most unquestionable ~prcoftbst can be given. OF their
immense importance TO the afflicted in almost eyerv

from Patients recovered through their means, is re-.
ally prodigious, and the complaints they have cured
are almost as varied as they are numerous. Bu,
still there are some 10 which they are more espe.
ciaily beneficial than in others and among tho,.
may be named the too often fatal complaints Of ,hs
stomach and bowels, such as Choiic, FIdf,tation, ana
indigestion, for which they are not only a certain
but an immediate cure.

ses-and here | would say that in cases Of sore
throat, connected with Scarlet Fever, this Liniment
has produced wonderful effects by a single aptlica
ton, and | believe, If applied in time, it would be .
complete barrier to the fatal effects of that distress
sing disc ase likewise as a remedy for old sores
and ulcers, by removing all extraneous matter,
thereby enabling the part affected to renew its
healthtul actions. 1t also acts as a charm TO brui-
ses, giving immediate relief; indeed it may be used
in all local affections where external applications
can avail. Its action is mild f Zee from any %unrlea-
SAINT sensations. and yet so powerful, and penetra-
ting, as to infuse its remedial qualities, frequently
in a few minutes, through the whole part affected.
Where the affection has been Of long standing the
cure must not be expected Immediately but il Of
recent attack, its curative effects are instantly felt.
So quick are it's benefits, that persons who have
been so seriously afflicted with Rheumatic aHec-
lions that they were confined to their beds, and
thereby rendered useless to themselves and others,
on making one application in the evening, have
found themselves so much relieved by morning as
to be able to attend TO their business. But the
best test, and the only way TO prove its good quail
ties, is TO try il. Do this, and proof positive will
be afforded of its valuable effects. All necessary
directions will accompany each phial. To agents.

QUACKS AND THEIR DESTRUC-
TIVE NOSTRUMS.

THE united testimony Of Physicians, throughout
i the United States, has fully proved the fact that
Pefos's Vegetable Pills are the only true TegefoJt
Pills. which will stand the test Of Anaiix nfion-
hence the proprietor would most earnestly urge them
10 the notice Of those who have been in the habit of
using as Cotharfcs or Aperients, the destructive and
irratnting QUICK Pills, so generally advertised, and
which are at best but slow customers of the vial
function. and numerous agents, even 10 the most
hale. II Is true, most of them produce a purg alive
effect, and sometimes transient relief, bun in most
cases they iDjure the digestive organs, and an habit.
ual resort 10 them must terminate in confirmed dys.
pepsia.
IL is true, that Cdhortie and Aperient Medicines
are often required, but the incest discrimination
should always be observed in the selection, and
ifihis be done nothing injurious can result from their
use.
To produce this much desired result, DR. Peters
has made it his study for several years, and feels
proud to say he has at length succeeded, far beyond
his expectations. The object Of his Pills are 10 SUI
persede the necessity OF a frequent recourse to inju-
rious purga'ives, and 10 offer II medicine safe, cptain,
and pleasant in its operation.
