HOW TO PROLONG LIFE AND ENJOY IT
GREAT PURIFYING AND STRENGTHENING
MEDICINE.
What though the sun in beauty shine,
And you have countless hoards of wealb ;
What though the world—all, all was thine,
If you but want the blessing, Health.
Dr. DE ROOS' PI LU LSE VITtE, or VEGETABLE LIFE PILLS.
A universal Restorative for both Sexes and all Ages, concocted
solely from the Van ETABLK 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, Heat, 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 instances, where occa-
sionally employed in Families andl 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 healthyjuvenilebloom to the Complexion.
Ladies, however delicate, will 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 tranquilizing 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 Highley, 4, Mount-street, Halifax: "I find your Pilulae
Vim a very pleasant medicine in removing headache."—Maent-
wrog, Tan-y-Bwlch, North Wales: "Mr. Warner's compliments
to Dr. De Roos, and be finds no medicine do him so much good
as his Pilulte Vine."

,‘ "WALTER DE LONDON," in white letters on the red
ground printed in the stamp, affixed to each Box, by special
direction of Her Majesty's Honourable Commissioners, to pro,
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 various persons who have taken
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 JA MIESON.
Messrs. Pomeroy, Andrews, and Co. _

PURTHER IMPORTANT TESTIMONY.—OREAT CURE OP PILES..
17, Phelp3-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. Wm. HYDE.
Messrs. Pomeroy, Andrews, and Co.
8, Ashley-terrace, City-road, London, June 9, 1852.
GENTLEMRN,—PIease send me again three quart bottles of Old
Dr. 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, Jon N W. MUNCH..
Messrs. Pomeroy, Andrews, and Co., 373, Strand.
Wearn, 1, High-street, Sout lisea, writes, "I have taken
several bottles of Old Townsend's Sarsaparilla, and derived benefit
from it." Rev. J. W. Wilson, Wesleyan Minister, at Biggleswade,
writes, June 7, 1852, " I have derived much benefit from taking
Dr. Townsend's Sarsaparilla."

FEMALE COMPLAINTS.-OREAT CURE OF NERVOUSNESS.

London, June 10, 1852.
Gentlemen,—My wife has been long afflicted with a nervous
complaint, from which she suffered severely. Able physicians and
many remedies were tried in vain, but I am happy to inform you
that she has entirely recovered by using a few bottles of Old Dr.
Townsend's Sarsaparilla. J. R. PETERSON.
Messrs. Pomeroy, Andrews, and Co.
PIMPLES, BLOTCHES, ERUPTIONS, &C.
The same may be said of these as in the cure of the severer
chronic maladies ; the Sarsaparilla and the Ointment will effec-
tually wipe off all disagreeable eruptions, and render the surface
clear and beautiful. Ladies troubled. with rough, pimply skin, or
a gross, masculine surface, will do well to use these Medicines, if
they wish clear, delicate, and transparent complexions. Nothing
can exceed their efficacy in this respect.
CURE OF A DISORDERED STOMACH.
Lower Grosvenor-street, Grosvenor-square, July 31, 1851.
Gentlemen,—I beg to inform you that I have been using your
Medicine, Dr. Townsend's Sarsaparilla, for a complaint in my sto-
mach, from which I suffered a long time, and I am happy to say
it has cured me. I shall to answer any letter of inquiry, as your
Sarsaparilla is worthy of all the recommendation I can give it.
Messrs. Pomeroy and CO. JAMES FORSYTH.
SICK HEADACHE—A CASE OF MANY YEARS' STANDING.
The following is one of those cases arising from a disordered state
of the functions, which affect the whole system, and bring on some
of the most distressing sufferings. This lady has suffered more
or less for ten years, and has now entirely recovered by the use of
Dr. Townsend's Sarsaparilla. " Berkeley•square, Jan. 15, 1853.
"Messrs. Pomeroy and Co.—! have used your Dr. Townsend's
Sarsaparilla for sick headache and general debility, arising from
a disordered state of my eystem, and am happy to inform you
that it has completely restored me to former health and strength.
I experience a degree of comfort, buoyancy of spirits, and renewed
strength, which I have not known for ten years. This great benefit
alone induces me to write an acknowledgment. Disliking my
name in full to go before the public, I give my initia s
l only.
