TO MOTHERS.

Messrs. E. Chase &c o.-Gents.-Hearng
much said about the extraordinary effects of the
Resurrection or Persian Pills, upon those about to
become mothers, we were induced to make 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
ry poor about this length of time preyious) and in
short time she was enabled by their use to attend to
the cares Of mother to her family until her con-
fnement. At the timS she commenced taking the
Persian Pills, and for several weeks pl eyious, she
was afflicted with a d'y 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 neghbor-
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.-
We unedly say,et none neglect taking them, for
they are in the reach of the poor well the rich
We are truly thankful that there is a remedy which
females can easily procure which tends to lessen the
world of suffering, which many Of them have to bear
and perhaps save the lives Of thousands which would
otherwise be lost.
