HULL'S RECENTLY IMPRO ED TRUSS.—The distinguished sur geons and medical faculty of the cities gen erally, and elsewhere, have come to the conclusion that this Truss, in its present improved state, is the only instrument sur gically adapted to the disease of Rupture, and the only one that patients can rely upon for the sale retention of the bowel* and the final cure of the disease.

Also, the following extract ofa late certi ficate of Dr. Mott, of N. York: "For the last twelve months, the curative powers of Dr. Hull's Truss have been tested under my own observation with the most gratifying success in cases of great difficul ' ty, in which the mutilated imitation Trusses so common in our market, had only aggra vated the disease. Dr. Hull' is an experien ced surgeon, who has displayed not a little surgical skill and mechanical ingenuity in bringing this unrivalled instrument to its present state of perfection, rendering it, I know, thebest I ever saw for securing, com forting and curing the ruptured patient, and is in my opinion, the only instrument of the kind that is entitled to patronage of the pro fession, and the• confidence of the public.

An obstinate, violent, and convulsive cough is the inevitable fore runner, when neglected, of the PULMO NARY CONSUMPTION, and its atten dant train of horrors; increased heat and pulse; nausea; oppression of the breast; greenish and bloody spittle; loss of appetite and increase of thrist; ulcerated lungs; clam my sweats and hectic fever; general emacia tion of the body; shrivelled extremitiee; ex cessive and weakening discharges; sinking of the eyes; prostration of strength; burning palms and flushed cheeks; swollen feet and legs; and, at length, while the wretched suf ferer is smiguine of life, cold extremities and an agonizing death. These evils may be nipped in the bud by the timely administra tion of that lung tried and invaluable Medi Rinres ASTHMATIC PILLS, which has been known to cure persons sup posed to be fitr gene in a Consumption, and exhibiting all the appearance of approaching dissolution. The Pills also constitute nn excellent PEC TORAL Al EDICINE. Those therefore who are troubled with the common coughs oc casioned by acrid humours, ticking in the throat, or defluxious upon the lungs, depri ving the patient of refreshing sleep, and gradually introducing the train ofPulinona ry affections, will receive from the use of the Pills, certain, and frequently the most sud den and cheering relief. They appease the cough ; promote easy expectoration, relieve and often cure protracted, obstinate and most distressing cases. Common Colds are gen erally removed by the Pills in n few hours. These Pills also afford immediate relief in- the harrassing and suffocating complaint of the ASTHMA. In attacks of this disease characterized by difficulty of breathing; tightness and stricture across the breast and in the lungs; oppressive flatulence; wheezing; coughing and hoarseness; costiveness and other Asthmatic symptoms, the timely ad ministration of Dr. Relfe's Pills, invariably mitigates the attack, often ensures perma nent relief, and sometimes effects a radical trn-39 cure. The Pills may be taken with the most perfect safety, as they require, in ordinary cases no confinement, and may be adminis tered with the utmost confidence to all ages and classes of people. These popular Pills have been used by multitudes with unexampled success, in a vast variety of cases, from those of the slightest, to others of the most confirmed character. Their powerful agency has been -.known to revive from the bed of sickness, the palid, dejected and emaciated victim, and , ' send him back again to "the busy hum .of men" an active man of business in the full enjoyment of the blessings of health. , Urfa proof of which, the following, from a:mul titude of testimonials, are respectfully submitted: "I have tried your Dr. Relfe's Asthmatic Pills, in Asthma, difficulty of breathing, and Consump tion, when all other medicine had failed, and have found them most excellent." Another Physician writes: "I have tried your Relfe's Asthmatic Pills with a patient of mine, whose case had resisted every thing; the cough has certainly loft h r." A correspondent writes: "The Asthmatic "AT rive such astonishing relief in cases of common coughs, Sz.c. as no one can believe unless they make the trial." An agent writes: "Your (Dr. Relfe's Asthma :o Pills have performed a miraculous cure in this :own. A man about 50 had been confined some months; his feet and legs badly swollen; a bad cough; respiration difficult, and was given over by his physician and friends, who considered him in a confirmed consumption; after taking three boxes of these Pills all the threatening symptoms are re. moved, and he is fast recovering." A Gentleman of Plymouth, 70 years of age, was cured of an Asthma, by three boxes, after having boon afflicted upwards of thirty years. ,„ A young Lady of Boston, was soverelyttifilicted for three years with a violent cough, difficulty of breathing, spitting of blood, pain in the side, de. prived of sleep, and universally debilitated. In this distressing state, after having tried other medicine in vain, and considered as past relief, on taking only two boxes of these Pills, her cough and the whole of her symptoms left her, sleep was restored, and her health was perfectly established.

These progressive ever- tions are still continued, and the publisher is'induced to expect that the Post for the current year will pre sent still stronger claims for public patronage than it did during the past. Arrangements have been made, by which the services of several able writers have been secured for its columns, and additional expense has been incurred, with the view of placing before the editor every possible facility for preparing an accep table sheet.
