Y OU are respectfully informed that 70 MEETINO STREET 70-is my Office for the exclusive sale of BRANDRETH'S VEGE. TABLE UNIVERSAL PILLS. Price twen. ty five cents per box, -with directions in English, French, Spanish Portuguese and German. The high and universal reputation of the Biantdeth Pills, renders it unnecessary tocotM ment largely on their particular virtues. As an anti-bilions and purgative medicine, they arc unequalled by any. Their purifying effect on the blood is universally allowed-all that have ever used have approved and recoinded them. In many cases where the dreadful ravages of ulceration had laid bare ligament and bone, and where to all appearance, no human means could save life, have patients by the use ofthese Pills, been restored to good henlth; the devour iug disease having beencompletely eradicated. In consequence of the pleasantness of their operation, they are universally used in every section of this wide extended country where thev are made known, and are fast surperseding every other Preparation of professed similar import. Upwards of Fourteen Thotisand cases have been certified ts cured, solely from their use since the introduiction of that into the U. States, thus establishing the fact beyond all doubt, that the Brandreth Pills cure the (appa rently) most opposite diseases, by* the one sitnple act of cotntinnally evacating the how els with them, until the disease gives way: therefore, whatever may be said of the T EORY, the UTILITY of the PRACTICE is now 5EzUND all DOUBT. As Brandreth's Pills cure Scnrvy; Costive ness, aid its consegnences, seusflring men, aid all travellers to foreign regions, should not be without, in order to resoit to them on every occasion of illness. No medicine chest is re quired where they are. N. B,-Time or climate affects them not, provided they are kept dry. Sotithera gentle men will find this imedicine one that willinsure health to the people on their estates. Be carefui and never purchase Pills of a Druggist, PROFEsSING to bo Brandreth's Pills. Under NO CInCOMSTANCES is aty On of this class made an Agent. My own established Agents have INVARIABLY an FNGRAVF.D Certili. cate. signed B. 3randreth, M. D, in tmy owni hand writing. This is renewed yealy-and when over twelve months old, it no lonmer gnarantees the genuinieness of the tmediciile, it would be well, thercfore, for purchasers to carefiily examine the Certificate. The scal is not wax. but embossed on the paper with a steel seal. IIthe genuine medicine is obtained,there is no doubt of its giving perfect satisfaction, and itfull who want it are careful to go by the above directions, there is little doubt but they will obtain it.

OL.IVER TOWilS, o. :. a, M..arc , 18u0 $6 r~ a r, .Vegetable Life Medicines. T HESE Medicines are indebted for their name to their manifest and sen sible action in purifying the springs and channels of life, and enduing thern with renewed tone and vigor. In many hun dred certified cases which have been made public, and in almost every species of dis ease to which the human frame is liable, the happy effects or MOFFATS LIFE PILLS AND PHGENIX BITTERS have been gratefully and publicly ac knowledged by the persons benefitted, and who were previously unacquainted with the beautifully philosophical principles upon which they are compounded, and upon which they consequently act. The LIFE MEDICINES recommend themselves in diseases of every from & de scription. Their first operation is to loosen from the coats of the stomach and bowels, the various impurities and crudities con stantly settling around them, and to re move the hardened fmces which collect in the convolutions of the small intestines. Other medicines only partially cleanse these and leave such collected masses behind as to produce habitual costiveness, with all its train of evils, or sudden diarr. hoa, with its imminent dangers. This fact is well known to all regular anato mists, who examine the human bowels after death; and hence the prejudice of these well informed men against quack medicines-or medicines prepared and heralded to the public by ignoraut persons. The second ef'ect of the Life Medicines -is to cleanse the kidneys and the bladder, and by this means, the liverand the lungs, the healthful action of which entirely de pends upon the regularity of the urinary organs. The blood, which takes its red color from the agency of the liver and the lungs before it passes into the heart, being thus pdrified by them, and nourished by food coming from a clean stomach, cour ses freely through the veines, renews every part of the system, and triumphantly mounts the banner of health in the bloom ing cheek. M IolTat's Vegetable Life Medicines have been thoroughlv tested, and pronounced a sovereign remidy for Dyspepsia, Flatu lency, Palpitation of the Heart, Loss of Appetite, Heartburn and Headach, Rest lessness, IIl-temper, Anxiety, Languor and Melancholy, Costiveness, Diarrhma, Chol era, Fevers of all kinds, Rheumatism Gout, Dropsiesof all kinds, Gravel, Worms, Asthma and Consumption, Scurvy, Ulcers, Inveterate Sores, Scobutic Eruptions and Bad Complexions, Eruptive complaints. Sallow, Cloudy, and other disagreeable Complexions, Salt Rheum, Erysipelas, Common Colds and Influenza, and various other complaints which afflict the human frame. In FEYEIL and AGUE, particular ly, the Life Medicines have been most eminently successful - so much so, that in the Fever and Ague districts, Physicians almost universally prescribe them. All that Mr. loffat requires of his pati ents is to be particular in taking the Life Medicines strictly according to the direc tions. It is not by a newspaper notice, or by auything that he himself may say in their favor, that he hopes to gain credit. It is alone by the results of a fair trial.
