CATHARTIC PILLS
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
ii the Breast, Side. Bark,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 ami 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 teen avoided by the timely and judi
cious ue of a good purgative. This is alike true of Colds,
Feverish symptoms, ami Billious derangements. They
all tend to become or produce the deep seated and for
midable distempers which load the hearses all over the
land. Hence a reliable family physic is of the first im
portance to tile public health, and this Pill has been per
fected with consummate skill to meet that demand. An
extensive trial id' its virtues by Physicians, Professors,
and Patients, has shown results surpassing anything
hrtherto known of any medicine. Cures have been ef
fected beyond belief, were they not. substantiated bv 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.
ROBERT C". WINTHROP, Ex-Speaker of the House of
Representatives.
ABBOTT LAWRENCE, Minister Plen. to England.
tJOHN B. FITZPATRICK, Catholic Bishop of Boston;
also
Dr. J. R. CHILTON, Practical Chemist of New Y'ork
City, endorsed by
Hon. W. L. M ARCY, Secretary of State.
WM. B. ASTOR. the richest man in America.
S. EEL A XI) A Co., Proprietors of the Metropolitan
Hotel, and others.
Did space permit, we could give many hundred certi
ficates from all parts where the Pills have lieen used, but
evidence even uiore 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 ran afford.—
They arc compounded not of the drugs themselves, hut of
the medicinal virtues only of Vegetable remedies extract
ed by Chemical process in a state of purity, and combin
ed together in such a manner as to insure the best results.
This system of composition for medicines has been found
in Cherry Pectoral and Pills 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 ouly being retained. Hence it is self
evident the effects should prove as they have proved,
more purely remedial, and the Pills a more powerful an
tidote to disease than any other medicine known to the
world.
As it is frequently expedient that many medicines
should lie taken under the counsel of an attending Physi
cian, and as he could not properly judge of a remedy
without knowing its composition, 1 have suppled the ac
curate Formulae by which both my Pectoral and Pills are
made, to the whole body of Practitioners in the United
States anu British American Provinces. If however there
should lie any one who has not received them, they will
be forwarded by mail to his request.
Of all the Patent Medicines that are offered, how few
would be taken it their composition was known ! Their
life consists in their mystery. 1 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 be 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 tocertify that their anticipations were more
than realized by their effects upon trial.
They operate by their powerful influence on the inter
nal viscera to purify the blood and stimulate it into heal
thy action—remove the obstructions 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 deraugemeuts as art the first origin of
disease.

GREAT IMPROVEMENT IN WATER PIPE
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 attention of Rail
road Superintendents, Pump Dealers, Farmers, Village
Corporations and all others in want of cheap and durable
Water Conductors, to the Pipes manufactured by this pro
cess. They are made from solid Pine and other scantling
from 3 to t> 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, tlie timt>er need only be large enough to sustain the
pressure wanted, as the smaller they are the more perfect
ly they become saturated with water, and the longer they
will bust 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 sharpeued end will fie sound ;
at the same time they never stop up from impurities of
the water or being flattened, are free from rust or poison
ous oxydes, lasting about as long as lead or iron, at only
one-sixth the cost.
The above-mentioned Pipes have tieen extensively and
thoroughly tested in most of the Northern States, for the
piust two years, and wherever introduced they immediate
ly supersede all other kiuds 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.
