CATHARTIC PILLS
VNEW and singularly successful remedy for the cure
of all Billions diseases—Costiveness, Indigestion
| Jaundice, Dropsy, Rheumatism, Fevers'Gont, Humors,
'• Nervousness, irritability. Inhumations, 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 nmch
sicklies., and suffering might be prevented, if a harmless
ii.it effectual Cathartic were more freely used. No per
son can feel well while a costive habit of body prevails :
liesides it soon generates scrioffs and often fatal diseases
which might have been avoided by the timely and judi
cious u*o of a good purgative. This is alike true of Colds,
Feverish symptoms, and Billions derangements. They
all tend to liccnme or produce the deep seated and for
midable distempers which load the hearses all over the
laud. Hence a reliable family physic is of the lirst im
portance to the public health, and thi* 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 anvrthing
hitherto known of any medicine. Cures have been ef
fected U voud belief, were they not substantiated by per
sons of such exalted positions and character as to forbid
the suspicion of untruth.
Am nig the eminent gentlemen who have testified in
favor of these Pills, we may mention :
Port. 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<>BKRT C. WINTUROP, Ex-Speaker of the House of
Representatives.
ABBOTT LAWRENCE. Minister Plcn. to England.
fJOHN B. FITZPATRICK, Catholic Bishop of Boston:
also
I>r. J. n. CHILTON, Practical Chemist of New York j
City, endorsed by
lion. W. J„ M ARC Y, Secretary of State.
WM. 15. ASTOIt, tiie richest man in America.
S. KKLANPA; Co., Proprietors of tlse Metropolitan
Hotel, and others.
Did space permit, we could give many hundred certi
ficates from all parts where the Pills have been used, but
evidence even more convincing than the experience of j
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 la st and most complete
which the present state of medical science can afford.— I
They are compounded not of the drugs themselves, but of i
the medicinal virtues only of Vegetable remedies extract
ed by < hcoiical process in a state of purity, and cotnbin- j
ed together in such a manner ;.s to insure the best results. !
This system of composition for medicines lias been found .
in Cherry Pectoral and Pills both, to produce a more ef- ■
ticient remedy than had hitherto been obtained by any i
process. The reason is perfectly obvious. While by the 1
old mode of coin position, every modi-inets burdened with
more or less of acrimonious and injurious qualities, by j
this each individual virtue only that is desired for the cu
rative effect, is present. All the inert, and obnoxious 1
qualities of each substance employed are left behind, the '
curative virtues only being retained. Hence it i.s sell >
evident the etVcts should prove as they have proved. '
more purely remedial, and the Pills a more powerful an- j
tidote to disease than any other medicine known to the !
world.
As it is frequently expedient that many medicines j
should be taken underthc counsel of an attending Physi
cian, and as he could not properly judge of a remedy
without knowing its composition, I have suppled the ae- ■
curate Formula: iv which both my Pectoral and Pills are j
made, to the wlnde body of Practitioners in the United
States aim British American Provinces. If however there j
should be 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 j
would be taken it their composition was known ! Their j
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 j
merits. The Cherry Pectoral was pronounced by scienti-!
tic men to lie a wonderful medicine before its effects were
known. Many eminent Physicians have declared the j
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 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 derangements as are the first origin of
disease.

GREAT IMPROVEMENT IN WATER PIPE
CHAIN PUMP TUBING.
11 lllE subscriber having lately commenced the manufac
-1 ture of WATER TUBING, at Wilkcs-Barrc. Pa. with
WYCKOFF'S PATENT BORING MACHINE,
which produces the article so long sought after by I'ump
Manufacturers and others, would call the attention of Bail
road Superintendents, Pump Dealers, Farmers, Village
Corporations aud 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 G inches square, accouling to size of bore and
pressure required, in sections 6 feet long, with a socket
joint accurately fitted, both air and water tight. As Wy
chott's 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 perfect
ly they become saturated with water, aud the longer they
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 w ill be sound ;
at the sanie time they never stop up from impurities of
the water or being battened, are free from rust or
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 tlie
past two years, and wherever introduced they immediate
ly supersede all other 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.
