IL Pills have now spread over the vast ex-
tent Of our country, until their virtues are
every where known and appreciated; while
tho many astonishing cures which they have
and are constantly achieving, has attracted
the attention of our most intelligent citizens,
and numbers of the Medical Profession have
come forward and endorsed the ''Conquerors

equal, being destitute OF all mineral medicines.
They can be administered at all times and un-
der all circumstances with the happest results
and with the fullest assurance that a cure is
certain to follow, if a cure be possible. Other

A CERTAIN CURE FOR PILES.
DIR. UPHAM's VEGETABLE ELECTUARY
UAN INTERNAL REMEDY.n
TNHE Vegetable Pile Electuary, invented by
Il DR.. A. Upham, distinguished physician
OF New York city, is the only really success
tul remedy for that dangerous and distressing
complaint, the PILES, over offered to the A
merican public.
Mark this; it is an internal remedy--hot al
external application, and will cure any case o
Piles, either bleeding or blind, internal and ex
ternal, and probably the only thing that will
There is no mistake aboutit 1t is a positive
cure-speedy and permanent. 1t is also con
venient medicine to take and improves the gen
eral health in remarkable manner.
Each box contains twelve doses, at 8 cent
per dose. 1t is very mild in its operation, ant
may be taken in cases of the most acute in
1ammation without danger. All external ap
plcations are in the highest degree disagreed
BILE, inconvenient, and offensive; and from tn;
very nature of the disease, temporary in thei
effects. This medicine attacks the disease a
its source. and removing the cause renders the
cure certain and permanent.
@ 1NFLAMMAToRY DISEASES.
Although the Electuary was originally pre-
pared for the cure of piles, yet it has proved
itself to be medicine far superior to all others
IN all diseases OF an inf1ammator character
with determination of blood to any particular
part or organ. In inflammation and congcs
ton Of the liver and spleen; inflammation, sore
ness and liberation of the stomach, bowels
kidneys. and bladder; in infammatory and
mercurial rheumatism, it is the best medicine
ever discovered.
TO MARRIED LADIES.
Married Ladies are almost invariably subject
to that painful and njurious disease, the Piles
with consequent Inflammation of the stomach
bowels and spine, weakness of the back. flow
of blood to the head, &c. The electuary is
perfectlysafe for pregnant ladies. and the most
usefnl cathartic that can possibly be used, as
1t will not only remove the piles and all in.
aammatory diseaseswithout pain or irritation,
but will ensure an easy time, a safe delivery,
and sound constitution in the offspring.
CURE FOR LIFE SECURED.
The Electuary contains no mineral Medi.

powerful and irritating purgative. No fear OF
taking cold wbileunder its influence, no change
