Mourn thus, to zee me dying now
To see me swcctly rest;
Too long thy love has chained my heart
To Earth, unwilling to depart
From thee loved thee best
Then weep no more-Oh' give me up;

SEVEN RE.qs0.N'S tE,EEi'
DIR. LEIDY'S
SARSAPARILLA BLOOD Pills,

SARSAPARILLA BLOOD PILLS,
GHOULD receive preference over all Pills now
- in existence
First-Because they are composed Of Vegetable
extracts free from minerals; and may be taken at
all times with perfect safety by young and old, with
out restraint from occupation, temperate living, or
fear of taking cold.
Second-Because they are composed Of such
medicinal extracts, as have been employed by all
the most celebrated and respectable Physicians for
more than a century past, in purifying the Blood
and Animal fluid of the body
Third-Because they may be employed as a
mild active purgative, according to the quantity
taken and their operation will not be attended with
gripping of the bowels, sickness at the stomach,
prostration of the system, &C., as produced by
other pills.
Fourth-Because they possess a combined action,
not possessed by any other pills. mixture Or prepar-
otion whatever. Their first effect is in correcting
all impurities with which the blood and fluids of
the body may be affected, and by their gently opera
tive effect, removing such impurities from the sys-
tenn.
Fihh-Because they are the terror of Quacks
and Imposters, for most persons obliged to take
the Sarsaparilla Blood Pills, after taking their vile
and destructive nostrums to counterac and prevent
their mischievons and banefu effects.
SiXth--Because they are the only pills in which
Physicians have sufficient confidence to recommend
to their PATIENTS and employ in their practice, as
they know they are Anti Quack, Anti Mercural,
Anti Bilious as well as good and safe purgative
and purifier of the Blood and Animal Fluids.
Seventh and last-But not the least important,
be because they are prepared by regular APothe-
cary and PLY yscian, attested DY Drs. Physic, Hor-
ner, Chapman, Devices, James, Gibson, Jackson,
Coke, Hare &C., &c, which alone is sufficient to
entte them to great confidence.

such neglect shorten their days, and hasten their fl

TO MOTHERS.

Messrs. L. Chase 81 o.-Gents-Heanng
much said about the extraordinary effects Of the
Resurrection or Persian Pills, upon those about to
become mothers, we were induced to make a trial of
them. My wife was at that time the mother of five
children, and had suffered the most tedious and
cruciating pains during and after her confinement
of each. She had tried every means and taken
much medicine, but found little or no relief. She
commenced taking the Persian Pills about three
months before her confinement Cher health being We
ry poor about this length Of time previous) and in
short time she enabled by their to attend to
the cares of a mother TO her family until her con-
fnement. at the time she commenced taking the
Persian Pills. and for several weeks pl evious, she
was afflicted with d'y hard cough, and frequent
cramps, which the use Of the Pills entirely
removed before using half box 1t is with the
greatest confidence that we advise all those about to
become mothers to make use OF the Persian Pills.
All those that have taken them in our neighbor-
hood have got along ia the same easy manner, and
ere about the house in few days There does not
appear to be half the danger Of other dangers setting
in after confinement where these Pills are taken
We unitedY say,lct none neglect taking them, for
they in the reach Of the poor as well Us the rich
We are truly thankful that there is remedy which
females easily procure which tends to lessen the
world Of Suffering which many Of them have to bear,
and perhaps save thelives of thousands which would
otherwise be l'-t.

SANATIyE, or any other pills or compound before
the public, as certified to by Physicians and others
Let none condemn them until they have tried
them, and then we arc certain they will not.
1t is now a settled point with all who have used
the Vegetable Persian Pills that they are pre-em-
nently the best and most eiiicacous Family Mcd-
cine that has yet been used in America. If every
family could become acquainted with their Sover-
egn power over disease, they would keep them and
be prepared with sure remedy to apply the first
appearance Of disease, and then how much distress
would be avoided and money saved as well as the
lives Of thousands who are hurried out of time by
noeecting disease in its first stages, or by not being
in possession Of a remedy which they can place de-
pondence upon.
THE Resurrection, or Persian Pills.
The name of these pills originated from the cir
cumstance of the medicine being found only in the
cemeteries of Persia. This vegetable production
being of peculiar kind, led TO experiments as to
ita medicinal qualities and virtues, in half CEN
tury it became an established medicine for the dis
eases of that country. The extract of this sngu-
lar production was introduced into some parts of Eu-
rope in the year 1888 and used by many celebrated
Physicians in curing certain diseases, where all 9th
or medicine has been used in vain. Early in the
year 1899, the extract was combined with certain
vegetable medicine imported from Dura Baca, in
the East Indies, and formed into Pills. The admir-
able eject Of this compound upon the human sys-
tenn, led physicians and families into its general
use. Their long established character their univer-
sal and healing virtues, the detergent and cleansing
qualities of their specific action upon the glanduar
part of the system, are such as will sustain their re-
putation and general use in the American Repub-
lie.
