in the neighborhood of Philadel phia, have
been cured since the first of Sept, last. In
Dyspepsia, rheumatism, Liver Complaint,

of children, they are unequalied by anything
ever prepared for the purpose, while for the
various diseases OF Females there Is no me-
dcne can compare with them. There is
more of them sold--they are in greater de-
mand than any ether pill-and when once
introduced in a family, they need no other
medicine. Each box containing Fifty Pills,
renders them the cheapest while they are
decidedly the best, as well as the mildest in
action. Of any nowi in the market.
The Editor of the "Cify Hem," thus
speaks of them:
lyr READER, you are suffering from fever
and ague, and you havevnever tried Wofs-
dens Vegetable Restorative Pills. Shake no
more. There is still hope for you--you may
yet be cured. Go, or send at once TO A.

are sovereign antidote for tins distressing
complaint.
Col. Forney Of TIE Pennsyioanian,
says:
WoRsDELL's PILLs.---This excellent family
medicine is daily winning new t-iumphs
over disease, and consequently in the high
road 10 public favor. In the removal of the
every day ills that flesh is heir to, we know
of no better compound. We heard the 9TH
er day of a desperate case of scrofulous e.
ruptions of the head and face being enirely
cured by them.
Du Sole of the "Iimes," says:
II The great popularity of Worsdel's
Vegetable Pills, is attributed TO the just mer-
it which they really possess. They have
been quietly gaining the fame they now
have, BY the force of their own virtues
The means usually employed to give eclai
to new remedies have not been adopted by
the proprietors. They have been content to
let their medicine speak for itself. 1t is now
doing it in every section of the country.

Their power over the above diseases is
not excelled, if equalled, by any other rep
aration in the United States, as the cures
attest, in many cases after skilful physicians
had failed.
These Bitters are worthy the attention OF
invalids. Possessing great virtues in the
rectifcation of diseases OF the Liver and las
ser glands, exercising the most searching
powers in weakness and affections of the di-
gestve organs, they are, withal, safe, cer-
tain and pleasant.

the "Camden Democrat, the best paper in

influence it exerts upon nervous prostratioR
is really surprising. II calms and stregthens
the nerves, bringing them into state oil re-

"Dr. Hoofand's Celebrated German Bitters
for the cure of Liver Complaint, Jaundice,
