Doctor JAYNE's ExPECToRANT is the only
remedy that can arrest with certainty the va.
rlous pulmonary affections under which thou>
sands sink into the grave.
No one ever used this Expectorant, as d.
rected, without finding relief. 1t must, from
its composition, cure asthma, Bronchitis, In
famation of the Lungs and Throat, C0nghs,
Colds, Hopping Cough, Group, Consumption,

try it fairly, you will be compelled to say that

safe and speedy cure for Dvsentery, Diar.
rhea, Cholera Morbus, Summer Complaint,
Sick and Nervous Headache, Cramps, Dys-
pepsia, Sour Stomachs, &c. &c. At this sea
son of the year it is particularly necessary
that families and persons subject to these
complaints, should provide themselves with
it, to have il. at hand whenever needed; it.
VIII not only be the means of frequently a
voiding severe and facilitating attacks of ILL.,
ness, but has and will preserve many valua-

1t is one of the most efficient, pleasant and
safe compositions ever offered to the public
for the turc of the various diseases CT the

The highest testimonials have been recev-

FESHE most popular remedies of the pres
n ent day are those which cleanse and pL 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 tc Bleeding in diseases, are now, it is
hoped gone out of fashion, and Vegetable
Remedies will be soon the popular medicine
Then Brandreth's VegetaJle Universal Pills
will be used and appreciated. They are
known TO act beneficially on query part of the
body; being taken up by the chvie they pass
into the blood, which they purify; and it
should he remembered that they only remove
those parts from the blood which were the
catise of Inflammation or disease of ANY kind
Nothing is equal to Kidding the vtiated hu,
mors with a vegetable medicine of this kind,
which eighty -four years have proved never to
do injury, but always good
q 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 trouble; 50 with other affections. All
trouble is saved by using the BRANDRETH
PILLS, which cannot injure, and which can
not be overdone. Only use them in the com
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 bedridden, or premIturely 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.
Po FIJI IL j
which cannot be used without injury to the
body as Brandreth's Pills can. What are
they' Are they not limitations of the Bran
dreth Pills recommended in advertisements
stolen from DR.. Brandreth? Were they not
the genuine Brandreth Pills. But in conse.
quence of the new labels on the Brandreth
Pill boxes are they not obliged to come out un
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 =" Indian" and, in
fact, to nearly all the advertised pills of the
day? Shall the public trust their lives in the
hands of these unprincipled men? Surely
not
The Brandreth Pills gire strenM for weak
ness-they are liked best by those who have
taken the most of them. DIR. Rrandreth can
give personal reference to thousands who have
been restored from bed of sickness by their
use, when every other mems had proved en-
tirely unavailing. 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-if medicine 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 CUSTOMER.

A tall, raw-b oned disciple, standing
something under five feet six inches in
his stocking feet, pretty fair speci-
men of what Kentucky can do in the
way of growing men, strayed into our
office yesterday, and with very self
possessed kind of air, stalked around
The room with his hands in his breech-
es pockets, infinitely examining every
thing he laid his eyes on, and occasion

large enough to turn small grist mill,

ing apparently satisfied his curiosity,
he threw himself upon one of our stools

"See here stranger" said he, edo

ing aware of the motive which promp-
ted the inquiry, and not altogether fan :
cying the looks of our customer, in
case he should be belligerently inclined,
we paused for a moment before we an
swered, and ran over in our thoughts
whether we could have suffered any
thing to escape from our pen, which
could, by possibility have influenced
the gentleman; in which case we had
mentally determined to refer him to
our respected senior, as being entitled
TO that honor. But at length, feeling
that we had not transgressed, and at
the same time a console usness of the
dignity of our position coming over as,
we nodestly answered that we were

Whose valour and wisdom
Are stamp'd on the age!

Of those who have riyen

The lightning from heaven"
This weapon, oh Freedom:
Was drawn by thy son,
And it never was sheath'd
Till the battle was won!
No stain of dishonour
Upon it we see!
Twas never surrendered
Except to the free!
While Fame claims the hero
And patriot sage,
