DR.. .M'L,ANE's
sT CELEBRATED
YER MIFUGE
LIVER PILLS.

WE beg leave to call the atten-
w ton Of the Trade, and more
especially the Physicians OF the
country, to two of the most pop
ular remedies now before the pub
lie. We refer to
Dr.. Chax S'Lans's Celebrated

For expelling Worms from the
human system. 1t has also been
administered with the most Salts
factory results to various Animals
subject to Worms.
THE LIVER PILLS,
For the cure of LIVER COMPLAINTS,
all BILIOUS DERANGEMENTs, Sick
HEAD-AcHE, &c. In cases of
FEVER AND AGUE,
preparatory to, CRATER taking Qui-
nine, they almost invariably make
speedy and permanent cure.
As specifics for the above men
toned diseases, they are. Unrivaled,
and never known to fail when adj
ministered in accordance with the
directions.
Their unprecedented popularity
has induced the proprietors,
FLEMING BROTHERS,
PITTSBURGH, Pa.
to dispose of their Drug business,
in which they have been success
fully engaged for the last Twenty
Years, and they will now give their
undivided time and attention to
their manufacture. And being de-
terrnined that DR.. M'Lane's Cele-
brated Vermituge and Liver Pills
shall continue to occupy the high
position they now hold among the
great remedies Of the day, they
will continue to spare neither time
nor expense in procuring the Best
and Purcst material, and COM
pound them in the most thorough
manner. Address all orders to

patcntability of inventions, unsurpassed by, if
not INN easurably superior to, any that can be
offered them elsewhere. The testimonials be

unmistakable proof of great talent and ability
on his part leads me to recommend all inventors
to apply to him to procure their patents, and they
may be sure of having the most faithful atten-
ton bestowed ON their cases, and at very reason
able charges.
