CURING PRACTICE.
The principle of purifying the body by purg
ing with vegetable phisic is becoming more and
more understood as ilie only sensible method by
rv ,... h sound health can be established. Hun
flrMs of individuals have become convinced of
tlr.-N doctrine and are daily acknowledging the
T i vtice to be the best ever discovered. Now
tilt- unhealthy season when our bodies are
. able to be affected with disease; and now is
t . 1 lime the stale of the stomach and bowels
t' i oui.1 be attended to, because on the healthy
: xtc of those organs depends the healthy state
vi. she general system; and every one will see at
i ;:x if the general health be bad while that re
::u.r.s, local disease cannot be cured.
Ill the medicine that is requisite to restore
the body to a state ofhealth 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 the) could do no more. The properties of
these Pills as aiitt-bilious and aperient medicine
arc 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 removingthe 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
druggists.

Harrison's Specific Ointment.
The great celebrity of this unrivalled Composi
t.on especially in the Northern States leaves
the proprietor but little need to say any thing in
its favor; for it has been generally conceded to it,
t lat it is beyond all comparison the best remedy
Kr 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-
gs, biles, piles, spider and snakebites &c.
..nu diately yield to its apparantly super human
' .;1i.ence. Thus if properly applied it will remove
x riveterate, corn or break and heal a bile in five
iv s, will allay and perfectly cure an ulcer in two
v ecivs ; and the most desperate cases of white
t riling that can be imagined, have been destroyed
. v :t in less than two months. In the bites of
Monous reptiles its efficacy is truly surprising;
. r.3 o'en in the bite of a rabid dog, for if applied
,i ru.e, its powers of attraction are so wonderful,
i izi : "y will at once arrest the poison and thus i
, rc .:;t it from pervading the system. It is like- j
wise greatly superior to any medicine Heretofore
t;; nvtred for the chafed backs and limbs of horses
ur tetters, ring worms, chapped lips, and in
sliort for every external bodily evil that may fall
to the lot of man or beast.
Tiie proprietor has received at least a thousand
c:!:fictes and other documents, in favor of his
" s -"njic Ointment" upwards a hundred of which
were written by respectable members of the Med-
.1 r aoulty ; and in selecting from this pile the
' owing samples, he was governed more by their
' revity, than their contents, as they all breath the
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 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 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.
BrandretWs 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 life 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 TIIE POWER
OF EVERY ONE. DR. BEN J A
M1N BRANDRETIPS 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 twelve 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 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 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 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
owing either to mercury or bleeding, or to not
having been properly purged in fevers, infiamations,
cold, meascls, 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
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 thejother. 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 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 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 BrandrellCs
rills. I lie first weakens the principle of life, and
long keeps the blessings of health from the bodv.
And the last, to purchase a Pill called Brandreths
I of a Druggist, is to insure the purchaser a base
counterfeit, entirely incapahle 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
torney, regularly proved to be my act before the
Uienc ot the county of Now York.

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 ivith their praise,
the Palace and Poor-house alike echo toith 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 tiie 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 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 nineteen
twentieths of all the medicines in the work! 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 sickness of any kind; nay, they are
absolutely very pleasant to the taste, and rest as
quietl)' 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 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 better and more to the point
on it, after he lias 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 perspkuity, judgment, and pleasure
and there is nothinpn the worlgl, 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 ofhealth, 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 TIIE REGULAR FACULTY.
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
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.
I 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,
M. SHEPERD, M. D.
Clarkesville, Mecklenberg 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 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 ail 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 Yegetable Pills an in
valuable discovery. Yery respectfully,
S. HARRIS, M. D.
Charlotte, N. C, January 1, 1837
Dear Sir I 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
the Liver, Sick Headache, General Debility, and
in all cases have found them to be very effective.

for the last twelve months, 1 take pleasure in giv

They are a safe and mild aperient, being the
best article of the kind I have ever used.

Extract of a letter by Dr. Joseph Williams, of Bur

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, 183G
" I never knew a single patent medicine that I
could put the slightest confidence in but Dr Peters'
Yegetable pills, which are really a valuable dis
covery. I have no hesitation in having it known
that 1 use them extensively in my practice, for all
complaints, (and they are not a few.) which have
their source in the impurity of the blood."
Extract of a letter from Dr Pye, of Quebec, L. C,
March G, 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.

Stagnation of the !Blood.
The repeated chances in the atmosphere, by act
ing as they do upon the consistence and quality of
the blood, give occasion lor the most fatal and ma
lignant disorders. The blood from a state ofhealth
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 toropdo 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. 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.

with gorgeous and costly engravings on steel, and
the Quarterly fashions ; vand also with Fashiona
ble and popular Music, arranged for the Piano
Forte, and Guitar.
Since the publication of the number for MayT
the demand for the Ladies' Companion has been,
unprecedented and beyond the most 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 lor subse
quent calls. The publisher ?s more than gratified
hi 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 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 iur that en
couragement which has been so lavishly bestowed
upon his magazine, and at the same 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 continuanc e.
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 m
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 first worn
out in annuals. In addition to the engravings
mentiqned,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

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 every
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 are such as to give the work eminent
advantages over ali 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 tho
Atlantic, have strongly asserted the undcnialm
clalms of the Ladies' Companion to the support rf
