THYRs has long existed a public demand for an
effective purgative pill which could be relied on as
sure and perfectly safe in its operation. This has
been prepared to meet that demand, and an extern
sive trial of its virtues has conclusivcly shown with
what success it accomplishes the purpose designed.
1t is easy to make a physical pill, but not easy to
make the best Of all pills one which should have
none of the objections, but all the advantages, of
every other. This has been attempted here, and
with what success we would respectfully submit to
the public decision. 1t has been unfortunate for
the patient hitherto that almost every p%urgatiye
medicine is acrimonious and irritating to the bow
els. This is not. Many of them produce so much
elipirg pain and rcyulsion in the system as to more
tian counterbalance the good TO be derived from
them. These pills produce no irritation or pain,
unless it arise from a previously existing obstruc-
ton or arrangement in the bowels. Being purely
vegetable, no harm can arise from their use in any
quantity but it is better that any medicine should
be taken judicieusly. Minute directions for their
use in the several diseases to which they are APP
plicahlc are given on the box. Among the COM
plants which have been speedily cured by them, we
may mention Liver Complaint, in its various forms
)f J~auNdice, Indigestion, Languor and Loss of APP
petite, Listlcssness, Irritability, Bilious Headache,
Bilious Fever, Fever and Aguc, Pain in the Side
and Loins for, in truth, all these are but the con-
sequence of diseased action in the liver. AS an
apcricnt, they afford prompt and sure relief in Cos
tivcncss, Piles, Collie, Dysentery, Humors, Scrof-
ula and Scurvy, Colds Will soreness of the body,
Ulcers and %impurity of the blood in short, any
and every case where a purgative is required.
They have also produced some singularly sue
ccssful cures in rheumatism, Gout, Dropsy, Gravel,
Frysipclas, Palpitation of the Heart, Pains in the
Back, Stomach, and Side. They should be freely
taken in the spring of the year, to purify the blood
and prepare the system for the change of seasons.
An occasional dose stimulates the stomach and
bowels into healthy action, and restores the appe-
tite and vigor. They purify the blood, and, by their
stimulant action on the circulatory system, reno
vate the strength of the body, and restore the
wasted or diseased energies of the whole organism.
Hence an occasional dose is advantageous, even
though no serious arrangement exists; but I'M
necessary dosing should never be carried too far,
as every ~purgative medicine reduces the strength,
when taken to excess. The thousand cases in which
a physic is required cannot be enumerated here, but
they suggest themselves to the reason of every
body and it is confidently believed this pill will
answer a better purpose than any thing which has
virtues are once known, the public will no longer
doubt what remedy to employ when in need Of a
cathartic medicine.

THIS remedy has won for itself such notoriety
from its cures Of every variety of pulmonary disease,
that it is entirely unnecessary to recount the evil
dences Of its virtues in any community where it
has been employed. So wide is tho field of its use.
fulncss, and so numerous the cases of its cures,
that almost every section of the country abounds
in persons publicly known, who have been restored
from alarming and even desperate diseases of the
lungs by its use. When once tried its superiority
over every other medicine of its kind is too appar-
ent to escape observation, and where its virtues are
known, the public no longer hesitate what antidote
to employ 6r the distressing and dangerous atfec-

TIE WRAPPINGsO OF THE MUMMIEs.-A news.
paper came to us yesterday, from Syracuse,
New York. made from rags imported directly
from Egypt, and which had once wrapped with
in their folds the mummllied remains of the de-.
sccndants of MIzraim. They were imported by
Mr.. Il. w. Ryan, paper manufacturer at Mar
cellus Falls, and he thinks them quite as rood
as the general run of English and French ra rs-
The paper is certainly Of very good quality, ra-
ther superior TO that generally used in this coun-
try for newspaper purposes. What it costs the
publisher does not say, but as there are thou
sands of bodies in Egypt wrapped up in linen
folds, it is quite probable that the rags are as
chcaply imported as those from any other conn.
try. 1t is little curious that a nation dead
for thousands of years, and which could not
perpetuate knowledge of its own language,
though en9raven upon granite, should furnish
from It's grave u material by which living ma
ton is enabled TO cmbalm its history in urint,
and spread knowledge of its progress in arts
and sciences, its politics and its religion over
