THNtlE most popular remedies of the pres
N ent day are those which cleanse and p, ri
fy the blood, and which are known to be in
nocent in their qualities. Such remedies as
Anthony. Mercury, Zinc, and the having re
course to bleeding in Diseases are now, it is
hoped gone out of fashion, and Vegetable
Remedies will be soon the popular medicine
Then BrandretA's Vegetable Universal PHI
will be used and appreciated. They are
known to act benefcially on euerv part of III,
body; being taken up by the chyie they pass
into the blood, which they purify; and il
should he remembered that they only remove
those parts from the blood which were the
cause of inflammation or disease of any kind.
Nothing is equal to Kidding the vitated hu
mors with vegetable medicine of this kind.
which eighty four years have proved never to
do injury. but always good.
Ur IMPURITY OF BLOOD causes pain
and occasions disease upon that part of the
body which from any cause may be weakest
Thus in persons whose blood is impure, should
they have cold, the impure matter would
settle upon their lungs, and consumption be
the troubles 50 with other affections All
trouble is saved by using the BRANDRETH
PILLS, which cannot iniure, and which can
mencement of any disease. use them in full
doses and you will be up and well, while
those who are too wise to take such simple
medicine, are bed ridden, or premuturely end
their days. The Brandreth Pills are only be-
ginning to be appreciatedi they are found to
never deceive they are the only internal
medicine required in this climate.
Be careful Of pretended universe purgatives,
which cannot be used without injury to the
body as Brandretll's Pills can. What are
they? Are they not limitations of the Bran
dreth Pills recommended in advertisements
stolen from DR.. Brandrethl Were they not
originally counterfeit pills purporting to be
the genuine Brandreth Pills. But in conse
quence of the new labels on the Rrandreth
Pill boxes are they not obliged to come out I'm
der other co!ors equally false Observe the
makers and travelling agents Are they not
men whom DR.. Brandreth hath cast off, not
for good conduct truly Is not this true as
applicable to the pretended '' h1dian," and, in
fact, to nearly all the advertised pills of the
day. Shall the public trust their lives in the
hands OF these unprincipled mem Surely
not.
The Brandreth Pills gire strenh for weak.
ness-they are liked best by those who have
taken the most of them. DIR. Brandreth can
give personal reference to thousands who have
been restored from bed ofsickness by their
use, when every other mems had proved en-
tirely unavaling. These cases are continual
ly occurring in this city and in every part Of
the Union. Get Brandreth's Pills if YOU are
not perfectly healthy, and they will restore
you-ifmedicine can do it-because they ex-
pei those humors which are the cause of i'm
purity of the blood. and at the same time the
body is strengthened by the operation of this
most excellent medicine.

A BRIGHT CHILD.

A New Yorker who edits a paper
was lately travelling in New Jersey
while in that state, he came across the
brightest chap, for his size and age, he
ever saw, torturing ex-tadpoles in a
spring by the roadside, altogether out
Of sight and hearing of any human ha-
bitation. He says:
Man is a talking animal, and he
must talk. SO we, not having had an
opportunity of exchanging word with
fellow mortal for two hours, couldn't
resist the temptation of talking to this
little bare-headed and bare footed
brat.
Where do you live, my son" inqui-
red we, just as he had stirred up big
bull-trog from the mud with mullen
stalk.
Il dom, live nowhere only home
Where is your homer"
sOver The hill next house to Mr..
Wagner's.
Have you parents liying''
What's them?'

mother?'

NOT TO BE oUIzZED.

Psalmanazar endeavored to impose
upon the public, by pretending to be
native Of an island he called Formo-
sa. One day, as he was enlarging up
on its beauties, a gentleman who had
no great relish for his flights Of fancy,
remarked to him:
If this island be in the latitude you
describe, the sun must shine perpen-
dicularly down the chimneys, and put
all the fires out
ooh, sir, said Psalmanazar, sthe in
habitants are aware of this inconven
fence, and SO all the chimneyS are
built odliquely.'
