THE RESURRECTION OR

Umiiiax FuiifiATivr.. tho Matchless (priced)
Sanativx, or any other pills or compound heford
the public, as certified to by Physicians and others.
Let nono condemn lliem until nicy nave jmcu
them, and then we are certain they will not.
It is now a settled point with all who havo used
tho Vegetable Persian Pills that they are pre-emi
nently the best and most efficacious Family Mcdi
cimi that has yet been used in America. If every
family could become acquainted with their Sover
eign power over disease, they would keep Insm and
bo prepared with a sure remedy to apply on tho lira
appearance 01 disease, ami men now mucn uisire.s
would bo avoided and money saved, as well as tho
lives of thousands who are hurried out of tiruo by
neglecting discaso in its first stages, or by not being
in possession of a remedy which they can placo de
pendence upon.
The Resurrection, or Persian Pills,
The nama of these pills orcinatcd from tho cir
cumstance of tho medicine being found only in the
ccmetaries of Persia. This vegctablo production
being of a peculiar kind, led to experiments as to
ita medicinal qualities and virtues. In half a cen
tury tt became an established medicine lor tho dis
eases of that countrv. Tho extract of this singu
lar Tirmliirtion was introduced into somo parts of Eu
rope in iho year 17S3, and used by many celebrated
Physicians in curing certain diseases, wncro all oth
er mcdicino has been used in vain. Early in tho
year 171)2, the extract was combined with a certain
vegetable medicino imported lrom Dura uaca, in
tho East Indies, and formed into Pills. Tho admir
able effect of this compound upon tho human sys
tem, led physucans und lamilics into ita general
use. Their long established character their univer
sal and healinjr virtues, tho detergent and cleansing
qualities of their specific action upon tho glandular
part ol tho system, aro such as win sustain incir re
putation and general use in tho American Rcpub

CERTIFICATES.
I certify that I have, by way of experiment, used
iho Hygeau, and most of tho farious kinds ol Pills,
in mv nrar.lico. which have boruo the Inchest repute
556 563 in the public estimation, that havo been offered for
salo in this vicinity for the last five yeats, including
those called tho Resurrection or Pcrsain Pills; and
the public may rest assured that nono among tho
45 00 whole cataloguo has answered a better purpose, as
an easy and effectual remedy, than tho Resurrection
or Persian Pills, in most cases of disease.

TO MOTHERS.
McssTS. E. Chaso &. Co. Gents. Hearing
much said about tho extraordinary effects of tho
Resurrection or Persian J'ills, upon those about to
become mothers, wo were induced to make a trial of
them. Aly wife was at that llmo tho mother ol Uvo
children, and had suffered the most tedious and ex
cruciating pains during and after her confinement
of each. She had tried every moans and taken
much medicine, but found httlo or no relief. She
commenced taking tho Persian rills about threo
months before her confinement (her health being ve
ry poor about this length of time previous) and in a
short time she was enabled by their uso to attend to
tho cares of a mother to liur Umily until her con
finement. At tho timo sho commenced taking tho
Z'crsian Pills, and for several weeks pi evious, sho
wus afflicted with a diy hard cough, and ficqucnt
sovcio cramps, which tho use of the 2'illa entirely
removed beforo using half a box. It is with the
greatest confidenco that wq adviso all thoso about to
become mothers to mako uso of tho Persian Pills.
All thoso that liavo taken them in our neighbor
hood have got along in tho same easy manner, and
aro about tho houso in a few days. Phero does not
appear to bo hall the danger ot other dangers netting
in alter conhncmeiu, wncro nicso rius arc lunen.

they aro in tho reach of the poor as well as the rich.

ond perhaps save the lives of thousands which would
otherwise bo lo"it.

3 ulcers gather and break; my cough was dry and
harsh most of tho time; my liver was much swollen,
and my stomach cry dyspeptic. I had chills, fever,
and night sweat, accompanied with cxtrcmo in'tta
blcncss of tho 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 110 advantage, until I tried your Vegetable
Persian PIIIj. I began lo gain in a chort time after
I commenced taking them; and, to bo brief, before I
took '.! boxes, I was able to rido out and to take con
biderablo exercise, and at this time I enjoy good
health, and am able to do good dav'swotk. If any

will soon perceive by a casting away of the body,
attended with hectic fevera nnd tpitttng up of Jlr
id bluod and matter from ulcers on tho lungs; a pain
and weight is also experienced at the uilcclcd part
of tho lungs; tho functions of tho animal economy
grow languid; the body becomes dry; the eyes sinfc
deep within their cavities; at length the patient
pays tho debt of nature, when ho is flattering him
self wiih tho hopcj of a speedy recovery. To ob
viate all thoso distressing symptoms "Spare no
Timo" in procuring tha above Iuvaluabb Mediciao
at tho very commencement of your Co'.J. and
