It is now a settled point with nit who havq used
tho Vegetable Persian Pills that they are pre-eminently
tho best and moat efficacious Family Modi
cum that has yet been used in America. 11 every
family could become acquainted with their Sovcr
cign power over disease, they would keep them and
bo prepared with a suro remedy to apply on tho firs
appearance of disease, nlid then how much distress
would bo avoided ond money saved, as well as tho
lives of thousands who aru hurried out of timo by
neglecting disease in its first stages, or by not being
in possession of a remedy which they can place de
pendence upon.
7'fie Hcsvrreclion, or Persian Pills.
Tho name of the so pilld orginatcd from the cir
cumstance of tho medicine being found only in tho
ccmetaries of Persia. This cgctabIo production
being of a peculiar kind, led to experiments as to
ita medicinal qualities and virtues. In half a' cen
tury it became an established medicino for tho dis
eases of that country. Tho extract of this singu
lar production was introduced intp sumo parts of Eu
rooo in tho year 1783, and used by many celebrated
Physicians in curing certain diseases, whero all oth
er medicine ms been used in vain. Early in the
year 1792, the extract was combined with a certain
vegetable medicino imported from Dura Uacn, in
tho East Indies, audfornicd into Pills. The admir
able effect of this compound upon the human sys
tem, led physiicans and lanulies into its general
use. I heir long established character their univer
sal and healing virtues, tho detergent and cleansing
qualities of their specific action, upon tho glandular
part ol tho system, are bucIi as .will sustain tucir re
putation and "general use in tho American I'cjmb-
lic.
CERTIFICATES.
I certify that I have, by way of experiment, used
tho Hygcan, and mostof tho various kinds ol 'Pills,
in .my practice, which have homo th highest repute
in tho public estimation, that havo been offered for
siilo in this vicinity for tho last five years, including
thoso called tho Jtcsurrcction or l'ersam. Pills; and
the public may rest assured that none among tho
whole catalogue has answered u better purpose, as
an easy and effectual remedy, than the Resurrection
or Persian Pills, in most cases of disease.

Mcssts. E. CInio & Co. Gents. Hearing
much said about tho extraordinary effects of tho
Resurrection or Persian J'ills, upon thoso about to
becomo mothers, wo were induced to mako a trial of
them. My wife was at that time tho mother of livo
children, and had suffeicd tho most tedious and ex
cruciating pains during and after her confinement
of each, bho had tried every means and taken
much medicine, but found little or no relief. She
commenced taking tho Persian i'ills about threo
months before her confinement (her health being ve
ry poor about this length of time previous) and in a
sliort timo sho was enabled by their use to attend to
tho cares of n mother to hor family until her con
finement. At tho tima blio commenced taking tho
Persian Pills, and for sovcral weeks pi cvious, sho
ond perhaps save the lives of thousands which would
otherwise ho lost.

I think it my duty to let you know what a great
euro your Pills have performed on me I had been
sick about 7 years - about a years and a half con

with Consumption, by twelvu physicians of tho first
standing; my lungs were seriously affected; I had
3 ulcers gather and break; my cough was dry and
harsh mostof tho time; my liver was much swollen,
and my stomach very dyspeptic. I had chills, fever,
and night sweat, accompanied with extreme iriita
blcness of the nervous system, and other difficulties)
which I forbear to mention. After I was given over,
I tried almost all medicines which were advertised
but to no advantage, until I tried your Vegetable1
Persian Pills. I began to gain in a short time after
I commenced taking them; and, to bo brief, before I
took 3 boie3, 1 iva3 ablo to ride out and to lake con
