Easton, July 29, 1847.--m Principal DR.LEROYS VEGETABLE UMVEUS.AL, PILS., The only known medicine that at the same time pur ges, purifies, and strengthens the system. DR. LE ROf'S Pilis are a new medicine which has just appeared, and is fast taking the places of all others of the same class. These pills are composed of many .ingredients, but the two principal ones are Sarsaparilla and Wild Cher ry, so united that they act together tlie one, through its admixture with other substances, purifying and purging, while the othor is strengthening "the sys tern. Thus those pills are at.Uie same time tonic and opening; a desideratum Jong,. and eager.ly sought for by medicinal men, but.never before ,djsr. covered. In other words they do.the work, of the two medicines, and (do it much better than any two we know of ; for they remove nothing from the system but the impurities; so that while they purge they strengthen ; and hence they cause no debili tation, arid are followed by no reaction. Dr. Le Roy's Pills have a wonderful irfluence' on ,the blood ; they not only purify without weakening it, but they remove all noxious pstrticles from.the chyle before it is converted into fluid, and thus, makes impure blood an utter impossibility. As there is no debilitation, so there is no. nausea or sickness attending the opperations of this most excellent of medicines, which never strains or tortures the digestive functions, but causes them to work in a perfectly natural manner; and hence persons takincr them do not become pale and emaciated, but the contrary ; for while it is the property of the Sarsaparilla, united as it is with other ingredients, to remove all that is foreign and impure, it is equally the properly of the Wild Cher to retain all that is natural and sound ; and hence a robost state of health is the certain result of their united operations. y.

THE GREAT PREVENTIVE MEDICINE! Though Wright's Indian Vegetable Pills have achieved triumph upon. triumph, in the cure of ob stinate cases of disease, even after they had been entirely given up, and after all other remedies had. failed, yet their power oi prevention may be justly esteemed their . , CROWNING GLORY-! ...... 'Storms,' it is said, 'purify the air,' but storms, do mischief also, and are so far an evil. Were it within human power to maintain the ELECTRICAL EQUILIBRIUM between the earth and air, there would be no occa sion for storms, for the air would always be pure. ,So of the human body. If kept free from mor bid humors, iheaqtiou is regular and healthy. But it those humors are allowed to accumulate, a en sis, or, in other w.ords, a storm, will arise, which is always more or less dangerous.. . . Wright's Indian vegetable pills are equally well calculated, to prevent the storm, or to allay it when it comes., xJut, PREVENTION IS BETTER THAN. CURE, besides beinff cheaper and less, troublesome. The delay of.a day in the commencement of sickness has often proved fatal, and always renders the case more difficult to manage. , c Let the siqkness be caused by ; , CHANGES OF WJ3ATHER, , .o high living, want of exercise, close confinement, functional .derangement, or anything else, the ef fect upon the body is much the, same is ecjhally dangerous, and is. removable bv ihe same means. , tHAX" Y0U A C0LD Let it not ripen into' Consumption Are you Dys peptic ?
