A few men of rather ordinary appearance, who have thrown themselves entirely into Lyons" hands, know the advantages to be derived from a suit of his Clothes ; it has married them into rich families, given them a standing far beyond their expectations, and been the means of pitching them as high up nsphifty-phour pliorty in the scale of uppertendom respectability.

June 22, 1855. 7 tf AYER'S PILLs! Anew and singularly succcssful remedy for the cure of all bilious diseases ? Costivcncss, Indigestion, Jaundice, Dropsy, Rheumatism, Fever*, Gout, Humors, Nervousness, Irritability, Inflamm*; tions, Headache, l'ains in the Breast, Side, Back, j and Limbs, Female Complaints, &c. &c. Indeed, very few arc the diseases in which a Purgative Medicinc is not more or less required, and much sickness and suffering might be preicntcd, if a harmless but effectual Cathartic were more freely used. No person can feci well while a costive liubit of j body prevails; besides, it soon generates serious and u licit lit Li li uibeu.'iuh, wuiua uii^iu uu>u uutu atmucu by the timely and judicious use of a good purgative 1 hi3 is alike true of Colds, Feverish symptoms, and Bilious derangements. They all tend to bocomc or produce the deep seated and formidable distempers which load the ncarses all over the land. Hence a reliable family physic is of the first importance to the public health, and this Pill has been perfected with consummate skill to meet that demand. An extensive triul of its virtues by Physicians, Professors, and Patients, has Bhown results^surpassing any thing hitherto known of any medicine. Cures have been efl'ectcd beyond belief, were they not substantiated by persons of such exalted position and character as to forbid the suspicion of nntrutli. Among the many ominent gentlemen who have testified in favor of these Pills, we may mention: rroi. j. iu. ldukk, Analytical i/iiuiiitsi, ui Cincinnati, whose high professional character is endorsed by, John McLean, Judge of the Supreme Court of the United States. Tiios. Couwin, Secretary of the Treasury. Hon. J. M. Weight, Governor of Indiana. N. Lonowouth, great wine grower of the West. Also, Dk. J. It. Chilton, Practical Chemist, of New York City, endorsed by Hon. W. L. Mahcy, Secretary of State. Wm. B. Artok, the richcst man in America. S. Lei.and & Co., Propr's of the Metropolitan Hotel, and many others. Did Bpacc permit, we could give many hundred certificates, from all parts where the _ Pills have been used, but evidence even more convincing than the experience of eminent public men is found in their effects upon trial. These Pills, the result of long investigation and study, are ofTercd to the public as the best and most complete which the present state of medical science can afford. They aro compounded not of the druDPH tlieniHclves. 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 an to insure the best results. This system of composition for medicines has been found in the Chwry Pectoral and Pills both, to produce a ' more efficient remedy than had hitherto been obtained by any proccss. The reason is perfectly obvious. While by the old mode of composition, every medicine is burdened with moro or less of acrimonious and injurious qualities, by this each Individual virtue only that is desired for the curative , effect is present. All the inert and obnoxious qual mes 01 earn suosiancc cmpioyea pre leii uenina^mo curative virtues only being retained. Henoe it is soft-evident, the effects should prove, as they h&v*. proved, more purely remedial, and the Pills-aisurei^ more powerful antidote to disoose than anv otitet medicine known to the world. As it is frequently expedient that ray medicine should be taken under the counsel of an attending . Physician, and as he oould not properly judge of & remedy without knowing its composition, I have' supplied the accurate Formula: by whigi both mr Pectoral and Pills are made to the whole body olf Practitioners in the United States and British American Provinces. If, however, thero should bo any one who has not received them, they will be promjftly forwarded by mail to his request. Of all the Patent Medicines that are offered, how fcwAuld be nkon if tholr composition was known!' Thkr life consists in their mystery. I have no 'mAte riea. The composition of my preparations is laid opcrk> to all men, and all who are competent to judge on' the subject freely acknowledge their conviction* ot) their intrinsic merits. The Cherry Pectoral w**: pronounced by scientific men to be a wonderful medicine before it* effect* were known. Many eminent Physicians have declared the same thing off my Pills, and even moro confidently, and are wOI-' ing to ccrtifv that their anticipations were more than realized by their effects upon trial. They operate by their powerful influence on the internal viscera to purify the blood and stimulate it into healthy action ? remove tho obstructions of) the stomach, bowels, livor, and other organs of tip' 1 A-l- l " - wm] , ifaMiiiug uiyu uiokuiw acuua to neaiui, Kaa by correcting, wherever they exist, such derangements as are the first origin of disease.
