TOKENS QF NATION U PROSPERITY.
For the year ending Oct. 31st, the
balance of trade in favor of the Unit
ed States was $269,000,000. These
figures show how strong and what a
wonderful factor in the commercial
world our country has become. But
a tew years since, when we were
burdened with debts, and the inter
est in the public debt caused us to
put forth every endeavor to meet its
prompt payment, and when the
country was stricken with business
paralysis, the balance of trade was
annually $150,000,000 against a.
But our people have learned wisdom
by experience and have, for several
years last passed, been practicing
economy with very desirable results.
Costly equipages and large establish
ments ha?e given way to the more
simple and less expensive modes o
living. Resumpliorr has been a great
boon to the country in restoring
credit abroad and inspiring confi
dence at home. While the idle mills
and factories have again resumed
business, after a long and distressing
silence, furnishing employment to
thousands ot our laboring popula
tion, the lively, strong and active
pulse of reviving trade is felt through
every avenue of business. Never
before have business men felt such
confidence in the future as at present.
Railroads are being projected and
forced forward to completion with
an energy heretofore unknown, and
are opening to settlement large por
tions of the public domain that has
lain idle for want of sufficient means
of transporting their products to the
seaboard. Wo have been blessed
with large crops, of every descrip
tion, and they have realized the pro
ducer, good prices, while the Repub
lican party has been given a new
lease of power by increased majori
ties. It would seem that Providence
is on on our side, not only blessing
us with enormous crops and a con-
quent business revival, but by
allowing the Democratic party to
exist to commit blunders that enure
to the prosperity ot the Republican
cajise. The elections this fall have
retired such Bourbons as Thurman of
Ohio, Keinau of N. Y. Eaton of
Connecticut, and all U. S. Senators
whose terms expire March 4, 1880.
In their places will be elected sound
Republicans, who believe in the
Sovereignty of the Nation and are
attached to its principles and honor,
and who will not, by any word or
act of theirs, aid the Rebel Briga
diers in robbing the National Treas
ury to pay for mules ov- cattle or
slaves-captnred or destroyed during
.the late war.
Gold, by the ship- load, is coming
to our shores to pay for our cereals
and manufactured fabrics. The na
tions of the earth believe in us. Be
lieve that we are capable and willing
to pay our just obligations, and at
the same time take care of all our
people, besides contributing largely
to J.he distressed of other lands.
Our credit is almost unbounded, and
will remain so just so long as we
live soberly, and practice the econo
my taught us in the severe school of
the past. No nation is more respect
ed than ours. None that exerts the
enlightening influences in the world.
To whom do we owe all this ? To the
Great Ruler of Nations, through the
instrumentality of the Republican
party. A tidal wave of prosperity,
unequaled before in our history, has
enveloped the entire country. And
the nation is vigorous, active, aggres
sive and is just entering upon an
era of usefulness, enlightenment and
grandeur before unknown.
" CONSISTENCY THOU ART A JEWEL."
During the last two or three years
the National Democracy have been
playing the lover tatheGreenbackers,
in hopes that by 1880 they would
have the unsuspecting damsel in
there power to that extent, that they
could control whatever influence, be
it much or little, that she, the said
damsel, might have. But how sadly
are there hopes blighted.. Their
seeming triumph is turned to disas
ter. Their bright hopes blasted and
their fond anticipations vanished like
the ignis fatuus. Whenever they
have sought coalition with the Rag
Baby party, although flattered at
first, in the end have been inglorious
ly chastised. Many of the Demo
eratic leaders have been caught in
the meshes ot their toils and have
been flattered and cajoled into re
nouncing life-long traditions and
principles, only to be left on the bat
tlefield of political strife, mortally
wounded, or dead, without a single
Greenbacker near to offer consola
tion. In short, the Democrats who
were foolish enough to believe that
the Greenback party ever had any
influence that would be lasting, have
been sorely disappointed and be
trayed. No party can exist very long in
this country without something about
which men msy and will cluster.
Some fixed principle, tradition or
practice that commends itself to the
masses. Men do not go into cnthu
siasm and worship at the shrine of
meaningless nothings. There must be
some vitalizing principle that appeals
to the hearts and consciences of men,
in order to attract aud liald them in
the service of any sector party. In
the words of Hans Brightman, " Once
there was a Greenback barty ; where
ish dat Barty now?" Echo at.swers,
lost, on the great ocean of time,
January 1st, 1879, the day Itcsump
tion took place. A remarkable fact,
is it not. Not only are the Green
backers out in the cold, without the
offices to dispose to hungry breth
ren, but the Democratic party have
irretrieveably lost that which was
within their reach, and almost within
thsfr very hands, a short time ago,
to wit: The crontrol of the National
Government.
The Thurmans, Ewings, Voorhees
and Hendricks, have tried to curry
favor with the Rag Baby party and
have all been laid aside for repairs.
While these so-called patriots and
leaders were doing all in their power
to ride into places of honor and po
litical preferment by the aid of the
Greenbackers, the Democratic parly
thought the country was wonderfully
still about their methods and modes
adopted by these gentlemen. Sound
ing no note of warning, giving no
advice publicly through their party
press, but winked at the seeming gul
libility of the voting masses; but
now, since defeat is met at their po
litical Waterloo, a cry goes up all
over the land, " I told you so," by
the same party press. And now,
upon the con veiling of Congress, the
first day of the session, ev'en leading
Democrats are eager to put them
selves upon record as being in favor
of Resumption and against inflation ;
in favor of metalic currency and
against any further issue of green
backs, by the introduction of resolu
tion after resolution, declaring that
the Democratic party rejoices in the
business prosperity of the country.
Are satisfied with the currency ques
tion, and do not think it would be
advisable to meddle with the present
system of finances in any way, dur
ing the present session of Congress.
Why, bless your souls, how quickly
you have come to your senses. All
through the last regular session, and
also during the extra session of Con
gress, you talked and voted upon
every occasion against the Republi
can party in regard to the finance
question. And even went so far as
to attempt the decapitation of BayT
aid, the Chairman of the Senate Fi
nance Committee ; but now you ad
mit your former follies, and that the
Republican party was right. Well
that is commendable as far as it
goes. However, it's, a sad reflection
upon your wisdom and will not re
store you to the confidence of the
masses, a result you so devoutly
wish for. Now the die is cast. The
fiat has gone forth. No Democrat
need apply. t
YAQUINA BOOM.
Ed. Gazette: The following ex
tract is from the Daily Oregoniaii's
commercial column:
" The several vessels at hand and on the
berth are filling up with good dispatch, and
there being but few other ships in the
market, it seems that there is some difficul
ty in breaking the market for freight), which
art still held at a high figure."
The italics aie my own, and are
given to show what has occurred
every year since Oregon commenced
shipping grain to Europe and I can
see no stronger plea or argument for
another shipping point, particularly
for Central Oregon. It is asserted
that Eastern Oregon, alone, can load
all tlie vessels en route to the Colum
bia river; and, no one can doubt,
with her facilities for transportation,
that she will do it. And if sor pray,
what will Central Oregon do with
her crop ? Of course she can pa
tiently wait until warehouse charges
and internet on notes eats up the
year's profit. And, truly, this would
be a burden of intolerable weight to
the producer, and a serious obstacle
to the future growth of the Willam
ette, if it was not for the FACT that
within 60 miles of the central part
of the State nature has made a har
bor of sufficient magnitude to offer a
cheap, certain and independent route
for all the outgoing and incoming
trade of the country.
Without desiring to anticipate of
ficial report on this subject, I will
say, that men of observation and
experience, have asserted, and even
testified, that there was NO BAR at
Yaquina Bay, that there was a REEF
across the channel, rising on either
side, confining the water, keeping
the same in certain limited bounds.
This theory has been substantiated
by the never varying direction of
the channel ; the same beacons being
used, the same depth of water re
maining on the reef. When we con
sider that there is no sand spit north
of the Yaquina channel to drift, as
at other points, south with the strong
north winds, causing channels to
shift south, and even till up, and that
there is no sand spit north of Ya
quina channel to drift up the coast
and fill the channel from a southerly
direction, we have every assurance
that this channel is fixed, running
out clear and " well defined," as
Chase has it, west, giving a vessel a
fair wind to enter, from south-east to
north west, as there is 4 to 5 fath
oms up to this reef, and a like depth
found inside as soon as you cross u
We feel confident of obtaining twen
tv feet, or more, at low tide, by con
finin: the waters and blasting out
this obstruction. With seven and
one-tenth feet rise, we have a harbor
deep enough to float any vessel that
now comes to Fort rand.
Several months ago I begged the
people of the valley to arise and
work for Foul weather as affording a
shipping l-oiiit for the central part of
the state, and was pleased o see tne
deep interest manifested. For rea
sons that may never be understood,
Foulweather received but little favor
in the examination made by the
Board of Engineers; so little, indeed,
that my enthusiasm fell with their
departure. Now there is a chance
to regain lost gronnd. With a small
appropriation the farmers of the val
ley can be free to ship to the point
offering the best market i and, with
out repeating arguments fourteen
years old, I ask, in the interest ot a
classes, producer and consumer, land
lord and tenant, to rally and urge,
plead and demand, in the name of
progress, prosperity and general de
velopment and wealth, that Congress
give us the small sum necessary to
complete the little nature has left un
done. The day and hour is propi
tious. The cause, one closely inter
woven with every material interest
of the valley. Let us petition our
members in Congress. Help them
with all our might. Every name is
strength united, it is a power pres
ent condition must and will respect.

AN ARRAY OF QUESTIONS FOR HARD
PANNERS TO ANSA Eft.
Selected.
Friend Demo-Repnblicrats : If green
backs are not mousy, but simply promises
to pay money, why does the secretary of
the treasury enumerate them in each month
ly statement as cash on hand ? A promise
to pay in the hands of the promiser is of no
value. Has not the Republican party
turned to be a pro-slavery, in restricting our
people to a per capita money circulation of
from one-half to one-fifth of what the pau
per nations of Europe have compelling
low prices for labor 1
Don't you really think the war is over ?
And do you not think that sectional animos
ities are studiously aggravated by the lead
ers of the old parties as their only political
stock in trade, in order to keen the voters
from dividing upon the only present live is
sue that of money ? What would national
bank notes be worth if United States bonds
should depreciate fifty per cent.? Must the
government le-coin all her coins at every
change m the market price of metal ? Can
she if she ought ? Would there not be as
much reason in the government of the Uni
ted States delegating to the national banks
the power to coin metals as to authorize them
to issue notes as money, and endorse them ?
Is not all paper money, in circulation above
the coin in the treasury, irredeemable ? The
national banks boast that " the banks can
in any emergency act together at a single
day's notice, and with such power that no
act of congress can overcome or resist their
decision." Is not this conspiracy to fire vent
the execution of the laws, pure treason
against which the army would have ' to en
force subjection to the laws ? Can any law
abiding citizen be justified in advocating
such treasonable doctrine ? Can a note
which is a legal tender for all debts, public
and private, be truthfully called irredeema
ble when it pays for government land, pos
tage stamps, pays taxes, etc.?
You say the greenback, is not money ?
Did we we put down the rebellion without
money, and have we done business for many
years since without money ? If greenbacks
are not money, why do prices so suffer by
its contraction ? Are the Bank of England
notes " honest money," and ore they supe
rior to greenbacks ? Is not a greenback re
ally a government bond ? Why should not
the United States avail itself of a profitable
privilege which it das delegatsd to the na
tional banks, viz : put its bonds in a box
and draw its own interest on them, and also
issue 90 per cent, of their face in " honest
money," based on them, and loan it ?
Will he who favors the present national
banking system be so kind as to answer
this question ? How can national bank
bills, based upon bonds, be any better than
a currency based upon the same basis as the
bonds themselves the nation, and all there
is in it ? This question is unanswerable,
and I defy any hard-pauner to answer it ?
If congress can be entrusted with the war
power, the disposal of the public lands and
the disbursement of thousands of millons of
revenue, with the imposition of taxes, with
the weight and fineness of coins, and the is
sue and control of interest-bearing bonds,
can it not be safely entrusted to issue and
regulate the supply of non-interest bearing
legal tender bonds (greenbacks), especially
as it has never yet broken its self-imposed
promise to issue over $400,000,000 of them,
and as it does not put these into circulation
except by citizens voluntarily baying them,
or, in other words, exchanging services-or
commodities for them ?
Oo men buy more hats than they want ?
When they do, it will be time to say that
hats are inflated. If congress has no power
to issue paper money itself, how can it dele
gates that power to the national banks ? Is
the creature greater than the creator? The
ringmasters who run the Republican party
seem to think that no money is " honest
money " till it poseesses overwhelming pur
chasing power. If purchasing power is a
test of " honesty," who is to look after that
of wheat, com, cloth, leather, etc? Do- we
not need a chance to sell honest productions,
of increased purchasing power, awhile until
our debts are liquidated ? A national bank
bill reads thus : " The national bank
of New York will pay the bearer, on de
mand, one dollar," and a greenback reads
thus: "The United Slates will pay the
bearer one dollar." Is there any difference
between these two promises save that the
banks promise to pay on demand, and the
United States promises to pay at its own
option as to time, not necessarily on de
mand? Pay whut? You say eoin. Do
yon mean that both must pay coin ? Are
not the promises to pay alike ? If one
means coin does not the other ? Has the
United States broken its promises to pay at
its option ? Would it not be payment to
hand ont for the redemption of greenbacks
the same money the banks pay in redeeming
their bills something which the law savs
is a legal tender for ail debts, public and
private ? Should not the creator have the
same privileges as the creature ?
Now, Mr. Hard-panners, it would afford
me a creat deal of pleasure as well r.s in
struction, for yon to answer all the above
?uestions in an intelligent, logical manner,
am aware that we greenbaekers are con
sidered " fiat lunatics," " dishonest money -ites,"
&c, &c, but this being the case it
will be but an easy matter for you ' honest
money" advocates to answer our foolish
questions. I pause for the answers.

From the Daily Statetmar ,
AN OAKLAND EPISODE.
A very extrvirdinary event lately oc
curred in Oakland, which I think will in
terest the Methodistital portion of your
readers, which is neither small nor unimpor
tant, as I well know.
A young man, who was engaged to be
married, proved recreant to his betrothed,
and fell violently in love with a young
woman-of-the-town. His friends did every
thing in their power to cure him of his in
fatuation, but in vain. Not having courage
to marry the young girl, and being still ui -able
to gtve her up, he become frantic, took
poison, and afterwards shot himself. The
girl, hearing the report, ran into the room,
seized the smoking pistol, and likewise shot
herself through the heart, fell, and died be
side her lover.
The relatives and friends of the young
man, who had occupied a respectable sta
tion in society, gave him a demonstrative
burial, aud strewed his grave with flowers ;
and in the- meantime his companion in guilt
and death was lying in the morgue, appar
ently forsaken by all save a few of her frail
companions. She was extremely beautiful
and in death looked like the sculpture of
another Phidias.- As one and another went
into the dismal death-chamber to view the
poor remains, a sentiment went abroad that
while one sinner had been buried with such
demonstrations of love and respect, it was
cruel, inhuman, and unchristian to suffer
the other to be buried like a dog in the
Potter's Field.
Some good Samaritans went to- the Rev.
Thomas Guard, and asked him if he would
not conduct a Christian service over the re
mains of the poor outcast, and he did so
without a moment's hesitation. There came
more than two thousand people to the
M. E. church, where Dr. Guard preached
the most eloquent sermon ever heard in that
city, and seemed to electrify the vast
throng, who were wrought up to the highest
tension of, sympathetic excitement. I doubt
whether such another scene was ever beheld
in this country, and I do not think any
other has been more exciting and pathetic
since the drama of Jairus' daughter.
The foregoing will explain the ensuing
letter :
BEAUTY. IN RUINS.
I never felt so warm a seutiment towards
the people of Oakland as I did when read
ing in the Times about the extraordinary ob
sequies of the poor, outcast sui ide. It Was
a brave thing to do, but it was gloriously
done, yet, hardly so much as Christ did. If
Torn Hood had been there, it would have
spoiled the pathos of hi3 heart breaking
dirge. I should have expected as much ot
the splendid and magnanimous Dr. Guard,
whom the Methodists of Oakland will be
gin to approbate and lament, after the in
exorable ordinances of their church shall
have taken him away to shine in the bright
est constellation of Methodism in Baltimore
or some other focus of Christian enlighten
ment; but I hardly thought the people
would do and dare so splendidly so like
the Son of God. Nevertheless, when I read
that the pathetic clay, " fashioned so slen
derly," was lying in such melancholy ap
peal at the Morgue, I thought perhaps the
ice would break presently, and that the
pent up fountains of mercy would overflow.
How Colonel Baker would have shivered
thaf obdurate, Horeh-rock by one tremen
dous lightning glance: l Here 13 not in all
this earth a creature so forsaken of man, so
afraid of God, so hunted. to cities of refugp.
that I could not find a heart to pity, and a
tongue to soeak in her defense, though
around her head all the waves of public
opiuion should rage and roar and roll, as the
ocean rolls round the rock.
God forgive me, if I have not quoted that
great saying iust right. It is twentv-three
years since I heard it spoken, and thought
the Wood had trozen in my veins.
Or. Guards maledictions on the destroy
er of the hapless girl remind me - of a pas
sage written by some conscience-stricken
sinner, and published in a Cincinnati paper
twenty-tie years ago :
" The voice of a woman forever
Runs .sobbing alter my soul.
Day or night, night or day, I can never
Escape its mournful control.
Its moaning, musical dole
Pursues me fovever and ever.
Oh ! what If that voice be immortal ,
And where the blisses begin,
Shall come and welcome me in
With joy to the heavenly portal ? "
It is not true that good women are obdu
rate and cruel to their erring sisters ; it is
not true that women, in general, are natur
ally so. But a great many good women, as
well as men, lack moral courage ; and it re
quires a bold heart and a steady eye to en
counter the forbidding gaze of society.
There- are five thousand women in Oakland
who would have taken that poor girl into
their houses to die, if they had dared if
there had been no other spectator than God.
But it is not long since that variety of hu
man dust was denied Christian burial, and
since the bodies of suicides were staked
down in their graves. Give the whirligig of
time a little longer to revolve, and a good
many of our existing inhumanities will have
disappeared.
A few more incidents like the burial of
the outcast girl would put a stop to Bob In
gersoll'B accursed ribaldry about the unchar
ity of Christian people. What must be the
depravity of mercenary wretch, who, for
a pitiful half-dollar, dropped into his beg
garly hat, would undermine and destroy the
faith of a tottering old man, and turn him
out on the crumbling verge of Time, with
nowhere to go beyond the grave ? When I
heard the Atheist-reviler at Dietz Hall, poi
soning the hearts of the throng of young
men and women, and listened to his cut and
dried highfalutin, which some call elo
quence, 1 wanted a dead cat to throw at
him, in testimony of my critical esteem.
After forty years of wandering in the
wilderness of sin I have come to the conclu
sion that, after all, the moral forces of
Christian people are the controlling powers
of society, aud that the young man who ar
rays himself against that momentous and
irresistible force, is a fool. I am, therofbre,
rejoiced to hear that the most eloquent cler
gyman in all California voluntarily went
dewn into the ghostly twilight of the Pot
ter's Field and gave Christian sepulture to
the pathetic dust which had been purged of
all nncleanness by the awful baptism of mis
ery and death. C. B. MacDonald.

FROM PORTLAND.
Portland, Dec 1, 1879
Ed. Gazette : As we write this date; the
inclination comes strong to moralize' a little:
We are commencing the last month of the
decade. The 70's will soon be a thing of
the past, and 1880 a living present. How
the years roll by. It seems only yesterday
since we were writing '69 ; and yet another
ten years have been added to our lives ; and
we who are living are ten year3 nearer the
narrow home appointed for all the living,
than we were then.- And yet, if we have
within us the consciousness of duty well
performed, the passing years will have no
pang, but will light up the pathway as we go-
down the declivity of life toward its sunset,
with a halo bright, beautiful and well pleas--ing.
The decade just going out, marks a new
era for Oregon. She has thrown off the
garb of youth, and assumed a place which
has brought her to the notice and respect of
the world. Our products are attracting the
attention of the whole world, and the inter
nal improvements now being made, are the
sure harbingers that in a few years she will
b3 united with the Eastern states by bands
of steel, and covered with a network of con
necting railroads.
THE GROWTH OF PORTLAND.
I have not at hand any statistics of the
actual growth of Portland during this year,
but comparing it with the improvements
last year, the number of buildings erected
will not fall much short of one thousand,
a id yet there are but few empty houses or
stores. From this your readers can form
some idea of the steady and rapid growth
of the city. Real estate is quite brisk and
prices have very largely advanced since the
commencement of the year.
The progress of the state is, I believe,
fully equal, proportionately, to that of the
city. The next census will surprise even
the most sanguine as to our population.
COURTS, ETC.
Judge Bellinger closed the October term
of the circuit court Saturday, having to go
to Oregon City to try the Hagar murderers
n Monday. This leaves a large amount of
equity business undisposed of. The Judge
has labored incessantly during the term to
advance the business, but there is a limit to
human capacity, and there is too much busi
ness for one man to do. This district will
have to be divided. Multnomah county alone
furnishes enough business for one judge.
Akin to this topic of courts, I have heard
considerable said lately, concerning the
election of Supreme Judges, next year. It
is a question in which every citizen of the
state is vitally interested. Upon the integ
rity, learning and ability of the judges of
the courts of the state depend largely the
security of person and property. A cor
rupt or ignorant judiciary can do more to
unsettle the confidence of people in their
rights of personal liberty and property, and
to impair the fair fame" and credit of our
state abroad, than most men are aware, at
fist thought. I should like to vote for Re
publican judges, but I had very much rath
er support incorruptible and able ones.
Politics should be a matter of secondary
importance in ths selection of these officials.
And I hope that in the selection of candi
dates for these positions, that the J eff,erson
ian qualifications honest and capable will
be applied, rather than a particular accent
of any party shibboleth.
POLITICAL.
Some few persons who seek to rule the
Republican party seem to wish for a renew
al of the differences that have divided the
Republican party in this state in the past
As a Kepubhcan, I am very sorry to see
this. With the party united, Oregon is as
surely Republican as any one of her sister
hood of states. As a result 01 divisions 111
the party, we now have a Democratic rep
resentation in congress, which is solid for
the solid South, led by the rebel brigadiers,
and ready to vote for any measure which
may be demanded bv those rebels. There
is still quite enough of the Democratic par
ty, with its schemes of repudiation, its wild
financial theories, and shot-gun policy, to
engage the united opposition of the Repub
lican ranks. And however much I may
have differed with some, yet if they are de
sirous of now casting their votes with the
Republican party in its great struggle for
national supremacy in 1880, I give them a
friendly greeting and a brotherly welcome
in the ranks of to-day. Any attempt at
proscription in the Republican ranks is po
litical suicide of the most foolish kind.
ETC., ETC.
There are two Chinese now in ?ail under
sentence of death. Ah Lee applies for ex
ecutive clemency because his partner in
crime was found guilty of only musder in
the second degree ; and Wong Fook applies
on tne ground that Ah Lee has asked for
pardon, when he claims that his crime was
not so great as Ah Lee's. But thinking
people rather regard this matter with the
idea that if these Chinese are pardoned,
poor white men can be hung while rich
Chinamen can't.
An interesting case of attempted bribery
was tried in the circuit court the other day,
in the case of the State vs John A. Carr.
He was accused of attempting to bribe a
councilman in the choice of a police com
missioner, and while there was good deal
of testimony showing " something rotten;"
yet he was acquitted on technical grounds.
The go-between, who appeared on the wit
ness stand, seemed the guiltier of the two.
Hon. J. H. Mitchell is a passenger on
the incoming steamer, from an extended
trip to Washington.
H. W. Scott, of the Oregonian, is off on a
trip east, to attend the meeting of the Na
tional Republican Committee, He will be
absent about six weeks.
Rev. L. A. Banks, who; if I mistake not,
was a former resident of your city, preached
the thanksgiving sermon at the union meet
in this city, Thursday. He is making hosts
of friends in Portland by his eloquent
Dreaching. MORE ANON.
Sheriff's Sale.
BY VIRTUE OF AN EXECUTION ISSUED OUT
of and under the seal of the Circuit Court of the
State of Oregon for the County ot Benton, to me di
rected and delivered, on the 5th day of December, A
D. 1879, for the sum of (232.73-100) two hundred and
eighty-two and 73-100 dollars, with interest at one
per cent, per month from Nov. 29, 1876, and the fur
ther sum of (915. 50) fifteen and 50-100 dollars costs,
in favor of Thomas K. McCoy, administrator of the es
tate of John H. Kendoll, deceased, plaintiff, and
against Wm. A. Rldenour, defendant, and for want of
Eersonal property out of which to satisfy the same, I
ave levied upon the following described real estate,
to-wit : Beginning at a point in the middle of the
Territorial road, and on the north line of land claim

making, blood-cleansing, and life-sustaining'
elements. It is the purest, safest, and h
every way the most effectual alterative medi
cine known or available to the. public. The
sciences of medicine and chemistry have
never produced so valuable a remedy, nor
one so- potent to euro all discuses resulting'
from impure blood . It cures Scrofula, and
all scrofulous diseases, Krysipelas, Rose,,
or St. Anthony's Fire, Pimples and

General Debility.
By its searching and cleansing qualities
it purges out the foul corrtrptions which
contaminate the blood, and cause derange
ment and decay. It stimulates and enlivens
the vital functions. It promotes energy and
strength. It restores and preserves health.
It infuses new life and vigor throughout the
whole system. No sufferer from any diseaso'
which arises from impurity of the blood need
despair, who will give Ayek's Sarsaparilla
a fair trial. Rememher, the earlier the
trial, the speedier the cure.
Its recipe has been furnished to physicians
everywhere; and they, recognizing its supe
rior qualities, administer it in their practice
For nearly forty years Ayer's Sarsapa--rill
a has been widely used, and it now posv
sesses the confidence of millions of people
who have experienced benefits from ita mar
vellous curative virtues.
