Elmira,'April 7, IS.SG. n-44-12m ANEW and singularly successful remedy for the cure of all Billious diseases—Costiveness, Indigestion Jaundice, Dropsy, Rheumatism, Fevers "Gout, Humors, Nervousness, Irritability, Inflamations, Headache, Pains In the Breast, Side, Back, and Limbs, Female Complaints, Ac., Ac. Indeed very few are the diseases in which a Purgative Medicine is not more or less required, and much sickness and suffering might be prevented, if a harmless but effectual Cathartic were more freely used. No per son can feel well while a costive habit of body prevails ; besides it soon generates serious and often fatal diseases, which might have been avoided by the timely and jndi j eious use of a good purgative. This is alike true of Colds, ! Feverish symptoms, and Billions derangements. They all tend to liecome or produce the deep seated and for- I midable distempers which load the hearses all over the land. Hence a reliable family physic is of the first im portance to the public health, and this Pill has been per fected with consummate skill to meet that demand. An extensive trial of its virtues by Physicians, Professors, and Patients, has shown results surpassing anything hitherto known of auy medicine. Cures have been ef fected beyond belief, were they not substantiated by per sons of such exalted positions and character as to forbid the suspicion of untruth. Among the eminent gentlemen who have testified in favor of these Pills, we may mention : Doct. A. A. HAYES, Analytical Chemist of Boston, and State Assayer of Massachusetts, whose high Profes sional character is endorsed by the— Hon. EDWARD EVERETT, Senator of the United States. R< IBERT C. WIXTHROP, Ex-Speaker of the House of Representatives. A BBOTT LAWRENCE, Minister Plen. to England. •fJOHN B. FITZPATRICK, Catholic Bishop of Boston; also Dr. J. R. CHILTON, Practical Chemist of New York City, endorsed ly lion. W. L. MARCY, Secretary of State. WM. B. ASTOR, the richest man in America. S. EELAND A Co., Proprietors of the Metropolitan Hotel, and others. Did space permit, we could give many hundred certi ficate- from ail parts where the Pills have been used, hut evidence even more convincing than the experience of eminent public men, is found in their effects upon trial. These Pills, the result of long investigation and study, are offered to the public as the best and most complete which the present state of medical science can afi'ord.— They are compounded tint of the drugs themselves, but of the medicinal virtues only of Vegetable remedies extract ed by Chemical process in a state of purity, aud combin ed together in such a manner as to insure the best results, fins sy.-tein of composition for medicines has been found in cherry Pectoral and l'ills both, to produce a more ef ficient remedy than had hitherto been obtained by any process. The reason is perfectly obvious. While by the old mode of composition, every medicine is burdened with more or less of acrimonious and injurious qualities, by this each individual virtue only that is desired for the cu rative effect is present. All the inert and obnoxious qualities of each substance employed are left behind, the curative virtues only being retained. Hence it is self evident the effects should prove as they have proved, more purely remedial, and ttie Pills a more powerful an tidote to disease than any other medicine kuown to the world. As it, is frequently expedient that many medicines should be taken under the connsel of an attending Physi cian, and as he could not properly judge of a remedy without knowing its composition, I have suppled the ac curate Formula by which both my Pectoral and Pills are made, to the whole body of Practitioners in the United States auu British American Provinces. If however there should lie any one who has not received them, they will he forwarded by mail to his request. Of Mil the Patent Medicines that are offered, how few would lie taken it their composition was known ! Their life consists in their mystery. I have no mysteries. The composition of my preparations is laid open to all men. and all who are competent to judge on the subject freely acknowledge their convictions of their intrinsic merits. The Cherry Pectoral was pronounced by scienti fic men to he a wonderful medicine before its effects were known. Many eminent Physicians have declared the same thing of my Pills, and even more confidently, and are willing to certify that their anticipations were more than realized by their effects upon trial. They operate by their powerful infiuence on the inter nal viscera to purify the blood and stimulate it into heal thy action—remove the obstruct ions of the stomach, bow els, liver, and other organs of the body, restoring their irregular action to health, and by correcting, wherever they exist, such derangements as are the first origin of disease.

JOHN C ARM AX. Towanda, Oct. 22, 1856. GREAT IMPROVEMENT IN WATER PIPE AND CHAIN PUMP TUBING. THE subscriber having lately commenced the manufac ture of WATER TUBING, at Wilkes-Barre, Pa. with WYCKOFF'S PATENT BORING MACHINE, which produces the article so long sought after by Pump Manufacturers and others, would call the nttention of Rail road Superintendents, Pump Dealers, Farmers, Village Corporations and all others in want of cheap and durable Wate. Conductors, to the Pipes manufactured by this pro cess. They are made from solid Pine and other scantling from 3 to ti inches square, according to size of bore and pressure required, in sections 8 feet long, with a socket joint accurately fitted, both air and water tight. As Wy choffs Machine bores directly through the centre every time, the timber need only be large enough to sustain the pressure wanted, as the smaller they are the more pertect fy they become saturated with water, and the longerthey will last when laid in the ground. It is a well-ascertain ed fact that while the body or thick part of a pump log is entirely decayed, the thin sharpened end will be sound ; at the same time they never stop up from impurities of the water or being flattened, are free from rnst or poison ous oxydes, lasting about as long as lead or iron, at only one-sixth the cost. The above-mentioned Pipes have been extensively and thoroughly tested in most of the Northern States, for the past two years, and wherever introduced they immediate ly supersede all otliw kinds of Pipe or Chain Pump Tub ing. They can be made to stand any desirable head of water, and can be shipped to any part of the country with safety and at small expense. HS*Orders solicited and filled with despatch. Address E. S.
