The inference, therefore, is that what was “logged” as a rock was nothiog but a dead wale, and that what was dec ared tobe a shoal was no more than weed and driftwood, just as the Au oras and the other Utopias and New Atlantises, the Crusoe and the Gulliver Islands and mainlands, which the mariner was fondly supposed he has deseried, have turmed out to be noth ing but icebergs. when Ee A + ie Small Coin in California. pennies and small bills through the Pacific Coast is a ma-*ked feature.

Ayers Sarsaparilla . Since then Mr. LELAND has recommended AYER’S SARSAPARILLA in many similar cases, and he has never yet heard of its fail- ure to eifect a radical cure. Some years ago one of Mr. .rLann’s farm laborers bruised his leg. Owing to the bad state of his blood, an ugly scrofulous swelling or lump appeared on the injured limb. Hor- rible itching of the skin, with burning and darting. pains through the lump, made life almost intolerable, The leg Lecame enor mously enlarged, and running ulcers formed, discharging great quantities of extremely offensive matter. No treatment was of any avail until the man, by Mr. LELAND’s diree- tion, was supplied with AYER'’s SARSAPA- RILLA, whick allayed the pain and irritation, lLealed the sores, removed the swelling, and completely restored the limb to use. Mr. LELAND has personally used Ayers Sarsaparilla for Rheumatism, with entire success ; and, after careful observation, declares that, in his belief, there is no medicine in the world equal to it for the cure of Liver Disorders, Gout, the effects of high living, Salt Rheum, Sores, Eruptions, and all the various forms of blood diseases. We have Mr. LELAND’s permission to invite all who may desire further evidence in regard to the extraordinary curative powers of AYER’s SARSAPARILLA to see him person- ally either at his mammoth Ocean Hotel, Long Branch, or at the popular Leland Hotel, Broadway, 27th and 28th Streets, New York. Mr. LELAND’S extensive knowledge of the good done by this unequalled eradicator of biood potsons enables him to give inquirers much valuable information. PREPARED BY Dr. J.C.
