I am happy to say of your CATHARTIC PILLS, that I

CAST. JOE!. PRATT, of the ship Marion, writes from
Boston,' 2 :h April, 1C54 :
" Your Piils have cured me fr-m a bilious attack which
arose fmin derangement of the L;'. er. which h3d become
very serious. I had tailed of any relief by my Physician,
and from every remedy i could try . but a few doses oC
your Pilis have completely restored me to health. 1 have
given them to my children for worms, with the best ef
fects. They were pn inptly curtd. I recommended thera
to a friend for costiveness, which had troubled iiitn for
months ; lie tcld me in a few days they had cured htm.
You make the best medicine in the world , and 1 am free
to say so."
Read this from the di-tingui-heil Solicitor of the Supreme

known, not only in tins but tl.e neighboring State.-.

" Sir : I have great satisfaction in assuring you that
myself and family have been very much benefited by your
medicines. Mv wife was cured, two years since, of a se
vere and dangerous cough, by your Ciutsr PLCTRAL,
sra since then ha- enjoyed perlert health. My children
..ave several tunes been rured front attacks of the Intlu
eiiza and Croup by it. It is an invaluable remedy for
these complaints. Your CATHARTIC PILLS have entirely
cured me from a dyspepsia and costiveness, winch ha*
crow ri upon me for some years,— indeed, this cure is
notch more important, froiri the fact That I had failed to
get relief from the best Physicians which this section of
the country affords, and from any of the numerous reme
dies I had taken.

THE GREATEST
MEDICAL DISCOVERY
OF THE AGE.
DR. KENNEDY, of Roxbury, has discovered
in one of our common pasture weeds &
remedy that cures
Every Kind of Sliimor
from the worst Scrofula down to a common Pimple.
IT E has tried it in over 1100 cases,and never failed ex
j -El cept in two cases, (both thunder humor.) He has
now in his possession over two hundred certificates of
its virtue,all within iwesitv miles of Boston,
i Two bottles are warranted to cure a nursing Sore
Mouth.
One to three botties will cure the worst hind of Pimples
on the Face
Two to three bottles will clean the system of Biles.
Two bottles are warranted to cure the worst Canker
in the Mouth and Stoinach.
Three to five bottles are warranted to cure the worst
case of Erysipelas.
One to two bottles are warranted to cure all Humor in
the eyes.
Two bottles are warranted to cure Running of the
Ears and Blotches among the Hair.
Four to six bottles are warranted to cure corrupt and
running Ulcers
One bottle will cure Seal) Eruption of the Skin.
Two to three botties are arrautt d t" cure the worst
case of Ringworm.
Two to three bottles are warranted to cure the most
desperate case of Rheumatism.
lhrea to four bottles are warranted to cure the Salt
Rheum.
FtveioeighlboUleswillcurelhe worst case of Scrof
ula
A benefit is aiw.tys experienced fro.n the first bottle,
, and a perfect cure is warranted when the above quanti
j ty is inken.
Reader, I peddled over a thousand bottlesof th's in the
: vicinity of Boston. I know the effect of it in every case
So sure as water w ill extinguish fire, soaure will this
cure humor. I never sold a botile of it but that sold an
; other; afier a trial it always speaks for itself. There
are tw o thing* about this herb that appears to tue sur
prising; first that it grows in our pastures, in some pU
| ees quite plentiful, and yet its value has never been
; known until 1 discovered it in ISlfl— second, that it should
! cure all kinds of humor.
In order to give some idea of the sudden rise and great
popularity ..fthe discovery, 1 w iil stile tiiat in April,
1633. I p>-da!ed it at- ! -old ab.ofl s.x bottles per day—in
April, 1*54. I sold over one li.ntisaiid bottles per dav of it.
Some of the wholesale Druggists who have been in
: bus.ness twenty and thirty years, ay that nothing in the
annals of patent mediriries was ever like it. There is a
■ universal praise of it from all quarters.
In my o n pracli. e ! alwav* kept it strictly fur humors
—but .iuce its introduction asa general family medicine,
great an 1 wonderful virtues have been fuund in it that 1
never suspected.
Several cases of epileptic fits —a disease which was
rlivrvs oust red incur aide, have been cored fcy a few
po'tles. O, what a mercy if It will prove effectual in ail
ises of tin.t awful malady- there are few who have

Allegheny, July |Q, 1-56
Mr. 11. M. Bow man—Dear Sir:—J feel it my duty to let
you know w hat your compound has done for my daugh
ter, and wish you to publish it if you can in hope that
some suffering one may be induced by it to try your vol
uable medicine and be cured. My daughter was married
in 1-S3, and went to Cincinnati to live, where her bus- 1
band (James iloji.) wag engig-d in business. In six
months after her husband died, arid I sent for her to come !
home, w here in four months she was con fined and caught •
cold which settled on her lungs. It seemed as though we
could get nothing to help her We tried six different
physicians for over one year and then sent to New- York '
to a celebrated physician th*re, and she look medicine
from him for eight monlhs ; but he could not cure her '■
Her cough was fixed and stubborn and seemed as though
it would tear her breast during the paroxysm of cough
and her breathing was at times very difficult. Failing u, ;
get relief from physicians, we thought we would try Ay.
er's Cherry Pectoral, and she look it regular for seven i
weeks, but it did her no permanent good. We then tried
Sellers' Imperial Cough Syrup, but With all she still be
came worse, and it seemed as though she was beyond
cure, w hen one day my wife was in al one of our neigh
b.-r's houses (Mr Mayness') sad she saw them g.ve your j
Vegetable Compound to one of their children f, r a cough 1
and she got three or lour d oes to bring home and try it.
After my daughter had taken it she breathed a little eas- !
ier, and we sent and got a bottle of it and w hen it was
taken iVre was a marked change for the better. 1 then '
got six bo!ties, the most of which-he tsok as directed
until finally cut.- i. is three months since, and she ins
not hot asi mptein of the old complaint, and is celling as 1
lusty rs lb- ever was We all unite in ... !r prayers to j
