JEFFERSONIAN REPUBLICAN, TO AVOID DISEASE AND ATTAIN HEALTH IS NOW IN THE POWER OF EVERY ONE. DR. BENJA MIN BRANDRETHS Vege table Universal Pills, Produced into (he Untied Slates, May 18, 1835 There has never been an instance of these cele brated Vegetable Universal Pills not giving relief' and perseverance in old, obstinate cases, is sure making a cure, provided nature is not entirely ex hausted. They have cured since their introduc tion into tins country at least 20,000 twenty thou sund persons of diseases heretofore always connfiuenr e. Thus if properly applied it will remove sidered incurable. It is only five years since I opened the first office for the exclusive sale ot tins medicine in rew York: yet, in that time 1 have sold over twelve miltionx of boxes, and have now eighteen offices for their exclusive sale, at least one in every principal city in the Union, at an ex pense ol near lorty thousand dollars per year. And with the expenses of advertising, and other incidentals, the sum was a little over One ilun- ared and .thirty liiousano dollars lor the vear 1839; some idea may be formed how the modicme is appreciated from these facts; they are indeed he greatest blessing that ever yet has been be stowed on man I have often found persons desirous to know .owsoi'Si this medicine will cure them. It is nn osstble to say it altogether depends upon the A:ae ol the blood and humors. One thing may be lelied upon that if the pills are persevered with according to the printed direction which ac- Oinpumes earn box, the cure will be cnected much ? ooner than the patient eouid have expected. The many lingerine chronic diseases we daily see, are owing either to mercury or bleeding, or to not having- been properly purged in fevers, injlamations, rold, tneascls, small pox or lying in. It is utterly impossible for us to alt tin or keep health without sound j urging. We may fasten up the disorder by barks and tonics, hut if it be in the body, it must rome out before health is enjoyed, and sooner or later it will break out of itclf, worse than ever, if his method of purifying the body is delayed too g. o danger can arise from purging with Urnndretlfs Pills- It has been proved, beyond loubt, that these celebrated Pills and the human oody are naturally adopted one for the other. By tho use of this Glorious Medicine the contents or hu mors of the body, can be entirely evacuated, al tered, and completely regenerated: and in a man ner so simple as to give every day ease and pleas ure. BrandreuYs Pills are no less a cure than a pre ventive of diseases. When we feel dull, pain in the head, back, or side weary on the least exer tion it is then we ought to take a dose of these Pills. This will always have a good effect, be cause it is impossible for pain to be in the body without the presence, of those humors which pro duce it, and it is only by their being forced out with purging that health can be restored. All that I have been able to ascertain, either by experience or from books has confirmed me in the opinion, that pain, every feeling contrary to health, is produced when the natural outlets of the body become incapable of discharging the corrupt hu mors generated in the bod as fast as nature re quires their expulsion. And that to secure health, we have only to purge ourselves, until health is restored. A practice which experience his es tablished, is fully able to produce this result, with out the possibility of any injurious effects. They wlio have adopted this simple plan have secured the best state of health their bodies were capable of enjoying. The weak have become robust. The robust have become more so. All mankind would ue benefitted by this practice, except physicians; ar.d they would be bodily, though not profession ally. Lei me now recommend two things, never be bled, and never go to a Druggist for Brandrctli's Pills. The first weakens the principle of life, and long keeps the blessings of health from the body. Ana the last, to purchase a Pill called Brandreths of a Druggist, is to insure the purchaser a base counterfeit, entirely incapable of producing the beneficial results of the genuine medicine. To in sure this it must be purchased of the undermen tioned Agents duly appointed by me, and who hold a regular certificate of aeency, which is re newed yearly. There is an agent with one of t iese certificates in every town m the United c-tate Those purchasing at wholesale, must re member that all raj travellers have a power of At rncy, regularly proved to be my act before the Clerk of the county of New York.

The great celebrity of this unrivalled Composi tion especially in the Northern States leaves the proprietor but little need to say any thing in its favor; for it has been generally conceded to it, that it is beyond all comparison the best remedy for external complaints that has ever been discov ered. Indeed the speed and certainty of its oper ations have the appearance of miracles : as ulcers, wounds, corns, fever sores, chilblains, wlu'te swel lings, biles, piles, spider and snake bites &c. immediately yield to its apparantly super human an inveterate, corn or break and heal a hue in five days, will allay and perfectly cure an ulcer in two weeks ; and the most desperate cases of white swelling that can be imagined, have been destroyed by it in less than two months. In the bites of poisonous reptiles its offieacy is truly surprising; and even in the bito of a rabid dog, for if applied in time, its powers of attraction are so wonderful that they will at oucc arrest the poison and thus prevent it from pervading the system. It is like wise greatly superior to any medicine heretofore discovered for the chafed backs and limbs of horses for tetters, ring worms, chapped lips, and in short for every external bodily evil that may fall to the lot of man or beast. The proprietor has received at least a thousand j certificates and other documents, m favor ol his " Specific Ointment" upwards a hundred of which were written by respectable members of the Med ical Faculty ; and in selecting from "this pile the following san.ples, he was governed more by their brevity, than their contents, as they all breath the same spirit of eulogy and satisfaction.

"Harrison's 'Specific Ointment" is, in my opin ion, amost important discovery; and is particular- y efficient in scrofulas, ulcers, sore legs, erup tions, and general outward complaints, speak of its merits from an experience of four years " Cincinnati, Ohio, Oct. 4, 1838. To Dr. Harrison, Dear Sir, I write to con gratulate you on the extraordinary virtue of yonr 4 Specific Ointment,' in the curing of burns. A j little boy of mine, 4 years old, fell against the fire-place three weeks since, when his clothes be becaue ignited, and he was instantly enveloped in flames. After some difficulty the fire was ex tinguished, but not before the poor little fellow's lower extremities were almost covered with a con tinual blister. Having much faith in your oint ment, I immediately purchased three boxes, which I applied unsparingly, according to your direc tions in such cases ; and it is with great pleasure and gratitude, that I am able to inform you that it allayed the pain in a few hours ; and in ten days had effected a complete cure. I need scarcely add that it ought to be in the possession of eve r' family, as there is no telling when such acci dents may occur. Yours respectfully, H. M. SHEPHARD.

The principle of purifying the body by purg ing with vegetable physic is becoming more and more understood as the only sensible method by which sound health can be established. Hun dreds of individuals have become convinced of this doctrine, and are daily acknowledging the practice to be the best ever discovered. Now is the unhealthy season when our bodies are liable to be affected with disease; and now is the time the state of the stomach and bowels should be attended to, because on the healthy state of those organs depends the healthy state of the general system; and every one will see at once, if the general health be bad while that re mains, local disease cannot be cured. All the medicine that is requisite to restore the body to a state of health is Brandrcth's Veg etable Universal Pills, which have performed cures upon thousands of helpless and hopeless persons, after the usual scientific skill of phy sicians have consoled them with the assurance that they could do no more. The properties of these Pills as ahli-bilious and aperient medicine are unrivalled; all who use them recommend them, their virtues surpass all eulogy, and must be used to be appreciated. The weak and del icate will be strengthened by their use, not by bracing but by removing the cause of weakness, the gross and corrupt humors of tho body. They require no change in diet or care of any kind. Plain directions accompany each box, so that every one is his own competent physi cian. Remember, none are genuine sold by druggists. DK.

Joseph Fiictly Peters' Celebrated Vegetable Antibilous Pills, are daily effecting some of the most astonishing and wonderful cures that have ever been known, the town and country are filled with their praise, the Palace and Poor-house alike echo with their vir tues in all climates and under all temperatures they still retain their wonderful virtues. PETERS' VEGETABLE PILLS. Breathes there the man who may nut be occa sasionally benefited by the use of Peters1 Pills f No, assuredly not ; for the human frame, like any other structure, will fall into confusion and ruin, if neglected ; but, by the aid of medicine judi ciously applied, it is enabled to preserve a heal thy and even tone ; and it is the firt of well-tc3ted public opinion, that Dr. Peters' pills are the me dicine of medicines in the prevention or cure of the general diseases which the human tenement is incidental to. Do men in robust health require medicine ? Cer tainly, for the very excess of health begets cer tain diseases unless duly regulated. If the blood is suffered to run riot without correcting laxatives, costxveness, megnn, biles, scurvy, spleen, pimples, furred tongue, or offensive breath, are the inevita ble consequences ; for oxubcrance of health, like over-rich soil, becomes rank, and prone to the pro duction of weeds, if care is not taken to have it judiciously moderated. But healthy men have an antipathy to the very name of medicine ! And no wonder, for nineteen twentieths of all the medicines in tho world com mence operations by making the people very sick, whom it was intended they should make very well; and thus in most cases the cure is considered rather worse than the disease. But Dr. Peters' Pills is tho celebrated and particular exception to this al most universal rule. In tlwm there is no gripe, no nausea, no sickness of any kind; nay, they arc absolutely very pleasant to the taste, and rest as quietly on the stomach as so many confits of green peas, even when their operations are as sudden and effective, as if they were as disagreeable and as sickening as an old fashioned bolus. Thus tho man who uses Peters' Pills, and whero is the man that does not use them 1 expels headaches, fevers, blue devils, blotches, pimples, &c. &c. and makes his blood course as linmd and as penily through his veins as a mountain rivulet, without having put himself to any more inconvenience in taking the medicine than ho would have done in swallowing so many black currants. Should ladies take Dr. Peters' Pills ? Doubt lessly they should, for they not only assure them of health, complacency of spirits, and every bod ily comfort, but through their miraculous agency in the purification of the blood, speedily remove every thing pertaining to harshness, pimples, or casual scurvy, from the flesh, animates the eye, and gives an elasticity and a vigor to the limbs, and the general carriage ; and hence, when you see a lady with a cheek of velvet softness, a pure lily and carnation complexion, and an easy & grace ful bearing, the general inference to be drawn is, that she is her own physician, and very particular in the choico of her medicine ; and the especial one, that she is a patron of Peters' Pills. Leaving health out of the question, should poets, novelists, editors, machinists, and men of genius aud science in general, patronise Peters' Pills ? Unquestionably, for the vigor which they impart to the frame, exercises a most wholesome influ ence upon the intellect : and the writer of this feels justified in saying, that any person about to carry out an idea, whether of composition or in vention, will have a more lucid understanding of his subject, and think better and more to the point on it, after he has vivified his system by a dose of from one to four of Peters' pills- Persons in bu siness, merchants, store keepers, clerks, specula tors, &c. will derive great advantage from them on the same principle; for if the mind is not buoy ant, no man can attend to the usual pursuits of life with due perspicuity, judgment, and pleasure and there is nothing in the world, at least that has been ever discovered, so efficient in brightening the faculties, and freeing them from participating in the languor, decay, and imperfectibilty of their mortal abode as Dr. Peters' pills. To what may bo attributed these singular and wonderful effects I Why, to their mysterious and inevitable action upon the chyle, and that particu lar region of the system whence the living fluid is generated ; for thus they do not only purify tho blood, but create pure blood, the issue of which is healthy veins, arteries, and other functions, unob scured vision, firm and pulpy flesh, smooth and clear skin, and the consequent buoyancy of heart, feeling, and action, in short, whether we take them as a matter of health, business, feeling, or personal appearance, there is none of us should leave our houses without a regular supply of Pe ters' Pills. More than six millions of boxes of thess cele brated pills have been sold in the United States, Canada's, Texas, Mexico, and the West Indies, since January 1835. The certificates that have been presented to the proprietor, exceed 20,000, upwards of 500 of which are from regular prac tising physicians who are tho most competent judges of their merits. TESTIMONIALS. OPINIONS OF THE REGULAR FACULTY. The following are but a few taken at random, from a pile of complimentary epistles forwarded to Dr. Peters by regular physicians, touching the efficacy of his pills. He feels pioud and grate ful in being able to lay such documents before the public. New Orleans, April 21, 1837. Dear Sir As an old classmate of yonrs in Yale college, I take the liberty of opening a correspon dence.

With sentiments of esteem, II. M. SIIEPERD, M. D. Clarkesville, Mechlenlerg Co., Va., Feb. 7, 11 Dear Sir. I embrace this opportunity of pressing to you my pleasure at the unrivalled : cess of your pills in this section of tho country. It js the general fault of those who vend p mt medicines to say too much in their favor ; b! in regard to your pills I am firmly persuaded that they deserve far more praise than you seem in clined to give them. Six months ago they were scarcely ;known here, and yet at present there is no other medicine that can compare with them in popularity. In Dyspepsia, Sick Headache, dt rangement of the Biliary organs, and obstinate constipation of the bowels, 1 know of no aprrieut more prompt and efficacious; and I have had con siderable experience in all these complaints I would add that their mildness and certainty of action render them a safe and efficient purgative for weekly individuals; and that they may be giv en at all times without apprehension of any of those injurious consequences which so frequently attend the application of calomel, or blue pill. On the whole 1 consider your Vegetable Pills an m valuablo discovery. Very respectfully, 5. HARRIS, M. D. 'Charlotte, N. C, January I, ie37 Dear Sir I have made frequent use of your pills in the incipient stage of Bilious Fever, and obstinate constipation of tho bowels; also in the enlargement of the Spleen, Chronic Disease of the Liver, Sick Headache, General Debility, and in all cases have found them to be very effective. J. D BOYD, M. D. MccUcnlerg Co., Va., February 7. 1837. Having used Dr. Peters' Pills in my practice for tho last twelve months.

Since the publication of the number for May, the demand for the Ladies' Companion has beea unprecedented and beyond the most sanguine anticipations. At the commencement of the vol ume an additional number of copies were printed, which was considered at the time adequate to sa tisfy all the orders which might be received, and leave a considerable number on hand for subse quent calls?. Tho publisher is more than gratified in stating that the whole of an edition of six thou sand, five hundred copies, was completely exhaus ted before the issuing of the third number of the volume; and, consequently, he was compelled to reprint a second edition of two thousand copies, making tlie circulation of the Ladies' Companion eight thousand live hundred, at the termination of the tenth volume, in. consequence of this great and unparalitlcd increase of new subscribers, he has determined to commence the new volume for the ensuing year with thirteen thousand : hoping" that he will thus be enabled to supply all the de mands for the Ladies' Companion, as well asthoss disappointed in commencing with the tenth vol ume. The proprietor feels grateful for that en couragement which has been so lavishly bestowed upon his magazine, and at the hame time he begs to assure the readers of the Ladies' Companion, that it is determined resolution to meet it with a. corresponding liberality to merit its continuance. The work appears in beautiful new type, printed on the finest paper ; smoothly pressed, and neatly stitched in a handsome cover. The Ladies' Companion contains a larger quan tity of reading than any other magazine issued in in this country, and its subscription price is only three dollars a year, while the great combination of talent secured for the coming year will render it unequalled by any other periodical. Splendid Steel Engravings, prepared by Mr. A. Dick, ornament the work unc of which accompa nies each number. These plates are entirely new, and are engraved at a heavy expense by one of the best arstists in America, expressly for the maga zine. The designs are selected with a view of in teresting the general reader, and enhancing the value of the work, for its superior pictoral embel lishments. It is with pride the proprietor announ ces that the Ladies' Companion is the only maga zine published, in which new and elegant steel plates appear regularly. Those accompanying other monthly periodicals, are generally first worn out in annuals. In addition to the engravings mentioned, a correct plate of the Quarterly Fash ions for Ladies, will appear in the June, Septem ber, December, and March numbers, independent of the usual embellishment. It is the determina tion of the proprietor, that these fashion plates shall appear in a style hitherto unknown, it lite rary character will undergo no change, as it will remain under the charge of the same Editors aa heretofore. Articles from the pens of the most distinguished writers, will appear in the forthconv ing numbers, among which may be enumerated the following: Mrs. Holland, Emma C. Embury Lydia H.

The Musical Department of the Ladies' Compa nion has ever commanded a large share of atten tion, and has been looked upon with no little in terest by its readers, and more especially the La dies, whom the publisher is anxious to please. It will continue to be a subject of more than usual care to him, and to the Professor under whoso su pervision it is placed, to make that portion of the magazine deserving of the countenance of every lover of music. Tae Work in General. Of every department an equally careful supervision will be strictly exer cised by the Editors, and all appropriate expej.ai tures will be liberally bestowed, as it is the do- sign of the publisher, with the aid of his contribu tors and the advice of his friends to make the La dies Companion distinguished for the beauty and accuracy of its typography, the variety and high tone of its literary articles, the quality and value of its music, and the unequal splendor of its pic toral embellishments, and the accuracy of its quar terly fashions. The proprietor pledges himself to use all honorable means to maintainthe superiori ty which the Ladies1 Companion has obtained. For five years he has steadily pursued a course of improvement, and he flatters himself that his pre sent facilities are such as to give the work eminent advantages over all other publications From the foregoing it will be perceived that the Ladies' Companion embraces every department within the range of Belles-Lettres and the Fine Arts : and no exertions or expense will be deemed too great to render the work equal to any other extant. The flattering and general testimonials of nearly every contemporary journal in the United States, and in fact, many on the other side of tho Atlantic,have strongly asserted the undeniable claims of tho Ladies' Companion to the support i the public generally.
