T is well known that diseases often arise from
foul and disordered state Of the stomach and
bowels; and if this condition is promptly attended
TO and relieved, that health will be Immediately
restored. And nothing more efeetual can be re-
sorted to than two or three good active doses Of
purgative medicine; and there is nothing more
suitable than pills of proper character. The
public have in these vegetable pills the article pre-
sented them, which possesses the qualities cali
culated to render the most important service in
cleansing the alimentary canal; they will operate
with sufficient force. and still with safety
there is no ingredient in them that will render
them dangerous as to taking cold, or cause any
particular care in diet necessary. They have been
used by the proprietor with abundant success in
an extensive medical practice for many years.
He can therefore confidently recommend them
to the public patronage. 1t is not vainy pretend
ed that they will cure all diseases, but they will
answer the purposes for which they are offered as
we'll as any purgative medicine that can be produ
ced; and by being taken when that description oi
medicine is needed, may save person from threa'
loss of time. A person can take them without
any interruption of his customary employment.

Spencer's vegetable pills; and found them safe
and active purgative, attended with beneficial re-
| suits, and we therefore recommend them to notice

As q Nc1CSl1qDe7..

AS weekly newspaper, it is believed that the
"UNIIED STATES SATURDAY POSTn is
not equalled by any weekly literary paper now
existing. 1t contains full and well digested ac-
count OF every matter of news up the hour of
printing. This is great desideratum to those
who take only single weekly paper, and which
means less extensive than those connected with
the establishment cannot accomplish. The nGm-
Der of persons employed, and the steam-power
engaged in the publication Of his paper, altogeth-
er surpasses that Of any other of similar char
acter.
In short, the UNITED STATES SATURDAY
POST is considered in all respects equal, if not
superior, to any of its class while in price il is
far cheaper. Instead of three dollars year, which
is the price of the two mammoth newspapers of
New York, and the two Of Boston, the subscrip-
ton of the "UNITED STATES SATURDAY
POSTn is only Two Dollars a year, per
single copy. GEO. R. GRAHAM & co.
