of the system ; to preserve it from friction and inflammation . Now , if this important fluid becomes corrupt or diseased , and the secreting organs fail to relieve it of the morbid matter , the whole s > stem feels the shock , and must sooner or later sink under it , unless relieved by the proper remedy . When this virulent matter is thrown to the skin , it shows its disorganizing and virulent influence in a multitude of cutaneous diseases , as salt rheum , scald head , erysipelas , white swelling , scarlet fever , measles , smallpox .
