" J'cters' Pills are an excellent aperimcnt and

the dillcrenco ol the quantity taken, and are deci
dcdlo superior to Lee's, Brandrclh's Morrison's
pills!"
Extract from a letter by Hopkins, of Ban
gor, Maine, Jan. u, 1838.
" They are a peculiarly mild, yet efficient purga
tive medicine; and produce little, if any griping of
nausea. I havo prescribed them with much success
in sick headaches and slight billious fevers."
Extract from a letter by Dr. Joseph Wil

1837.
" I cordially rccomtned t'ctcr'a Peters' Tills as a
mildly effective, andjn no case danccrous family

tivencss and all the usual diseases of the digestive
organs."
Extrat of a letter from Dr. Edward Smith,
of Montreal, U. C, Sept. 29 1830.
" I never knew a single patent medicine that I
could put the slightest confidence in but Dr. Peters'
Vegetable Puis, which are really a valuablo discov
ery. I have no hesitation in having it known that
I use them extensively in my practice, for all com
plaints, (and they are not a few,) which have their
source in the impurity of tho blood."
Extract of a letter from Dr. Pye, of Que

" Tor billiccs fevcTa, sick headache, torpidity of
the bowels, and etiUrgement of spleen, Dr. Peters'
Pills are an excellent medicine."

New Orleans, La. Oct. 9, 1837.
" I have received much assistance in mv practice
especially in jaund ce and yellow fever from
tho use of Peters' Pills. I presume, that on an av

Extract of a letter from Dr. Reynolds, of
Galveston, Texas, Jlpril 5, 1838.
" They are certainly an excellent general family
medicine, and there is no quackery about them."
Extract of a letter from Dr. J'ritchard, of Hudson,
N. Y. June 3, 183G.
"I was aware that Dr. Peters was one of the best
chemists in the United States, and felt assured that
he would some day (from his intimate knowleege
of the iropcrties of herbs and drugs) produce an
efficient medicine, and I must acknowledge that
his Vegetable. PilU fully respond to my expectations.
They aro indeed a superior medicine, and reflect
credit aliko upon the chemist the physician and
tho philosopher."
Extract of a letter from Dr. Waines, of Philadel
phia, 1'eb.S, 1838.
' Vour pills are the mildest in their operations,
and yet most powerful in their effects, of any that
I have ever met with in a practice of eight and
twenty years. Their action on the chyle and henco
on the impurities of the blood, is evidently very sur
prising." Extract of a letter from Dr. Scott, of Baltimore,
