All impurities in the blood yield to their happy

,age over most other purgatives, that while they
operate gently, they produce neither cos,veness de-
bility, or too great excitement.
Whenever there is a predispositon to receive
disease from marsh effluvia, OF from too copious
use Of ardent Spirits or from vitated state of the
bile, these pills will assuredly counteract it,
They are highly recommended TO travellers by

PROSPECTUS OF THE SEVENTEENTH VOLUME
TINE price of the DEMocRATIc REVIEW has
i heretofore been too highnot for its size, cost,
and character, but for the means of tens of thou
sands Of readers who would be glad to receive it,
and among whom it is highly desirable that ii
should circulate. For the purpose, therefore, of
largely widening the range Of its usefulness, and of
multiplying the numbers Of those to whom it may
be accessible, it has been determined, simultaneous
ly with the great reduction in the expense Of the
POSTAGE to reduce its subscription price Also from
fire TO only three dollars; and when several unite
in subscription, to low SO so, or even to So 80
per annum.
This very large reduction in the receipts (accom-
panied with but comparatively small diminution
of its expenses Involves of course an entire sacri-
fee Of profit upon il, unless compensated by vast
multiplication of its subscribers. There will be at
the outset only small reduction in its number of
pages soon to be restored to its old number, with
out increase Of price, when the anticipated success
ofthe experiment shall justify it.
The portraits of distinguished democrats will be
continued, engraved in better and more costly style
than heretofore.
The postage will hereafter, for any distance, be
only fire and half cents it has heretofore been for
over 100 miles, eighteen cents.
We look for an extension Of circulation to be
rcckoned by lens Of thousands, the result and COM
pensation Of this great reduction of price. Every
friend of the work. and Of the democratic principles
and cause, is confidently appealed to, to exert him
self with active interest to procure It subscribers;
both to extend its usefulness and to carry il
cesslly through the crisis of this great reduction Of
its receipts.
Those who have paid in advance for the coming
year, will receive il, at the reduced rate, for year
and half.
