HENHESE Pills are no longer among those

the tide Of experiment" and now stand higher
in reputation, and are becoming more exten-
sively used than any other medicine ever pre-.
pared. They have been inlrodnced into every
place where il has been found possible to carry
them, aud there are few towns, or villages,
but contain some remarkable evidences of
their good effects. But it is not necessary 10

Gus preparations put on sale almost every day,
of doubtful efficacy. To satisfy The ,corid Of
the inestimable worth of this Medicine, [
would simply observe that, it has been long
used by some Of the leading lights of the pro-
fession in their extensive practice, and is now
prepared with great care, and upon scientific
and chemical principles, for general use, by
the present proprietor ONLY. The 1mputation
