OR REGULATORS,

PU RELY EGET A BILE.
These Pills are not offered to the public az a
novelty, or universal panacea for "a the ills
Lat flesh is heir to " They have been extensively
used, and their virtues are well known TO many
sho will be glad to learn that the proprietor has
made arrangements to continue the manufacture
On scale equal to tue increasing demand The
Pills are all made under his personal supervision,
and can therefore be relied as on those which have
given SO much satisfaction to all who have used
them. The oft repeated assertion that in bilious
diseases, and the various disorders of the Liver,
there is no remedy but mercury, in blue pill or
some other form, has been proven false by ample
testimony from tn ,se who have used these purely
vegetable Pills, 1t is true, however, that to rem
edy arrangement Of the bilious secretion, you
must have something to act directly and power
fully at times upon the liver; but it Ia not true
that mercury is the only agent capable Of pro-
ducing this specific action. The simple cOmbns.
ton of vegetable principles in these pills produces
the same positive action upon the Liver as calO
mel, and will correct the derangement of that
organ as surely, without the risk Of any unpeas'
ant or injurious consequences, at the same time
they have an Alternative and tonic effect, which is
the secret of their great superiority.
The circumstances under which the formula for
these Pills came into the possession of the Pro-
prietor, some year ago, were peculiar and induced
him to prepare, from time to time, such quanti-
ties as would enable him to supply the wants Of
his friends, but, owing to the astonishing results
produced by their use, the demand has increased
so rapidly that he is compelled to manufacture on
a much larger scale than was contemplated, aud
the unsought testimony, from various quarters Of
the great efficacy ard uniformly gratifying results
experienced in cases Of bilious affections fever
and ague, and other disorders arising from de-
rangement Of the hillary organs, proves beyona
all doubt that these Pills are capable of efectps
the most surprising cures on record, and oil VINO
suffer in any way from arrangement Of ths funo'
tons of the Liver, should have them at hand,

Personal APPEARANCE OF LITERARY
PEOPLE.

PEOPLE.
A correspondent of the Springfield Re
publican give the following pen,and.ink
sketches of prominent literary people:
Emerson looks like refined farmer
meditati7e and quiet. Longfellow like q
good natured beef eater. Holmes like q
ready-to-laugh little body, wishing only tr
be "as funny as he can." Everett seems
only the graceful gentleman, Who has beer
handsome. Beecher a ruddy, rolickine
boy Whittier the most retirirg of Ouakers
And thus might name others. Not one Of
these gentlemen can be called handsome
unless we except Beecbcr, who might be a
deal handsomer. Mrs. Sigourney, the grand
mother of American "female" literature
IN her prime (if We may believe her portrait
was quite handsome Catharine Beechpr is
homely. Mrs. Deecher Stowe so ordinary
in looks, that she was taken for Mrs. Stove
"Blddy." Mrs. II. T. Elicit looks like a
washerwoman. Margaret Fuller was plain.
charlotte Cushman has face as marked as
Daniel Webster's, and quite as strong. So
has Elizabeth Blackwell. Harriet Hosmer
looks like man. Mrs. Oakes Smith is
considered handsome Mrs. Julia Ward
Howe has been New York belle. Frances
). Osgood has a lovely, womanly face
Amelia B. Welby was almost beautiful.
Sarah J. Hale, in her young days, quite.
unless her picture fbs. The Davidson sis.
ters, as well as their gifted mother, possessed
beauty If we cross the ocean, we find
Madame de Stael wos fright; but Hannah
More was handsome; Elizabeth Fry, glori-
Gus Letjtia Landon, pretty; Mrs. Hemans,
Wondrously lovely; Mary Hewitt, fair and
matronly; Mrs Norton, regally beautiful !;
Barrett Browning in physique is angular
and though she has magnificent eyes, her
lace IS suggestive of tombstone. Char
lotte Bronte has look in her eyes better
than all beauty of features But we look
at British men Of frst.class craniumg-
Shakespeare and Milton were handsome; DR..
) ohnson was monster of ugliness so were |
Goldsmith and Pope; Addison was toler,
ably handsomej and Coleridge, Shelley. |
Byron, Moore, Campbell, and Burns, all
were uncommonly So Sir Walter Scott
looked very ordinary, in spite of bis fine
head. Macauley is homely, Buwer nearly
hldeous, although dandy. Charles Dick
ems is called handsome but covered with
JeWelry, he can but look like simpleton.
