QUACKS AND THEIR DESTRUC-
TIVE NOSTRUMS.

rE1HE united testimony of Physicians, throughou.
the United States, has fully proved the fact that
Petrs's Vegetable Pills the only true Vegetable
Pills which will stand the test of Ardii cation
hence the proprietor would most earnestly urge then
10 the notice Of those who have been in the habit Of
using as Cathartics Aperients, the destructive and
irraiating Quack Pills so generally advertised, and
which are at best but slow customers Of the vital
functions and mwderous agents, even to the most
hale. II is true, most Of them produce purgative
effect and sometimes transient relief, but in most
cases they iniure the digestive organs, and habit,
ual resort to them must terminate in confirmed dys
pepsia.
II is true, that CGthartic and Aperient Medicines
are often required, but the incest discrimination
should always be observed in the selection, and
ifthis 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 say he has at length succeeded, far beyond
his expectations. The object Of his PiRs are TO
persede the necessity of frequent recourse TO nju.
rous purgaves, and to offer cdicne safe, certain,
and pleasant in its operation
Prepared by JOS. PRlESTLY PETERS, NJ.

contains 40 Pills. Price so cents.

NOrisOn's Universal Medicine

of the British College of Health.
KE7 f have the pleasure announce to the pub
w lie, that we have just received a large supply
of the above named medicines. These medicines
have obtained, both in this country and in England
most astonishing reputation, They have been
used with great in almost every disease TO
which the human system is subject. The leading
principles of the Hygean or Morrison theory of
disease, are contained in the following PROPOSE
tons.
lst. The vital principle is contained in tho
Blood. Cd. Every thing in the body is derived
from the Blood. Sd. All diseases arise from the
impurty of the Blood. 4th Pain and disease
have the same origin, may therefore be considered
SYNONYMOUS terms. 5th. Purgaton by vegetables
is the only ellectua mode of purifying the blood,
and eradcating disease. We have sold these medl'
cnes in this county for time, and give the
testimony of some ofthe most respectable citizens
in the county as to their good qualities. We conf,
IDENTITY recommend them TO the public, as a good
article in common diseases. WIN. LONG & SON.

The above table of value attached to the land and

the different establishments, architects, builders,
&c. The estimates in mauy instances the cost

fair commercial prosperity ofcourse the total value,
therefore, be taken with these limitations. But
STILL this statement will give some idea of the value
Of the property in Wal.stree; all the above, except
the Exchange, in continuous line; and all except
the State Bank and old New York Bank are granite
rons parts Of the interior of each vaulted,
such as the fire proof book rooms; all the vaults have
iron sides, top and bottom, like steam engine boiler
encased in brick.
Such, then, are few Of the prominent details in
the architecture Of Wall street, and if could so
far overcome folly, bigotry, and hypocrisy, to get
the street cut through to the North River, (Which
must be done) and splendid square laid out,
Cathedral built on the site ot Trinity Church, il
would far surpass in beauty and utility any street
in the known world.
As valuable table of reference we now subioin q

der to show at view, the dimensions of some Of
the most noted public buildings in Europe As CON-
