It is now a settled point with nil who have used
tho Vccetablo Persian Pills that they aro pre-emi
nently the best and most efficacious Family Medi
cine that has yet been used in America. It every
family could become acquainted with their Sovcr
cign power over disease, thoy would keep tliem and
bo prepared with a suro remedy to apply on tho firs
appearance of disease, and then how much distress
would bo avoided and monoy saved, as well as tho
lives of thousands who aro hurried out of timo by
neglecting disease in its first stages, or by not being
in possession of a remedy which they can placo do
pendenco upon.
The Resurrection, or Persian Pills.
The namo of theso pills orginatcd from the cir-
cumstanco of tho mcdicino being found only in the
ccmctarics of Persia. This vegetable 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 medicine for tho dis
eases of that country, Tho extract of this singu
lar production was introduccdinto somo parts of Eu
rope in the year 1783, and used by many celebrated
Physicians in curing certain diseases, where all oth
er medicine has been used in vain. Early in the
year 1702, the extract was combined with a certain
vegetable medicine imported from Dura Baca, in
the East Indies, and formed into Pills. The admir
able effect of this compound upon tho human sys
tem, led physiicans and families into its general
use, Tlicir long established character their univer
sal and healing virtues, the detergent and cleansing
qualities of their specific action upon tho glandular
part of tho system, are such as will sustain their re
putation and general use in the American Republic.
CERTIFICATES.
I certify thit I have, by way of experiment, used
tho Hygcan, and most of tho various kinds ol Pills,
in my practice, which havo borno the highest rcputa
in the public estimation, that havo been offered for
sale in this vicinity for tho last five yeais, including
those called tho Resurrection or J'ersain Tills; and
the public may rest assured that none among tho
whole catalogue has answered a better purpose, as
an easy and effectual remedy, than the Resurrection
or Persian Fills, in most coses of disease.

TO MOTHERS.
Messrs. E. Chaao & Co. Gents. Ilearins
much sdid about tho extraordinary effects of the
Resurrection or Persian Pills, upon those about to
become mothers, we were induced to make a trial of
them. My wifo was at that time the mother of fivo
children, and had suffcicd the most tedious and ex
cruciating pains during and after her confinement
of each. She had tried every means and taken
much medicine, but found littlo or no relief, Sho
commenced taking the Persian Pills about thrco
months before her confinement (her health being ve
ry poor about this length of timo previous) and in a
short time bhe was enabled by their uso to attend to
tho cares of a mother to her family until her con
finement. At the tima she commenced taking the
Persian Pills, and for several weeks pi evious, sho
was afflicted with a dy hard cough, and frequent
seveio cramps, which tho uso of the Pills entirely
removed beforo using half a box. It is with tho
greatest confidence that wo advise all those about to
become mothers to mako uso of tho Persian Pills.
All those that havo taken them in our neighbor
hood havo got along in tho same easy manner, and
are about the house in a few days. There docs not
appear to be half tho danger of other dangers setting
in after confinement, where theso Pills are taken,
Wo unitedly' say.let nono neglect taking them, for
they are in the reach of the poor as well as tho rich.
Wo are truly thankful that there is a remedy which
females can easily procure which lends to lessen tho
world of suffering, which many of them have to bear,
and perhaps save the lives of thousands which would
otherwise bo lost.

and night sweat, accompanied with extreme initu
blencss of tho nervous system, and other difficulties
which I forbear (o mention.. Aftcrl was given ovor,
I tried almost all medicines- which wcro advertised
but to no advantage, tfnfif I tried yoar Vcgctablo
Persian Pills. I began to sin in tt &h6r'. timo after
I commenced taking them; and, to' be brief, beforo I
took 3 boxes, I was abb to ride out and to tako con
