PERSEVERE.
The want of the exercise of this acuity
has been the cause of the downfall ofnva
nj an honest good hearted person. It i
often the case that an enterprise, under
taken with every prospect of success, fails
of bringing forth the well grounded anti
cipations of prosperity, and all the hopes of
realizing a competence, and indeed inde
pendence, are blasted, sometimes by un
forseen events which could not be avoided
and sometimes by the frauds, villainies, or
reckless extravagance and profligacy of
persons with whom you are connected,
who eatup your substance and involve you
?n nihilities unbeknown to you, and from
which you cannot afterward escape, and
thus you become a prey to narpies m me
worst kind. Such things are a trial to
your patience and forbearance, and ar.e
almost too much for corrupt human na
ture to bear. An honest confidence in
men of supposed and generally reputed
integrity, brings you into difficulties and
trouble whereby your substance is wasted,
and you find yourself reduced to want by
unprincipled persons who are reckless of
consequences, and are indifferent to the
disastrous results to their best friends
friends who have sacrificed all to sustain
them, till at last the fatal reality bursts
uponyou, and you find you have been
dealing with knaves and villainswhohave
eaten up your substance and squandered
nour all.
kt requires no little degree of philosophy
to bear up under such misfortiines. It
requires a mental energy which is not
possessed by all, or even a considerable
portion of the people who are thus entrap
ped unwarily into fangs which destroy
their future earthly prospects. Many a
one is thus ruined, cast down, and des
ponds. But persevere is the only course
to pursue, lie nbt discouraged ; be not
dismayed. The evil has fallen upon you,
and you must bear up under it as firmly
as possible. Every man who has merit,
and honesty, and industry, will find friends
who will assist and encourage him if he
deserves encouragement. Persevere even
unto the end. Attempt- maj be made to
retrieve losses. They prove unsuccessfuj,
but persevere. 41 Better luck next time,1'
says Jacob Faithful. Neverde?pair. The
darkest hour is just before the dawn of
day. If you have fallen among thieves,
be thankful that they have, spared your
life. Persevere, and honesty will reap its
just reward. If you give way to despon
dency add despair, you are not acting your
part well. Persevere to the best of your
ability, and you will ultimately "succeed.
It is not to be expected that every thing
will at all times go on smoothly and pros
perously. There is no rose without its
thorn. If we experience the bitter, -we
must hope for. a share of the sweet also.
' Though dark and dreary lowers the night
Ca'.mand serene may'be the morrow ;
The cup ojf'-pleasure ne'er shone bright,
Without some mingling, drops of 'sorrow."
TEMPERANCE?
The temperance reformation seems to
have assumed a new phase. That class
which has hitherto been considered as
hopelessly degraded arid beyond the reach
of reformatory measures is rtow takingrfbe
lead in this great vorjf. tThe-forrhed
Dunkard's SocietyiiV'New Yorllready
numbers several Hundreds. Their meet
ings are said to be thnJhngly interesting.
No man can speak to ttie heart as he who
has felt the keen-igony . which the indul
gence ot the most terrible appetite has pro
duced. The most affecting temperance
lecture wc ever read with the "Confes
sions of a Drunkard," is by Charles Lamb.
With what intense feeling does he spealr
in the following paragraphs :
" The waters have gone over me. But
out of the black depths could I be beard,
1 would cry out to all those who have but
set a foot in the' perilous flood. Could
the youth to whom the flavor of his first
wine is delicious as the opening scenes of
life, or the entrance upon some newly dis
covered paradise, look into my desolation
nnd be made to understand what a dreary
thing it is when a man shall feel himself
going down a precipice with open eyes,
and a passive will to see his destruction
and have no power to stop it, and yet to
feel it all the way emanating irom himself;
to perceive all good sense emptied out of
him, and .yet not to be able to forget a
time when it was otherwise; to hear about
the piteous spectacle of hi- own selfmin?;
could hesee my fevered eye, feverish with
Irfst night's drinking and feverishly look
ing frr this night's repetiliou of the folly;
could feel the body of the death out of
which I crv hourly with feebler outcry
to be delivered, it were enough to make
him dash the sparkling beverage to the
earth in all the'pride of iU mantling temp
tation ; to make him clap his teeth
" And nnt undo 'em
To suffer wet damnation to run through 'em."
" Oh if a wish could transport me back
to those days .of youth, when a draught
from the ne'jft clear spring could slake any
hpats which summer sung, and youthful
ixercisehad power to stir up in the blood,
how gladly vveuid ptu.r,u lo vlhc pjjrp el-
ement, (he drink of children and of child
like holy hermit. In my dreams r could
sometimes fancy thy cool refreshments
purling over my burning tongue. But
mv waking stomach rejects, it. That
which refreshes innocence only make me
sick and faint.", '

A ffATDBAL REMEDY,
Suited" to our Constitutions, and competent to the
cure of every curable disease will be found in the
INDIAN VEGETABLE PILL$,
OF THE
IVortli American College of Health.
THESE extraordinary Pills are composed of
plants which grow spontaneously on our own soil;
and are therefore, better adapted id 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
truth
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 bbdy
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 7n the xcorld for carrying out this
GRAND PURIFYING PRINCIPLE,
because they expel from the body nil 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
t i..
j UUUJ .
The above named Indian Vegetable Pills, have
been three years befoie 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
i satisfaction, or obtained such a permanent hold
! upon the affections of the people. Not only do all
f -who use it invariably experience relief, and re-
co'mmend it in the strongest terms: but it has ef
j 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,
together with a few extracts from letters of Agents,
merely to show, that the fame of the Indian Vege
table Pills, is nbt confined to any one section, but
is rapidly extending itself to every part of tho Union.
From the Philadelphia Saturday Evening Post.
TIIE INDIAN VEGETABLE PILLS.
Wright's Indian Vegetable Pills are attaining
great celebrity in New England as well as other
parts of the United Stales. 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, arid
shows an array Of cures by tho medicine which
warrant confidence in the viriues of his Indian
Vegetable Pills.
From the Philadelphia Spirit of the Times.
TIIE INDIAN VEGETABLE PILLS'.
People are pretty well satisfied by this time,
thai Calomel, and the other thousand and one min
eral preparations of the shops, are better adapted,
as a general ruld, to kill rather than euro the pa
tient; as a matter of course, vegetable medicine's
are therefore in great request. There are very
many humbugs, however, among tho 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 169 Race
strce't, Phladelphia ; as they arc tho preparation of
one intimately acquainted with the, healing art.

INDIAN VEGETABLE PILLS.
Of all the public advertised medicines of. th6
day, we know of none that we can more safely re
commend for the "ills that flesh is- heir to" than
the Pills that arc sold at the depot of the North
American College of Health, No. 198 Tremont
street, Boston. Several instances we know of
where they are U3ed in families with the highest
satisfaction; and no longer ago than yesterday we
heard an eminent Physician of the city recommend
them in high terms. There used to bo in tho
community, a great repugnance to the use o(
QIJAGK medicines, as they are all indiscriminate
ly termed, but it was mainly owing tiuhc-.ragular
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 Potor Chnst, Uniontovvn;
Ciirrol County, Md., Nov. 17tb, 1838.
Dear Sir: About two months ago, I had busi
ness in' Baltimore, and called at your ofiice, and
bought a few boxes of the Indian Vegetable Pills;
and upon trying them I found them' to be far supe
rior to Pills', or any other medicine I had
ever used. I had been subject to a cough for live
years past, arid during the time have taken a vari
ety of medicines without any relief, until I got the
Indian Vegetable Pills, and ty faking four doses,
the cough began to leave me; and I now enjoy bet
ter health than I have done for years past After
I found them to be a valuable mediciiid, I imme
diately sent to Baltimore for a large supply., . I
have received so much benefit in using the IN
DIAN VEGETABLE PILLS that I cannot
help but recommend them to every invalid I se e
and think so well of the medicine that I have son
two dozen boxes to mv invalid friends, in tha
State of Indiana. Signed,
"PETER CHRIST
From G. C. Black, New York.
Mr. WTm. Wright TiCar Sir you will please to
forward as soon as possible, .some of your Indian
Vegetable Pills; as we are almost out of the arti
cle, and they appear to be getting into general use
here. We have a great call lor the medicine at
present, and those mat have used them, speak very
high of them. One gentleman attributes his being1
cubed of Dropsy to the use of them; and another
has been curtED of Dyspepsia, solely by the use of
your Indian Vegetable Pills, and is willing you
should publish his case if you think proper.

Extract of a letter from JIr. A. Larrimore, Indiana
Doctor Wright Dear Sir Having some 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 my family,
1 take this method to open a correspondence with
you. The pills alluded to are welL thought of here
and very much wanted. I wish to make arrange
ments with you for a constant supply, as I think
a very great quantity could be sold in this section
of the country.
Extract of a letter from Samuel Griffith, Stewart
town, York County, Pa.
Mr. W. Wright Dear Sir I am polling theTn
dian Vegetable Pills by the dollars worth, and at
that rate the stock Of Pills, left by your travelling
agent, will soon be out;
I am pleased to find they are such ready sale.
Those who have Used them, speak in the highest
terms of them. Many have already found great
relief from their use; and when the cures are filial
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 city.

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 wo
hadHaken a half dozen gross; for on a fair trial
they have far exceeded our most sanguine expecta
tions. In fact so much so that we have been oblig
ed to send to Mr. Zimmerman, at Lancaster, more
than a hundred miles from here, for ten dozen; but
these will last but a very short tims, the way we
are selling them since they have been fairly tested.
In the first place, I gavo some to our Physicians,
to make trial of since which they have purchased
a number of boxes, and highly approve of them. A
few daya ago, there was a lady sent 30 miles to get
a box of thd Pills, she at the time was very low,
and unable to turn herself in bed; but in two days,
my'informant says she was abld to help herself.
We could mention many other cases, but deem '
it unnecessary at this time; but would merely say;
that as the season is fast approaching when thero
will be a great demand for the Indian Vegetable
Pills; and if we only could get a supply of the med-
icinej we could establish other agents, which would
be of immense advantage not 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, .
