Dr. DE ROOS' PILULE viT,E, or VEGETABLE LIFE PILLS.
A universal Restorative for both Sexes and all Ages, concocted
solely from the VEGETABLE kingdom; they may be administered
to the youngest Child, or to the most delicate Invalid, by merely
regulating the dose according to the age and strength of the per-
son. They remove all Disorders and Pains in the Stomach and
Bowels, as Costiveness, Spasms, Loss of Appetite, Sick Headache,
Fulness after Meals, indigestion, Liver Complaints, Inactivity of
the Bowels, Listlessness, I leaf, Pain, and Jaundiced Appearance;
and while they act thus salutarily, they must of necessity increase
the strength of the Patient. Headache, Giddiness, Singing in the
Ears, Fluttering of the Sight, and other Heavy Drowsy Sensations
—the forerunners of many fatal diseases,—as Apoplexy, Paralytic
Strokes, Epilepsy, &c., are effectually warded off by a few doses
of these Pills. They also produce sound refreshing Sleep, a keen
Appetite, and possess extraordinary efficacy in invigorating the
_system, and imparting a pleasing serenity of mind. They are
unequalled as a Family Medicine; in few instance‘ where occa-
sionally employed in Families and Schools, will other assistance
be needed.
For. Females they are truly excellent, removing Headaches,
Depression of Spirits, Dizziness of Sight, Nervousness, Dimples,
Sallowness, and giving a healthy juvenile bloom to the Complexion.
Ladies, however delicate, wit; find them particularly beneficial
both before and after confinement. For Elderly People they are
the most comfortable Medicine that can be taken.
Persons going Abroad, Captains, and others, cannot store more
important articles of health than the above, which, by regulating
the Stomach and Bowels, and tranquillizing the Nervous System,
will prevent those fatal diseases so prevalent abroad ; as also Sea
Sickness and other complaints incidental to long voyages and
irregular living. No Emigrant's Chest can be properly furnished
without them, for when far removed from medical aid, they will
find in these Pills a never-failing restorative.
Mr. Smith, St. Ives : "Since taking your Pills,l have not once
required the services of a medical man, and feel satisfied this
would be the case generally, if people were not so much governed
by prejudice."—T. Webster, Esq., Sleaford, near Melton Mowbray:
"Having read your advertisement, 1 felt assured your Pills would
be of use to some of my poorer neighbours. I have had 12 boxes,
and they have derived great benefit from taking them. I shall
continue to recommend your valuable Pills to all my friends."—
Mr. Edwin Highlcy, 4, Mount-street, Halifax: "I find your Pilulm
Vita: a very pleasant medicine in removing headache."—Maent-
wrog, Tan-y-Bwlch, North Wales: "Mr. Warner's compliments
to Dr. De Roos, and he finds no medicine do him so much good
as his Pilulte Vita:."

tect the Public from Fraud, and to imitate which is Felony.

OLD DR. JACOB TOWNSEND'S AMERICAN
SARSAPARILLA.—This is one of the most extraordinary
and valuable Medicines in the world. Its superiority over other
preparations of like character, made in this country, arises from
the mode of manufacture, and the advantage of obtaining and
working the root in its green and fresh state. The root, when
brought to this country, is dry, vapid, and almost tasteless, its
virtues and juices having all evaporated; while it often becomes
mouldy, musty, and partially decayed, so that it is quite unfit for
use. ENGLISH TESTIMONY.
We give a few of the many communications we have received
since we have been in England, from those who have experienced
the great benefits of using this celebrated medicine. They must
have some weight in convincing the public of its great value.
49, Davies-street, Berkeley-square, Sept. 1, 1851.
Gentlemen,—l have much pleasure in testifying to the nume-
rous thanks I have received from variouspersons who have takes
Old Dr. Jacob Townsend's Sarsaparilla, many of whom will be
• happy to give you testimonials should you require them. I am
doubly pleased to be able to speak to the good effects I have seen
myself produced by the Sarsaparilla; for I must confess that,
although I was not prejudicial, I was rather sceptical as to its
virtues, which I would not have believed it possessed, had I not
seen it.—l am, your obedient servant, JOHN JAMIESON.

FURTHER IMPORTANT TESTIMONY.—GREAT CURE OF PILES.
17, Phelps-street, Walworth, Feb. 22, 1853.
Gentlemen,—l was afflicted with the blind Piles, and was under
medical treatment for three months, but obtained no relief.
Hearing of Old Dr. Jacob Townsend's Sarsaparilla, I obtained
some, and, after taking it a short time, the accumulated corrupt
matter copiously discharged, and I almost immediately obtained
relief. I still continued its use for a time, and not only found
relief. but a cure, and am now free from pain. I most sincerely
recommend it to all who are similarly affected. Wst. HYDE.
Messrs. Pomeroy, Andrews, and Co.
8, Ashley-terrace, City-road, London, June 9, 1852.
GENTLEMEN,—Please send me again three quart bottles of Old
am Townsend's Sarsaparilla. I feel much better, and the general
system greatly improved, and I hope I shall be all right with the
three now ordered.—Yours very respectfully, JOHN W. MUNCH.
Messrs. Pomeroy, Andrews, and Co., 373, Strand.
William Wearn, 1, High-street, Southsea, writes," I have taken
several bottles of Old Townsend's Sarsaparilla, and derived benefit
from it." Rev. J. W. Wilson, Wesleyan Minister, at Biggleswade,

Dr. Townsend's Sarsaparilla."
