CURING PRACTICE.
The principle of purifying the body by purg
? g with vegetable physic is becoming moie and
i lie understood as the only sensible method by
v men sounu iieaitli can be estabiiaued. mm-
drcds ul individuals have become convinced ol
ibis doctrine, and are dai y acknowledging the
practice to be the best ever discovered. Now
is the unhealthy season when our bodies are
liable to he affected with disease; and now is
the lime the suite of the stomach and bowels
should he attended to, because on the healthy
slate of those organs depends the healthy stale
of the general system; and every one will see at
once, if the general health be had while that re
mains, local disease cannot he cured.
All the medicine that is requisite to restore
the body to a statu of health is Brandreth's Veg
etable Universal Pills, which have performed
cures upon thousands of helpless and hopeless
persons, after the uswl scientific skill of phy
sicians have consoled them wish the assurance
that ihey could do no more. The properties ol
those Pills as aim-bilious and aperient medicine
are unrhaiied; all who use them recommend
them, their virtues surpass all eulogy, and mu.5t
be used to he appreciaied. The weak and del
icate will he atreiigihcued by their use. not by
br.icing but by removing the cause of weakness,
the gross and corrupt humors of the body.
They require no change in diet or care of any
kind. Plain directions accompany each box,
so thai every one is his own competent physi
cian. Remember, none are genuine sold by
druggists.

The great celebrity ol this unrivalled Composi
tion especially in the Northern States leaves
the proprietor but little need to say any tiling in
lis favor; for it has Leen generally (-(.needed to it,
that it is beyond all comparison the best remedy
for external complaints that has ever been discov
ered, indeed the s.peed and certainty oi i;s oper
ations have the appearance of miracles : as uicers,
wornids, corns, fever sores, chiiulains, white swel
lings, tiles, piles, spider and snaks bites &c.
imiue.liately yield to us apparency super human
influence. Thus if properly app.ied it wiu temove
an inveteraie, corn or bieak and heal a biU in rive
days, will allay and perfectly cure an ulcer in two
weeks ; and the must desperate cases of white
swelling that can be imagined, have been destroyed
by it in less than two mo;.t!is. In the bites of
poisonous reptiles its eiScacy is truly "surprising;
?nd even in the bite nfa rabid dog, font applied
in time, its powers of attraction are so wonderful
that they will at once arret ihe poison and thus
prevent it from pervading the sjsiem. It is line-1
wise greatly superior to any me-licine heretofore!
discovered for the chafed backs and limbs of horses
for tellers, ring worms, chapped lips, and in
shcrt for every external bodily evil that may fall j
to the lot of man or beast. !
The proprietor has received at least a thousand
certificates and other documents, in favor of his

were written by respecjable mem!ers of the Med
ical Faculty; and m selecting from this pile the
fnttowjng sen pies, he was governed more by their
brevity, than their contents, as they all breath the
isame spirit of eulogy and satisfaction.

To Dr. Harrison, Dear bir, 1 write to con
gratulate you on the extraordinary virtue of yonr
4 Suecific Ointment,' in the curing of burns. A
little boy of mine, 4 years old, fell against the
fire-place three weeks since, whon his clothes be-
ltecaue ignited, and he was instantly enveloped
in flames. After sums 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 mucn 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
.ad effected a complete cure. 1 need scarcely
add that it ought to be in tho possession of eve

1S39; some idea may be formed how the medicine
is appieciated Irom these facts; they are indeed
the greatest blessing that ever yet has been be
stowed on man.
I have often found persons desirous to know
how som this medicine wiii cure them. It is im
possible to say it altogether depends upon the
state of the blood and humors. One thinn may
be lelied upon that if the pills are persevered i
with according to the printed direction which ac
companies each box, the cure will be effected much
sooner than the patient could have expected. 1 he
many lingering chronic diseases we daily see, are
owing either to mercury or bleeding, or to not
having been properly purged in fevers, injiamalions,
cold, measels, small pox or lying in. It is utterly
impossible for us to attain or keep health without
sound j urging. We may fasten up the disorder
by barks and tomes, but it it be in the body, it must
come out before health is enjoyed, and sooner or '
later it will break out of itelf, worse than ever, if
this method of purifying the body is delayed too
long. No danger can arise from purging with
Brandreth's Pills- It has been proved, beyond
doubt, that these celebrated Pills and ttie human
body are naturally adopted one for the other. By the
use of this Glorious Me Heine 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. Brandreth's 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
rids. 1 his will alwavs have a crood effect, be-
cause it is impossible for pain to be in the body
without the presence ot 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 h.is 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 body, as fast as nature re
quires their expulsion. And that to sorure health,
we have only to purge ourselves, until health is
restored. A practice which experience has es
tablished, is fully able to produce this result, with
out the possibility of any injurious effects. They
who have adopte 1 this simple plan have secured '
the hi st state of health their bodes were capable I
ofenjovinc The weak have become robust. The '
robust have become more so. All mankind would
be benefitted by this practice, except physicians:
Jind they would be boJily, though not profession
ally.
Let ms now recommend two things, never be
bled, and never go to a Druggist for Brandreth's
lJdls. 1 he first weakens the princiole of life, and
long keeps the blessings of health from the body,
And the last, to purchase a Pill called Brandreths i

human frame is subject, because they clog up tho
veins and arteries, and prevent the free circulation
of the blood.
Brandreth's Vegetable Universal Pills cur this
disease: because they remove the corrupt or vi

tho good humors to give life and health to the bo

PETERS' VEGETABLE PILLS.
Breathes there the man who may not be occa
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,
costiveness, megrin. tales, scurvy, spleen, pimples,
furred tongue, or offensive breath, are the inevita
ble consequences; for exubeiance 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 ninetecn
twentieths of all the medicines in the worhl 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
the celebrated and particular exception to this al
most universal rule. In them there is no gripe,
no nausea, no si kness of any kind; nay, thev are
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 the
man who uses Peters' Pills, and where is the
man that does not use them ? expels headaches,
fevers, blue devils, blotches, pimples, &c. &c. and
makes his blood course as linuid and as gently
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 1 Doubt
lessly they should, for they not only assure them
of health, complacency of spirits, and every bod
ily comfort, but thiough their miraculous agency
in the purification of the biood. speedily remove
every thing pertaining to harshness, pimples, or
casual scurvy, from the flesh, animates the eye,
and give 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 choice 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
and 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 belter and more to the point
on it, after he has vivified his system by a dose of
liom one to lour ot l'eters pills- rersons in bu-
siness, merchants, store keepers, clerks, specula-
tors, &c. will derive great advantage from them
on the same principle; lor if the mind is not buoy
ant, no man can attend to the usual pursuits ot
life with due perspicuity, judgment, and pleasure
and there is nothing in the world, at least that has
l een 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 be attributed these singular and
wonderful effects 1 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 the
blood, but create pure biood, the issue of wi ich is
healthy veins, arteries, and other functions, unob-
scured vision, firm arid pulpy flesh, smooth and
clear skin, and the consequent buoyancy of heart,
feeli.ig. 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.

It is the general fault of those who vend patent

regard ito 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

more prompt and efficacious; and I h$ve had con
siderable experience in all these complaints
1 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

LADIES' COMPANION..
New Volume commenced with the Nov. Number.
A Casrcnlatsoa e 20,000.
THE Ladies' Companion, established in May,
1834 a popular and highly esteemed magazine U
General Literature and the Fine Arts.; embellish
with gorgeous and costly engravings on steel, and
the Quarterly fashions; and also with Fashiona
ble and popular Music, arranged for the Fiano
Forte, and Guitar.
Since the publication of the number for May,
the demand for the Ladies' CompariionVjhas been
unprecedented and beyond the mos't 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. The 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 the circulation of the Ladh-s' Companion
eight thousand five hundred, at the termination of
the tenth volume. In conseounncrR nf tln rrrn.it
and unparalleled increase of new subscribers, lie
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 a those
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 $ame time he begs
to asure 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 thau any other magazine issued in
in this country, and its subscription price is only
three dollars a year, while the great combination
of taletit secured lr the coming year will render
it unequalled by any other periodical.
Splendid Steel JLngravwgs, prepared by Mr. A.
Dick, ornament the work one ot which accompa
nies each number. These plates are entirely new,,
and are engraved at a heavy expense by one of the
best arstists m America, expressly for the maga
zine. The designs are selected with a view ol 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 hist worn
out in- annuals. In addition to the engravings
mentioned, a correct plate of the Quarterly Fash
ions for Ladies4 will appear in the June, Septem

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 whese su
pervision it is placed, to make that portion of tho
magazine deserving of the countenance of every
lover of music.
Tac Work in General. Of every department an
equally careful supervision will be strictly exor
cised by the Editors, and all appropriate expe. ci
tures will be liberally bestowec, as it is the de
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 hieh
ton? of its literary articles, the quality and value
iof musk;, and the unequal splendor of its pic
toral embellishments, and the accuracy of Us quai-
terly fashions. The proprietor pledges himself to
use all honorable means to maintainthe superiori
ty which the Ladies' Companion lias 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 ihe work eminent
advantages over ah other publications
From the foregoing it will be perceived that the
Ladies' Companion embraces every department
within the range of Belles-Lettres and the Fir.c
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
nf nearly every contemporary journal in the United
States, and in fact, many on ihe other side of the
Atlantic, have strongly "assorted the .undor.in! It?
claims of the Ladies' Companion to the suppoitot
the public generally. Tin re is no wwk that r ive
