RegiStrt's Office, ) Sunbury, July 7, 1855- J AYER'S PILLS, A NSW and singularly successful remedy for the cure of all Bilious diseases Costivcncss, Indi gestion, Jaundice, Dropsy, Rheumatism, Fevers, (iout, Humors, Nervousness, Irritability, Inflamma tions, Headache, Puins in the Breast, Side, Back, and Limbs, Female Complaints, &c.,&c. Indeed, very few are the diseases in which a Purgative Medi cine is not more or less required and much sick ncss and suffering might be prevented, if a harm !ci but effectual Cathartic were more freely ued. No person con feci well while a costive habit of body prevails ; besides it soon generates serious and often fata) ditteasrs, which might have been avoided bv the timely and judicious use of a good purgative. This is alike true of Colds, Feverish symptoms, and Bilious derangements. They all tend to become or produce the deep seated and formidable distempers which load the hearses all over the land. Hence a reliable family physic is of the first importance to the public health," and this Pill has been perfected with consummate skill to meet that demand. An extensive trial of its virtues by Physicians, Profes sors, and Patients, has shown results surpassing any thing hitherto known of any medicine. Cures huve been effected beyond belief, were they not sub stantiated by persons of such exalted position and character as to forbid the suspicion of untruth. Amouo; the mauv eminent gentlemen who have testified in favor of these Pills, we may mention : Liu. A. A. IIatiu, Analytical ChetnUt, of Boston, and P'utc Asnayer of Massachusetts, whose high professional character is endorsed by the Hon. Kiiwahu Eykhktt, Senator of the IT. 8. HoiikutCWinthkoi, Ex-Speaker of the House of Representative. Amiott I.awrkncb, Minister Tien, to Kntrland. t Jons B.Fm.rATKicK.Cath. Bishop of Boston. Aim, Dr. J. U. Chilton, Practical Chemist, of New York City, endorsed by Hon. W. U Makcy, Secretary of State. Wm. B. Artok, the richest man in America. 8. I.klani) & Co., Tropr's of tho Metropolitan Hotel, and others. Hid space permit, we could give many hundred ccrtiticules, from all parts where tho Pills have been used, but evidence even more convincing than the experience of eminent public men is found in their effects upon trial. These PilU, the result of long investigation and study, are offered to the public as the bast and most complete which the present state of atrdicaj science can afford. They are compounded not of the drutrs themselves, but of the medicinal virtues only of Vegetable remedies, extracted by cheaursl process in a state of purity, and combined together in such a manner as to insure the best results. This system of composition for medicines has been found iu the Cherry Pectoral and Pills both, to produce a more emcient remedy than had hitherto been1 ob tained by anv process. The reason is perfectly ob vious. While by the eld mode of composition, ev ery medicine is burdened with more or less of acri monious and injurious qualities, by this each indi vidual virtue only that is desired for the curative effect is present. AU the inert and obnoxious qual ities of each substance employed are left behind, the curative virtues only being retained. Hence it is self-evident the effects should prove as they hav proved more purely remedial, and the Fills a surer, more powerful antidote to disease than any other medicine known to the world. As it is frequently expedient that my medicine should ba taken under the counsel of an attendina Physician, and as he aould not properly judge of a remedy without knowing its composition, I have supplied the accurate Formulas by which both my i cctorai ana rills are made to tne whole body ol rracn turner in toe united Mates ana onosa Amer ican Province. If however there should be any one who has not received them, they will be promptly forwarded by mau to his address. Of all the Patent Medicines that are offered, how few would be taken if their composition was known I Their life consist in their mystery. I hav no myiterie. The composition of my preparations is laid open to all men. and all who are comoetent to iudne on the subject freely acknowledge their convictions of their intrinsic merits. The Cherry Pectoral was pronounced by scientific men to be a wonderful medicine before its enect were known. Many em inent Physicians hav declared the same thing of tnv Pills, and even more confidently, and are will ing to certify that their anticipation were mor than realised by their effects upon trial. They operate by their powerful influence on th internal viscera to purify the blood and stimulate it into healthv action remove the obstructions of the stumavh, bowels, liver, and other organs of th body, restoring their irregular action to health, and by correcting, wherever they exist, such derange ments as are the first origin of disease Beine sugar wrapped they are pleasant to tak. and being purely vegetable, no harm can aria from weir use in any quantity.
