DR. PETERS'
CELEBRATED VEGETABLE PILLS.
1 BECAUSE they are exceedingly popular,
? which proves them to be exceedingly good.
2. Because they are composed of aimples which
have the power to do good in an immense number
of cases, without possessing the means to do injury
in any.
3. Because they are not a quack medicine, but the
scientific compound of a regular physician, who has
made his profession the study of his life.
4. Because they are not unpleasant to take, nor
distressing to retain, while they are most effective to
operate.
5. Because they are recommended as a standard
medicine by the regular faculty.
6. Because by keeping ihe system in a natural
state of action, they cure almost every disease which
is incidental to the human frame.
7. Because they are cheap and portable, and will
retain all their virtues in full vigor, in any climate,
and for any length of time.
8. Becausc, notwithstanding their simplicity and
mildness, they are one ef the speediest purgative
medicines which has yet been discovered.
f. Because they are an unfailing remedy for pro
curing a good appe.ite.
10. Because in cases of spleen or despondency, by
their healthy influence on the excited state of the
body, they have a most happy effect in calming and
invigorating the mind.
11. Because they effect their cures without the
usual attendants of other pills, sickness and gri
pings.
12. Because as well as being an unrivalled purifier
of the genexal system, they are a sovereign remedy
for sick head ache.
13. Because theydiffer from the majority of me
dicine, in the fact that the more they are known the
more they are approved.
14. Because as their application creates no debility
in the system, they may betaken without producing
any hindrance to business or the usual pursuits of
every day life.
15. Because when once introduced into a family, or
a village, they almost immediately take the prece
dence of all other medicines in general complaints
16. Because anumberof the wonderful cures they
"lave effected, can be substantiated without any
indue means being resorted to, to procare invalid
cstimonies.
17. Because their composition is such, that they
.re equally applicable to the usual diseas ?? of warm,
:old, or temperate climates.
18 Because two or three are in general sufficient
.or a dose ? so that, as is the case with the generality
of patent medicines? the patient is not compelled to
make a meal of them.
19. Because each individual pill is put up under
the immediate superintendence of the Proprietor, so
that no mistake in the composition or quantity can
possibly occur through the carelessness of a less in
terested agent.
20. Because they purify the frame without debili
tating the system.
21. Because, notwithstanding their immense pop
ularity, no person has ever ventured to raise against
them the breath of censure, which would not have
been the case, if envy could have discovered in
them a single flaw to cavil at.
22. Because ? (and this fact is of the utmost im
portance?) ladies m a certain situation may take
them, (not more than two or three at a tnnehowev
ever :) without in the slightest degree incurring the
lazard of abortion. Were the virtues of PETERS'
INESTIMABLE PILLS confined to this desirable
3iid alone, it would give them a decided advantage
yver the medicines of all competitors, as in no cases
is there more danger to be apprehended, or for which
so few remedies have been discorered, as the one
referred to.
23. Because while they are so efficient in their
operations with adults, they may at the same time
be administered to children, and even to infants, m
small quantities, half a pill for instance, without the
slightest danger.
24. Because their virtues are acknowledged* to
stand pre-eminent, for their toothing influence upon
young ladies while suffering from the usual changes
of life, as directed by ihe laws of Nature.
25. And lastly, because they are acknowledged to
be an almost ln&Hible remedy for Bilious Fever,
Fever and A* ue, Dyspepsia, Liver Complaints, Jaun
dice, Asthma, Dropsy, Rheumatism, Enlargement of
the Spleen, Lowness of Spirits, Piles, Colic, Heart
burn, Nausea, Distension of the Stomach and Bow
els, Flatulence, Habitual Costiveness, Loss of Appe
tite, Blotched or Sallow Complexion, and in cases of
torpor of the bowels, where a mild but effective me
dicine may be requisite.
In short, the general voice of the community has
decided that Dr. PETERS' VEGETABLE PILLS
is one of the happiest discoveries of modern days,
and altogether unrivalled as a general soother of
bodily afflictions.

THE Raleigh & Gaston Kail Road Company have
the pleasure to announce to the public that the
Bridge over the Roanoke and twelve miles of their
Road being finished and in daily use, for the trans
portation of persons and produce, they now form,
since the completion of the Rail Road between
Kichmond and Petersburg, n continuous line of rail
way communication from Littleton to the North. In
the course of a few weeks, about 30 miles more of
their Rail Road will he ready, when a Locomotive
will daily leave Chalk Level (Henderson Depot) for
the North, instead of Littleton, as at present.
This is th^Great mail route, and the different Rail
Road companies now run their daily mail line from
Littleton to New York in 30 hours running time, or,
including all stoppages in less than 48 hours, without
the loss of a single night's sleep.
Travellers from Greensborou<:h, Salisbury and the
West are informed that, by taking this route, they
will reach Washington City 24 hours ahead of any
other line, avoiding at the same time about 200 miles
of staging and the loss of two nights' sleep.
Thisisthe pleasant est and most expeditious route to
the Virginia Springs A first rate line of Coaches is
kept up from Littleton through to Raleigh, where the
main Western line intcsects if and where it unites
with the great Southern mail line to Fayettevjlle,
