BRANDRETH'S PILLS
PURIFY THE BLOOD.

Continued pain or uneasinesS in any organ
is generally cured by one or more doses OF
Brandreth's Pills. Thirty years personal ex-
perence by the undersigned fully justify this
assertion.
DR.. James Lull, of Potsdam, n. Y, says -
~ have cured the deplorable costveness of the
bowels with Brandreth's pills, when every
other remedy had failed, and the patient was
given up to die. Skin diseases of an invete-
rate and painful character, such as erysipelas,
salt rheum, letter and summer-heat, | have
seen eradicated by their use. | have cured
the rheumatic, the epileptic, the analytic and
the conSumptive with these excellent pills
alone"
In jaundice and all affections of the liver.
dyspepsia, dysentery and diarrh9a, pleuriSy,
sudden pains and infammations, female OBJ
structions, scorbutic and scrofulous, even
gouty and neuralgia affections, have given way
to the use of this medicine, and now after
twenty years experience, my estimation of
BrandrethS Pills continues to increase.
OBSTRUCTION.
A young lady, beautiful and healthy, took
cold, which caused serious obstruction for
two wears; f; her health was broken down and
her beauty departed. At length Brandreth's
Pills were tried eleven doses, of from two to
four, were taken in fifteen days proceeding the
usual period. Regularity was restored, and
her health and good looks recovered.
WORMS.
Brandreth's Pills are the best vermifuge !;
they are infallible. A little child, six years
old, for some weeks was dropping ; its mother
gave it one of Brandreths sugar coated pills !;
the next day there came away worm sixteen
inches long, and as large as a childs finger.
The child was well.
PLEURISY.
A gentleman, away from home, was taken
with pleurisy; the inflammation was terrible ;
every breath made him wrthewith agony. Eight
Brandreth's Pills were swallowed, and warm
oil applied locally; the pills operated, and the
pain was relieved; plenty ofgruel was taken,
and six more pills, and the second day the pa
tient was cured.
These statements should have weight, and
prevent the use of poisonous drugs, and stop
the sad practice of bleeding.

PIMPLES AND BLOTCHES.

Are the result of impure blood The blood
becomes thick and clogged. The skin is not
able to cast off the impurities so important %
health. How many young men and women
we see with their faces covered with pimples
and blotches, who are endeavoring to remove
them by the use of soaps and washes of vari-
Gus kinds. This is very dangerous and should
never be practiced by persons desirous of good
health Mothers who have children afflicted
with sores and eruptions should never dry
them up by external applications, for in this
way they will drive in the humors and pro-
duce i'll health for the child during its whole
life time There is no mother that likes to see
her children afflicted with feeble health.
MORSE'S INDIAN ROOT PILLS are pre-
pared expressly for the cure of eruptions of
the skin, such as Pimples, Blotches, Sores, &c.
They cleanse the blood of all impurities, pro-
ducing beautiful, clear and healthy skin, SO
much admired by all peoole of taste and re-
fnement.

Cardinal gave the instrument to the Treas

the possession of French soldier, who
sold it to DIR. Paganini, brother of the Gel

NOR THE CURE OF ALL THOSE PAINFUL
IL DISEASES PECULIAR TO WOMEN.
Mrs. MONTAGUE, for many years afflicted
with most of the diseases that are common to
females, spending a large fortune in ten years
in trying the different means of treatment for
her relief, to no avail, was prevailed upon by
MANY of her friends to visit Cuba, December
As, for the purpose of regaining her former
health. While there, she obtained prescrip-
ton from Spanish Physician
"Whose silver locks
Were tending to the grave"
With which, through the mercy of God, she
was restored to her youthful health.
After her return she made known to hun
dreds Of her female sufferers the effects of the
remedy with equally as great success.
This extraordinary medicine is offered to the
public for the relief and cure of all the painful
and dangerous diseases peculiar to women,
and that the female constitution is subject to-

or Uterine Weakness of any kind, the Female
Cordial is especially recommended. 1t is war

of the Pelvis, Lowness of Spirits, Hysteria

from the peculiar formation of women, the
Cordial will be found OF an immense value.
This medicine moderates all excess, and re-
moves all obstruction it invigorates the de-
biliated constitution for the duties of life and
when taken in middle age proves blessing.
