JUarh&'s Ointment
FOR THE
CURE OF PILES.
Hp HE Subscriber begs leave to offer to
the attention of those who are subject
to that most disagreeable of disorders,
TUB PULES,
A remedy, the efficacy of which has been
tested by the experience of years, and the
utility of which has in no instance been
impaired from failure to relieve. To
those who have been subjected to this
disease, it will prove, if applied when re
attacked, a sure preventative to its contin
uance, without the least pain; indeed ma
ny have pronounced it the most agreeable
remedy ever applied. There can be no
danger in its use, as its component parts
are of harmless vegetable matter.
The mother of the subscriber who is the
maker of the Ointment, has been in the
habit of giving it to her friends and neigh
bors for the last five or six years, and in
no instance to her knowledge has its ap
plication been ineffectual, as will be seen
by a number of certificates annexed, as
well as the testimony of a medical gentle
man who has used it himself and prescri
bed it to the relief of others.
Those who are suffering will do well in
make a trial of the remedy. Its efficacy is
guaranteed, ana mere can be no doubt
but that the disorder may be arrested in its
earliest state, if uo delay be made in its ap
plication.
The directions for use will be found on
each bottle.

THESE Pills are no ionger among
those of doubtful utility. They have
parsed awiy from the hundreds that are
daily launched upon "the tide of expert
meat," and now stand before the public
higher in reputation, and more extensive
ly employed in all parts of the United
States, the Canadas, Texas, Mexico, and
the West Indies, than any medicine that
has ever been prepared for the relief of
suflenng man. I hey have been introdu
ced wherever it was found possible to car
ry them; and there are but few tovyns that
do not contain some remarkable evidences
of their good effects. The certificates
that have been presented to the proprietor
exceed twenty thousand, upwards of five
hundred of which are Irom regular practi
sing physicians who are the mostcompe
tent judges of their merits.
Otten have the cures performed by this
medicine been the subject of editorial
comment in various newspapers and
journals; and it may with truth be asser
ted, that no medicine of the kind has ever
received testimonials of greater value than
are attached to this.
They are in - general use as a family
medicine; and there are thousands ol lam
dies who declare they have a supply al
ways on hand.
They have no rival in curing and pre
venting Bilious Fevers, t ever and Ague,
Dyspepsia, Liver Complaints, Sick Head
ache, jaundice, Asthma, Dropsy, Rheu
matism, Enlargement of the Spleen,
Piles, Colic, Female Obstructions, Heart
burn, Furred Tongue, Nausea, Disten
sion of the Stomach and bowels, Incipi
ent Diarrhoea, Flatulence, Habitual Cos
tiveness, Loss of Appetite, blotched or
Sallow Complexion, and in all cases ol
torpor of the bowels, where a cathartic
or aperient is needed. They are exceed
ingly mild in their operation, producing
neither nansea, griping, nor debility.
The Pills are put up intin boxes, price
50 cents per box.
From Dr. Eli Todd, late president of
the Medical Society of Connecticut,
and Principal of the Insane Hospital
al Hartford, dated Sept. S, 1S2S.
My personal acquaintance with Dr.
Joseph Priestly Peters, together with the
very favorable impression of his talents
& his character, derived from his friends,
have satisfied me that he is well enti
tled to the medical honors he received t
Yale College, and that the public may
safely confide in his integrity and skill in
the exercise of his profession.
FEVER AND AGUE.
Augusta, Ga., Feb. 10, 1839.
To Dr. Peters. Sir For upwards of
15 months 1 have been cruelly afflicted
with Fever and Ague,and during that time
could find nothing (tho' I had applied to
every thing) that gave me any thinglike
permanent reliel. At length, however,
your Pills were recommended to me, by
one of our best physicians; and I am most
grateful and happy in being able to add,
that I had scarcely used two boxes when
I found that they had restored me to per
fect health. Since then various members
of my family have used them with equal
success and consequently I feel it my duty
to apprise you of the fact, and to request
you to publish this certificate, as I am anx
ious to add my public testimony to the
almost miraculous virtues of your unrival
led medicine. Respectfully yours,
THEODORE JAMES.

MOFFAT'S
Vegetable JLife Medicines.
npHESE medicines are indebted for
their name to their manifest and
sensible action in purifying the springs and
channels of life, and enduing them with
renewed tone and vigor. In many hun
dreds of certified cases which have been
made public, and in almost every species
of disease to which the human frame is
liable, the happy effects of
MOFFAT'S
Life Pills & Phenix Bitters,
Have been gratefully and publicly ac
nowledged by the persons benefitted, and
who were previously unacquainted with
the beautifully philosophical principles up
on which they are compounded, aud up
on which they consequently act.
The JAfe Jflcdieincs
Recommend themselves in diseases of
every form and description. Their first
operation is to loosen from the coats of
the stomach and bowels, the various im
purities and crudities constantly settling
around them, and to remove the hardened
ffeces which collect in the convolutions of
the small intestines. Other medicines
only partially cleanse these, and leave
such collected masses behind as to pro
duce habitual costiveuess, widi all its
train of evils, or sudden diarrhoea, with its
imminent dangers. This fact is well
known to all regular anatomists, who ex
amine the human bowels after death: and
hence the prejudice of these well informed
men against quack medicines or me
dicines prepared and heralded to the pub
lic by ignorant persons. The second
effect of the Life Medicines is to cleanse
the kidneys and the bladder, and by this
means, the liver &t the lungs, the healthful
action of which entirely depeuds upon the
regularity of the urinary organs. The
blood, which takes its red color from the
agency of the liver and the lungs before it
passes into the heart, being thus purified by
them and nourished by food coming from
a clean stomach, courses freely thro' the
veins, renews every, part of the system.
and triumphantly mounts the banner of
Health in the blooming cheek.
Moffat's Vegetable Life Medicines
have been thoroughly tested, and pro
nounced a sovereign remedy for Dyspep
sia, Flatulency, Palpitation of the Heart,
Loss of Appetite, Heartburn and Head
ache, Restlessness, Ill-temper, Anxiety.
Languor and Melancholy, Costiveness,
Diarrhoea, Cholera, Fevers of all kinds
Rheumatism, Gout, Dropsies of all kinds,
Gravel, worms, Asthma and Consumption,
Scurvy, Ulcers, Inveterate Sores, Scar
butic Eruptions, and bad complexions,
Eruptive complaints, Sallow, dowdy,
and other disagreeable Complexions,
Salt Rheum, Erysipelas, common Colds
and Influenza, and various other com
plaints which afflict the human frame. In
FEVER AND AGUE, particularly, the
Life Medicines have been most eminently
successful; so much so thai in the Fever
and Ague districts, Physicians almost uni
versally prescribe them.
All that Mr. Moffat requires of his pa
tients is, to be particular in taking the Life
Medicines strictly according to the direc
tions. It is not by a newspaper notice, nr
by any thing that he himself mav say in
uicir iavor,inai he hopes to gain credit.
It is alone by the results of a fair trial.

Tomato and Slippery JElm
r EM HERE are many family medicines
now before the public, some of which,
from their intrinsic virtues have justly
gained the confidence and gratitude of
thousands; but in the light of contrast, and
in the scale of curative merit, Dr. Harrell's
Tomato and Slippery Elm Pills stand
pre-eminently above them all; nor is any
apology offered for taking this high
ground, unless it is the fact of their supe
perior, and almost miraculous effects in the
cure of diseases. They produce, when ta
ken, a deep and lasting impression that
they stand at the head of all other prepar
ed medicines of the day. Fevers, Liver
affection?, Jaundice, head-ache, loss of
appetite, costiveness, female complaints,
and every disease within the reach of hu
man means; yield readily to the power
ful, yet gentle operation of these pills.
As a cathartic tby are copious and free,
as an aperient they are mild and certain,
asatonictheyare prompt and invigorating,
as an alterative they are superior to Calo
mel or any other known remedy, and as a
purifyer of the blood they are unequalled
in the history of medicines. There is no
disease can withstand their life-giving en
ergy when taken in time, or interrupt the
system at all when they are administered
as a preventative. During sickly sea
sons, and the prevalence of epidemicks,
their occasional use will preserve the
body from attacks of disease. 50 cents
