JEFKJKKSOMAN REPUBLICAN. THE CONSTITUTION. What is that we call the Constitution 1 The onstitution is evidently that which constitutes, nd that which constitutes is the blood. We. there- ore, know that the blood is the constitution, and hat a good or bad constitution is neither more nor ess than a good or bad state of the blood., There is no person who, having lost health, does not wish to have it restored. Use theh the proper means. Ex pel with Purgative Medicine all currupt humors from the body, and the blessing, Health, will be the certain result: for all pains or unpleasant feel ings proceed irom the presence of corrupt or vi tiated humors, which are the real cause of every disease, and therefore the only disease to which the human frame is subject, because they clog up the veins and arteries, and prevent the free circulation of the blood. Brandrcth's Vegetable Universal Pills cure this disease : because they remove the corrupt or vi tiated humors by the stomach and bowels, leaving .1 i ..... - . 7 o tne good numors to give We and health to the bo dy.

BENJA MJN BRAND RE TIPS Vege table Universal Pills, Introduced into the United States, 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 this country at least 20,000 twenty thou sand persons of diseases heretofore always con sidered incurable. It is only Jive years since I opened the first office for the exclusive sale of this medicine in New York; yet, in that time I have sold over ticelve millions 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 of near fort' thousand dollars per year And with the expenses of advertising, and other incidentals, the sum was a little over One Hun dred and Thirty Thousand Dollars for the year 1S39; some idea may be formed how the medicine is appreciated from 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 soon this medicine will cure them. It is im possible to say it altogether depends upon the state of the blood and humors. One thing may be'ielied upon that if the pills are persevered with according to the printed direction which ac companies each box, the cure will be effected much sooner than the patient could have expected. The many lingering chronic diseases we daily see, are owing either to mercury or bleeding, or to not having been properly purged in fevers, injlamations, cold, mc&scls, small pox or lying in. It is utterly impossible for us to attain or keep health without sound purging. We may fasten up the disorder by barks and tonics, but if it be in the bod)', it must come out before health is enjoyed, and sooner or later it will break out of itself, worse than ever, if "his method of purifying the body is delayed too Imig. No danger can arise from purging with Brandreth's Pills- It has been proved, beyond doubt, that these celebrated Pills and the human body are naturally adopted one for thejother. By the use of this Glorious Medicine the contents or hu mors of the body, can be entirely evacuated, al tered, and complete!)' regenerated: and in a man lier 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 t e head, back, or side wear)' 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 thatl have been able to ascertain, either by vperience or from books has confirmed me in the pinion, that pain, every feeling contrary to health is produced when the natural outlets of the body I'fvome incapable of discharging the corrupt hu 'nors generated in the body, as fast as nature re-r-iires their expulsion. And that to secure health, ne 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 vcuo have adopted this simple plan have secured ''ie best state of health their bodes were capable of enjoying. The weak have become robust. The robust have become more .so. All mankind would be benefitted 'by this practice, except physicians; and they would be bodily, though not profession ally. Let me now recommend two things, never be lcd, and never go to a Druggist for BrandretWs Pills. The first weakens the principle of life, and ng keeps the blessings of health lrom the body. And the last, to purchase a Pill called Brandreths (fa Druggist, is to insure the purchaser abase counterfeit, entirely incapable of producing the t( :ieficial results of the genuine medicine. To in i rc this it must be purchased of the undermen tioned Agents duly appointed by me, and who .hoid a regular certificate of agency, which is re- :owed yearly. There is an agent with one of ttiese certificates in every town in the United States. Those purchasing at wholesale, must re nioiuber that all my travellers have a power of At torney, regularly proved to be my act before the Clerk of the county of New York.

The principle of purifying the body by purg ing with vegetable physic is becoming more and more understood as the only sensible method by T 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 stale 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 bodv to a state of health is Brandreth's Vcg etablc 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 aiiti-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 bv 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 that ever)' one is his own competent physi cian. Remember, none are genuine sold by druggists. DR.

The great celebrity of this unrivalled Compost tion especially in the Northern Slates leaves the proprietor but little need to say any thing in its lavor; lor it has been generallv conceded to it, that it is beyond all comparison the best remedy tor 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, white swel lings, biles, piles, spider and snake bites &c. immediately yield to its apparantly super human influence. Thus if properly applied it will remove an inveterate, corn or break and heal a bile 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 efficacy is truly surprising; and even in the bite of a rabid dog, for if applied in time, its powers of attraction are so wonderful that they will at once 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 certificates and other documents, in favor of 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 samples, he was governed more by their brevity, than their contents, as they all breath the same spirit of eulogy and satisfaction. ' CERTIFICATES. Albany, July 9, 1837. To. Dr Harrison, Sir- I use your Specific Oint ment in my practice and cordially recommend it as a most efficient remedy for Tumors, Ulcers, White Swellings, Scrofula, Rheumatic Pains, Chapped Face, Lips and Hands ; and for general and external complaints, i write this at the re quest of your agent here, who furnishes me with the article, and am pleased to have it in my power to award honor to merit. RUFUS R. BEACH, M D Extract of a Letter from Dr. J. W. Sanders, ) of Louisville. Ky. October 8, 1837. $ " I am prepared to say, that for Rheumatic Pains and the Sore Breasts of females, Harrison's Spe cific Ointment has no superior, if indeed it nas any equal, in the whole catalogue of external me dicines, as known and prescribed in this country." Extract of a letter from Dr Potts, of Utica, N Y. Dated July 28, 1838. " Harrison's 'Specific Ointment" is, in my opin ion, a most important discovery; and is particular ly 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 Specific Ointment,' in the curing of burns. A 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 ry fami'y, as there is no telling when such acci dents iuav occur. Ynurs respectfully, II. M. SHEPIIARD.

JOB WORK Of all kinds nealty- executed this Office. at KEEP IT BEFORE THE JPEOPILE. Bod. Joseph Priestiy Peters5 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 not be occa sasionally benefited by the use of Peters' Pills ? 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-tested 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 1 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, biles, scurvy, spleen, pimples, furred tongue, or offensive breath, are the inevita ble consequences ; for exuberance of health, like over-rich sou, 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 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 worsG 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 sickness of any kind; nay, they 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 limpid and as gently through his veins as a mountain rivulet, without having put himself to any more inconvenience in taking the medicine than he 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 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 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 tliis 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 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 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 these 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 the most competent judges of their merits. TESTIMONIALS. OPINIONS OF THE ItEGULAIt FACULTY. The following are but a few takemat random, from a pile of complimentary epistles forwarded to Dr. Peters by regular physicians, touching the efficacy of his pills. He feels proud and grate ful in being able to lay such documents before the public. New Orleans, April 24, 1837. Dear Sir As an old classmate of yonrs in Yale college, I take the liberty of opening a correspon dence. I learn that you are making a fortune by the sale of your pills, which I trust is the case as I am ful ly aware that through them you are conferring a great blessing on the public. 1 myself am among those who have been pecul iarly benefited by their use. Since my arrival here I had been subject to severe bilious attacks, which had nearly brought me to the grave, but (and I acknowledge it with gratitude,) a few box es of your pills have completely restored me. I would add that their effect upon Sick Headache and sour stomach is almost miraculous. With sentiments of esteem, II. M. SHEPERD, M. D. Clarkcsvillc, Mccklenberg Co., Va., Feb. 7, 1837. Dear Sir. I embrace this opportunity of ex pressing to you my pleasure at the unrivalled suc cess of youi pills in this section of the country. It is the general fault of those who vend patent medicines to say too much in their favor ; but in regard to your pills I am. firmly persuaded that they deserve far more praise thaii you' seem in clined to give them. Six months ago they were scarcely known here, and ydt at present there is no other medicine that can compare with them in popularity. In Dyspepsia, -Sick Headache, de rangement of the Biliary organs, and obstinate constipation of the bowels, 1 know of no aperient more prompt and efficacious; and I have had con siderable experience m 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 I consider your Vegetable Pills an in valuable discovery. Very respectfully, S. H HARRIS, M. D. Charlotte, N. C, January 1, 1837 Dear Sir 1 have made frequent use of your pills in the incipient stage of Bilious Fever, and obstinate constipation of the bowels; also in the enlargement of the Spleen, Chronic Diseases of tne .Liver, bick Headache, General Debility, and in all cases have found them to be very effective. . D. BOYD, M. D. Mecklenbcrg Co., Va., February 7. 1837. Having used Dr. Peters' Pills in my practice for the last twelve months. 1 take pleasure in giv ing my testimony of their good effects in cases of Dyspepsia, Sick Headache, Bilious Fevers, and other diseases, produced by inactivity of the liver. They are a safe and mild aperient, being the best article of the kind I have ever used. GEORGE C. SCOTT, M. D. Extract of a letter by Dr. Joseph Williams, of Bur lington, Vt.July 0, 1837. "I cordially recommend Peters' Pills as a mild ly effective, and in no case dangerous family me dicine. They are peculiarly influential in cos tiveness and all the usual diseases of the digestive organs." Extract of a letter from Dr Edward Smith,, of Mon treal, U. C. September, 29, 1836 " I never knew a single patent medicine that I could put the slightest confidence in but Dr Peters' Vegetable pills, which are really a valuable dis covery. I have no hesitation in having it known that I use them extensively in my practice, for all complaints, (and they are not a few,) which have their source in the impurity uf the blood." Extract of a letter from Dr Pye, of Quebec, L- C, March 6, 1837 " For bilious fevers, sick headaches, torpidity of the bowels, and enlargement of the spleen, Dr Pe ters' pills are an excellent medicine." Those who have used these valuable Pills in this State, give them the preference to all other kind. Prepared by Joseph Priestly Peters, M.

The repeated changes in the atmosphere, bv act ing as they do upon the consistence and quality of ine viooa, give occasion lor tne most latai anu ma lignant disorders. The blood from a state of health becomes stagnant and is plunged into a state of corruption. Thus it loses its purity: its circulation is impe ded; the channels of life are clogged; the bowels be come costive, and if not an immediate attack of some malignant fever, headache, nausea, loss of appetite, and a general debility of the whole frame are sure to follow. It requires the tempest and the tornado to bring about a state of purity in the ocean, when its wa ters become stagnant; and it will require repeat ed evacuation by the stomach and bowels before the blood can be lclieved of its accumulated im purity. Brandrettis Vegetable Universal Pills, should be taken, then there will be no danger; be cause they purge from the stomach and bowels these humors which are the cause of stagnation, cleanse the blood from all impurities, remove every cause of pain or weakness, and preserve the consti tution in a state of health and vigor that causual changes cannot effect.

Nwntl A .Circulation of 20,0&0. THE Ladies' Companion, established in Mar 1S34 a popular and highly esteemed magazine . ' General Literature and the Fine Arts; embein.-,. with gorgeous and costly engravings on steel, an. the Quarterly fashions ; and also with Fashioim ble and popular Music, arranged for the Piano Forte, and Guitar. Since the publication of the mimber-for May, tho demand fur the Ladies' Companion has bet-n unprecedented and beyond the most, sanguim anticipations. At the commencement of the vol ume an-additional number of copies wore printed, which was considered at the time adequate to sa tisfy all the orders which might be received, am leave a considerable number on hand for subse quent calls. The publisher is more than gratified m 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; andconsequently, he was compelled to reprint a second edition of two thousand copies, making the circulation of the Ladies' Companion eight thousand five hundred, at the termination of the tenth volume. Jn consequence of this great and unparalleled 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 as 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 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 one 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 arc 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 heretofore. Articles from the pens of the mot-i distinguished writers, will appear in the forthcom ing numbers, among which may be enumerated the following: Mrs. Holland, Emma C. Embury, Lydia H. Sigourney, Frances S Osgood, Ellet, Caroline Orne, Seba Smith, Ann !S. Stevens, Miss Hannah F. Gould, Mary Ann Browne, Char lotte Cushman, Mary Emily Jackson, Henry Herbert, author of 'Cromwell,' &c.

The Musical Departrnent 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 whose su pervision it is placed, to make that portion of the magazine deserving of the countenance of evesry 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 expendi tures will be liberally bestowed, 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 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 Ladies' Companion has obtained. For five years he has steadily pursued a course of improvement, and he flatters himself that his pre sent facilities arc 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 the Atlantic, have strongly asserted the undeniable claims of the Ladies' Companion to the support of the public generally. There is no work that gin its readers such a great return for their money. Terms Three Dollars a year in advance, or Ir Dollars during the year.
