q UGAR-COATED PILLS.-Dr. G. Benjamin
- ''Smih's sugar-coated Indian vegetable pills
are now the favorte medicine of this country
Many new remedies have been discovered and puff
ed into brief noloriety, but we have no knowledge
of a medicine combining so much that is efficaciou
and pleasant as these pills. The idea of taking
pills heretofore has been nauseatng in the highes
degree. Much credit is due DR.. Smith for bringing
out this valuable medicine We know of more thar
twenty cures Of diseases considered by other doe
tors as dangerous-one case of confirmed dyspepsia
in particular, which came under our own immediate
knowledge
We have tried them ourselves, and in our family
for headache, colds and pains in the side and breast
and we can say we never saw their equal, both To-
pleasantness and efficacy.
One word in reference to those wholesale murder
ers, who, not having honesty enough TO work 70
an Independent livelihood, counterfeit or imitat
such valuable remedies as Dr. Smiths pills. "Su
gar-coated" pills originated with Dr. e. Benjamin
Smith, who applied for patent long before any
body else ever heard Of them; therefore, it will b
that all other pills claiming to be sugarcoa
ed" are spurious and dangerous; and we advis
those who buy TO examine carefully the box 70
themselves, and see that DR.. Smiths name is on it,
OATH BEFORE THE MAYOR.

G. BENJAMIN Smith, within named, being dull
sworn, deposes and says that he is citizen of tn
United States, and resides in the city of New York
and that he is the original inventor Of the within
mentioned "sugar coated pills." and that, to hi
knowledge or belief, the said pill has never bee
manufactured and sold by any person except b.
himself or by his authority; and that the state
ments contained in the within paper are true.
