1t is now a settled point with all who have used
the Vegetable Persian Pills that they are pre-em-

cine that has yet been used in America. If every
family could become acquainted with their Sover

be prepared with remedy to apply on the frs

would be avoided and money saved as well as the
lives of thousands who are hurried out of time by
neglecting disease in its first stages by not being

Pendence upon.
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
lta medicinal qualities and virtues. In half GEN.
tury it became an established medicine for the dis
eases of that country. The extract of this singu-
iarproduction was introduced into some parts of Eu-
rope in the year l7s3 and used by many celebrated
Physicians in curing Certain diseases where all 9TH
er medicine has been used in vain. Early in the
year 1792 the extract was combined with a 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 unver-
sal and healing virtues the detergent and cleansing
qualities of their specific action upon the glanduar
part Of the system, are such as will sustain their re-
putation and general use in the American Repub-
