FILLS.
THE science of Chemistry and Medicine have
been taxed their utmost to produce this best,
most perfect purgative which is known to man.
Innumerable proofs arc shown that these PILLS
have virtues which surpass in excellence the or
dinary medicines, and that they win unprccc- ,
dently upon the esteem of all mon. They are j
safe and pleasant to take, but powerful to cure.
Their penetrating properties stimulate the vital ;
activities of the body, remove the obstructions i
of its organs, purify the blood, and expel disease. |
They purge out the foul humors which breed
and grow distemper, stimulate sluggish or dis
ordered organs into their natural action, and
impart healthy tone with strength to the whole
system. Not only do they cure every-day com-.
plaints of every body, but also formidable and
dangerous diseases that have baffled the best of j
human skill. While they produce poweifulef-;
fects, they are at the same time, in diminished
doses, the safest and best physic that can he em-1
ployed for children. Being sugar-corted, they
nre pleasant to take: and being purely vegeta
ble, nre free from any risk of harm. Cures ■
have been made which surpass belief were they
not substantiated by men of such exalted posi
tion and character as to forbid the suspicion of
untruth. Many eminent clergymen and physi
cians have lent their names to certify to the
public the reliability of our remedies, while oth
ers have sent me the assurance of their convic
tion that our Preparations contribute immense
ly to the relief of my afflicted suffering fellow
mmi- . ,
The Agent below named is pleased to furnish
gratis our American Almanac, containing direc
tions for the use and certificates ot their cures,
of the following complaints:—
Costivenosß, Bilious Complaints, Rheuma
tism, Dropsy, Heartburn, Headache arising
from a foul stomach, Nausea, Indigestion, Mor
bid Inaction of the Bowels and I'uin arising
therefrom, Flatulency, Loss of Appetite, all
Diseases which require an cvacnant medicine.
They also, by purifying the blood and stimula
ting the system, cure many complaints which it
would not he supposed they could reach, such
r as Deafness, Partial Blindness, Neuralgia and
Nervous Irritability, Derangements of theL-vcr
and Kidneys, Gout, and other kindred com
plaints arising from a low state o' the ho ly or
obstruction of its functions.
Do not be put off by unprincipled dealers
with some other pill they make more profit on.
Ask for AYF.R'9 PILLS, and take nothing else.
No other .they can give you compares with this
in its intrinsic value or curative powers, lhe
sick want the best aid there is for them, and
they should have it.

Purify the Blood.
NOT a few of the worst disorders that afflict
mankind arise from the corruption that accumu
lates in the blood. Of all the discoveries that
have been made to purge it out, none have been
found which could equal in effect AYER'S COM
POUND EXTRACT OF SARSAPARU TA. It cleanses
and renovates the blood, instills the vigor of
health into the system and purges oat the humors
which make disease. It stimulates the healthy
functions of the body and expels the disorders
that grow and rankle in the blood. Its extraor
dinary virtues are not yet widely known, but
when they arc it will no longer be a question
what remedy to employ in the great variety ol
afflicting diseases that require an alterative rem
edy. Such a remedy, that could" lie relied on,
litis long been sought for, and now. for the first
time, the public have one on which they can de
pend. Our space here does not admit certifi
cates to show its effects. But the trial of a
single bottle will show to the sick that it has
virtues surpassing anything they have ever ta
ken. Sufferers from Scrofula, Scrofulous Swell
ings and Sores, try it and see the rapidity with
which it cures. S km Dimmcs, Pimple*, Pus
tutu, Blotches , Eruption.*, <)-r., are soon cleaned
out of the system.

ily cured by AYIU'S S vtts VPAIUI.T.A.
' Svphilis or Venereal Disease is expelled from
the system by the.prolonged use of this SAI.SA-
I>AHII.T.A, and the patient is left as healthy as it'
he had never had the disease.

From J r , Newton Brown, D. D., Editor of the En*
eyrloprdia of Religions Knowledge,
Although not disposed to f ivor or recommend Pat
ent medicines tr. general, thiough distrust of their
ingredients and eflects, I yet know of no sufficient
reason why a tnan may not testify to the benefit be
believes himself to have received from any simple
preparation, in the hope that he may thus coi.frib
ute to the benefit of others.
I do this the more readily in regard to Hoofland's
German Bitters, prepared by Dr. C. M. Jackson, of
this city, because I was prejudiced against them for
many years, under the impression that they were
cheielly 011 alcoholic mixture. [ am indebted to my
friend Robert Shoemaker, Esq., lor the removal of
this prejudice bv proper tests, and for encourage
ment to try them, when suffering from great and
Icng continued debility. The use of three bnttleg
of these Hitters, at the beginning of the present
y°ar, was followed by evident relief and restoration
to a degree of bodily and mental vigor which 1 had
not felt lor six months before, and had almost de
spaired of regaining. ( therefore thank God and my
friend for directing me to the use of them.

From the Rev. JOSE I'll 11. KENNARD, Pastor
of the ['enth Baptist C/mrih.
PR. JACKS, N—DEAR SIR I have been frequently
requested to connect iriyname with commendations
of different kinds of medicines, but regatrling the
practice as out of my appropriate sphere, I have in
all cases declined , bit' with a cleat proof in various
instances, end particularly in my own family, of the
usefulness of Pr. Hoofland's German Bitters, 1 de
part for once from my usual coiuse, to express my
full conviction that, for general debility of the sys
tem, and especially for Liver Complaint, it is a safe
and valuable propitiation. In some cases it may fail,
but usually I doubt not it will be very beneficial to
those who suffer from the above ca'tists.
Yoiiia, very respectfully,

two years ago, to give you a certificate, testifying
what the German liitteis had done for me. 1 nr
now perfectly need of all those diseases your med
icine professes '0 cure, viz:—Dyspepsia, Chronic
and Nervous debility, diseases of the Kidneys, ike.
The powerful influence it exerts upon Nervous pros
tration is surprising. I have been consulted frequent
ly in reference to your Bitters, and without hesita
tion, have recommended it for the above complaints,
and in every instance it has effectually cured. Your
medicine has a great reputation lit Germantown antf
is now told in every Ding store, and in most of the
Gtocery stores hete. ll uny one should question
what I say, let them come to Germantown, and t
will prove to their satisfaction, that the Bitlers have
cured in this vicinity more than twefit) cases of the'
above disease. Respectfully,
