Introduced into the United Slates, Mail IS, 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 five years since I
opened the first office for the exclusive sale of this
medicine in New ork; yet, in that time I have
sold over twelve miltiotis 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 forty thousand dollars per year
And with the expenses of advertising, and other
incidentals, the sum was a little over One Hun

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, mcasels, 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 body, it must
come out before health is enjoyed, and sooner or
later it will break out of itself, worse than ever, if
this method of purifying the body is delayed too
Ions. No dancer can arise from purging" with
Brandrelh's Pills- It has been proved, beyond
doubt, that these celebrated Pills and the human
body are naturally adopted one for theother. By the
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 shnple as to give every day ease and pleas
ure. Brandrelh'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
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
jnors generated in the body, 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 has es
tablished, is fully able to produce this result, with
out the possibility of any injurious effects. They
who have adopted this simple plan have secured
the best state of health their bodes were capable
of enjoying. The Aveak 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, ?icvcr be
bled, and never go to a Dmggist for Brandretlfs
Pills. The first weakens the principle of h fe, and
lon keeps tlie blessings of health from the body.
Ana the last, to purchase a Pill called Brandreths
of a Druggist, is to insure the purchaser abase
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 agency, which is re-;
newed yearly. There is an agent with one of
laving put himself to any more inconvenience in
taking the medicine than he would have done in
swallowing so many black currants.
iShpuld ladies take Dr. Peters' Pills ! Doubt-
lely 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

casual scurvy, Irom the flesh, animates the eye,
and gives an elasticity and a vigor to the limbs.

Since the publication of the number for Mav,
the demand for the Ladies' Companion has Ihi.l
unprecedented and beyond the most sanguh.e
anticipations. At the commencement of the u i
ume an additional number of copies were print -d,
which was considered at the time adequate to sa
tisfy all the orders which might be received, an',
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, live hundred copies, was completely exhaus
ted before the issuing of the third number of tne
volume; and, consequently, he was compelled u
reprint a second edition of two thousand copies,
making the circulation of the Ladies' Companion
eight thousand five hundred, at the termination )f

The -proprietor feels grateful for that en
couragement which has been so lavishly bestowed
upon his magazine, and at tlie same time he beijs
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 oniy
three dollars a year, while the great combination
of talent secured for the coining 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 are selected with a view of in
teresting the gener.il reader,j 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 firstwom
out in annuals. In addition to the engravings
mentioned, a correct plate of the Quarterly Fasii
ions for Ladies, will appear in the June, Septem

of the usual embellishment. It is the determina
