QUACKS AND
Their Destructive NOSfTums.

FEvHE united testimony Of Physicians, through
Il out the United States, has fully proved the
fact that Peters Vegetable Pills are the only true
Fegetable Pills, which will stand the test OF ARaid-
zatiou-hence the proprietor would most earnestly
urge them TO the notice of those who have been In
the habit Of using. as Cothartics ~ 1Per1enfs, the
destructive and irritating Qu0ck PtHs, 80 general
ly advertised, and which are al best hut slow consul
mers Of The vital functions and murderons agents,
even TO the most hale. 1t is true, most OF them pro-
duee a p%urgatiye effect. and sometimes transient re-
lief, but In most cases they injure the digestive or
gans, and an habitual resort to them must terminate
in confirmed dyspepsia.
II is true that Cahortie and Aperient Medi-
e;nes are often required, but the incest discfimina-
ton should always be observed in the selection, and
i this be done nothing injurious can result from their
use.
TO produce this much desired result, Dr.. Peters
has made it bis study for several years, and feels
proud to say be has at length succeeded, far beyond
bis expectations. The object Of his FsHs are to SUI
persede the necessity of a frequent recourse 70 irJu'
rious purgatiyes, and to offer a medicine scfe, GER
thin. and pleasant in its operation.

-" Rumours of the most unplea-

during the past week. 1t is
stated that he has left home
with a large sum of money,
(variously stated from $4,000 to
f5OOO,) placed in his hands to
pay the contingencies of the
House of Assembly. There is
no doubt that Colonel FITz-

that he received a sum Of mon
ey to pay contingencies, and
that he has only partly done SO.

are informed was settled. is

was never made in vain in favor

he has selected for the occa-

his good taste and his pure

noble act Of generosity the
grateful prayers of the widow
and the orphan, the warm ap-
proval of every manly mind,
and the best blessings of all the
virtuous and the good will re-
ward him, nor will Heaven re-
fuse to smile upon the fortunes
of one whose exertions are
never withheld from the sacred
cause of humanity.

who is deeply afflicted by this unexpected
blow, hesItates in making the application;

for England and his;ohec,ion to rupture

covery by England OF the intrigues OF Rus.
sia in British India and the Canadas, the
failure Of which the Emperor impules ia
Count Nesselrode's not having sent sulfi'

further reported that all the foreign agents
