TNHIS preparation is particularly recommended to
Il persons of weak habit, and TO such as reside in
low situations, where the nervous system is in gen.
era less relaxed. The addition of certain in

the bark, as to render this efcacious remedy most
paatable cordia thus peculiarly adapting il to con-
quer that repugnence which most persons expert
ence after taking for some time bitter potions as il
combines the greatest efficacy with highly agree-
able flavor. As preventive Of the ague il has

PROSPECTUS OF THE NEW LIBRARY
i OF LAW AND Equity, under the direc-
ton of Francis J. Troubat, ESQ.,, of Philadelphia;
Hon. Ellis Lewis, of Lancaster; and Wilson Nc
Candless, esq, of Pittsburgh.
This work contains the best productions of Eng
lish law authors without regard to priority Of claim
the part of any American publisher. Such books
are now VIGOROUSLY too dear The reason is, that
as fast they appear, they become monopolies in
the hands of booksellers in the Atlantic cities I'm
der the plea of right, acquired by the addition of
notes of American decisions, the latter claim an UNI
divided title to those works, and set burdensome
price on them. The publishers of the work now
offered TO the profession throughout the Unon will
respect such titles, but will reprint the standard
British law books fast they emanale from the
London market. Should new editions of the works
Of such writers as Starke, the Chittys, Stephen,
and Archbold, appear, they shall also be included;
and digests Of equity and law decsions--works
which have been studiously kept out of the Law
Library published at Phiadelphia--shall have a
place in the proposed one, together with every
new valuable English treatise on chancery or COM
mon law.
nF This work will be issued monthly, in num-
bers Of l60 pages, printed on fine white paper, end
good new long primer type at seven dollars per an
mum, payable half yearly.

DIR. DYOTT's ANTl-BILloUS PILLS.

A 5 family medicine, mild and gentle purga-
IA tive, and purifier Of the blood. The general
use Of these celebrated pills throughout the United
States for these forty years past and the strong
concentrations they have acquired from all classes
of our fellow-citzens, places them in much more
elevated situation in public estimation, than any
other remedy which has heretofore been introduced
The following are among the many diseases for
which DR.. Dyott's celebrated pills deservcdly
distinguished for curing. BY their counteracting
properties in removing the bile from the stomach,
they prevent and the bilious fever; chills, or
ague and fever spring and fall feyers; yellow fever;
bilious choc; pleurisy; dysentery worms; bilious
vomiting; sick and foul stomach
BY cleansing the bowels and stomach from all i'm
purites, they restore the loss of appetite,
natulency, the headache, habitua costivcness,
colds, coughs, asthma epileptc fits, hypochondria,
hysterical complaints, strnnguary, gravel, DC.
BY general and copious use, they will be found
very beneficial in curing the rhe0matism and govt,
lumbago or pains in the back.
All impurities in the blood yield TO their happy
effects, whether proceeding from constitutional all
ment, or from indiscreet intemperancc.
These celebrated pills have been used to very
great advantage in curing the dyspepsia, ndigcs-
ton, bronchitis, liver complaint, DC.
They are an infalible medicine for female com
plants generally, and especially for removing those
distractions which the Of their ailments
at certain periods; they possess the eminent advan-
operate gently, they produce neither costveness, de-
bity, or too great excitement.
Whenever there is a predisposition 10 receive
disease from marsh efluvia, or from too copious
use of ardent Spirits from vitiated state Of the
bile, these pills will assuredly counteract it.
They are highly recommended to travellers by
sea or land, and may be made use of with safety
without change of diet, and in situations where no
exercise can be used They will be found particu-
larly valuable for preventing diseases incidental to
hot climates they deterge and cleanse viscid humors
open Instructions, and promote the secretion OF
good bile, operate as an easy cathartic, power
full diurctic, and as diaphoretc.
Dr. Dyot, under the strong conviction of the
power Of his pills TO relieve the afflicted, recon-
mends the use of them to those who are in health
as well as the afflicted, at leace fortnight, du-
ring the spring and summer months, in which he
feels assured those who attend to his advice @iIl
find the benefit they seek.
