A UNIVERSAL MEDICINE-By what we eat, by
the air we breathe, or by the water we drink
we can be made sick: or by fatigue, or from de-
bility IN ldced by heat, because these effects end
by producing impurity of blood. TO regain
health we must purify the blood, by the organs
or the stomach and bowels; these organs must
be continued in the regular performance of that
duty which nature has assigned them, and
should there be any impedment, to what does
experience point? To BranIreth's Pills, which
cannot injure, AMI which will surely store the
bowels to the regular performance OF their du-
ties.
The dyspeptic, the bilious viii find them a
treasure of health, and the same may be said to
all wno are sick in any way,-take Brandreth's
Pills and be cured. .,
Sold by all respectable dealers in medicines.

E3-Mlny years since the Chief of the Senecas,
n very powerful nation of Indians, brought to
the eminent DR.. Chaplin quantity of medicine
which he wished the Doctor to take and try it's
effect on cases of dyspepsia, which he did with
the most perfect success. Some time elapsed,
and the few that had been benefited by the med
icine became clamorous for more, which the
Doctor WAS unable tosupply. shortly after, the
chief, Red JACKET, made his appearance, when
the Doctor was able to get from him the names
and proportions of the ingredients used in the
bitters, which he used in his practice many
years adding only few herbs to make them
more palateabie. These Bitters are now put up
in quart bottles and offered to the public-the
formula being assigned to the present proprie-
tors-and sold by all druggists throughout the
country. Call for the 80 Red Jacket" stomach
