Harrison's Specific Oisitmenf .
The great celebrity of this unrivalled Composi
ion especially in the Northern iatcs leaves
thc proprietor but little need to say any thing in
its favor; for it has been generally conceded to it,
that it is beyond all comparison the best remedy
for external complaints that has ever been discov
eied. 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 arc 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
" pccific 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, ho was governed more by their
brevity, than their contents, as they all breath the
same spirit of eulogy and satisfaction.

White Swellings, Scrofula, Rheumatic Pains,
Chapped Face, Lips and Hands ; and for general
and external complaints. 1 write this at the re

" 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 j
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 family, as there is no telling when such acci
dents may occur. Yours respectfully,
H. M. SHEPHARD.

Stagnation oi'tke Hlood.
The repeated changes in the atmosphere, by act
ing as they do upon the consistence and quality of
me blood, give occasion lor the most iatal and 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.
Jt 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. BrandreilCs 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 iveakness, and preserve the consti
tution in a state of health and viGuuthat causual
changes cannot effect.

TO AVOID DISEASE AND ATTAIN
HEALTH IS NOW IN THE POWER
OF EVERY ONE. DR. DEN J A
M1N BRAND RE TITS 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 five 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 miltions 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 boxjihe 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 f overs, injlamations,
cold, meascls, small pox or lying in. It is utterly
impossible for lis 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
loner. 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 natural ly 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 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 Brandreth's
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
torney, regularly proved to be my act before the
Clerk of the county of New York.
The following is a list of names of all the

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.
Brandreth'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 life and health to the bo
dy. It is morally impossible that they can fail to
cure, provided Nature is not entirely exhausted.

Celebrated Vegetable Antibilous Pills,
are daily effecting some of the most astonishing
and wonderful cures that have ever been known,
the town mid country arc 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 Jail into contusion and rum,
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-
twentioths 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
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 arc
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 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 ah 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 u 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 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 advantago 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,
feefing, 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 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 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 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 tho public.
I myself am among those who have bpen 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 1 acknowledge it with gratitude,) a few box
es of your pills have completely restored me. I
would add that their effect upon Sick lleadacho
and sour stomach is almost miraculous.

Dear Sir. I embrace this opportunity of ox
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
j 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
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 in all these complaints
1 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 ol
those injurious consequences wntcn so lrequently
attend the application of calomel, or blue pill. On
the whole I consider your Vegetable Pills an in
valuable discovery. Very respectfully,

Dear Sir I have made frequent use of your
pills in the incipient stage of Bilious Fever, and

in all cases have found them to be very effective.

covery. I have no hesitation in having it known
that I use them extensively in my practice, for all

their source in the impurity of the blood."

CURING- PRACTICE.
The principle of purifying the body by purg
ing with vegetable physic is becoming more and
more understood as the only sensible method by
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
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 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 Pills as ahti-bilious and aperient medicine
are unrivalled; all who use them recommend
them, their virtues surpass all eulogy, and must
bo used to be appreciated. The weak and del
icate will bo strengthened by their use, not by
bracing but by removingthe cause of weakness,
the gross and corrupt humors of tho body.
They require no change in diet or care of any
kind. Plai.t directions accompany each box,
so that every one is his own competent physi
cian. Remember, none arc genuine sold" by '
druggists.

ble and popular Music, arranged for the Puiio
Furte, and Guitar.
Since the publication pf the number for May,
the demand for the Ladies' Companion lias been
unprecedented and beyond the most sanguuiu
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 for subse
quent calls. The publisher is more than gratified
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 nuiiiLer of the
volume; and, consequently, he was compelled to
reprint a second edition of two thou'sand copies,
making the circulation of the Ladies' Compumon
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 : hoj.'iii"
that he will thus be enabled to supply all the d
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 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 merjt its continuance.
The work appears in beautiful new type, printed
on the finest paper: smoothly pressed,, and neatlv
stitched in a handsome cover.
The Ladies' Companion contains, a larger quan
tity of reading than any other maga'ine 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 arc 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 pictorai 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

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 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 Fh.c
Arts : and no exertions or expense will be deemed
too great to render the work equal to any other
extant. The flattering and general testimonial
of nearly every contemporary journal in the Unit' -;
States, and in fact, many on the other side of: u
Atlantic, have strongly asserted the undcni.il v
claims of the Ladies' Companion to the support
the public generally. There is no work that pi
its readers such a great return for their inoncj.
