Peters, Pills.

ryHE unparalleled reputation which Peters Pills,
i have acquired as Medical Resforatire, is tho
unquestonabc proof that be given, Of their
immense Importance to the afflicted in almost every
class Of diseases. The number Of letters received
from Patients recovered through their means, is
ally prodgious, aud the complaints they have cured
almost varied they are numerous. But
still there some 10 which they are more espe-
cially beneficial than IN others; and among hose
may be named the too often fatal complaints Of the
stomach and bowels such AS Chotfc Ffatttation and
indigestion, for which they are not only certain
but Immediate cure.
II is well known that from the disarrsBgement Of
the stomach aud bowels, arise nine snihs Of all the
maladics ofaduit and declining life that this is the
foundation Of fatueaey, spasmodic pains, indiges-
lion, loss of appetite, &c. and that those IN their
turn give birth 10 DrOpsy Iicr Complaint, Con-
SUMPTION and habitudI iouness Of spirits therefore
Peters Pills being the very best medicine which,
has been discovered for the ncrpient dseses Of
the ntestines, necessarily the suresf preyenta
lives Of those dreadful aud also general disorders
which embitter mature life and drag so many mil
lions TO untmely graves.
Ia speaking thus, Dr. Peters arrogates nothing to
himself tina, has not been conceded by the public.
He is no needy qnack or unknown Speculation, who
comes before the world as his herald and wit
ness but is placed in responsibility of situation by
the patronage which he has enjoyed for years, and
which is Increasing 10 extent unprecedented 10
the anDnis Of medicine that makes him careful TO
assert nothing which is not borne out by the most
ibfalbIe proof and hence he does fear be put
10 the test in any thing which he has promised res
pecting his Pills.
DIR. Peters is most happy 10 be able TO state on
the authority Of several regular Physicians that
wherever his Vegetable Pills have been introduced
they have almost superseded the adoption OF mer-
cural experiments for their peculiar faculty in swee
tcning the blood and stimulating it TO expc all nox
ious juices, and in giving strength and tone 10 the
nerves prevents discasefrom acquiring that
which must be got under, if at all, by dangerous
remedies.
