Indeed, very few are the diseases in which a Purgative Medi:ine is not more or less required, and much sickness and suffering might be prevented, if a harmless but effectual Cathartic were more freely used. No person can feel well while a costive habit of body prevails; besides, it soon generates serious and iften fatal diseases, which miglit have been avoided Kthe timely and judicious use of a good purgative lis is alike true of Colds, Feverish symptoms, and Bilious derangements. Thev all tend to bneomn or produce the deep seated and formidable distempers which load the hearses all over the land. Hence a reliable family physic is of the first imjjojtanof the public health, and this 1'ill h"? teen perfected with cop?uniniato t0 mcct tjiat demand. An extensive trial of its virtues by Physicians, Professors, and Patients, has shown results surpassing any thing hitherto known of any medicine. Cures have been effected beyond belief, were they not substantiated by persons of such exalted position and character as to forbid tho suspicion of untruth. Amonfj the many eminent gentlemen who have testified in favor of these 1'ills, wo may mention: Prof. J. M. Locke, Analytical Chemist, of Cincinnati, whose high professional character is endorsed by joiix rucTi^RAx, juugo oi tnc supreme uourt ot tlic United States. Tuos. Conwix, Secretary of the Treasury. lion. J. 31. WiuailT, Governor of Indiaua. N. Lonowohtii, great wine grower of the West. Also, Dit. J. It. Chilton, Practical Chemist, of New York City, endorsed by Hox. W. L. Makcy, Secretary of State. Wm. B. Astok, the richest man in America. S. Leland & Co., I'ropr's of the Metropolitan Hotel, and mar.y others. Did space permit, we could give many hundred certificates, from all parts where the Fills have been used, but evidence even moro convincing than the experience of eminent public men ia found in their effects upon trial. These Pills, the result of long investigation and study, are offered to the public as the best and most complete which the present state of medical scicnce can afford. They arc compounded not of the drugs themselves, but of the medicinal virtues only of Vegetable remedies, extracted by chemical process in a state of purity, and combined together in such a manner as to insure the best results. This lystem of composition fur medicines has bees found in the Cherry Pectoral and Pills both, to produce a more efficient remedy than had hitherto been obtained by any proccss. The reason is perfoctly obrious. While by the old mode of composition, everr nedicine is burdened with more or less of ncrl-nonious and injurious qualities, by this each indi- ^ ridual virtue only that is desired for the curativa ?fleet is present. " All the inert and obnoxious qualtics of cacli substance employed are left behind, the surative virtues only being retained. Hence it is telrV-evident the cfTects should prove, aa they have proved, more purely remedial, and the Pills a surer, inore powerful antidote to disease than any other ncdicinc known to the world. As it is frequently expedient that my medicine should bo taken under the counscl of an attending Physician, and as he oould not property judge of a remedy without knowing its composition, I have supplied the accurate Formulas by which both my?; Pectoral and Pills are made to the whole body oft Practitioners in the United States and British Amercan Provinces. If, however, there should be any me who has not received them, they will bo )romptly forwarded by mail to his xequest Of all the Patent Medicines that are offered, how ew would be taken if their composition was known 1' L'hoir life consists in their mystery.

The Cherry Pectoral' wt? ironounccd by scientific men to do t wonderful ncdicine before its effects were known. Many em-nent Physicians have declared the same thing of}' ay Pills, and even more confidently, and are wiling to certify that their anticipations were more' han realized by their effects upon trial. They operate by their powerful influence on.the', sternal viscera to purify the blood and stimulate ft ito healthy action ? remove the obstructions of) lie stomach, bowels, liver, and other organe of th? ody, restoring their irregular action to health, and 7 correcting, wherever they exist, such daring*? lents as am the first origin of disease.
