For who is so foolish as not t enjoy all thz health that his body is capable of! Who is there tbut would not live when his experience can so much li.q.efit himself and family! It is a melancholy fact that n very large proportion of the most usefol members of society die between the ages of thirty and forty. How mtny widows and helpl..4s orphans have been the consequence. of mondkind not having, in their own power the moan, of restoring health a hen lost. Now all these dangers and difficulties can be preven ted and the long and certain sickness. and by assisting, nature m the outset, with a good *lose of Brandreth's Pills. This is a fact, well understood to he 4‘43 by thou sands of our citizens. This medicine, if taken so as to purge freely, will surely cure any curable dis-mse.— Thore is no form or kind of sickness that it does not exert a curative infloence upon. Thus, by their pow er in resisting putrefaction, they cure measles, small pox. worms and all contageous fevers. There is note medicine in the world so able to purify the mass of blood, and restore it to a healthy condition, 11.3 the Brandreth Pills. The Brandreth Pills are purely vegetable, and so innocent that the infant of a month old may use them, if medicine is required. not only with safety but with a eertainty of receiving all the benefit medicine is capa ble ofimparting. Females may use them in all the crit eal periods of their lives. The Brandreth Pills will insure their health, and prosloce regularity ir all the functions of life.. The same may he said of Br andreth's external remedy, as an out+•ard application to all external pains or swellings, or sores, it greatly assists the core. %Vhen inert where the skin is very tender or broken, it shnuld be mixed with one or two pints of water. A sure lest of genuine Brand, elh Pills.—Exam ine the box of Pills. Then look at the certificate of „ agency, whose engraved ate must be within the year, which every authorised agent must possess; if the three labels on the box agree with the throe labels on the net t,ficate, the Pills are trtie—if not, they are false.

From the known reputation of Dr. Leidy's Blood Pill, it is necessary to remind the public where they can at all times procure the genuine, as it is attempted to impoue other pills, called the •Blood Pills' upon the • public on the reputation of Dr. Leidy's. r4P'Be par ticular and ask for Dr. Leidv's Sarsaparilla ood Pills and see that the name of N B.

There, else, it slaves, in the lapse of time, from the density of populationend othei . causes, are emancipated, they will"disippear from time to time west cf the Del Norte, and beyond the limits of the 'Union, among race of chair owe oder; will be diffused throughout this .vast region.where they - will not be a degraded cane and where, as to and'social end moral pandition, and all the hopea liin Z comforts of life, they pall occupy, alpallg equate, a pox . sition they can never attain in any part of this Union , The reannexation of Texas would strengthen anti, :-- fortify the whole Union, and antedate the period wbra our own country erould be the first and greateseelf ell the powers of the earth.
