ded to by ALL that the scriptures, are true beyond

TO MOTHERS.

Messrs. f. Chase & Co.-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 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
ry poor about this length of time previous) and in
short time she enabled by their 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 pi ievous, she
was afflicted with dry hard cough, and frequent
severe cramps which the use Of the Pills entirely
removed before using half box. II is with the
greatest confidence that we advise oil 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-
We unitedlyl say,let none neglect taking them, for
they are in the reach of the poor as well as 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
aud perhaps save the lives Of thousands which would
otherwise be lost

SEVrE.N' REASONS WHY
DIR. LEIDY'S
SARSAPARILLA BLOOD PILLS,

OdHSd dFdhII}4h bLOOD FILLS.
SHOULD receive apreferenCe over all Pills now
- in existence:
First-Because they are composed of Vegetable
extracts. free from minerals; and may be taken at
all times with perfect safety by young and eld with
out restraint from occupation temperate living,
fear of taking cold
Second-Because they are composed of such
medicinal extracts, as have been employed by all
the most celebrated and respectable Physicians for
more than century past in purifying the Blood
and Animal fluid of the body.
Third-Because they may be employed as
mild or setive purgatve, according to the quantity
taken, and their operation will not be attended with
gripping Of the bowels, sickness at the stomach,
prostration Of the system, &C., are produced by
other pills.
Fourth-Because they possess combined action,
not possessed by any other pills, mixture 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.
Fifth-Beceuse they are the terror Of Quacks
and lmposteTs, for most persons obliged to take
The Sarsaparilla Blood Pills, after taking their vile
and destructive nostrums, to counteract and prevent
thei mischievons 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,
they know they are Anti Quack, Anti Mercural,
Anti Bilious as well good and safe purgatlve
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 ny Drs. Physic, Hor-
ner, Chapman, Devices, James, Gibson, Jackson,
Coxe Hare, &C., &c, which alone is sufficient to
cntite 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
ita 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-
lar production introduced into some parts of Eu-
rope in the year 1888, 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-
TEN, led physicians and families into its general
use Their long established character their univer-
sal and healing virtues the detergent and cleansing
qualities of their specific action upon the glandular
part of the SYSTEM are such as will sustain their re-
putadOn and general use in the American Repub-
lie.
