Strotid tsp. September 1, 1841. te. Suited to our Constitutions, and competent to the cure of evert curable disease will be found in th INDIAN VEGETABLE PILLS, OF THE Itforila American College of Health THESE extraordinary Pills are composed o plants which grow spontaneously on our own soi and are therefore, better adapted to our constitu tions, than medicine concocted from foreign drugs however well they may be compounded; and as THE INDIAN VEGETABLE PILLS are found ed upon the principle that the human body is in trutli SUBJECT TO BUT ONE DISEASE, viz: corrupt humors, and that said medicine cures this disease on NATURAL PRINCIPLES by cleansing and purifying the body; it will be man ifest, that if the constitution be not entirely ex hausted a perseverance in their use, according to directions, is absolutely certain to drive disease of every name from the body. When we wish to restore a Swamp or Morass to fertility, we drain it of the superabundant wa ters; in like manner if we wish to restore the body to health, we must cleanse it of impurity. THE INDIAN VEGETABLE PILLS Will be found one of the best, if not the very best medicine in the world fdr carrying out this GRAND PURIFYING PRINCIPLE, because they expel from the body all morbid and corrupt humors, the cause of disease in an easy and NATURAL MANNER; and while they every day GIVE EASE AND PLEASURE, disease of every name is rapidly driven from the body. The above named Indian Vegetable Pills, have been three years before the American public; and we can now say withont fear of contradiction, that of all the various medicines which have heretofore been popular, not one has given such universal satisfaction, or obtained such a permanent hold upon the affections of the people. Not only do al who use it invariably experience relief, and re commend it in the strongest terms: but it has ef fected some of the most astonishing cures ever performed by medicine, Hitherto, very few of the.numerous testimonials which have been received in favor of this extraor dinary medicine have been published, as the med icine obtained its present great celebrity more by its own intrinsic goodness than from extensive ad vertising. It has been deemed proper however to offer the following opinions of the public press. w 4.X together with a few extracts from letters of Agents, merely to show, that the fame of the Indian Vege table Pills, is not confined to any one section, but is rapidly extending itself to every part of the Union. From the Philadelphia Saturday Evening Post. THE INDIAN VEGETABLE PILLS. Wright's Indian Vegetable Pills are attaining great celebrity in New England as well as other parts of the United States. The attempt of per sons to defraud the public by the sale of' spurious articles, meets with general reprobation. Mr. Wright is an indefatigable business man, and shows an array of cures by the medicine which warrant confidence in the virtues of his Indian Vegetable Pills. From the Philadelphia Spirit of the Tithes. THE INDIAN VEGETABLE PILLS. People are pretty well satisfied by this time, that Calomel, and the other thousand and one min eral preparations of the shops, are better adapted, as a general rule, to kill rather than cure the pa tient; as a matter of course, vegetable medicines are therefore in great request. There are very many humbugs, however, among the latter, and we would advise all those who have the least re gard for their health, to try the INDIAN VEGE TABLE PILLS OF THE NORTH AMERICAN COLLEGE OF HEALTH, sold at 1G9 Race Street, Phladelphia ; as they are the preparation of one intimately acquainted with the healing art. From the Boston Daily Times. INDIAN VEGETABLE PILLS. Of all the public advertised medicines of the day, we know of none that we can more safely re commend for the "ills that flesh is heir to'1 than the Pills that are sold at the depot of the North American College of Health, No. 198 Tiemont street, Boston. Several instances wc know of where they are used in families with the highest satisfaction; and no longer ago than yesterday, we heatd an eminent Physician of the city recommend them in high terms. There used to be in the community, a great, repugnance to the use of QUACK medicines, as they are all indiscriminate ly tormed, but it was mainly owing to the regular M. D.'s constantly denouncing them. They are however, becoming more liberal in this respect, and the consequence is that good vegetable medicines are now more extensively used. than formerly. Extract of a letter from Peter Christ, IJniontmf nj. Carrol County, Md., Nov. 17th, 1838. Dear Sir: About two months ago, T had. busi ness in Baltimore, and called, at your office, and bought a few boxes of the Indian Vegetable Pills; and upon tryitig them I found them to bo far su per nor to Pills, or any other medicine I had ever used.

I have received so much benefit in using the IN DIAN VEGETABLE PILLS that I caririofc help but recommend them to every invalid I seeV and thirlk so well of the medicine that I have sent two dozen bpxes to my .invalid friends, in, the State of Indiana. Sighed; , PTER CHRIST. From'G. C. Black, New York. Mr. Wm. Wright Tear Sir you will please "fo forward as soon as possible; some of your Indian Vegetable Pills; as we are alriiost out of the arti cle, and they appear to be getting into general use here. We have a great call for the medicine at present, and those tliat have usfed them, speak very high of them. One gentleman attributes his Being' cured of Dropsy to the Use of them; arid another has been cured of Dyspepsia, solely by the use of your Indian Vegetable Pills, and is willing you should publish his case if yoii think proper. Gv C. BLACK, No. 1 Chatham Square, New York. Extract of a letter from Mr. A. Larrimore, Indiana. Doctor Wright Dear Sir Havingsome knowl edge of your most excellent compound INDIAN VEGETABLE PILLS- and not knowing how to get a fresh supply, my stock being nearly exhaust ed, and wishing to always have them in iriy family, I take this method to open a Correspondence with you. The pills alluded to are well thought of hero and very much wanted. I wish to make arrange ments with you for a constant supply, as I thinfe a very great quantity could be sold in this section of the country. Extract of a. letter from Samuel Griffith, Stewarts town, York County, Pa. Mr. W. Wright Dear Sir Iain selling the -Indian Vegetable Pills by the dollar's wdrtlj, and at that rate the stock of Pills, left by your travelling agent, will soon be out. I am pleased to find thdy are such ready sale. Those who have usdd them, speak in the highest terms of them. Many have already found great relief from their use, and when the cures are final - ly effected, I shall do you the justice to inform you of the same. Extract of a letter from Washington City. -Mr. Wm. Wright Dear Sir You will have the kindness to forward me as soon as possible, too or three gross of the Indian Vegetable Pills. The sales have, for the last two months, increased rap idly; those who buy, generally remarking, "that they are the best pills they have ever used;" and my opinion is that they will in a short time super cede all others in this citv. ROBERT FARNHAM. Washington City, D. C. Extract of a letter from Lycoming County, Pa. Mr. Wm Wright Dear Sir On being appoint ed Agents for the sale of the INDIAN VEGE TABLE PILLS in this place, we only took one gross on trial; but it would have been better if w& md taken a half dozen gross; for on a fair trial they have far exceeded our most sanguine expecta lions. In fact so much so that we have been oblin-- ed to send to Mr. Zimmerman, at Lancaster, more-, than a hundred miles froni here, for ten dozen- bus these will last but a very short time, the way wa are selling them since they have been fairly tested n the first place, I gave some to our Physicians to make trial of since, which they have purchased a number of boxes, and highly approvoof them. A ew days ago, therd was a lady sent 30 miles, to get a box of the Pills, she at the time was very low and unable to turn herself in bed; but in two days, my informant says she was able to help herself. We could mention many other cases, but deem it unnecessary at this time; but would merely say; ;iat as the season is fast approaching when thero will be a great demand for the Lxdian Vegetable ills; and if we only could get a supply of the med icine, we could establish other agents, which would be of immense advantage net only to the NORTH AMERICAN COLLEGE OF HEALTH; but to the public generally. Please let us know your views on the subject, and any directions relative to the same, will be promptly attended to by Very respectfully, your friends, &.
