DR.. HUNTS BOTANIC PILLS.

IL the midst of general and in many in
stances not unfounded prejudice against many
Of the medical remedies of the day, DR..
HUNTS BOTANIC PILLS have the envia-
BILE distinction OF universal appreciation. They
are perhaps the only medicine, publicly adver-
tised that has the full and unresered testimony
oil medical men in its favor, if not the only one
winch gives full satisfaction to lis purchasers.
pr. Hunt has the satisfaction Of knowing, that
ms PIlls are not only recommended and pre-
scnoed oy the most experienced physicians
IN their daily practice, but also taken by those
genuemen themselves, whenever they feel the
symptoms OF those diseases in which they well
know them to be efficacious. He knows this
TO be generally the case in New York, Phila-
delphla, Albany, Boston, and ether large cit
les, in which they have an extensive sale.
That they should thus conquer professional
prejudice and interested opposition, and Sc
cure the agency Of the most eminent aud best
informed physicians ia the country to render
them useful TO all classes, can only be fairly
sseribed to their undenlable and pre-emiDen,
