Brandreth's Pills.
A Vegetable Sc Universal Medicine.
f n vlLSE Pills cure all diseases by purifying the
tl blood They give to all the organs of the body
th proper amount of life necessary tothe-r purifica
tion. They are a footain of health to all man
kind, and may be justly said to give the beauty and
vigor of youth to the weakness and decreptitude of
age. Can it be believed that after being before the
public for ninety-one years, their sale should only
uow be a little rising a million of boxes per year?
But so it is, and it is only to be attributed to fatal pre
judice, or their sale would be at least twenty mil
lions of boxes per year instead of only one million.
Let all the sick use them they will soon be among
(he healthy ; let all who would secure themselves
from sickness have them by them, in case of a sud
den attack ; lor a few doses taken when the body
commences to get out of order, and the benefit is
secured at once. Fathers and mothers, attend to
this subject; sons and daughters, attend to this sub
ject ; let all men and womeu ask themselves the
question, whether what has stood the test of time so
long does not deserve some attention.
And who is to be benefitted 7 Those who use the
Brandreth Pills. They are the ones that receive the
interest of a thousand per cent How? In a pres
ent payment of health, ef vivacity for dullness, ol
brightness and clearness of perception, in place of
cloudiness and confusion of mind.
Brandreth'a Pills are a fife preserver. Those who
know their qualities feel secure in their health aud
faculties beiug preserved to them to an indefinite pe
riod. They are equally good in all kinds of disease,
no matter how called, because they cannot be used
without taking out imparities from the blood, and
perseverance will cause its perfect purification, and no
disease can be present when the blood is pure.

Dr. B. BRASDRFrn:
By Dear Sir : Wc, the undersigned, being fully
couviuced of the superior quality of your Vegetable
Universal Pills over all others as a Cathartic Medi
cine, which opinion is founded on our own personal
experience having used them for .years as a family
medicine. We therefore take pleasure in thus re
commending them as specially excellent in prevent
ing aud curing those bilious difficulties to which al
most every individual is, at certain periods of the
year, more or less subject. In all dyspeptic cases in
which we have seen them used, they have affected a
perfect cure. The method of using them was to lake
one or two every night when goiug to bed. Who
ever that is dyspeptic, and follows this advice, will
be sure of a cure, so we believe, as we have never
known them to fail. Nothing but the welfare of our
fellow-beings has induced us to write this ; you will
therefore confer a particular favor upon us by hav
ing it published.

Messrs Wyatt und Kclcham : Gentlemen Un
derstanding that you are the General Agents for the
sale of Dr. Upham's Vegetable Electuary, for the
cure of the Piles, I have deemed it my duty to vol
unteer a recommendation in behalf of that invaluable
medicine. I have been afflicted for many years with
the Piles, and have tried various remedies, but wilh
no beneficial effects. Indeed, I began to consider
my case hoeless. But, about the first of September
last. I was prevailed upon by a friend to make a tri
al of the above named medicine ; I took his advice,
and rejoice to say that I am not only relieved, but as
I believe, perfectly cured. I most earnestly recom
mend it lo all whomav have the misfortune to be af
flicted wilh that annoying and dangerous disease.

Messrs. Wyatt Sc. Ketcham : Gents For 30
years I have been afflicted with Piles, general Debil
ity, and Inflammation, causing tumors and prolapsus
of the bowels, and which had resisted all the medical
treatment Dr. Chapman and others could give. The
last three years of that time my sufferings defy de
scription. 1 was conbned to bed unable to help my
self, and at last given up by my physician and friends
in despair of ever gaining my health; in fact, for a
lime before I commenced using Dr. Upham s Elec
tuary, I was entirely speechless, and my burial clothes
were made. But under the beneficent mercies of
Providence, and the use of Dr. Upham's Electuary,
though an old ma, I have the pleasure of stating
the fact to the public that my health is now good,
and I hope to live many years, if it is God's will, to
make known the virtues of Dr. Upham's Electuary,
and to recommend it lo my afflicted fellow creatures.
It helped me beyond the expectations of all who
knew my case, and I can only say to others, that it
is, in my opinion, the best medicine in the world for
Piles, or any other disease of the bowels ; and if they
will use it according to the directions, I will myself
warrant a cure, in every case.
Yours, wilh the utmost expression of thankfulness,

THE success which has attended HASTINGS'
NAPHTHA SYRUP, n Decline, Consump
tion Spitting of Bhod, Asthma c, since its introduc
tion into the United States, folly eq ials what it met
with in Europe. Its use has been adopted in nearly
alt our large hospitals ; and the most eminent of our
physicians have wriiten highly favorable notices of it,
and patronise it extensively in their private practice.
Indeed, they have almost abandoned all other reme
dies for the usual diseases of the lungs; and a single
case has not yet beea reported in which it has failed
to give satisfaction and relief. 11 the reader is at all
inclined to Consumption, or affected with any of the
diseases which are likely to produce it, let him loe
no t me in procuring a bottle of HASTINGS' NA
PHTHA SYRUP, and one or two doses will satisfy
him of its surprising virtues, and that a short contin
uance of its use will restore him to health ; for it not
only cures in a brief period, but gives relief, and a
warrant of its excellence, and mastery over the dis
ease, in a few minutes after it is received into the
system. Hence Sir James Clarke, the Court physi
cian, remarks of it, that " in cousequence of the brisk
aud unmiEtakeable energy of its operations, no
medicine has so much the confidence of palieuts as
Hastings' Compound Syrup of Naphtha."
lit confirmation of the above, we annex
the folliviug certificates, selected from a large aura-,
ber now in the office of the American agent. '

he was a Volunteer; but before his death, he inform
ed his father, that he was told in Mexico, by a Wake
County Volunteer, that he knew a man residing in
Wake County, (but I have reason to think the man
referred to, resides in Moore County,) by the name
of William Windley, a very poor man, with a wife
and several children, and sometimes made coarse
hats for a livelihood ; and from the description, he
supposed ibis person to be his long lost brother ; that
his father greatly desires his ron Wtiliam to return
to him, and bring his wife and children with him,
and let him make them all independent and happy,
so far as he can do it. And as his Mother is far
gone with Consumption, and greatly desires to
see her son William, once more, before she dies, his
father wishes him to hasten back to his long forsaken
home and if he needs funds to enable him to do so,
he can obtain them through the Subscriber, if he will
come and see him, and establish his identity.
