OLD Dtt . J . VCOP . TOWNSKND ' s GENUINE ORIGINAL UNITED STATES ' 8 ABSAPAKILLA In submitting this Sarsaparilla to the People of England , we have been influenced by the same motive * which dictated its promulgation in America .. This Compound Sarsaparilla of Old Dr . Townsend has notMng in eon . mon with preparations bearing the name in England or America . Prepared by one of the noblest American Chemists , having- the approbation of a great and respectable body of American Ph ysiciant and Druggist * , universally adopted by the American people , and forming a compound of all the rarest medicinal roots , seeds , plants , and flowers that grow on American soil , it it may truly be called the Great and Good American Bemedy . Living . as it were , amid sickness and disease , and studying ^ multitudinous phases and manifestations in Hospitals , Asylums , and at the bedside of the 8 ick , for more than 40 years , Dr . Townsend was qualified , above all other men , to prepare a medicine which should perform a greater amount of good than any other man now living . When received into the stomach it is digested like the fnoti , and enters into the circulation as the nutriment part of our aliment doe * . Its first remedial action is upon the blood , and through that upon every part where it is needed . It is in this way that this medicine supplies the blood with constituents which it needs , and removes that which it does not need . In this way it purifies the blood of excess of bile , acids , and alkalies , of pus , of all foreign and morbid matter , and brings it into a healthy condition . In this way it quickens or moderates the circulation , producing coolness , warmth , or perspiration . In vhis way it is that this medicine is conveyed to the liver , where it allays inflammation , or relieves congestion , removes obstructions , cleanses and heals abscesses , dissolves gummy or thickened bile , and excites healthy secretions . In this way , also , is this medicine conducted to the lungs , where it assuage ? inflammation , allays irritation , relieves cough , promotes expectoration , dissolves tubercles , and heals ulcerations . 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 glandular and lymphatic system , on the joints , bones , and the skin . Jt is by cleansing , enriching , and purifying the blood that old Dr . Townsend'a 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 th « ir 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 ; parenchymatous 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 tlie 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 tfre 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 , chicken or kine pox , superficial ulcers , boils , carbuncles , pruritus or itch , eruptions , blotches , excoriations , and itching ' , burning sorea over the face , forehead , and breast , 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 nnd other sad disorders of the blaJder . When carried to the bones , the morbid mutter destroys the animal and earthy substances of these tissues , producing necrosis , i . e ., decay or ulceialien of the bones . When conveyed to the liver , all forms of hepatic or bilious diseases are produced . When to the lungs , it produces pneumonia , catarrh , asthma , tubercles , cough , expectoration , and final consumption . When to the stomach , the effects are inflammation , indigestion , » ick headache , vomiting , loss of tone and appetite , and u fainting , sinking sensation , bringing troubles and disorders of the whole system . When it seizes upon the brain , spinal marrow or nervous system , it brings on the tic doloreux , or neuralgia , chorea , or St . Vitiut' dance , hysteria , palsy , epilepsy , insanity , idiocy , and many other distressing ailments both of body and mind . When to the eyes , ophthalmia ; to the ears , ottoirheB . i ; to the throat , bronchitis , croup , &c . Thus nil the uialadien known to the human system are induced by a corrupt state of the blood . With no general remedy on which implicit reliance cau be placed as a purifier of the blood , disease and xuifering , and consequent want , utalk unchecked atid unsubdued in every land in all the world . If there is arrest of action in any of the viscera , immediately they begin to decay ; if any fluid ceases to circulate , or to be changed lor fresh , it becomes a maun of corruption , nnd a malignant enemy to the living fluids and solids . If the blood Htaguatee it spoil * ; if the bile does not past ) off , and f ive place tn fresh , it rots ; it Die urine id retained it mint ) body and blood . The whole system , every Hecretion , every function , « very fluid depend lor their health upon action , circulation , change , givingand receiving—and th « moment these ceane disease , decay , and death begin . InthiiH tracing the causes and manifest ationu of diHease , we Bee how wonderful anil myntci ions are t lie wayH of 1 ' rovidenee in ad . tplin < r the relation ? of cause and effect , of action and rcaelion , of life ami death .

Renal ( or the kidneys ) , indicates , have in many instances effected a cure when all other means had failed , and are now established by universal consent ,- as the most safe and efficacious remedy ever discovered for discharges of any kind , retention of urine , and diseases of the kidneys and urinary organs generally , whether resulting from imprudence or otherwise , which , if neglected , frequently end in stone in the bladder , and a lingeringdeath . For gout , eciatica . rheumatism , tic doloreux , erysipelas , dropsy , scrofula , loss of hair and teeth , depression of spirits , blushing , incapacity for society , study , or business , giddiness , drowsiness , sleep without refreshment , nervousness , and even insaniiy itself , when ( as is often the case ) arising from or combined with urinary diseases , they are unequalled . By their salutary action on acidity of the stomach they correct bile and indigestion , purify and promote the renal secretions , thereby preventing the formation of Btone , and establishing for life the healthy functions of all these organB .

HOMCEOPA T H Y . —All the Homceopatliic Medicines , in Globules , Tinctuies , and Trituration , are prepared with the greatest care and accuracy by JOHN MAVVSON , Homoeopathic Chemist , 4 , Hood-street , Newcastleon-Tyne ; and ( JO , Fawcett-street , Sunderland ; from whom they may be obtained , in single tubes , neat pocket cases , and boxes , suitable for families and the profession . " Laurie ' s" and ail other works on Homoeopathy , together with cases and tubes , sent post-free to all parts of the kingdom . Dispensaries and the profession supplied on liberal terms . Just published , and may be had Iree of charge , a small pamphlet on Homoeopathy , by J . Silk Buckingham , Esq . MAWSON'S HOMOEOPATHIC COCOA . —The Cocoa-nut , or nib . contains a very large proportion of nutritive matter , consisting of a farinaceous substance , and of a rich and pleasant oil . This oil is esteemed on account of its bein ^ less liable than any other oil to rancidity . Homoeopathic physicians are united in their recommendation of cocoa as a beverage ; and the testimonials from other sources are numerous and of the highest character . It was so highly esteemed by Linnaeus , the chief of Naturalists , that he named it Theobroina — " Food for the Gods . " Dr . Farciia says , it is a very nourishing beverage , devoid of the ill properties possessed by both tea and coffee . " Dr . Epps , the popular lecturer on Physiology , says : — " Mothers , while suckling , should never take Coffee ; they should suckle on Cocoa . I have the testimony of mothers who have so suckled , and they state that they found , with Cocoa without Beer , they produced quite sufficient milk , and the children suckled with su-h diet were in better health than those suckled on a previous occasion , when Beer , nnd Coffee , and Tea formed the liquid part of their diet . " The same author adds : — " Cocoa is the best of all flavoured - ' rinks . It is highly nutritious . " Dr . Hooper says : - This food is admirably calculated for the sick , and to those who are in health it is a luxury . " Many persons have been turned against the use of Cocoa nnd Chocolate from having tried the many , and very generally inferior article vended at the grocers' shop 3 under that n . me . The preparation here offer , d by JOHN MAWSON contains all the nutritious properties of the nut without any objectionable admixture . It is , therefore , recommended ad an agreeable and wholesome substitute for Coffee , to which it is certainly much superior , as it is also to the Cocoas sold as "Soluble < ocoa , " " Flake Cocoa , " &c . It is light , easy of digestion , agreeable , nutritious , and requires little time or trouble in preparing for use . Testimonial— " Having used the Homoeopathic Cocoa prepared by Mr . Mawson , I have no hesitation in giving it my fullest recommendation . "—Thomas Hayle , M . D .
