Have in many cases defied the skill, heretofore, nf the
best medical practitioners in the world, and many cases
have been abandoned as incurable.
Dr. J. WILLIAMS, Chemist and Pharmaceutist, ifier
studyiug closely the practice# of Dr# Abernethy and J
Johnston, England, and observing the nature of the dis
ease ill all its stages, during a # journ in the southern
and western portions of the Enited Hates, where it pre
vail# to a greater extent than elsewhere, procured from
1 South America certain roots and herbs from which he
prepared an "Elixir," which, after eighteen years' use in
private practice, has proved itself more efficacious in the
cure of Dyspepsy than any medicine that has ever been
| prepared in any age or clime for the same purpose.
II tving submitted it, with an ex; lunation of its compo
nents, to a number of physicians of Philadelphia, among
whom were the late Drs Joseph Harts borne and J. C
Morton, it has received their entire approval, and many
of t he medical faculty are now not only prescribing it for
their patients but are using it themselves, personally and
in their families. As a tonic it is unequalled, and it#
properties are of so invigorating a nature that it is given
with perfect safety and success totlie most tender infants.
The Elixir is very gradual, but certain in its action II(M)II
tiie organs of digestion, the increased secretions of ttie
liver, pancreas and mucous membranes of the stomach
and requires that only one dose be taken in twenty four
Inmrs; for confirmed Dyspepsy can only be cured by grad
ually restoring the organs of digestion to a healthy stale,
The great success met with in curing the most aggravated
cues of Dyspepsy, accompanied sometimes with a hieli
grade of hypochondriasis, has established Iks most un
bounded confidence in the curative properties of litis
Elixir, in coiroboration of which read the following tesli
monials:—
AT riser ATKIK —We, having used Williams' Ami Dys
peptic Elixir with the most perfect satisfaction and suc
cess, take great pleasure in recommending it to all per
s ms su'f. ring with Dyspepsy, as we are fully convinced
of its mo t estimable qualities in restoring the digestive
powers, i emoving all pains and uneasiness, am! impart
ing a healthy tone to the stomach.

Dr. J. U illi.iins Dear sir—for fifteen years previous
to I-5-1, 1 suffered so much from dyspepsy that I became
completely prostrated both in mind and body, and at
length became so weakened I could not attend to my busi
ness, an i w as sinking into a decline, and it was believed
I never could r- cover. The lies' medical aid was procured
f.>r uie, and every means resorted to without any relief,
lill I was advised to use your Elixir, and from the time I
began taking it I gradually improved till 1 wag completely
restored lo health The dreadful sufferings I endured
Irom dyspepsy I cannot describe; but I am confident that
without the use of your Elixir 1 should be in my grave.
I assert that I solemnly believe your Elixir has saved me
from an early death. I continue new-in the enjoyment
f most excellent health. If N. Seamy,

THE GREATEST
MEDICAL DISCOVERY
OF THE AGE.
i DR. KENNEDY, of Roxbury, has discovered
in one of our common pasture tccetisa
remedy that cures
Every Kind of Humor
from the worst .-Scrofula down to a common Pimple.
IT E has tried it in over 1100 cases, and never failed ex
cept in two cases, (both thunder humor.) He has
now in his possession over two hundred certificates of
its virtue,all within twenty miles of Boston.
Two bottles are warranted to cure a nursing Sore
Mouth.
three hot ties will cure the worst kind of Pimples
on the Face
Two to three bottles will clean the system of Biles,
j Two bottles are warranted to cure the worst Canker
in the Mouth and Stomach.
Three to five bottles are warranted to cure ihe worst
i case of Erysipelas.
One to two bottles are warranted to cure all numor in
j the eyes.
Two bottles are warranted to cure Running of ihe
| Ears and Blotches among Ihe llair.
Four to six bottles are warranted to cure corrupt and
i running Ulcers.
j One bottle will cure Scaly Eruption of the Skin.
Two to three bottlesare warranted to cure the worst
case of Ringworm.
Two to three bottles are warranted to-cure the most
desperate case of Rheumatism.
Three to four bottles are warranted to cure the Salt
Rheum.
Five to eight bottles will cure the worsl case of Scrof
ilia
A benefit is always experienced front the first bottle,
and a perfect cure is warranted when the above quanti
; ly is l.ken.
Reader, I peddled over a thousand butllesnf this in the
j vicinity of Boston. 1 know the effect of it in every case,
j So sure as water will extinguish fire, so sure will this
cure humor. I never odd a bottle of it but tiiat sold an
; oilier; after a trial it always speaks for itself. There
j are two things about this herb that appears to me sur
prising; first that it grows in our pastures, in some pla
ues quite plentiful, and yet its value has never born
known until 1 discovered it in 1816—Second,that it should
cure all kinds of humor,
j In order to give some idea of the sudden rise and great
| popularity of the discovery, I will state that in April,
1833,1 peddled it and sold about six bottles per day—in
April, ISS-J. Isold over one thousand bottles per dav of it.
Home of the wholesale Druggists who have been in
business twenty and thirty years, say that nothing in the
: annals of patent medicines was ever like it. There is a
I universal praise of it from alt quarters
In my own practice I always kept it strictly for humors
i —but since its introduction asa general family medicine,
great and wondetful virtues have been found in it that I
never suspected.
Several cases of epileptic fits —a disease which was
always considered incurable, have been cured by a few
bottles. O. what a mercy if it will prove effectual in all
cases of that awful malady—there are lew iv ho have
seen more of it than I have.
I know of several cases of Dropsy, all of them aged
people,cured by it. For the various disensesof the l.iv- >
er, Sir k Head ache, Dyspepsia, Asthma, F ever and Ague, i
Pain in the .Side, Diseases of the Spine, and particularly j
in diseases of the Ki lin-ys, ic., the discovery has done j
more good than any medicine ever known.
No change of diet ever necessary—eat the best you ;
get and plenty of it.
Uiuectioks fob Use. —Adults one table spoonful per
■lay—Children • ver 10 years, dessert spoonful—Children
from 5 108 years, tea-spoonful. As no directions can be i
applicable to all constitutions, take sufficient to operate 1
on the bowel, twice a day.

The popular idea seems to he that tin kst

crowd collected an una the wagon of
countryman, and we stepped up t< kri!

The wagon was drawn by a couple;
mules—one of them a rather bau Iwli
specimen, who seemed to hail from a regk
where corn and oats were rarities —tiicod

mistakable evidence, we thought, of havis
been better fed. The wagon was 1.4®

in the crowd we noticed a little blacke

when we came up in negotiating atw

for the poorest looking one.
