SEV'E.S' REASONS WHY
DIR. LEIDY'S
SARSAPARILLA BLOOD Pills

ShRSAPARTLLA BLOOD PILLS,
kNHOULD receive preference over all Pills now
~ in existence.
Flrst-becsuse they are composed of Vegetable
extracts free from minerals; und may be taken at
a times with perfect safety by young and old, with
cut restraint from occupations temperate living, or
fear of taking cold
Second-Bccause they are composed of such
medicinal extracts. as have been employed by all
tho most celebrated and respectable Physicians for
moro than century past, in purifying the Blood
and Animal fluid of the body.
Third-Because they may be employed as a
mild or active purgative according to the quantity
taken, and their operation will not be attended with
griping of the bowels sickness at the stomach
Prostratlon Of the SYSTEM &C., as are produced by
other pills.
Fourth-Because they possess combined action,
not possessed by any other pills, mixture or prepar.
alton 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.
Flfh-Because they arc the terror of Quacks
and Imposters for most persons are obliged to take
the Sarsaparla Blood Pills, after taking their vile
and destructive nostrums to counteract and prevent
their mischievcns and baneful 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 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 Physician, attested py Drs. Physic, Hor-
ner, Chapman, Devices, James, Gibson, jackson,
Coke, Hare, &C., &C., which alone is sufficient to
entitle them to great confidence

clans and others accompany the directions around

The ResurrectiOn, Or Persian Pills.

The name of these pills originated from the cir
cumstance of the medicine being found only in the
cemetaries of Persia. This vegetable production
being of peculiar kind, led to experiments as to
ia medicinal qualities and virtues. in half CEN
tury it became an established medicine for the dis
eases of that country. The extract of this singu-
arproduction introduced into some parts of Eu-
rope in the year 1885, and used by many celebrated
Physicians in curing certain diseases where all 9TH
er medicine has been used in vain. Early in the
year 1892, the extract was combined with certain
vegetable medicine imported from Dura Baca in
the East Indies, and formed into Pills. The admir-
able effect 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 writes, the detergent and cleansing
qualities of their specific action upon the glanduar
part of the SYSTEM such as will sustain their re-
putation and general use in the American Repub-
lie.

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 ex-
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

short time she was enabled by their use to attend to
the cares of mother to her family until her con-
finement. At the time she commenced taking the
Persian Pills, and for several weeks previous, she
was afflicted with dIy hard cough, and frequent
severe 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 in the same easy manner, and
are 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.-

world of suffering, which many of them have to bear,
and perhaps the lives Of thousands which would
