CURING PRACTICE
The principle of purifying the body by purg
; with vegetable physic is becoming more and
i ere undorstood as the only sensible method by
r Inch sound health can be established. Hun
r reds of individuals have become convinced of
ihis 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
slate 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 Brandreth'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 rills as ahti-bihous 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 the 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
irttrgtsts.

The great celebrity of this unrivalled Composi

the proprietor but little need to say any thine: in
its favor; for it has been generally conceded to it,

ations have the appearance of miracles: as ulcers,
wounds, corns, fever sores, chilblains, white swel
i.ncs, biles, piles, spider and snake biles &c.
immediately yield to its apparantly super human
ji.fluence. 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
v. eeks ; and the most desperate cases of white
s elling 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 m 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
lc.a Faculty ; and in selecting from this pile the
1 olio wing samples, he was governed more by their
brevity, than their contents, as they all breath th
same spirit of eulogy and satisfaction.

THE CONSTITUTION,
What is that we call the Constitution ? The
constitution is evidently that which constitutes,
and that which constitutes is the blood. We, there
fore, know that the bfood is the constitution, and
that a good or bad constitution is neither more nor
less than a good or badstate of the blood. There is
o person who, having lost health, does not wish to
have it restored. Use then 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 from 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.
Brandrcti's Vegetable Universal Pills cure this
disease : because they remove the corrupt or vi
tiated humors by the stomach and bowels, leaving
the good humors to give me and health to the bo
dy. It is morally impossible that they can fail to
cure, provided Nature is not entirely exhausted

TO AVOID DISEASE AND ATTAIN
HEALTH IS NOW IN THE POWER
OF EVERY ONE. DR. BENJA
MIN BRANDRETHS Vege
table Uisiversal JPiIIs9
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
makinjr 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
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 m New York; yet, m that time I have
sold over twelve millions of boxes, and have now
eighteen offices for their exclusive sale, at least
one in even 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
dred and Thirty Thousand Dollars for the year
1839; some idea may be lormed how the medicine
is appreciated from these facts; they are indeed
the greatesl 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 lelied 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
hr;nrrhaannmnorrnnrn.i;n r,.r .,7--.-;,.....
owm eitner to mercury or bleeding, or to not
coW measeut smell pox or lying in. It is utterly
impossible for us to attain or keep health without
sound purging. We may fasten up the disorder
. S - . - -. .
oy barts and tonics, but if it be m 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
long. 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 thelother. Bythe
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. 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
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 body, as fast as nature re
quires their expulsion. And that to secure health,
we have only to purge ourselves, until liealth 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 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
bled, and never go to a Druggist for BrandretlCs
Pills. The first weakens the principle of life, and
long keeps the blessings of health from the body.
And 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 agency, which is re
newed yearly. There is an agent with one of
these certificates in every town in the United
States. Those purchasing at wholesale, must re
member that all my travellers have a power of At

Do men in robust health require medicine? Cer

is suffered to run riot without correcting laxatives

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 proud and grate
ful in being able to lay such documents before the

New Orleans, April 24, 1837.
Dear Sir As an old classmate of yonrs in Yale
college, I take the liberty of opening a correspon-
oence.
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 mat tnrougrij mem you are conieinng 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.

It is the, general fault of those who vend patent

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 tha,t can compare with them in
popularity. In Dyspepsia, Sick Headache, de
rangement of the Biliary organs, and obstinate
constipation of the bowels, I know of no aperient
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 purcative
for weekly individuals; and that they may be "iv
en at all times 'without apprehension of anv of

General Literature and the Pine Arts; embeiiHh
with gorgeous and costly engravings on ieel,s,i,.
the Quarterly fashions; and also with Pashiona
ble and popular Music, arranged- for the Punt
Forte, and Guitar. ,
Since the publication of the number fur Mav.
the demand for the Ladies Companion hat. tcui
unprecedented and beyond the moat saniruhie
anticipations. At the commencement of the vol
ume an additional number of copies were l.rii.ro.!
which was consideied at the time adequate to ba
tisfy all the orders which might be received, and
leave a considerable number on hand for subse
quent calls. The publisher is more than gr.it; tied
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 Ladies' Companion
eight thousand five hundred, at the termination of
the tenth volume. In consequence of this griMt
and unparalleled increase of new subscribe!.-, h,
has determined to commence the new volume for
the ensuing year with thirteen thousand : hupiu
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 bestow i d
upoahis magazine, and at the same time he be-'s
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

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 onlv maga
zine published, in which new and elegant steel
plates appear regularly. Those accompanying
other monthly periodicals, are generally firstborn
out in annuals. In addition to the engravings
mentioned, a correct plate of the Quarterly Fash
ions for Ladiesf will appear in the June, Septem
ber, December, and March numbers, independent
of tho 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 -r.a
heretofore. Articles from the pens of the moi

The Musical Department of the Ladies' Compa

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. Ic

care to him, and to the Professor under whose su
pervision it is placed, to make that portion of tho
magazine deserving of the countenance of even-
