Beinc some sixty miles from home, I made use of all the remedies"! could think of. but without affording any relief.: On arriving at home, 1 was informed that Dr. K. a. nortnington had prepared a remedy for Cholera, &c, and was advised to use it I did so, and to my astonish ment one single dose" gave speedy and permanent relief, sinoe which time I have used it frequently in my family ; and, in justice to the Doetor, say I consider it huob run most talttabl msbicihb I have used in an experience ef twenty years.

I have tried several remedies put up for Cholera, &.Q-, but have never found such happy results from any as from your invaluable remedy. I have such unbounded confidence in its emcacy, that I am unwilling and will not leave home without a supply with me; and 1 regard it as one of the most valuable discoveries of the age. Yours, very truly, W. P. BEAM AN. WnfDsoB, N. O., Sept 19, 1854. Da. R. H. Wobthinqtob Dear Sir . I have made some effort and have succeeded in introdu cing your Medicine to the public, and I find it is taking very well indeed ; and the result is, that I have nearly sold what you sent me. I. there fore, wish you would send me some more as soon as you can. I have not the slightest doubt but that this Medicine is the very best reme dy out for the disease for which it is recommend ed. I hope you will soon send me a supply, as 1 would not like to get entirely out of it lours, truly, GEORGE W. McGLACGUON. From (he Murfreesbore' Gazette. Missus. Ebrroas In looking over the last number of the Gazette, I found a communication from our friend, Mr. L. P. Spiers, rcommending Dr. K. H. Worthmgton s Cholera Mixture to the public, for the cure of diarrhoea, dysentery, and other kindred diseases. Having experience in my own ease; the happy effects of its use, as well as other members of my family, I can safely say that I regard it superior to any remedy we have ever used, in an experience of twenty years. 1 would, therefore, recommend it to every family as an in valuable remedy, and every individual to procure a bottle aad keep it by them in these times of cholera. R. R. PARKER. Murfreesboro,' Aug. 80th, 1864. This is to certify that I have used Dr. R. H. Worthingtoa's Cholora medicine in my family for the last four or five weeks, in several cases of Bowel Complaint so common in our vicinity, with invariable success. One of the cases was that ef a negro ehild, some four or five months old, who was so emaciated by the effects of the disease, that its life was nearly despaired of, when my wife happened to think that she would, try the Cholera Medicine, and did so with complete success unless than forty -eight hours. I am throughly of opinion I that no family should be without so fine a medicine Given under my hand, this 8rd day of October, 1854. A. W. DARDEN. McarKtsBoao' N C. Dr. R. H. Worthington.

Jaundice, Dropsy, Rheumatism, Fevers, Gout Humors, Nervousness, Irritability, Inflarn to a tkma. Headache, Pains in the Breast, Side, Back, and limbs, Female Complaints, Ac, Ac Indeed, very few are the diseasee in which a Purgative Medi cme is not more or leas required, aad much sick nees and suffaring might be prevented, if a harm leas but effectual Cathartic were more freely used No person can feel well while a costive habit of -body prevails ; besides it soon generates serious and often fatal diseases, which might have been avoided by the timer and judicious use of a good purgative. This is alike tine of Cold, Feverish symptoms, and Bilious derangements. They all tend to become or produce the deep seated and formidable distempers which load the hearses all over the land. Hence a reliable family physic is of the first importanee to the public health, and this Pill has been perfected with consiimmata skill to meet that demand. An extensive trial of its virtues by Physicians, Profes sors, and Patients, has shown results surpassing any thing hitherto known of any medicine. Cures hare been effected beyond belief, were they not tub stantiated by persona of such exalt- position and character as to forbid the suspicion of untruth. Among the many eminent gentlemen who have testified in favor of these Pills, we may mention : Da. A. A. Hatbs, Analytical Chemist of Boston, . and State Assayer of Massachusetts, whose high professional character is endorsed by the Hon. Edwabd Bissau, 8enator of the tT. S. Robbbt aWixTEiOF, Ex-Speaker of the House of Representatives. Abbott LAwaxHca, Minister Plen. to England, f J own B. FrrxT atkicx, Cath. Bishopof Boston. Also, Da. J. R. Cm tow, Practical Chemist of New York City, endorsed by How. W. L. Majlct, Secretary of State. "Wm. B. As to a, the richest man in Atnerica. 8. Lxlajcd & Co., Propr's of the Metropolitan Hotel, and others. Did space permit we could give many hundred certificates, from all parts where the Pills have been used, but evidence even more eonvineag than the experience of eminent public men is found in their e fleets upon trial. These PUla, the result of long investigation and study, are offered to the publie as the best and most complete which the present state of medical science can afford. They "are compounded not of the drugs themselves, but of the medicinal virtu ef only of vegetable remedies, extracted by chemical process in a state of purity, and combined together in such a manner as to insure the beat results. This system of composition for medicines has been found in the Cherry Pectoral and Pills both, to produce a more efficient remedy than had hitherto been ob tained by any process. The reason is perfectly pb ' vkms. While by the old mode of composition, ev ery medicine is burdened with more or less of acri monious and injurious qualities, by this each indi vidual virtue only that is desired for the curative effect is present All the inert and obnoxious qual ities of each substance employed are left behind, the sura tire virtues only being retained. Hence it is self-evident the effects should prove as they have proved more purely remedial, and the PQls a surer, more powerful antidote to disease than any other medicine known to the world. As it is frequently expedient that my medicine should be taken under the counsel of an attending Physician, and as he eould not properly judge of a remedy without knowing its composition, I have supplied the accurate Formula by which Doth my Pectoral and Pills are made to the whole body of Practitioners in the United States and British Amer ican Provinces. If however there should be any one who has not received them, they will be promptly forwarded by mail te his address. Of all the Patent Medicines that are offered how few wauld be taken if their composition was known ! Their life consists in their mystery. I have no mysteries. . The composition of my preparations is laid open to all and all who are competent to judge oa the subject freely acknowledge their convictions of their intrinsic merits. The Cherry Pectoral was pronounced by scientific men to be a wonderful medicine before its effects were known. Many em inent Physicians have declared the same thing of my PHls, aad even more confidently, and are will ing to certify that their anticipations were more than realised by their effects upon trial. They operate by their powerful influence on the internal viscera to purify the blood and stimulate it into healthy action remove the obstructions of the stomach, bowels, liver, and other organs of the body, restoring their irregular action to health, and by correcting, wherever they exist such derange ments as are the first origin of disease. Being sugar wrapped they are pleasant to take, and being purely vegetable, no harm can arise from their use in any quantity. ' - For minute directions, see wrapper on the Box. FREPAJLED BT JAMES 0.
