HEALTH. Many of our readers, no doubt, are pos sessed with this all important blessing, which they may long retain, if particular 'regard and care be paid to themselves, that whenever they feel the least indisposed, to procure a proper medicine in due season. But, on the contrary, we find thousands who are laboring under disease, and many, we fear, will prcve serious, if not attended to, early. Would those persons resort to the medicine that has established Itself in thouH sands of cases which is Dr. Harlich's Com-' 21 00 6 TO, 18 501 pound Strengthening and German Aperient Pills, so pre-eminently recommended for di seases incident to the human race, they would be replt.ced back again to' life's sweet bles sing, which is health. We speak from occular proof, knowing, in many instances, where cures have been performed by this medicine, with marked success in various complaints, such as Dys pepsia, Liver Complaint, Rheumatism, pain in the Breast, Side and Back, Costiveness, Nervous Weakness, Emaciation, General Debility, &c. &c. This medicine consists of two distinct kinds, viz: The German Aperient and the Compound Strengthening ' Tonic Pills, the former to remove bile and all excrementitious matter from the body, thus cleansing and purifying the system, after which the latter are used to give strength and vigor to the weak and debilitated organs, • restore the lost apetite, and produce tranquil rest and sweet repose. We biKhly approvt , of the Dimes theory' of treating diseases, which certainly is safe and effectual, anti • advise the afflicted to give- his medicine I fair trial.—Daily Chronicle Principal Ofhcp, No. 19 North Eighth street, Phil ,delphia. !, Sold at the Store of Jacob Miller, Hunt ingdon, Pa.

A compound Balsamic preparation of the Prunus Virffiniana of 'Vv ild Cherry Bark,' combined with the Extract of Tar, prepa• red by a chemical process, approved and , recommended by the most distinguished physicians, and universally acknowledged the must valuable medicine ever discovered. No Quackery / / No Deception In setting forth the virtues of this truly great medicine, we have no desire to deceive those who are laboring under the affliction, nor do we wish to eulogise it more than it deserves. Yet we look around and see the vast amount of suffering and distress occa sioned by many of the diseases in which this medicine has proved so highly successful, we feet that we cannot urge its claims too strongly, or say too much in its favor. Various remedies it is true have been of fered and putted into notice for the cure of diseases of the Lungs, and some have no doubt been found very useful • bnt all that have yet been discovered, it is admitted by physicians and all others who have witness ed its effects, that none have proved as suc cessful as this. Such, indeed, are the Surprising Virtues Of this Balsam, that even in the advanced stages of Consumption, after all the most esteemed remedies of physicians have failed to effect any change, the use of this medi cine has been productive of the most aston ishing relief, and actually effected cures after all hopes of recovery had been .dis paired of. In the first stage of the disease, termed Catarrhal Consumption, originating from neglected COLDS, it has been used with un deviating success, and hundreds acknowl , edge they owe the restoration of their health to this invaluable medicine alone, in that form of cmsumption so prevalent amongst delicate young females, commonly termed :kWlay, or " Going into a Decline," N complaint with which thousands are lln 'gering, it has also proved highly successful, and not only possesses the power of checking . the progress of this alarming complaint, but also strengthens and invigorates the system more effectually than any medicines we have ever possessed. Besides its suprising efficacy in consump tion, it is equally efficacious in Liver Corn plaint, Asthma, Bronchitis, and all affec- , Lungs,• • lions of the and has cured many of :the twist obstinate cases, atter every other remedy had failed. For particulars see Dr. Wistor's treaties on consumption, to be . had of the agents. WHILE Lill REMAINS WE STILL HAVE SOME HOPE. A SURPRISING Corm .---Among the many singular cures which this medicine has et fected, there is perhaps powers none in which its, Mrs. Austin. are so fully shown as in the case of it This lady has been consumptive for seve ral years, and during the greater part of this time had rec,ived the best medical attention, and tried all the most valuable remedies, yet nothing could be found to arrest its progress., She became subject to violent fits of cough ing, expectorated large quantities of matter occasionally tinged with blood, and step by step this fearful disease continued its course, until all hopes of a recovery was des paired of. While its this distressing situa tion, lingering upon the very verge of the grave, she commenced the use of this Bal sam, which, to use her own expressien, op perste(' almost like a charm. In a few days she expectorated freely, the cough was gra dually suppressed, and every day appeared ' to add fresh vigor to her looks, and now, in, the place of that emaciated form withering' to decay, she is sects mingling in society, in better health than she Isas enjoyed for years. DISINTERESTED T ESTIMONY .----Having' witnessed the surprising efficacy of Dr. Wistar's Balsam of Wild Cherry, in the case of Mrs. Austin, I cheerfully acknowl edge the above statement to be true and cor rect. J. C. WALTERS, M. D. LIVER COMPLAINT.---MIS. Ehrl Thomp son was afflicted with this complaint for nearly five years, during which time she was under the most skilful physicians—had tried Mercury, Botanic and Homeepathic reme dies, and every thing that offered her any hopes of relief. She had dull, wandering pains in her side, sometimes in the shoulder and small of the back, a hacking cough, fre quent pains in the breast, and had been una ble to sleep on her right side for three years. By the use of this Balsam she was cured in a few weeks, and remains well to this day. ELIZA THOMPSON. Woodstown, Sept. 4, 1842.

Unlike the host of pernicious quackeries which boast of vegitable ingredients, the Lite Pilis are purely and sotacty •AOITA BLE, and contain neither Mercury Antimony, Arsenic, nor any other mineral,in any lot n , w hatever. The following are among the distressing varietes of human diseases•, to which thv vegetable Life Pills are well known to b• DYSPEPSIA, by thoroughly eleansii, the first and second stomachs, and creatii flow of pure and healthy bile, instead o tht stale and acrid kind,—f latulency, Pulpit tion of the Heart, Loss of Appetite, Hea , burn and Headache, Restlessness, riq, er, Anxiety, Languorand Melancholy, are the general symptom sof Dyspepsia, w, vanish, as a natural consequence of its co: Costiveness, by cleansing the whole It ug of the intestines with a solvent process, a; without violence.

Common Colds and Influenza, will always be cured by one dose, or by two, even in the worst cases. Piles,—as a remedy for this most distressing and b stinate malady, the Vegetable Life Pills de serve a distinct and emphatic recommenda tion. It is well known to hundreds in this city, that the originator of these invaluable Pills was himself afflicted wills this com plaint for up Navels of thirty-five years, and that he tried in vain every remedy pre. scribed wit hin the compass of the Materis j Medica. He however, at length, tried the medicine which he now offers to the public and he was cured in a very short time. Allthat Mr. Moffat requires of has pa tients is to be particular in taking the Life Medicines strictly according to the directi.s ADVICE TO F EMALES.-Females who value good health should a ever be without the Life Medicines, as they purity the blood, remove obstructions, and give the skin a beautiful, clear, healthy, and bloom ing appearance.
