CURING PRACTICE.
The principle of purifying the body by purg
ing with vegetable physic is becoming more and
nore understood as the only sensible method by
r.hich 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 BrandretWs 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 aim-bilious and aperient medicine
ure unrivalled; all who use them recommend
:hem, their virtues surpass all eulogy, and must
be used to be appreciated. The weak and del
jcate will be strengthened by their use, not by
ur cing but by removing the cause of weakness,
'ho gross and corrupt humors of 'the body.
They require no change in diet or osre of any
kind. Plain directions accompaay -each hnx,
o that every one is his own competdnt physi
cian. Remember, none are genuine sold by
druggists. , 1

THE CONSTITUTION.
What is that we call the Constitution ? Tho
constitution is evidently that which constitutes,
and mat v. aich constitutes is the blood, We, there
fore, K..ov that the blood is the constitution, and
that a good or bad constitution is neither more nor
less 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 then the proper means. Ex
pel with Purgative Medicine all currnpt humors
from the body, and the blessing, Health, will bo
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 tho
human frame is subject, because they clog up the
veins and arteries, and prevent the free circulation
of the blood.
Brandrcttfs Vegetable Universal Pills euro this
disease: because they remove the corrupt or vi
tiated humors by the stomach and bowels, leaving
the good humors to give life and health to tho bo
dy. It is morally impossible that they can fail to
cure, provided Mature is not entirely exhausted.

TO AVOID DISEASE AND ATTAIN
HEALTH IS NOW IN THE POWER
OF EVERY ONE. DR. BENJA
MIN BRANDRETIPS YeffC
tablu I'mversal Fills.
Introduced into the United States. May 19, 1835
There has never been an instance of these cele
brated Vegetable Universal Pills not giving relief1
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 thi3
medicine in New York; yet, in that time I have
sold over twelve millions of boxes, and have now
eighteen offices for their exclusive sale, at least
orTe in every principal city in the Union, at an ex
pense of near forty thousand dollars per year
l nd with ihe expenses of advertising, and other
j incidentals, the sum was a little over One Hun
1 dred aud Thirty Thousand Dollars for the year
1839;
omc idea may be formed how the medicine
is anftreciated from these facta: thev are indeed
wi.h according to the printed direction which ac-
companies each box, the cure will be effected much
having beer, properly purged in fevers, inflamations,
cMd. measels, small pox or lying in. It is utterly
impossible for us to attain or keep health without
sound forging. We may fasten up tho 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
j this method of purifying the body is delayed too
Ion?. No 'lai.ir can arise from purging with
Braridretlfs Pills.
It has been proved, beyond
doubt, that these celebrated Pills and tho human
body are naturally adopted one for thejother. By the
use ofttiis Glorious Meiicine 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. Brandretrfs Pills are no less a cure than a pre
ventive of diseases. When wc feel dull, pain in
the head, baclc, 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 ol 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
I experience or from books has confirmed mo in the
ouinion. thatuain. everv feelino contrary tn health.
js 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 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 havo securod
the best state of health their bodes were capablo
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 bo iilv, though not profession
ally. Let me now recommend two things, never be
bled, and never go to a Druggist for Hrandreth's
Pills. 1 he first weakens the principle of life, and
long keeps the blessiugs of health from the body.
And the last, to purchase a Pill called Brandrcths
of a Druggist, is to insure the purchaser a base
counterfeit, entirely incapable of producing tho
beneficial results of the genuine medicine. To in
sure this it must be purchased of the undermen

Uoct. Joseph Priestly Peters'
Celebrated Vegetable Antibilous Pills
are daily effecting some of the most astonishing
and wonderful cures that have ever been hwicn,
the town and country are filled with, their praise,
the Palace and roor-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
otner structure, wm lau into contusion ana rum,
it neglected : but, by the aid of medicine mdi
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 euro 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,
costiveness, megrin, biles, scurvy, spleen, pimples,
furred tongue, or offensive breath, are the inevita
ble consequences ; for exuberance 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 tho very
name of medicine! And no wonder, for nineteen-
twentieths of all the medicines in the 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
worsa 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 ? Doubt
lessly they sliould, 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 tho 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, wnemer ot 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 lour 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 ? 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. Tho 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 REGULAR FACULTY.
Tho 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
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. I learn that 3'ou are making a fortune by tho sale
of your pills, which I trust is tho case as I am ful
ly aware that through them you are conferring a
I great blessing on the public.

iarly benefited by their use. Since my arrival
hero 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.

Dear Sir. I embrace this opportunity of ex
pressing to you my pleasure at the unrivalled suc
cess of youx pills in this section of the country.
It is the general fault cf 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 praiso 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, 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 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,

They are a safe and mild aperient, being the

Stagnation or the Blood.
The repeated changes in the atmosphere, by act
insr
as they do upon the consistence and quality of
me 0100a, give occasion tor tne most tatai and ma
lignant disorders. The blood from a state of health
becomes stagnant and is plunged into a state of
corruption.
1 hus 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 relieved of its accumulated im
purity. BrandretKs 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.

LADIES' COMPANION.
New Volume commenced with the N v. Number.
A Circulation o 2G.OCO.
THE Ladies'
Companion, established in Ma v.
1S34 a popular and highly esteemed magazine ut
General Literature and the Fine Arts: embehUl.
if
with gorgeous and costly engravinas on steel, and.
the Quarterly fashions ; and also with Fashiuna-'
I ble and popular Music, arranged for the Piano-
Forte, and Uuitar.
Since the publication of the number for May
the demand for the Ladies' Companion has been
unprecedented and beyond the most sanguine
anticipations. At the commencement of tjie 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, live 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 great
and unparalleled increase of new subscribers, he
has determined to commence the new volume for
the ensuing year with thirteen thousand : hopin
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 hestowed
upon his magazine, and at the same time he bes
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 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 firstwoni
out in annuals. In addition to the engravings
mentioned, a correct plate of the Quarterly Fash
ions for Ladiest 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 pias.
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
