HEALTH.
YYTIIESE extra rdinary Pills are composed %
Y plants which grow spontaneously Oh our
own soil; and are therefore, better adapted 10 our
consti tntions, than medicines concocted from
,t6,eigu drugs, however well they may be com
bounded; and as TiIEINDlAN VEGETABLE
PILLS are founded upon the principle Chat the
human body is in truths

The above named INDIAN VEGETABLE
PILLS, have been three years before TIC Amer
can public; and we can row say without fear
Of contradictions that Of all the various medicines
which have heretofore Loen popular not one has
given such universal satisfaction or obtained
such permanent hold upon the affections oftho
people. Rot only do all who Use it, invariablo
experience relief, and recommend it in the strong
est terms; but it has affected some Of the most
astonishing cures ever performed by medicine
Hitherto, very few Of the numerous testimo-
malls which have been received in favor of this
extraordinary medicine have been published, as
the medicine obtained its present great celebrity
more by its own intrinsic goodness than from cX-
tonsive advertising. 1t has been deemed proper
however to offer the following opinions of the
public press, together, with Il few extracts from
letters Of AGENTS, merely to show, that the fame
70 tho Indian Vegetable Fills, is not confined to
any ono section, but is rapid by extending itsel
TO every part of the Union.

Woman's Afection.-The following
exquisite anecdote, illustrative of woma"'s
undying affection, is from late work pub
lished IN Great Britain, styled English
Maiden:" -.
''Sir Robert Barclay, who commanded
the British squadron in the battle of Lake
Erie, was horribly mu'iaicd by thew"nu'!s
he received in the action, having lost his
right arm, and one of his legs. Previous:
:ly I'd his leaving England he was engaged
to young lady, to whom he was tcnderly
attached. Feeling acu'ely. on his return:
that he was mere wreck, he sentsa friend
to the young lady, informing her of his
mn,ilated condition, and generously Of
fering to release her from her enga cement.
"TelI him." replied the noble girl, that
will ioyfully marry him, if he has only
body enough left to hold his soul"
