That the public may rest assured of the salutary effects of these pills, and the truth of the above statements, the following letters from medical gentlemen of the first respect ability are most respectfully submitted: LJUBXgvu.Ut, Mecklenburg co. Va. I February 7, 1838. Dkai Sri: I embrace the opportunity of expressing to you my gratification at the success which has attended the adminiatra- tion of your valnabie pills, in thit section of country.

It it a common fault with those wbo compound and vend patent medicines lo say too much 10 favor of them; but from what I have seen of the effects of you Pilli, I do not think as yet tbey hare received un merited praise. six months ago they were almost entirely unknown in this part of Virginia, they are now the most popular pills we have. In dyspepsia and sick headache, derangement of the biliary organs, and obstinate const 1 pa tion of the bowels, 1 know of no aperient more prompt and efficacious. I would add that their mildness and cer tainty of action render them a safe and effi cient purgative for weakly ludividuahj snd that they may be given at all times without apprehension of any of those injurious con sequences which so frequently attended the application of Calomel and blue pill. On tbe whole, I consider your Vegetable Pills an invaluable discovery.

TO THE AFFLICTED A CERTAIN CURE BECKWITH'S Anti-dyspi'piic Pills, the beat ever discovered for the cure of the Dyspepsia are recommended with confi dence for tbe following diseases, in which tbey have been si successfully employed, in almoft every variety of functional disorder of the Stomach, Bowels, Liver and Spleen; aucb as bean burnt, acid erucitations, nausea, headache, pais and distention of the ttomach and bowels, incipient Diarrhea), Cbolic, Jaundice, Flatulence, habitual costiveness, loss of appetite, sick head ache.Azc.

THE proprietors of this article, having devoted nearly seven years, and expended a large amount or money, in experimenting upon the various species of the Tomato (Soteaum Lycopercicum.) having at laat succeeded in obtaining from that vegetable a principle which as a medicine possesses all the beneficial properties or calomel, and yet incapable of producing the deleterious electa sometimes resulting frem the ate of that drug. This principle hepatine) is a mild and efficient cathartic, and, aa com pounded, also act aa a tmk, dimrttu. and diaphoretic. (See directions accompanying the mewtcine.) particular action and Its action upon the system it very general, no part escaping its influence is, however, upon the uertloriet, and that iia great power ia particularly manifested; from this it will be seen to have a direct effect upon the biliary organs, and to be particularly adapted to the treatmet of bUiou ft vert and other diseases where torpteityor congestion of the liver and portal circle pre- vailes: hence the great tuccet that has at tended its admrnistratiofi liver sflctios, dyspepsia, and diseases of the stomarb and bowels generally. Being diffusible in its opperattoo, it producea a free circulation in the vessels on the surf.ee or the bodyiecom-panied by a gentle perspiration.

It duet not exhaust like drastic purges, still its action it more oni and it may be often repeated, not merely with safety, but with great benefit, this becomes indispensably necessry in cases of long standing, for in (hem intense temporary impressions made by strong medicines seldom, if ever, do good, and tend to injure the stamina of the constitution There ia probably no medicine, capable of doing to much good, that will invariably give so little pain in its operation at this: and yet, no person ahould expect to have a severe disease removed without feeling it. The medicine could be so modified, as never to produce nausea, vomiting, or griping. But to do this, It would be necessary to destroy more than half its medical powers. A physician, in a recent letter to the. proprietors on the aays, aI think your! medicine as good as a medicine can be no I --mm improvement can or neea be made In chronic, or long atanding diseases, such as affections of the liver, of the various kinds Dyspepsia, Jaundice, the varioua diseaaesof the skin, ill conditioned ulcers, die.

Begin lo take the medicine in ordinary directions,) and continue it for weekaor months such diseases, cannot be cured immediately, but the continued use of this medicine, will certainly relieve, and here the disease ia within the reach, and power of medicine, a cure may be confidently relied Upon, no fear of bad consequences, need be apprehended, or ot acquiring a habit of taking them; for when the functions of the body have become regulated, and all the organs have acquired strength, sufficient to maintain their own actions, there can he no further use fin this, or any other medi cine As a general deobstuent, it ia altogether superior lo mercurial preperationt, even were aucb preperationt aafe in their nature and tendency. Aa a family medicine, one which may be relied on With certainty, in the first states of disease, of almost any form, it exceeds all former discoveries in medicine, either from tbo vegetable; or mineral kingdoms. It is put up in a neat and convenient form, for the use of families, or persona trav elilng. 07" A full aupply constantly for sale, by WM. II.

Abo clean the cap then repeat the ointment: After tbo head become sufficiently healed, bate the hair entirely on.

For inflamationt, fresh wounds, swellings, sprains or bruises, once in twentyfour hours, it often enough to apply the ointment. If applied to the tore breast of a female, it can be rendered more mild, if neceaaary, by spreading a small quantity of motion tallow on each piaster, and mix it well by beating In long atanding and deeply corrupt tores, I particularly recommend that the platters be spread large enough to cover toe whole inflamed part; in fact, should the sore be ait vated about the middle of the leg.

then wrap the tame in ointment, from the knee to the foot, until all inflamation ia subdued; and ahould mortification be apprehended, let the plasters be made warm, in order that they say he rendered mote active and powerful. In the bite of a snake, this course is siren ooualy urged, taking care in the first to scar ify the fleah around the part bitten The spider bite, if not early treated, will extend to trie none, iron a core, and some times produce deep ulceration For soreness about the breast, (produced by cold or cramp-col a plaater large enough to cover tbe whole cheat Foa Puxs. Take a bit of sperm candle, one inch long, and make it full of small croovea, and fill them with the ointment then introduce it up the fundament, and let it remain there nntil an evacuation, then repeat it nntil a cure ia effected This ointment makes an excellent res ting to follow a blister, in order lo produce a free suppuration, and thereby more effect ally relieve the part affected with pain, particularly in cases 01 pieuniy Some cases of the nicer, and scrofulous tumour will require the ointment for months, perhaps Jfore a thorough cleansing can be effected; therefore, patience and preeerv-ance must be exercised, with great regular ity in the dressings, while strict attention should be paid to diet, in. order to pre-" vent the system from becoming gross. In early etafeeof rnflamatory rheumatism, and soreness about the breast, produced by cold or colic, from oar own experience, this ointment stands swivelled.
