EEBREW PLASTER,

HNHIS Recipe, obtained of an old Jew by trav-
eer in the Eastern countries, bids fair to be
of immense value to the Western world. Since
this plaster has been introduced into America,
every other plaster, salve, ointment or lima
ment has been discontinued by all who have had an
opportunity of testing the superior medical virtues
Of the Jew Davids or Hebrew Plaster. Truth,
though simple is powerful, and will prevail with
enlightened community, over all the puffings and
fictitious affidavits with which the world is flooded
The sterling worth of this plaster is recognised, ap
precated, and its use sanctioned by the highest
classes of society. One simultaneous burst of ap-
probation arises from the thousands who have used
it, which shows, that when a remedy possesses high
ly intrinsic merits like this it does rot fail of
ceiving the patronage of our intelligent public.
To be had at the stores of John r. Moyer, Blooms
aurg, Grim, Deer q Der, Washington, A. Miller,

PERSIAN PILLS.

HT is now settled point with oil those who have
used the Vegetable Persian Pills, that they
are pre-eminently the best and most efticaclous
Fdmily.nedicine that has been yet used in Ameri-
ca. If every family could become acquainted with
their sovereign power over disease, they would
keep them and be prepared with sure remedy to
apply on the first appearance of disease, and then
how much distress would be avoided and money
saved, as well as lives of thousands who are hurfieu
out of lime by negecting disease in its first stages
or by not being in possession of remedy which
they can place dependence on. 0JTAll who wish
to guard against sickness, should use the Persian
pills freely, when needed no injury can ensue If
used from youth to old age, when taken according
to the directions.

bers Of that Church of treating with unnatural cruelty
an aged mother, have made Il report which is official

any statement of such unnatural cruelty; and for the
honor Of human nature trust such another affair
may never occur. Robert Richardson, Mrs. Crosby,
Mrs Richardson Mrs Walker, and Samuel Stibbs are
the names Of the black hearted creatures-who seem
TO have evinced humanity and cruelty without

which will forever attach to them, punishment
