Dyyar6Sh Christians

No one should be startled at this ex-
preston. There are dwaifs in the ami
NAL kingdom; we speak Of dwarfi>h men;
and we also say, dwarfish viltnes and
gigantic crimes; and we know of no
good reason why we may not extend the
term, and say with equal proprie,y that
there are dwar6sh christians aud gigantic
sinners. Taking it then for granted that
our expression is admissible, we viii! pro-
coed to show the reasons why this phra-
seoIogy is correct English expression;
| in other words show how christians come
TO be dwarfs.
We would first however solicit our
kind readers attention 10 three premises,
viz: |. Converts are properly called babes
in Christ. 2. 1t is their privilege to
grow until they become perfect men in
Christ. 5. This growth is brought about
by the habiu,A aud faithful discharge Of
their christian duties.
We shall now without any longer de-
tanning our reader, proceed 10 slate the
manner in which dwar6sh christians be-
! come such; and

THE unparalleled reputation which Peters rus
Il have acauired as a Medical Rsst0TGtire IS lne
most unquestlouable p~roofthat can be gwen, OF tnelr
immense importance 10 the aniictsd IA aiihos'eseiy
class of diseases. The number Of letters received
from Patients recovered through their means, IS re.
ally prodigious, and the complimentary nave cupeu
are almost as varied as they are nureroas' nut
still there are some ia which they are more espe-
cially beneficial than 10 others; and among those
may be named the too often fatal complaints Of The
stomach and bowels, such as Chotic, FIdtudtton, and
indigestion, for which they are not only a certain
but an immediate cure. +.
Ii is well known thatfrom the disarrsngement oil
the stomach aud bowels, arise nine-tenihs oil all the
maladies ofadult and declining life that this = the
foundation Of 1dfuency, S~pdsm0dic pains, tndiges-
lion, loss ofappetite, &c. and that those IN thelr
turn give birth TO Dropsy, Iirer Compliant, COR
SUMPTION, and hdbituGl t0tcness of spirits therefore
Peters Pills being the very best medicine which
has ever been discovered for the i~ncipient diseses oil
the intestines, are necessarily the surest preyenta-
tives of those dreadful, and also general disorders
which embitter mature life aud drag so many mil
lions 10 untimely graves.
In speaking thus, DR.. Peters afrogates nothing TO
himself that has not been conceded by the public
He is no needy quack or unknown Spectator. VINO
comes before the world as his own herald and VIII
ness; but is placed in a responsibility OF situation by
the patronage which be has enjoyed for years, aud
which is increasing 10 an extent unprecedented 10
the annnls Of medicine, that makes him careful TO
assert nothing which is not borne out by the most
IufaiiDtc PROOF anu HeHce Hc uots bul Haf FNt
TO the test 10 any thing which he has promised res
peoting his Pills.
DR. Peters is most happy TO 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-
curial experiments, for their peculiar faculty in swee-
tcning the blood and stimulating it 10 expel all nox-
ious juices, and 10 giving strength and tone to the
nerves, prevents diseasefrom acquiring that strength
which must be got under, if al all, by dangerous
remedies.

QUACKS AND THEIR DESTRUC-
TIVE NOSTRUMS.

NHE unfted~ Testimony of Physicians, throughout
4 the United States, has fully proved the fact that
Peters's Vegetable Pills are the only true pegeta6ie
Pills, which will stand the test Of Analizdtion-
hence the proprietor would mostearnesty urge them
10 the notice Of those who have been in the habit Of
using as Cdthartics or Aperients, the destructive and
ir~ratating Quack Piis, so generally advertised, and
which are at best but slow customers of the vital
functions and murderous agents, even 10 the most
hale. II is true, most Of them produce n purgative
effect, and sometimes transient relief, but in most
cases they injure the digestive organs, and an habit
ual resort to them must terminate 10 confirmed dys-
pepsia.
IL is true, that Cdthartic 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, DIR Peters
has made it his study for several years, aud 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 purgatives, and to offer a medicine safe, certain,
and pleasant in its operation.

Reeds Rheumatic Eminent.

TyHE great success which has attended the ap-
plication of this LinimeBt induces me to otter
it TO the public, with renewed confidence, as a safe
and effectual remedy for Rheumatism, SprainS,
Burns, and Pains OF foery kind, arising from vlo-
lence or otherwise, also as one ofthe best remedies
for swollen glands from sore throats or other eau
ses-and here | would say that IN cases OF sore
throat, connected with Scarlet Fever, this Liniment
has produced wosderful effects by a single applica
lion, and believe, il applied in time, it would be a
complete barrier to the fatal Effects of that distress
sing disease likewise as a remedy for old sores
and ulcers, by removing all extraneous matter,
thereby enabling the part affected to renew its
healthful actions. 1t also acts as n charm 10 brui-
ses, giving immediate relief; indeed it may be used
in all local affections where external applications
can avail. Its a%ctionis mild, fee from any unplea-
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 1t OF
recent attack, its curative effects are instantly felt.
So quick are its benefits, that persons who have
been so seriously afflicted with Rheumatic afiec-
tions 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 it. Do this, and proof positive will
be afforded of its valuable effects. All necessary
directions Will accompany each phial. To agents,
and those who buy to sell again a liberal discount
will be made.
The genuine article is only to be he'd of VIM.
