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.

Dear Sir: About two months ago, T had. busi

years past, and during the time have taken a vari
ety of medicines without any relief, until I got the
Indian Vegetable Pills, and by taking four doses;
thd cough began to leave me; and I now enjoy bet
ter health thari I have done for years past Aftet
I found them to be a valuable medicine, I imrrie
diately sent td Baltimore for a large supply. 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; ,

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.

Mr. W. Wright Dear Sir Iain selling the -Indian

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.

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,
