The Contrast.-—On the 1st of Feb-
ruary, 1853, no city in the world present-
ed so remarkable an appearance as ours,
or seemed more calculated to gratify our
pride, or satisfy our ambition. Starling
from the Levee the eye could take in, at
one unbroken view, from the deck of one
of our magnificent Wes ern steamers, more
who cannot eat a water cracker without acute dis-
tress. Beware of drugged imitations. Pepsin is
no a drug.
Half a teaspoonful of Pepsin infused in water,
will digest or dissolve five pounds of Roast Beef in
about two hours, put of the stomach.
SCIENTIFIC EVIDENCE.
The scientific evidence upon which this remedy
is based is in the highest degtee curious and re-
markable.
Call on the Agent, and get a Descriptive circular,
gratis, giving a large amount of Scientific Evidence
from Liebig’s Animal Chemistry: Dr. Combe’s
Physiology of Digestion ; Dr. Pereira on Food and
Diet; Dr. John VV. Draper, of New Ybrk Univer-

Dr. John Bull: Dear Sir—The two jloxen of your Sarsa-
parilla, ordvn>d in September, came to liand, and, in ac-
knowledging the receipt of the same, I feel I would be
doing you injustice to withhold the following, among the
many of the instances that have come under my observa-

chased another bottle, stating tbe first had had a decidedly

Dr. Jotm Bull: Dear Sir—I have sam the most marvel-
lous eure of one of my patients, by y»ur valuable medicine
—an old lady, who had been afflicted from her childhood
with scrofula, and various diseases of the brain. 8he wm
sixty years old. It bad run into something like lepreey,
and she was the most frightful creature my eyee ever
beheld. I called in Dr. McFaddten, a Yen fine phyrician.
to consult with me in relation to h«r. we camo to the
conclusion that it wm out of our power to relieve her; but,
on going to my oflbee, I accidentally picked up one of your
Journafi, when, on seeing the wonderfsl cure* your Bmm-
parilln had effected, I resolved to try the experiment In this
ease. I took her two bottles of it, after taking which I
perceived a great change. I took has amne mere. She is
now taking tbe sixth bottle, and I ccMider her entirely
cured I take great pl assure in recommending your Sar-
saparilla to the afflicted public.

I, Thomas A. Rtoge. of Graves Co., Ky., for the benefit
Of mankind generally, do hereby certify, that on or about
tbe 16th day of October, 1847, j wm ^tacked with a very
severe pain in th* lower part which lasted
but a few minutes, apd moved into tbe hit hip, and con-
tinoed exeec^ngly paintui fcK about fire days, dunng
which lime I had a Very light fever. At the end of that
time the fever cessed, and Che pain abtted fora day or two,
aftef which it again returned, and wae much worse than
before. During all thia time I wm under medical treat-
ment. From a short time after I was token, I was unable '
to walk or ait up; the hip in which tke pain wm ao bad
commenced rising, until some time ia January, when it
burst, and a number of pieces of bom came out—as many
M twenty, at least. Some of the pieces were three-fourths
of an inch long. Some time after this, a hard knot ap-
peared on my right hip, also one on my right wrist, and
one on my leg, below my knee. I confinued to get weak ''
and worse, and pain made its appearance in my right
shoulder, and would move in my breast and stomach. At
this time all persons gave me up to die. A physician then
told me that, m a last remedy, I had better use MR.
BULL'S FLUID EXTRACT OE SARSAPARILLA. After
the use of the second bottle, tbe knot on my wrist com-
menced getting soft. I opened it, and a day or two after,
a piece of bone came out. My wrist soon got well, and 1
continued to gain strength. After I used the third bottle.
I could get no more for some four weeks, after which time
I succeeded in getting three more bottles. After using the
three last bottles, the knot on my hip became soft; it wm- word PEPSIN.
opened, amd some corruption ran out, together with a
■mall piece of bone, and the sore soon got well, and the
knot entirely diappeared. The sore on my leg also opened,
and a piece of bone came out. I continued the use of the
Baroaporilla until 1 used twelve bottles, and am now
entirely well, and able to do daily labor. It may seem
strange to some, but I will here state that, during the
summer of 1849,1 coughed up three pieces of bone, which
can now be seen at tbe residence of my uncle. Thoe. Neal,
where I now lire, and if any persons doubt this statement,
I will be happy to converse with them, if they will call on
me. Signed, THOMAS N. RINGO.

Can the reader believe, after reading the description of
the above numerous cures, that there is still a few human
beings, suffering with disease, that refuse to give Bull's
Barraparilla a trial. It is indeed hard to believe, but nev- ~
ertbeiess, it ia too true. What kind of testimony would it
take to convince the few remaining disbelievers, that Bull's
medicine will do more even than it promises » The doctor
eould produce another and another cure performed by his
medicine; but if the cases published above will not con-
vice the sceptical, It U useless to prodxice any more, and,
Indeed, it would cost a fortune to publish the many certi-
ficates that have been showered on Dr. Bull. The largest
mammoth sheet in America would not contain even the
names of those cured, let alene full statements of their .
cases. ,
