FORM OLE BANK NOTES.

Is there any good man who believes it poll
tic or right that LIES should be used as a
currency for the country Is it not Just as ca
sy TO make TRUTH our currency, or rathor to
make our currency tell the truth on its face !
TO that end We would suggest a change in the
form Of bank notes to the following effect:
"The President and directors oi the Bank
of the United States promise to pay JOHN
TYLER, or bearer, five dollars WHEN
THEY PLEASE"
Il is setledb by numerous precedents in this
country that banks shall pay their notes just
when they please. Why not change the phra-
seology of their notes. aud make it conform to
the truth! Would it jure their currency {!
Has the time come when Falsehood is more
sought after and is more current than Truth

THE CONSTITUTION.

What is that we call the Constitution The
constitution is evidently that which constitutes,
and that which constitutes is the 6kOOd We, there
fore, know that the blood is the constitution, and
that good or bad constitution is neither more nor
less than good or bad state Ofthe blood There is
no person who, having lost health does not wish to
have it restored. Use then tie proper means. Ex-
pei with Purgatioe Medicine all currupt humors
from the body, and the blessing, Health, will be
the certain result for all pains or unpleasant feel
ings proceed from the presence of corrupt or vi
tiated humOrs, which are the reat cause of eyerv
disease and therefore the oIy disease to which the
human frame is subject, because they clog up the
veins and arteries, and prevent the free circulation
of the blood.
BraadretkS Vegetable UntrersQl Pills cure this
disease because they remove the corrupt or vi
tiated humors by the stomach and bowels, leaving
the good humors TO give life and health to the bo-

CURING PRACTICE.

The principle of purifying the body by purg
ng with Cegeta6te phySac is becoming more and
ore understood as the only seaside method by
which sound health can be established. Hun.
aEsdS OF individuals have become convinced OF
ths doctrine, and are daily acknowledging the
practice to be the best ever discovered. Now
is the unhealthy season when our bodies are
liable TO be affected with disease; and now is
ihe tlme The state Of the stomach and bowels
should ae attended to, because on the healthy
stale % those organs depends the healthy state
os The general system; and every one will see al
once, If the general health be bad while that re-
mains, local disease cannot be cured.

cures upon thousands of helpless and hopeless
persons, after the usual scientific skill of phv-

;hat they could do no more. The properties of
these Pills as anti-blllous and aperient medicine
are unrvaled; all who use them recommend

HarriSOn's Specific Ointment.

The great celebrity of this unrivalled Compost
tion-espeCially in the Northern StateS--leaves
the proprietor but little need to say any thing in
its favor for it has been generally conceded to it.
that il is beyond all comparison the best remedy
for external complaints that has ever been diScov-
cred. Indeed the speed and certainty of its oper-
ations have the appearance of ofmracles as ulcers,
wounds, corns, fever sores, chibains, white swell
hngs, biles piles spider and snake bites &c
Immediately yield to its apparently super human
influence. Thus if properly applied it will remove
an nveterate, corn or break and heal bile in five
days, will allav and perfectly cure an ulcer in two
weeks and the most desperate cases of white
swelling that can be imagined, have been DESTROYED
by it In less than two months. In the bites of
poisonous reptiles its efficacy is truly surprising;
and even in the bite of rabd dog, for if applied
in time, its powers of attraction are so wonderful
that they viii at once arrest the poison and thus
prevent it from pervading the system. 1t is like
wise greatly superior to any medicine heretofore
discovered for the chafed backs and limbs of horses
for letters, ring worms, chapped lips,-and in
short for every external bodily evil that may fall
10 the lot of man or beast
The proprietor has received at least a thousand
certificates and other documents, in favor of his
Specific Ointment" upwards a hundred of which
were written by respectable members of the Med
ical Faculty and in selecting from this pile the
following samples, he was governed more by their
brevty, than their contents, they all breath the

StagnatiOn Of the Blood.

The repeated changes in the atmosphere, by act
ing as they do upon the consistence and quality o.
the blood, give occasion for the most fatal and ma
hgnant disorders. The blood from state of health
becomes stagnant and is plunged into a state Of
corruption.
Thus it loses its purity: it's circulation is mpe-
ded; the channels Of life cl0gged; the booels be-
come cOstiUe, and if not all immediate attack OF
some malignant fever, headache, nausea loss of
appetite, and general debility of the whole frame
are sure to follow.
1t requires the tempest and the tornado to bring
about state of purity in the ocean, when its wa
ters become stagnant; and it will require repeat
ed evacuation by the stomach and bowels before
the blood can be relieved of its accumulated i'm
purity.
BrandretNs Vegetable Universal Pills,
should be taken, then there will be no danger: be-
cause they purge from the stomach and bowels
these humors which are the cause of stagnation.
cleanse the blood from all impurities, remove every
cause Of PAIN aUeakneSS and preserre the cOasti-
tuition in state of HEALTH and vIGoR that causual
