INDIAN VEGETABLE PILLS

INDIAN
OF all the public advertised medicines of the
day, we know of none that we can more safely re-
commend for the ''ills that flesh is heir to" than
the Pills that are sold at the depot of the North
American College of Health, No. 1913 fremont
street, Boston. Several instances we know of
where they are used in families with the highest
satisfaction; and no longer ago than yesterday, we
heard an eminent Physician of the city recommend
them in high terms. There used to be in the
community, great repugnance to the use Of
QUACK medicines, as they are all indiscriminate-
y termed, but it was mainly owing to the regular
M. D. S constantly denouncing them. They are
however, becoming more liberal in this respect and
the consequence is that good vegetable medicines
are now more extensively used than formerly.

ANAwURAL REMEDY

A NATURAL EeEHaEDX,>
Suited to our Constitutions, and competent 10 me
cure of euery cua6ge disease soiH be found IN the
INDIAN VEGETABLE PILLS,
THE
North Assaericam College of Health.
THESE extraordinary Pills are composed OF
plants which grow spontaneously on our own son.
and are therefore, better adapted to our constltu
lions. than medicine concocted from foreign drugs
however well they may be compounded; and as
THE IANVEGETABLEP PILLS are found
ed upon the principle that the human body Is IN
truth
viz: corrupt humors, and that said medicine cures
this disease on
NATURAL PRINCIPLES

ifest. that if the constitution be not entirely ex
hausted- "a perseverance in their use, according
to directions is absolutely certain to drive disease
of every name from the body.
When we wish to restore a Swamp or Morass
to fertility, we drain it of the superabundant wa
ters; in like manner if we wish to restore the body
to health, we must cleanse it of impurity.
THE INDIAN VEGETABLE PILLS
viii be found one of the BEST if not the Uery best
medicine IN the acorld for carrying out this
GRAND PURIFYING PRINCIPLE,
because they expel from the body all morbid and
corrupt humors, the cause of disease in an easy
and NATURAL MANNER; and while they every
day

disease of every name is rapidly driven from the
body.
The above named INDIAN VEGETABLE PILLS, have
been three years before the American public; and
we can now say without fear of contradiction, that
of all the various medicines which have heretofore
been popular, not one has given such universal
satisfaction, OF obtained such a permanent hold
upon the affections the people. Not only do all
who use it invariably experience relief, and re-
commend it in the strongest terms but it has ef-
fected some of the most astonishing cures ever
performed by medicine.
Hitherto, very few ofthe numerous testimonials
which have been received in favor of this extraor
dinary medicine have been published, as the med
icine obtained its present great celebrity more by
its own intrinsic goodness than from extensive ad-
vertising. 1t has been deemed proper however to
offer the following opinions of the public press,
together with few extracts from letters ofAgents
merely to show, that the fame ofthe Indian Vege-
table Pills, is not confined to any one section, but
is rapidly extending itselfto every part ofthe Union

great celebrity in New England as well as other

ness from assaulting believers. They were
thought to be peculiarly eficacious in subdu-
ing the power of the Devil during storms,
and were always rung with ardor while the
wal of elements prevailed. The Dutch are
particularly fond of bells. In Amsterdam,
it is said, that a thousand bells are kept con.
stantly ringing to the no small edifcation OF
the native inhabitants, and the annoyance Of
foreigners. some Of whom, with delicate
nerves, are glad to escape as speedily as pos
slble. Every church and public building is
hung around with them in endless variety,
and they are kept Ginning and striking every
quarter of an hour the day through. On tho
State House, a performer is stationed to play
to the market people a superior sort of bell
music upon the car1llons. This is done by
a contrivance, similar to the keys of a piano
forte, which the carolloneur strikes with all
bis might. and though a Herculean task, often
with science and dexterity. The Russians
adopted bells in the tenth century. Their
famous bell at Moscow, weighing forty-three
thousand pounds, when put in motion, will
agitate the country around for4Omiles. These
facts will indicate to US, how little we know
Of bells in this country. We are not a mu-
steal people after this fashion, and long may
we remain in respect to bells, behind the good
people Of Amsterdam.

GRICULTURAL L.


In the Phallngr. a Fourier paper. publish
ed in Paris, Sept. 9th. Il discovery of 4 new
method Of growing wheat Is described. which
promises 10 be of great value IN this impor-
tant branch Of Agriculture. The process is
communicated TO the Paris print by Charles
Pollard and NJ. Bernard, who date their letter
at Brest. August. 184l.
We have not space for the details Of the
process, and the many scientific and inter
esting remarks made in the communicative
Of the gentlemen above named. and must
content ourselves with IN epifome. Wheat
is sown on hard dry land, without any tillacc
of the plough, harrow, or other instrument.
and simply covered with wheat straw one
inch thick. According 10 the theory Of
Messrs Pollard and Bernard. the wheat plant
derives its nourishment almost entirely, if
not exclusively. from air. wafer. heat. light
and electric influence, and not from the soil
in which it is grown. They saw
sTn order to make doubt impossible con
corning the mere secondary function ofmin-
eral earth in vegetable reproduction. twenty
grains nf wheat were snwn upon the surface
ola pane of glass and covered with some straw
alone, as in the other case"
Notwithstanding the excessive and pro,
longed drought the past season, the above
novel experiment has proved entirely success
full, having produced wheat of the finest quail
ity. They say:
.The straw was more than six feet high.
and in the ears were so, go, and even 80
grains of wheat of full development, the ad-
miraiion Of all who saw them, and parllcu-
larry those which grew upon the pane Of
glass, and which were quite as healthy and as
large as those which grew upon the common
earth. 1t must be observed, also, that there
was not the smallest particle of earth upon
the glass. and that the plants were left entire
" to themselves, without being watered or
attended to in any form whatever. from the
time of sowing to the time of reaping."
TIE rationale of this extraordinary pro-
cess is given in the following words:
sStraw beng a had conductor of heat and
a good conductor of electricity, maintains
the roo, of the plant in a medium iempera-
ture, and prevents the earth from being de-
prived entirely of moisture. The moisture
Of the cath, or the subsiratum being con,in-
ual, facilitates the gradual and constant alb
sorp,ion of carbonic acid gas from the sur
rounding atmosphere. and hydrogen and car
bon, the chief elements Of nourishment to
vegetables, are thus economical in regular
supplies where they are constantly required,
and pass into combination with oxygen from
the roots up to the stems and branches Of the
plants in which they are assimilated. and
the oxygen thrown off in the exhalation from

SINGULAR DlscovERY.-George Moore, the
U. S. Consul at Trieste, has written to tho
corresponding Secretary Of the National In
stitution. announcing the discovery Of a
river, in the immediate neighborhood Of
Trieste, and but q short distance from the
highway to Vienna. He says:
SAT about nine miles in a direct line to tho
east Of Trieste, the small river 'Recca" en-
tiers and disappears in the Grotto of ST. Cau-
tien.-At about II miles in a direct line to
the northwest of Trieste, and precisely
where the Highlands terminate, the river
'Trnavo" gushcs on, from the rocks, is navi-
gable almost to IFS source, and, at The distance
of about a quarter Of a mile, enters the sea-"
The newly discovered river is about nine
hundred feet beneath the surface of the earth,
and is a much larger body Of water than the
"Recca", though there is no doubt but that
it forms a part Of the newly discovered river.

A.party Of a ships crew being sent ashore

Of cutting wood for the ship, one Of the men,
having straved from the rest. was greatly
frightened by the appearance Of large lion
ess, who nude towards hin; she laid down at
his feet. and looked very earnestly, first 1t
him, and then at 4 tree a little distance off,
After repeating her looks several times, she
arose and proceeded on towards the tree,
looking back several times, seemingly wishing
the man to follow her. which he did; and up
on coming to the tree, he looked up and per-
cciveda huge baboon, with W young cubs
in her arms, which he supposed were the lion
esss. rs she crouched down like a cat, and
seemed to eye them very steadfastly; upon
which the man being afraid to ascend the tree,
hethought himself to cut the tree down; and
having his axe with him, he set 10 work, when
the lioness seemed more attentive to what he
WIS doing, upon the falling of the tree, she
sprang forward on the balloon. and tore him
in pieces, she then licked the cubs over and
over again. after which she returned to the
man. who wasgreatly frightened at seeing her
in such a rage with the baboon. but she came
and hwned round him, rubbing her head
against him in great fondness; and which
seemed to show her gratitude for the service
he had done her; she went 10 the cubs, and
taking one Of them up in her mouth, went
away with it, and returning SCOT afterward
for the other, she went away with that also;
when the mar made the best OF his way of to
the shore where he was taken aboard, and did
not get rid Of his fright for some time after.
