HEALTH.
Many of our readers, no doubt, are pos
sessed with this all important blessing,
which they may long retain, if particular
regard and care be paid to themselves, that
whenever they feel the least indisposed, to
procure a proper medicine in due season.
But, on the contrary, we find thousands who
are laboring under disease, and many, we
fear, will prc.ve serious, if not attended to
early. Would those persons resort to the
medicine that has established itself in thou
sands of cases which is Dr. Harlich's Com
pound Strengthening and German „elperient
Pills, so pre-eminently recommended for di
seases incident to the human race, they would
he replt.ced back again to' life's sweet bles
sing, which is health.
We speak from occular proof, knowing,
in many instances, where cures have been
performed by this medicine, with marked
success in various complaints, such as Dys
pepsia, Liver Complaint, Rheumatism, pain
an the Breast, Side and Back, Costiveness,
Nervous Weakness, Emaciation, General
Debility, &c. &c. This medicine consists
of two distinct kinds, viz: The German
Aperient and the Compound Strengthening
Tonic Pills, the former to remove hilt. and
all excrementitious matter from the body,
thus cleansing and purifying the system, after
which the latter cite used to give strength
and vigor tothe weak and debilitated organs,
restore the lost apetite, and produce tranquil
rest and sweet repose. We highly approve
of the 'Doctor's theory' of treating diseases,
which certainly is safe and a ffectual, and
advise the afflicted to giv , his medicine a
fair trial .—Daily Chronicle.

For Consumption of the
Lungs.
Affections of the Live r,Asthnia, Bronchitis,
Pains or NVeakness oldie Breast or Lungs,
Chronic Coughs, Pleurisy, Hemorrhage
of the Lungs, and all affectious cf the
Pulmonary Organs
Nature's own Prescriplcn.
A compound 11,1samicpreparation of the
Prunus Virginiana of •Wild C perry Bark,'
combined with the Extract of Tar, prepa•
red by a chemical process, approved and
recommended by the nr,st distinguished
physicians, and universally acknowledged
the most valuable medicine ever discovered.
No Quackery I No DeeepPim
In setting forth the virtues of this truly
great medicine, we have no desire to deceive .
those who are aboring under the affliction,
nor do we wish to eulogize it snore than it
deserves. Yet we look around and see the
vast amount of suffering and distress occa
sioned by many of the diseases in which this
medicine has proved so highly successful,
we feet that we cannot urge its claims too
strongly, or say too much in its favor.
Variony remedies it is true have been of
fered and pulled into notice for the cure of
diseases of the Lungs, end some have no
doubt been found very useful. bet all that
have yet been discovered, it is adnutted by
physicians and all others who have witness
ed its effects, that none have proved as suc
cessful as this. Suchy indeed, are the
Surprzsing Virtues
Of this Balsam, that even in the advanced
stages at Conaumntion, :titer all the most
esteemed remedies of physicians have failed
to effect any change, the use of this medi
cine has been productive of the most aston
ishing relief, and actually effected cures
after all hopes of recovery had been dis
paired of.
In the first stage of the disease, termed
Catarrhal Consumption, originating from
neglected COLDS, it has been used with un
deviating success, and hundreds acknowl
edge they owe the restoration of their health
to this invaluable medicine alone, in that
form of consumption so prevalent amongst
delicate young females, commonly termed
debility, or
" Going into a Decline,"
A complaint with which thousands are lin
gering, tt has also proved highly successful,
and not only possesses the power of checking
the progress of this alarming complaint, but
also strengthens and invigorates the system
more effet tually than any medicines we have
ever possessed.
Besides its suprising efficacy in consump
tion, it is equally efficacious in Liver Com
plaint, Asthma, Bronchitis, and all affec
tions of the Lungs, and has cured many of
the m Ist obstinate cases, atter every other
remedy had filed. 117 For particulars see
Dr. Wistor's treaties on consumption, to be
had of the agents.
LIFE REMAINS WE STILL HAVE
SOME HOPE,
A SURPRISING Cunt.: .---Among the many
singular cures which this medicine has ef
fected, there is perhaps none in which its
powers are so fully shown as in the case of
Mrs. Austin.
This lady has been consumptive for seve
ral years, and during the greater part of this
time had rec. lend the best medical attention,
and tried all the most valuable remedies, yet
nothing could be found to arrest its progress.
She became subject to violent fits of cough
ing, expectorated large quantities of matter)
occasionally tinged with blood, and step by
step this feartul disease continued its
course, until all hopes of a recovery was des
paired oE While in this distressing situa
tion, lingering upon the very verge of the
grave, she commenced the use of this Bal
sam, which, to use her own expressien, op
perated ahnost like a charm. In a few days
she expectorated freely, the cough was gra
dually suppressed, and every day appeared
to add fresh vigor to her looks, and now, in
the place of that emaciated form withering
to decay, she is seen mingling its society, in
better health than she has enjoyed for years.
DISINTERESTED TxsTmosty.----Having
witnessed the surprising efficacy of Dr.
Wistar's Balsam of Will C !terry, in the
case of Mrs. Austin, I cheerfully acknowl
edge the above statement to be true and cor

LIVER COMPLAINT.---MIS. Elirl Thomp
son was afflicted with this compla, n ; it for
nearly five years, during which time slie was
under the most skilful physicians—had tried
Mercury, Botanic and Homcepathic reme
dies, and every thing that offered her any
hopes of relief She had dull, wandering
pains in her side, sometimes in the shoulder
and small of the back, a hacking cough, fre
quent pains in the breast, and had been una
ble to sleep on her right side for three years.
By the use of this Balsam she was cured in a
few weeks, and remains w, IL to this day.

Friene Wistar:—lt gives me much plea

improved very much since she has been

Moffat's Life Medicine.
THE PHOENIX BITTERS are so call
ed, because they pussesss the power of re
storing the expiring embers of health,to
glowing vigor throughout the constitution,
as the Phoenix is said to be restored to life
from the ashes of its own dissoluti n. The
Phoenix Bitters are entirely vegetable,com
posed of roots found only in certain parts of
the westeen country, which will infallibly
cure FEVERS AND AC UES of all kinds;
will never fail to eradicate entirely all the
effects of Mercury, infinitely sooner than the
most powerful preparations of Sarsaparill,,
and will immediately cure the determinatko
of BLOOD TO THE HEAD; never fail in
the sickness incident to young females; awl
will be found a certain remedy in all Cases
of nervous debility and weakness of the most
impaired constitutions. As a remedy for
Chronic and Inflamatory Rheumatism, the
efficacy of the Phcenix Bitters will be de
monstrated by the use of a single bottle,
The proprietor rejoices in the opportunity
afforded by the universal diffusion of flit
press, for placing his VEGETABLE LIFE
MEDICINES within the knowledge and
reach ofevery individual in thecommubity.
Unlike the host of pernicious quack, tars,
which boast of vegitable ingredients,
Lite l'ilis are purely and soucLe veozre•
n LE, and contain neither Mercury Antonia.) ,
Arsenic, nor any other mineral,in any lot n
whatever.
The following are among the distressioi,
varietesof human diseases, to which the
vegetable Life Phis are well known to be
infallible:
DYSPEPSIA, by thoroughly cleansin,-
the first and second stomachs, and creati4
flow of pure and healthy bile, instead o the
stale a:id acrid kind,—Flatulency, Palpita
tion of the Heart, Loss of Appetite,Heart
burn and Headache, Restlessness, 11-temp
er, Anxiety, Languor and Melancholy, which
are the general sytnptums of Dyspepsia, Will
vanish, as a natural consequence of its cure.
Costiveness, by cleansing the whole length
of the intestines with a solvent process, no,
without violence. Diarrhaa and cholt
is
by removing t .e t harp acrid fluids b 7 is ht,
these complaints are occasioned. '1 L
Medicines have been known to cure RI, ti
matism permanently in three weeks, an.
Gout in half that time. l)ropsies of al
kinds, by freeing and strengthening the ki ,
neys and bladder. A certain remedy
the worst cases of Gravel. Also Worn.
by dislodging from the turnings ot the b.
els the slimy matters to which these el.,
tures adhere ; As .hma and Consumption,
relieving the vessels oft e lungs from t
mucus; Scurvey, Ulcers, and !Rivet,
Sores, by ;he perfect purity of these L
P Its give to the blood, and all the hum
Scorbutic Eruptions and Bad Clomplexi.,.
by their alterative effect upon the flu,
that feed the skin. The use of these Pii
for a very short time, will effect an entire
cure of Salt Rheum, Erysipelas, and ..
striking improvement in the clearness •
the Sam. Common Colds and Influens ,
will always be cured by one dose, or
two, even in the worst cases. Piles,—;;.
a remedy for this most distressing and b
stinate malady, the Vegetable Life Pills do
serve a distinct and emphatic recommend,—
Um. It is well known to hundreds in this
city, that the originator of t. ese invaluable
Pills was himself afflicted with this com
plaint for up gavels of thirty-five years, and
that he tried in vain every reinedy Pte.
scribed within the compass of the Materi,
Medics. He however, at length, tried th,
medicine which he now offers to the public
and lie was cured in a very short time,
Allthat Mr. Moffat requires of his pa
tients is to be particular in taking the Life
Medicines strictly according to the directi
ADVICE To F EMALEemales who
value good health should ever be without
the Lite Medicines, as they purity the
',load, remove obstructions, and give the
:kin a beautiful, clear, hetilthy , and bloom
ing appearance
