ThEHE unparalleled reputation which Peters
i. Pills have acquired as a Medical Resto-
ratiye, is the most unquestionable proof that
can be given Of their immense importance to
the afflicted, in almost every class ofdlseases.
The number of letters received from patients
recovering through their means is really prodi-
glous, and the complaints which they have
cured are almost as varied as they are numer-
Gus. But still there are some in which they
are more especially beneficial than in others
and among those may be named the too often
fatal complaints of the stomach and bowels,
such as Colo, Flatulence, and Indigestion, for
which they are not only a certain but an im-
mediate cure.
II is well known that from the disarange-
ment of the stomach and bowels, arise nine
tenths Of all the maladies of adult and declining
life that is the foundation of Flarulency, Spas
modic Pains, Indigestion, Loss of Appetite,
&c, and that those in their turn give birth TO
Dropsy, Liver Complaint, Consumption, and
habifual lowness of spirits; therefore Peters
Pills being the very best medicine which has
ever been discovered for the incipent diseases
OF the intestines, are necessarily the Furest
preventives of those dreadful, and also general
SO many millions to untimely graves.
Inspeaking thus, DR.. Peters arrogatesnoth-
ing to himself that has not been conceded by
the public, He is no needy quack or unknown
SPECTATOR, who comes before the world as his
own herald and witness, but is placed in a
responsibility of situation by the patronage
which he has enjoyed for years, and which is
increasing to ar extent unprecedented in the
annals OF medicine, that makes him careful to
assert nothing which is not borne out by tire
most infallible proof and hence he does moi feal
to be put to the test in any. thing which he
has promised respecting his Pills.
DR.. Peters is most happy to be able to state
on the authority of a great number of regular
| physicians, that wherever his Vegetable Pill:
have been introduced, they have almost super
ceded the adoption of mercurial experiments
for their peculiar faculty for sweetening thu
blood, and stimulating it to expel ali noxiou.
Juices land in giving strength and tone to tht
nerves, prevents disease from acquiring tina
strength which must be got under, if at all, b,
