Peters Pills.

~2&A
TyHE Unparalleled reputation which Peters'Pills,
have acquired as a Medical Restorative is the
most upuuestionable prooithat can be gwen, OF thelf
immense Importance to The afflicted IN almost every
class of diseases. The number Of letters received
from Patients recovered through their means, IS re-
ally prodigious, and the complaintsthey nave cured
are almost as varied as they are numerous. But
still there are some in which they are more espe-
cially beneficial than in others; and among Ahose
may be named the too often iatal compIa'ntsO i the
stomach and bowels, such as ChGi3c, Ffdtudtion, and
Indigestion, for which they are not only a certain
but an immediate cure. =
lis weIlknown thaifrom the Encouragement OF
the stomach aud bowels, arise nIoe-tenths on all he
maladies ofaduit and declining life that this IS Inc
foundation of fatuency, spaSmOdic pains, ,ne1SeS-
ton, loss Qfappetite, &c. and that those IN lheir
turn give birth 10 DropSg, Licer Compliant, Con
s~uppficn, and habitudi LO1Gness Of spirits therefore
Peters Pills being the very best medicine winch
has ever been discovered for the i%ncipient diseses OF
the intcstiues, are necessarily the surest preVenta-
tives Of those dreadful, and also general disorders
which embitter mature life and drag so many mil
lions TO untimely graves.
In speaking thus, DIR. Peters arrogates nothing 10

which is increasing 10 an extent unprecedented III

assert nothing which is not borne out by the most
infaliblc proof and hence he does not lear 10 pc pun
TO the test in any thing which he has PfomlseurcsN

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,

curial experiments, for their peculiar faculty in swee-

JvSE 29.-J0hn u. Son VS.. John Bodine and John

pensation in damages for malcou arrest and false
Imprisonment. The defendants large wholesale
grocers in the city, and the plaintiff had been Of
their clerks, but subsequently 10 his leaving, had
carried on business as grocer on his own account
in the city. 1t appeared that the parties had consi
derable dealings with each other, and that debt of
Sl40O had be-a contracted by the plaintiff in this
suit The defendants then became alarmed, and al
ter some negotiation, II was agreed that plaintiff
should put them in possession OF all his stock, which
he vaaed at $1,000, and he receive the balance IN
cash. In making this agreement, however, the de-
PENDANTS took care to add proviso that if any por
tion of the stock should be found deficient allow
ance shou.o be made by the plaintiff and OF course
the difference to be refunded After the
rangements had been carried out, the defendants in
sisted that the stock very much overvaued,
and they instituted action of tort against the
plaintiff, and that he put into the debters
prison Plaintiffs attorney, however, brought him
before Judge at Chambers, to show cause for his
detention and the Judge after hearing the parties
directed the plaintiff to be discharged and decided
that the defendants had no cause OF action The de
PENDANTS thon went to the police, and got warrant
against the plaintiff for obtaining money false pre-
fences. and plaintiff arrested and in default OF
bail committed This was the the part of
The plaintiff The defendants counsel now moved
for a nonsuit, because he said there was probable
ground for his arrest, and because the oath under
which il made was neither false nor malicious
The Court decided that this was one OF the facts
OF which the jury must Judge, and the learned gem
tleman then went into his Defence which, however,
nothing more than a continuation OF his argu-
ment for q nonsuit
The Jury, under the charge OF the Court, found a
verdict for the plantif-damages $500.
