pARR'S LpI,FE PILLS.

The HUMAN BODY, like the vegetable world, undergoes com-
plete renovation in the spring. An eminent nat irali4t and physio-
logist has lately put forth the nevel and startling theory that once
in seven years tvery part de of the frame is entirely renewed,
&though the process is gradual. Be this as it may, what is certain
is, that men, like plants, in the spring reixive increased vigour and
substance.
The SPRING has always been remarked as a period when disease,
if it be lurking in the system, is sure to show itself. The col Iness
of winter renders torpid the acrimonious fluids of the body, and in
this state of in ictivity their evil to the system is not perceived ; but
at the spring these are aroused, and, if not checked, mix up and cir-
culate with the bloat, and thus the whole system is contaminated.
PARR'S LIFE PILLS, judiciously taken for two or three weeks.
Will rid the body of all that is moxious, and produce health and com-
fort. Pe,sons troubled with .corbutic affections are strongly td-
',wised to try them at this time of the year ; in a few days they will
perceive the powerful clearing and invigorating properties they
possess.

TO LADIES.
FARR'S LIFE PILLS are especially efficacious in all the variety
Of ailments incident Ito the fair sex. Ladies even of the most &B-
eate constitutions will find then oarticula,ly beneticial, both before
and after confinement; and for general use in scho ,Is they cannot
be too strongly reco mended. They mildly and speedily remove all
Skin Eruptions, Sallowness of Complexion, Nervous Irritability, ick
headache, Deoretsion of Spirits, Irregularity, or general Derange-
ment of the System.
