THE TRUTH SOMETIMES NOT FOUND OUT
a#a UNTIL TOO LITE.

Ha UNTIL TOO LATE.
OUCH is often the in regard to persons taking
~ medicine. They are induced by plausible rea-
soning false representation and doctrines to employ
medicines that so far from being adapted to their
disease or sickness, absolutely increase the symp-
toms, destroy the constitution, rack the whole
system, and Bring on gradual decline, terminating
in death; previous to the fatal termination, however,
bu unfortunately too late,) the truth is found out
that the pills. mixtures, SIC. they have been taking
were composed of the most powerful and dangerous
ingredients prepared too by persons knowing nothing
Of disease or the nature of the medicines they recon-
mend, depending altogether upon the general doc.
trine of such imposters,'' that their medicines will
kill or curen Be advised, then, if you find it ne
cessary to take some medicine for purifying the blood
and cleansing the bowels, to take nothing but Dr.
Ledy's Justly and deservedy ceebrted SARSAPA-
RlLi.A BLOOD PILLS, the only pills containing
Sarsaparlla in the their compositionthe safest and
best as well as the most ecctua that be taken.
Old and young, at all times, without regard to
weather. may take them without fear of taking cold
and without restraint from occupation or usual course
of living. Upwards of 1000 certificates have been
published various times, of their efficacy. More
than 100000 boxes have been sold in Philadelphia in
twelve months These facts go to prove their value,
or so many never would be sold in so short time,
in place where they are manufacturers this how
ever arises in part from the fact that the manufac
turer of them (Dr Leidy) is well known at home as
regular physician and apothecary, knowing the true
nature of diseases and Of the medicines he recon-
mcnds, attested by the most celebrated physicians,
among whom are DIR. Nathaniel Chapman, DIR. VIM
Gibson, Dr. w. +. Horner, DR.. Samuel jackson, Dr.
Robert Hare, DR. P. s. Physic, DIR. T. c. James, DR..
w. p. Devices, DR.. J. Redman Coke, Rev. w. H.
Delaney, Robert Adrian, LID, sc. SIC.
Orders for DIR. Leidy's BLOOD PILLS are daily
received from the North, South East, and West and
the most attering accounts from every direction, of
their unparalleled success. A single box (25 cents)
may save as many dollars, if taken in time, instead
of the dangerous medicines now forced on the pub
lic and by taking which persons SO often lind 1t ne
cessary at last to take Dr. Leidy's Blood Pills, to
counterfeit their injurious consequences.
They are prepared only, and sold Wholesale and
Retail, at DIR. Leidys Health Emporium, No. l9l,
North Second street, below Vine street, Philadelphia.

IN 1T CANNOT BE DENIED,
J. OR truth is mighty, that DR.. Leidy's SARSAPA-
RILIA is the pures strongest, and most eficacious
of any other preparation Of Sarsaparla that is made
1t is warranted to be stronger than six bottles of
most Others stronger than four of some and stronger
than three Of the strongest prepared by any other in
the United States. 't'th
DR.. Leidy's Sarsaparilla is recommended by all
respectable physicians in preference to any other.
All who have ever used it have derived more benefit
from one bottle than three to ten of others and
those Who after having used other preparations with
out benefit will use DIR. Leidy's win soon be con-
ynced las thousands have already been) of the fore
going assertion
The apparatus with which DR.. Ledy's extracts,
used in his preparation of Sarsaparlaa prepared
the only one in the United States, imported by Dr.
eidy himself from the celebrated house of Pelleter
s. Caventou, in Paris, at great expense, and is ca
pable of extracting the medicinal virtues Of Sarsa-
parilla and other roots more efectuay than by any
other process. -. ss
AS several hundred certificates Of remarkable
cures and recommendations from clergymen and
physicians have been from time to time published in
