DYSPEPSIA CURED.


BENNISGToN, VI. Dec 5lh, 1843
Dear Sir:-I wish you to add my testiIno
ny to the host of others that you have, in favor
OF your valuable Pills. In the year of 1888,
was attacked with that disagreeable complaint
the DYSPEPSIA, which so affected me that
could not take the least particle Of food, with.
out the most unpleasant and uncomfortable
sensations in my chest head and bowels NV
chest was SO sure that could not bear the
slightest pressure without giving me pain. My
health was most miserable; many physicians
told ME they thought was in the consumption,
aud that if + did not give up my business and
change climate, could live bui short time.
Ttried every thing in the shape of medicine,
and consulted the most skilful physicians, but
found no permanent relief: Ibecame disconr.
aged, gloomy, sad, and sick of life and, proba.
bly,, ere this. shond have been in nv grave,
had not fell in with your precious medicine,
A friend ofmne. who had been sick.of the same
complaint advised me to'try your pills; but,
having tried some other medicines without Oh.
tanning any relief, had but little faith that your
Pills would be Of benefit to me; but at his
earnec, solicitations, procured box and com:
menced taking them.
The first box produced little OF no effect and
Ibegan to despond, for fear that your medicine
would prove like others have taken; hut nv
friends argued that one was NOT fair trial, and
purchased n second, and before I had taken
the whole box began TO experience change;
the pain i'll my chest besa,. To be less painful;
and my food did not distress me as much as for.
merly. Invent on taking them until had ia.
ken six boxes, and my DYSPEPSIA was GONE,
and my expectation of an early death vanished.
and felt "new creature" / was then, and
am now, q healthy man. have never since
been troubled with the Dyspepsia. have nd,
ministered your Pills to the members of my
family, and to my friends, aud in all cases with
good success. You can publish this if it will
be of any use to you. lam, dear Sir, truly
yours,

AN EXTRA SESSION OF CONGRESS There is
good deal of speculation relative to an extra ses-
sion of Congress, on the accession of Mr.. Polk to
the Presidency. Some suppose that if the question
of Texas, and all other important issues, are unde
termned and undecided by the present Congress,
that Mr.. Polk will be induced to call an extra ses-
sion in the middle OF summer, in order to settle
these questions. Others again imagine that Mr.
Polk will do no such thing that having the exam
pie of the fatal issue of the extra session of Mr.
Van Buren,, and also OF that called by General Har-
rison, that he will prudently wait for the regular
session of Congress, to meet in December next. If
such should be his course, and nothing be done in
the present session with respect to them, the an.
nexation-the modification of the tariff-and the
accomplishment Of other measures supposed to
have been decided by the popular voice in the recent
election-may not only be postponed, but endan-
gered very much by the delay
