BEWARE OF COUNTERFEITsl

a LMOST every system of medicines that the
IN world has ever produced-and there have
been many of them-has proved less oepehclai
than the practice which leaves to nature the per
Torrance of cure. The true philosophy of aii:
ease, and its treatment, seem never TO have been
discovered by the legalzed profession, or legazed
empiricisln. But, they have allowed the MOST
beautiful and important science which the human
mind can cultivate to lie buried under crude and
undigested mass Of materials, collected through
MANY centuries by superficial observers and WIS.,
ionafy theologists The language OF medicine
has been vaghe and inaccurate, often. used to OBJ
scure the most simple truths, and TO glgc 70 mere
fiction Of the imagination the appearance oil reality
So mysterious has been the practice of physIc IN
all ages that even philosophers ofreputatIon nave.
regarded medicine as deceitful art, the empire Oh
which was founded, and its existence continued
solely on the crednilty and weakness of man. Ihey
ell us that nature has placed in all her works the
means OF restoring order, and when these means
are inefficient, the pretended resources of medical
men are wholly useless. The secret springs Of the
human frame are, say these philosophers, entirely
too much yelled from our view 10 ascertain the true
causes of their arrangement. Opinions like these
| have been spread abroad among intelligent men,
They were the natural result OF the system OF En-
pircism that existed in the profession. Some en-
| iightened physicians were induced to regard med-
| cine in much the same light.
I THE BRANDRETH PILLS are the longest
known, have been iaost considered, and are the
best understood Of all tie medicines of the day
Their action harmonizes with the condition OF the
body. LIT the bowels are merely costivc-h II IS
tnly irreg'ariy of diet that requires correc-
ton, two, three four pills, taken at night, or any
time during the day, Will seldom be felt after they
are swallowed, until they produce their own effect.
But should there be crude matters in the circ.r-
lation, or any nndigested food in the, bowels, or
putrid acrid bile in the region of the heart or
liver, or in any part of the viscera, then the pills
of Dr. Brandreh may occasion some slight incon-
venience but nothing in comparison to the grea,
good they dc in removing the Death principle GU.
Of the system. For when We born, we bring
into the world Life principle, and also that
which must terminate our being.

MELANCHOLY ANNOUNCEMENT
"IE.se be the Heavens in black

"Hsng be the Heauens in black
The good people of this ancient borough were
surprised on Friday morning last, on hearing an
nounced the demise of that distinguished per-
sonage "Independence," the great Pathfinder
of the Corporation. Ever since the appearance
of "A Citizenn the deceased gave signs OF ateak-
ness and extreme mental debility, but it was not
anticipated that anything fata would resalt from
cause SO natural yet it is SO, ard the mean
choly announcement is now made that "lnde-
pendencen is no more! He has finished the
business he was engaged in, or rather, the L'sl'
ness has finished him, and he has gone TO his
rest Ii is thought the explosion Of certain s'ru-
mors3 founded on fact, and which had been
confined for some days, tended greatly to in
crease the anent with which he was afflicted,
and the sufferer knocked under" t2aus ternina-
ting d career which was destined to rival ''all
Greek or Roman fame" We are no believers
in the metempsychosis; yet there is pleasing
fancy connected with that ancient error which
may afford some consolation to the friends OF
the distinguished deceases-it is, that the dead
may inhabit another human body, and still re-
main on terra frma and thus "lndePendence"
may not be lost to the world-he may re-appear
in the character of q Reformer, driving away
from the polls every man who is not able to
| read
eff you have tears TO shed prepare to shed
them now" Our friend has fallen-falien, fight
ing mantully for the ''loaves and fishes" He
met soldiers death, and with s'shsrp stick'
in his hand his noble form is PROSTATE, "back to
the ground and feet to the foe" he lies at full
length
"Like warrior taking his rest"
RequiescAr IN pace
The body will lie in State for three days, when it
will be inferred in the ditch after which sharp
sticks and fifteen shilling pieces Will be dis
tributed among the mourners. sic transit gloria
