Marks' s Ointment
FOR THE
CUBE OF PILES.
HpHE Subscriber begs leave to offer to
the attention of those who are subject
to that most disagreeable of disorders,
TIME
A remedy, the eflicacy 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
hose 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
liabit of giving it to her friends and neigh
bors for the last five or six years, and in
o instance to her knowledge has it 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 to
make a trial of the remedy. Its eflicacy is
guaranteed, and there can be no doubt
but that the d isorder may be arrested in its
earliest state, if no delay be made in its ap
plication.
The directions for use will be found on
each bottle.

Tomato and Slippery Elm
npHERE are many family medicines
now before the public, some of w hich
from their intrinsic virtues have justly
gained the confidence and gratitude ol
thousands; but in the light of contrast, am
in the scale of curative merit, Dr. Harrell's
Tomato and Slippery Elm Pills stand
pre-eminently above them all; nor is aiu
apology offered for taking this higl
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 ol all other prepar
ed medicines of the day. Fevers, Liver
affections, Jaundice, head-ache, loss ol
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 they are copious and free,
as an aperient they are mild and certain,
asatonic theyare 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 t ents
per box. $54 per gross.
Druggists, Booksellers, and Merchants
