a gentle and pleasant Purgative, it is superior to Blue Lick, and Congress Water, Salts or 
Seidlilz Powders. 
It is a remarkable fact that among the hundreds of eminent physicians who have examined 
the recipe by which Bull’s Sarsaparilla is prepared, not one has condemned it, but all approved 
it, and commend it in the highest terms. Many physicians express themselves strongly in the 
belief that it is decidedly the best preparation of Sarsaparilla that has ever been placed before, 
the public. Although there are many physicians who feel a reluctance to having their names 
appended to the recommendation of any particular remedy, notwithstanding they may approve 
of it in the highest degree, there are others who frankly yield their support in favor of a reme- 
dy which they know is capable of doing so much good in arr afflicted community. As an evi- 
dence, read the following from old and respectable physicians, of high standing in the commu- 
nity in which they live ;

Testimony like the following renders superfluous all comments the efficacy ef Bull’s Sar- 
saparilla. From Dr. L. P. Yandell, Professor of Chemistry in the Louisville Medical College; 
I have looked over the list of ingredients composing John Bull’s Compound Extract of Sar- 
saparilla, and have no hesitation in saying that they form a safe compound, and one that promi- 
ses well in Chronic diseases to which it is applicable.

Sarsaparilla : 
Louisville, March 20, 1349. 
I have examined the prescription for the preparation of John Bull’s Sarsaparilla, and I be- 
lieve the combination to be an excellent one, and well calculated to produce an alterative im- 
pression on the system. I have used it both in public and private practice, and think it the 
best article of Sarsaparilla now in use. M. PYLES, M. D.

Loudon, Ky., April 25th, 1850. * 
Sir,—Permit me to address to you a few lines. 
I am a graduate of Transylvania Medical University: I have practised medicine in this 
wilderness country about five years, but owing to exposure to bitter cold weather, I have been 
indisposed with acute Rheumatism about six months. After having exhausted my skill in 
the treatment of my case, and derived no benefit, I was induced to give your Fluid Extract 
of Sarsaparilla a fair trial, and accordingly purchased a bottle of your medicine from your 
agent, Mr. George P. Brown, about two weeks ago, and I must confess that one bottle has 
entirely cured me. 
It is my opinion that your preparation of Sarsaparilla is decidedly superior to any other pre- 
paration now in use, and I will take great pleasure in recommending it to the afflicted as being 
a remedial agent, and I will advise the physicians to use it in their practice, 
Respectfully yours, B. B. ALLEN, M.D. 
Louisville, July 13th, 1840. 
I have examined the list of articles that compose John Bull’s Extract of Sarsaparilla, and I 
have no hesitation in saying that it is a safe and valuable compound. I would prefer it to any 
article now in use, for the diseases arising from an impure state of the blood or taint of the 
system. I confidently recommend it to my friends as being a powerful Extract, and one that I 
believe will cure all classes of diseases for which it is recommended, if used according to direc- 
tions. I believe it to be a valuable succedaneum to mercury. Nay, I have my doubts whether 
in tne most violent and-protracted cases of Syphilis, accompanied with Nodes Trophe, in caries 
of the bones, whether it ought not to succeed every other remedy.

Average of Life.—The average length of human life throughout the world is esti- 
mated at 33 years. One-quarter die previous to the age of seven years, and one-half 
before the age of seventeen. Of every 1000 persons, only one reaches the age of 100 
years; of every 100, only six reach the age of seventy; and not more than one in 500 
lives to eighty years. 
There are 248 bone* in the human frame—14 in the face, 32 teeth, 24 make 
up the ribs, 16 in the wrists, 38 in the hands, 14 in the ankles, 38 in the feet: the rest 
are distributed in other parts of the body. 
He has imbibed a great error who imagines that the chief power of wealth is to 
supply wants. In ninety-nine cases out of a hundred, it creates more wants than it sup-

CAUSES, SYMPTOMS, AND CURE OP CONSUMPTION. 
Pneumonia, or Inflammation of the Lungs.—This disease is one of the chief causes of con- 
sumption, and, as it effects an organ which is absolutely necessary to life, it must always be 
attended with much danger unless properly treated. It is more generally fatal to those who 
have a flat, narrow chest, and to such as are afflicted with asthma, especially in the decline of 
life. Sometimes the inflammation reaches to one lobe of the lungs only ; at other times the 
whole of the organ is affected. When the disease proceeds from a viscid, pituitous matter, 
obstructing the vessels of the lungs, it is a thin acid defluxion on the lungs, and is denominated 
a catarrhal pneumonia. 
An inflammation of the lungs is sometimes a primary disease, and sometimes it is the con- 
sequence of obstructed perspiration from colds, wet clothes, &c , or from an increased circulation 
of the blood, by violent exercise, the use of spices, ardent spirits, &c. 
The patient, at the beginning, is cold and hot by turns, has a small quick pulse, feels a sense 
of weight and pain across the breast, breathes with difficulty, and sometimes complains of a 
pain and giddiness of his head ; his urine is unusually pale, and his color very little changed. 
In cases of pneumonia, the Balsam of Wild Cherry and Iceland Moss possesses a wonderful 
healincr and renovating power. It removes all pain, irritation,, and difficulty of breathing, warms 
and animates the functions of the pulmonary organs, allays all inflammation and fever, induces 
easy and profuse expectoration, and frequently, in a few hours, restores the lungs to a healthy 
and vigorous condition It is exceedingly pleasant and agreeable to the taste, and perfectly 
salutary in all its effects upon the system. 
Phthisis, or Pulmonary Consumption.—Consumption is a wasting of the whole body from 
ulcers, tubercles, or concretions of the lungs, anemdyeuma, a nervous atrophy, or a cachexy. 
It was stated by Dr. Arbuthnot, in his time, that consumption made up above one-tenth part of 
the bills of mortality in and about London ; and we know that it has greatly increased. 
Consumptions prevail more in England than in any other part of the world, owing, perhaps, 
to the excessive use of animal food and malt liquors, the general application to sedentary em- 
ployments, and the great quantity of pit-coal which is burnt; to which we may add the per- 
petual variableness of the weather. 
The causes of pulmonary consumption are numerous. An inflammation of the lungs often 
ends in an imposthunre, or ulcer; consequently, whatever disposes people to this disease, must 
likewise be considered as a cause of consumption. Other diseases, by vitiating the habit, may 
likewise occasion consumptions, as the scurvy, the scrofula, small-pox, measles, &c. Also, 
unwholesome air, violent passions, exertions, or affections of the mind ; great evacuations, as 
sweating, diarrhoea, diabetes ; the sudden stoppage of customary evacuations, as bleeding piles, 
sweating of the feet, issues or ulcers of any kind 
Frequent and excessive debaucheries, late watching, and drinking strong liquors, can hardly 
fail to destroy the lungs. 
Consumptions are likewise caught by sleeping with the diseased ; therefore they should be 
carefully avoided 
Occupations in life have much influence in producing it. Persons who sit much, and are 
constantly leaning forward, or pressing upon the stomach and heart, as tailors, shoemakers, 
seamstresses, &c., often die of consumption. Workmen in factories are more subject to it than 
any other class of people. Luxury, want of exercise, excesses of all kinds, saline and aromatic 
aliments, and every thing which tends to heat and inflame the blood, and relax the system, pre- 
disposes to consumptions. It is also frequently the effect of hereditary taint, or a scrofulous 
habit. . * . 
But the great cause of consumption is a common cold. More consumptive patients date the 
beginning of their disorders from wet feet, damp beds, night air, wret clothes, or catching cold 
after the body has been heated, than from all other causes combined. 
Consumption generally begins with a dry cough, which often continues several months. * If 
a disposition to vomit after eating be excited by it, there is still greater reason to fear ap- 
proaching consumption. The patient complains of a more than usual degree of heat, a pain 
and oppression of the breast, especially after exercise ; his spittle is of a brackish taste, and 
sometimes mixed with blood ; he is apt to be sad, his appetite is bad, and his thirst is great. 
These are the coTnmon symptoms of a beginning of consumption. Afterwards the patient 
begins to spit a greenish, white or bloody matter. His body is attenuated by the hectic fever, 
and colliquative sweats, which- mutually succeed each other, viz. : the one towards night, and 
the other in the morning ; a looseness and an excessive discharge of urine are troublesome 
symptoms at this time, and greatly weaken the patient. There is a burning heat in the palms 
of the hands, and the face generally flushes after eating; the fingers become remarkably small, 
the nails are bent inwards, and the hair falls off At last, the swelling of the feet and legs, the 
total loss of strength, the difficulty of swallowing, and the coldness of the extremities, show 
the approach of death, which, however, the patient seldom believes to be near. f* 
Such is the usual progress of this dreadful malady, which, if not checked at an early stage, 
has hitherto set all medicine at defiance. [Continued on next page.
