OLD Dr. JACOB TOWNSEND’S SARSAPARILLA. r piIERE . arc three principal avenues by r -*■ whfcjlrNature expels from the body what is necessary should be expelled therefrom. These three are the Stool, the Urine, and the Pores. These MUST be kept in a healthy condition, or disease is certain. THIS u A i'ikE'D AND POSITIVE LAW; and no human being can safely disregard it. In addition to this, the Liver must be kept in order. THE LIVER is the LARGEST ORGAN in the Body, and as some of the most important functions to fulfil. It regulates the Bile, and consequently the digestion and the bowels. The stomach must be invigorated and made healthy. Added to all this, the strength and tone of the system must be kept up by proper nourishment, exercise, and rest. THESE ARE PLAIN AND SIMPLE LAWS, And when they all work harmoniously, a person is in sound health. This position will not be questioned. when the system is diseased, it is the first grand object to set all these functions at work, both to expel Disease, and to restore the Health, The bowels must be opened, cleansed, soothed, and strengthened : the urine must be made to flow healthfully and naturally, and to throw off the impurities of the blood ; the liver and stomach must be regulated ; and above all the PORES must be opened, and the skin made healthy. These things done, and nature will go to her work ; and ruddy health will sit smiling upon the check ; and Life will be again a Luxury. We will suppose the case of a person afflicted with a bilious complaint. His head aches, his appetite is poor, his bones and back ache, he is weak and nervous, his complexion is yellow, the skin dry, and his tongue furred. He goes to a doctor for relief, and is given a dose of medicine to purge him freely. He takes it, and it operates profusely and he gets some temporary relief. But he is not Cured I In a few days the same symptoms return, and the same old purge is administered ; and so on, until the poor man becomes a martyr to heavy, drastic purgatives. Now, what would be the TRUE PRACTICE

in such a case ? What the practice that nature herself points out ? Why, to set in healthy operation ALL the means that Nature possesses to throw out of the system the causes of disease. The bowels must of course be evacuated, but the work is but begun at thiis stage of the business. The kidneys must be prompted to do their work, for they have a most important work to do ; the stomach must be cleansed; and above al! the pores must be relieved and enabled ta throw off the secretions which ought to pass off thyjngh them. We repeat that by The Bowels—the Urine—the Pores, the disease must be expelled from the system, and not by the bowels alope, as is the usual practice. And to effect all this, a Medicine of no ordinary kind will answer the purpose. Resort must be had to a remedy that is congenial to the human system, a remedy that strengthens while it subdues disease. Such is the remedy found in OZd Dr. Jacob Townsend's American Sarsaparilla and Pills. They will cleanse and invigorate the stomach; freely purge the bowels; make the urine to flow healthily and clear ; open the pores; give a pleasant temperature and tone to the skin, and do all this in the gentlest manner, without doing violence to the system. The Creator has laid down certain fixed and immutable laws, which govern both the physical and moral man. One of these is, that every thing that lives shall TAKE FOOD OR DIE. Whatever is endowed with life, must have that life supplied with the elements which sustain it. Deprived of a proper amount of nutrition, and the body languishes and dies. It is upon this principle that sickness induces an abnormal condition of the system, and then medicine becomes as necessary as food- The question arises, TT7i(zZ is the right kind f Medicine?

Reason and Science reply, That which gives back to the body the natural and healthy use of its functions. This Medicine is found in Old Dr. Jacob Townsend’s Sarsaparilla. AT NO SEASON OF THE YEAR is a person’s system so open to the assaults of disease as in the Spring and Fali seasons. Every person undergoes certain changes with the season, and when Spring succeeds the Winter, the body is encumbered with a load of impurities, which will generate disease unless speedily removed. The blood moves sluggishly along, being black and thick, with humours and decayed matter, the stomach is gorged with bile, while costiveness on the one hand, and great looseness on the other, prevail, and the body is ready to sink under disease. To meet this condition things, resort must be had to medicine that will PURIFY THE BLOOD, and, at the same time, impart energy, vigour, and new life to the whole physical machinery.
