DR. M'LANE's
 CELEBRATED YER MIFUGE LIVER PILLS.

ME 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. Chas. M'Lans's Celebrated Vermifuge and Liver Pills.
 We do not recommend them as universal Cure-alls, but simply for what their name purports, viz: THE VERMIFUGE, For expelling Worms from the human system. It has also been administered with the most satis- factory results to various Animals subject to Worms.
 THE LIVER PILLS, For the cure of LIVER COMPLAINTS, all BILIOUS DERANcEMENTs, SICK HEAD-AcHE, &c. In cases of
 FEVER AND AGUE, preparatory to, or after taking Qui- nine, they almost invariably make speedy and permanent cure.
 As specifies for the above men, toned diseases, they are Unrivaled, and never known to fail when ad- 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 ternined that Dr. M'Lane's Cele-. brated Vermifuge 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 Purest material, and com pound them in the most thorough manner.
