SUCCESS OF BRANDRETH PILLS.-A lady
to whom can refer, gwen up to die; her physi-
clans assured her friends that nothing could be done
for her, that she dying. What was the condition
OF this person! She had been under best phys-
clans for months; her affection cancer on tho
right breast and consumption. A blister wished
10 be raised; one was applied to the neck it made no
impression whatever. Other parts of the body were
tried, and with no better success there sufi-
suffering terrible agony, and she deter mined, as
her doctors gave her no hopes, to try what BRAN
| DRETH'S PILLS would do for her. She took eigh-
the first days she continued them in large doses
| and in Two weeks she was so much better that she
could walk about. DESTROYS OF testing whether bIis-
ter could be raised, she had put her leg design
ing to draw down the putrid humors the blister raised
ionshing to him to the blister, as il was her
| at all, living, and SO much recovered. What those
Pills could be made of, and purge they had DONE
and not kill but absolutely sustain the vital powers
was more than he could comprehend Here in New
York. in the centre OF our city, the greatest thing has
been done in The way of absolute life saving, unknown
in ancient modern times. till Brandreth's Pills were
known. Two months ago and this person dying

now her consumption is entirely cured, and her

medicine Can this be equalled by any other med
cine in the word in the good it effects? l answer no

THE State CoNvENTIoN.--It will be seen that
Mr.. Fuqua yesterday moved TO take up the motion
submitted on Saturday by Mr.. Randolph, of Abe
marie, and laid on the table, for the reconsider
alton of the Compromise; but the motion failed by
the decisive vote of So to Sc.
1t appears to be the general impression that the
Convention will bring its labours to close dur
ing the latter part of the present week. This
intelligence, we know, will be received with the
liveliest satisfaction throughout the length and
breadth of the State.
