      OLD DR . JACOB TOWNSEND'S rjENUINE ORIGINAL UNITED STATES \ J SARSAPARILLA—In submitting this Sarsaparilla to the People of England , we have been influenced by the same motives which dictated its promulgation in America . This Compound Sarsaparilla of Old Dr . Townsend has nothing in con mon with preparations bearing the name in England or America . Prepared by one of the noblest American Che « ni 9 t « , having the approbation of a great and respectable body of American PhysicianB 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 Kennedy . Living , as it were , amid sickness and disease , and studying its multitudinous phases and manifestations in Hospitals , Asylums , and at the bedside of the sick , 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 food , and enters into the circulation as the nutriment part of Our aliment does . 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 this way it is that thi 8 medicine is conveyed to the liver , where it allays inflammation , or relieves congestion , removes obstructions , cleanses and heal 3 abscesses , dissolves gummy or thickened bile , and excites healthy secretions . In this way , also , is this medicine conducted to the lungs , where it assuages 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 . 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 sub-Stance 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 ; parencbymatous 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 sy 8 tem ; 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 system 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 , chicken or kine pox , superficial ulcers , boils , carbuncles , Erur itus or itch , eruptions , blotches , excoriations , and itching , urning sore 3 over the face , forehead , and breast . When

      all the circulating , digestive , nutritive , and secreting organsfrom th » head to the feet , from the centre to the skin or the circumference—so it arouses a pure and healthy action throughout the whole economy—cleanses it of morbid matter strengthens weak organs , throws off burdens and obstructions which load and oppress it , and imparts vitality to every minute part of the whole structure . Iis virtue is unsurpassed—its success unequalled—and its praises are echoed from all parts of the land . POMEROYS , ANDREWS , and CO ., Sole Proprietors .

      PRICE ONE PENNY . THE CHEAPEST FAMILY MAGAZINE IN THE WORLD . Published Weekly , in demy 8 vo ., Twelve Pages , and in Monthly Parts and Volumes . TALES OF ALL NATIONS : FORMING A LIBRARY OF ILLUSTRATIVE ROMANCE . The love of Romance and the desire to be acquainted with the deeds of other nations and other times , the interest with which , we hear of the habits and customs , the thoughts am ) opinions of those who can only be known to us through the medium of others , are among the chief reasons of the popularity of Tales and Personal Narratives . The glowing regions of pure ficiion pall upon the taste . Unsupported by probability , the most poetic flights of fancy become insipid : while Tales which are the results of travel and founded on realities will never cease to attract while there is a thought to be expressed , or any place or custom to be described . The period when ALL THE NATIONS OF THE EAltTH would find a temporary home amongst us appeared peculiarly the time to commence the " Tales of all Nations , " in the pages of which are described the rise and progress , the homes and habits , the thoughts and sentiments , the domestic life and social conditions of our interesting- visitors . Nor will the interest of these Tales be confined to this period . Containing Tales of ancient as well as modern times , of ages glowing with chivalry and romance , as well as treating' of the more sombre realities of the present , they will exhibit the manners and customs of people in every era of the world , and form a PKRMAMENT LIBRARY OF ILLUSTRATIVE ROMANCE . Each Tale will be completed in from two to three or four numbers . The thrilling' interest of the whole uill be thus concentrated , while the most striking'and interesting points will be ILLUSTRATED BYSPIKITED ENGRAVINGS . Nos . 1 , 2 , 3 , contain " The Crimes of the Rich and the Poor , " " The Will , " " The Black Ot , " " The Forgerj . " Read " THE BLACK CAT , " the most astounding' tale of the day .

      mind . When to the eyes , ophthalmia ; to the ears , ottorrhoaa ; to the throat , bronchitis , croup , &c . Thus all the maladies known to the human system are induced by a corrupt state of the blood . With no general remedy on which implicit reliance can be placed as a puriher of the blood , disease and suffering , and consequent want , tstalk unchecked and 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 for fresh , it becomes a mass of corruption , and a malignant enemy to the living fluids and solids . If the blood stagnate ? it spoils ; if the bile does not pass off , and give place to fresh , it rots ; if the urine is retained it ruins body and blood . The whole system , every secretion , every function , every fluid depend lor their health upon action , circulation , change , giving and receiving—and the moment theuo cease disease , decay , und death begin . In thus tracing the causes and manifentations of disease , we
