HARRIS, TURNER IIALE'S
Compound Syrup ofSpigelia
or Vegetable Vermifuge,
The most ejjectxial, the safest, pleasantest
and most convenient Worm Medicine
ever offered to the public.
' 'flllE SPIGELIA, says .a work of highest authority,
A stands at the head of the list of Anthelmintics or Worm
Medicines. It is adapted to a wider range of cases, and
i to a greater variety of constitutions and states of the
constitution, than any other. Hut prepared as it com
! inonly is, in the form of tea, it can seldom be given to
children in suflicienl doses. In Harris, Turner A Hale's
Compound Syrup, it is so concern rated that the dose is
very small, so combined as to ensure a purgative opera
tion, and so palatable as to be taken, notonly with'ease,
j but with positive pleasure.
The precise composition of this syrup and the mode of
1 preparing it, are the result of a series of experiments
continued for years. Hefore offering it for sale, it was
j subjected to the test of experience in the hands of emi
| nent physicians, in Philadelphia and elsewhere, who have
j recommended it in the highest terms, and still employ it
! in their practice. In addition to this evidence of its im-r-
I its, we otfer the following, selected from a number of un
solicited testimonials.
l9t. A distinguished physician of Virginia, of much
experience, writes of it thus :
"I should have written before this, but felt disposed
first to try the efficacy of your Vermifuge. I have used
more than half the quantity received, and the experiment
( has been most successful. I really btlitre that it posses
j tes advantages over any other Vermifuge I hare ever used. \
Independent of the sinallness of the dose, and the plea- :
santness of the syrup (great advantages in dosing chil- j
; dren) the advantage of administering it under a variety j
>of circumstances, enhances its value; indeed there is
scarcely a condition of the system in which it may not
j be administered. Yours, See."
! 2d. A respectable jdiysician of Lebanon county, in this
state, writes
11 I ha ve been in the habitof prescribing your Compound '
Syrup of rtptgelia for some time past, and have found it
an exci llent worm medicine, particularly for children. —
Please forward per bearer 2 doz. bottles.— Yours, ice." j
3d. —An intelligent merchant of Virginia to whom we
had previously sold the syrup, writes:
".Since my return home, I find that your Syrup of Spi
gelia has come into general use in this neighborhood. We '
have sold what we had on hand, and it gave such satis- i
faction that it isnowcalledforeveyday. You will please 1
! put us up 5 or fi dozen in a small package, and send to the f
care of \V. Anderson & Co., Richmond, as soon as possi
| ble,and forward the bill per mail.—Yours, dec."
14th. —A respectable merchant of Ohio, on a late visit to
Philadelphia, stated, that some time since he had been ap
- plied to by a customer for a vial of 's Ver
mifuge for his son. Not having the article asked for, he
advised a trial of Harris, Turner A Hale's Compound
Syrup of Rpigelia and gave him a part of a bottle which
was ai! that remained in the store. A day or two after
i this the geftleman returning to the store, expressed his ;
surprise and delight at the effect of the Syrup, declaring
! it had <:X|elled 2IKI worms and entirely relieved his son. '
The merchant added an expression of his great regret that
j he had not had on hand* a bottle of the Syrup at the time 1
; when hi* own little daughter died, as he confidently be- !
j lieved it would have saved her life.
5th —A gentleman of Hudson, V Y., having sent a bot
tle of Harris, Turner A Hale's Compound HyrupofHpi •
gelia, to a young friend who had tried in vain a great num- j
ber of worm medicines, w rites,that he friend was imme- 1
d lately relieved ; the words of the patient were : "It took
: every worm out my body."

the following:
DECATIB TOWKSHIP, Mifflin county, >
September llth, 1849. j
DR. S. F (IRF.F..V:
Respected friend —Two of our children having been
• severely afflicted this summer with Fever and Ague, and
having checked it four different limes by the use of the i
regular remedies, still they complained of pains in the
legs, bowels, head, and in fact in the whole system; vora
cious appetite, fever, great diarrhoea, Acc, and after hav
ing used all the remedies thought suitable for the above
symptoms, 1 concluded that they both had Worms, and
. accordingly gave each of them (the one nine years of age ;
and the other 7) two tea-spoor.fuls apiece of your valua
ble Vermifuge, and in three hours from the time of their
taking the above small doses, the youngest passed FIVE
: of the largest worms I have ever seen. The oldest boy
passed a solid ball of worms (it may appear incredible, but
it is truth} as large as a walnut, and both have been get
ting well fast since.
You may make the above public if you think proper for
the benefit of others, and for the purpose of introducing
: your valuable Vermifuge in Decatur township.
Yours, Acc., 1) B FISHER.

AGUE and FEVER —lt has been our particular study to I
find out sum*- remedy to stop this dreadful scourge, and
think, in this TONIC we have etfected this great object.
| It is also we think the very best remedy in Dyspepsia, J
; and if our directions arc followed, will not fail to effect
' a cure-
In a letter dated, May 23d, 1649, our Agent, Mr. Elias
Raub,of WrigiitsviUe, York county, Pa , says: — 1 have
never known any remedy for Fever and Ague equal to
your invaluable National Tonic. It has given universal
satisfaction, and has ciued cases of Ague of years stand
ing, and after the failure of all other medicines made use
of. Mr. Henry Beverson,of the same place, savs in his
' certificate, dated 22D March, 1649, ' I applied to a number
' of Physicians, and also used a variety of the most popu
lar Ague Mixtures at different tunes, but all without the
desired effect ; no permanent cure having been afforded.
! I was at length induced, at the recommendation of your
worthy Agent at this -place, to try a bottle of your Na
tional Tonic, and to my great satwfactiosi, before I had
used halfof it, I felt completely cured, though I contin
ued the use of it till L had taken two bottles.' In a joint
; certificate from Messrs. Miles Hoke, William Blackson.
I and James D. Brown, of the same place, they say—'Hav
ing tried nearly all the remedies within our reach with
out success, we at last purchased some of your falsonal
Tonic, w hich has completely cured us. We, therefor#,
cheerfully recommend it to the notice of alt persons af
flicted with that terrible disease as the best remedy yet

A are satisfied stands unequalled, for general |
use, and simplicity of arrangement, by any
Cooking Stove yet oftercd to the public. To
be satisfied of this, we think it needs but to
be seen. It is a regular Hathaway, of the
size now generally in use in this country, with
the following improvements, viz:
Ist. It is 90 arranged that a stout Sheet
Iron Oven can be put
,n at the top, back of
ft ijijjL 'he fire, [the tlame pas
-f, n T' 81 "g under it,] sutH
-- * ' ; ' eilt * v large to do or
dinary roasting or cook
jpa in £' and heated as
|wP quick as the tire is clev
-5539 El erlv burning; thus a-
voiding the necessity
y of heating up the reg-
* ular oven for ordinary
purposes, which oven when heated, requires as
• much tire to do a small roast as would do a
large amount of cooking. Further, the small
oven being loose, can be put in or taken out at
pleasure with very little trouble. When much
cooking is required, it can be kept out, and
the stove is then the same as a regular Hatha
way.
2d. The Griddles are improved, so that the
top is smoother, the wire handles being dis
pensed, with and a loose handle used to lift
them off.
• id. flie damper is much more convenient,
by being placed m the side instead of the back.
4th. I'he bottom flue is the Daubach, so ar
ranged that the drafl is the same as the Hatha
way.
N. B. We warrant this stove in every par
ticular.
We have alsoon hand a large assortment of
other valuable Cooking Stoves, consisting of
the Star, two sizes, at S2O to#22 ; Complete
Cook, at #l3; and Laubach, two sizes. Also,

throughout the length and breadth of the land. es(*cially
as it is found incapable of degeneration or deterioration.
t'nlike young S. 1' Tow nsend's, it improves with age. and
cever changes, but for the better : because it is prepared on
scientific principles by a scientific ma*. The highest knowl
edge of Chemistry, and the latest discoveries of the art,
have all been brought into requisition in the manufacture
of the Old Dr's Sarsapartlla. The Sxrsaparillu root, it is
weli known to medical men, contains many wnedinnal pro
pert.es, and some properties which are ineg or useless, and
others, which if retained in i>reparing it for use, produce
fermentation and acid, which, is injurious to the system.
Borne of the properties of Barsaparola are so volatile, that
they entirely evaporate aod are lost in the preparation, if
they are not preserved by a scientific proem, known only
to those ei penanced in its manufacture. Moreover, these
volatile principles, which fly off in vapor, or as an exhala
tion, under heat, are tbe very essential medical properties
f the root, which give to it all its value.
i SOURING. EERMEN'UNG. ACID "COM
POUND" OF S. P. TOWNSEND,
I tnd yet he w.ul.t f.,in h ,ve it understood that Old Dr. Jacob
row nsend's (imum' Original S-.rsaparn.a. , an IMITA
TION ot his inferior preparation ".
Heaven forbid that we should deal in an ar'icle which
would bear tbe most distant re-u-mbi.-utce t S. P. Town
lend'n article! and which should bring down nnon the Old
Dr. such a mountain h.ad of complaints and criminations
from Agent* w ho have sold and purchasers -v ho have used
6. I*. Towusend's FERMENTING COMPOUND.
We wish it understood, because it is the absolute truth,
that 8. I'. Tow nsend's artcle and Did Dr. Jacob Tow n
seiid"s Barsaparilla are heaven-wide apart, and infinitely dis
similar ; that they arc nnl.ke in every particular, having
aot one single thing in common.
As 6. P. Townsetid is no doctor and never was. is no
chymist. uo pharmaceutist—knows no more of medicine or
disease than any otbefrommon. tinsciendtic. unprofessional
man. what guarantee can the pntilic have that they are re
ceiving a genuine scientific medicine, containing a;l tha
v ,r;ut-s of the articles used in preparing it. and which are n
capable of changes which nogh; render ihem the AGENTS
of Disease instead of health.
But what else should I* expected from one who know*
nothing comparatively of medicine or disease ! Itrequ.res
a I*rson of some exp-erience to cook and serve up even a
common decent iue.il. How much more inqiortaiit is it that
the person! who manufacture medicine, des.gned for
WEAK STOM VCHS AND ENFEEBI.KD SYSTEMS',
should know wel! tbe medical properties of plants, th
best manner of securing and concentrating their heaiiog
virtues, also an cvtensive know (edge of the rarinosdiseases

It is to arrest frauds upon the unfirtunate. to ponr halm

Transcendent Power to Ileal.
Any person can boil or stew the root til! they get a dark
colored liquid, which is more from the coloring mailer la
the root than from any thing e.se; they can then strain
this Insipid >r vapid liquid, sweeten v. ith sour molasses,
end then call it " SAIISAI'AUILLA EXTRACT or SY
RUP." Hut such is not tbe article known as the
GENUINE OLD DR. JACOB TOWKSEND'S
SARSAPARILLA.
Tins :s so prepared, that nil the inert properties of ths
9itrsa|>arilla rixit are first removed, every thing c*|wb!e of
becoming arid or of fermentation. ,s extracted and rejected;
then every particle of medical virtue is secured In a pure
and concentrated form : ami thn* it is rendered incapable o>
losing any id its valuable and healing properties. I're;,arcd
in this way, it is made the most |*iwerfttl agent in the
Cure ot innumerable diseases.
Hence the reason why we hear commendations on every
side In its favor by men. women, and children. We find it

ami promotes easy e\|iectoration and gentle per-piralion,
