Messrs XYyatt und Ketcham : Gentlemen Un
demanding that you are lhe 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 ol that invaluable
medicine. I have been afflicted for many vears with
the Piles, and have tried various remedies, but with
no beneficial ellects. Indeed, I began to consider
my cae 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 look his advice,
and rejoice to say that I am not only relieved, but as
I believe, perfectly cured. I mosl earnestly recom
mend it to all who may have the misfortune to be af
flicted with that annoying and dangerous disease.
ery respectfully,
Y'our ob't servant,

REMARKABLE CURE OF PILES Thirty
Mocx r Wisai.iGTOx, Berkshire Co., Mass
Nov. 29 1 h, 1847.
Messrs. Wyatt & Ketcham : Gents For 3D
years 1 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. I was confined to bed unable to help my
self, and at last given up by my physicians 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 ol
Providence, and the use of Dr. Upham's Electuary,
though an old maw, I have the pleasure of stating
the fact to the public lhai 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 uee it according lo the directions, I will myself
warrant a cure, in every case.
Your?, with the utmost expression of thankfulness

SOLE AMERICAN AGENT.
THE success which has attended HASTINGS'
NAPHTHA SYRUP, in Decline, Consump
tion, Spitting of Blood, Asthma fyc, since its introduc
tion into the United Slates, folly eq isIs what it met
with in L,urope. its use lias beeu adopted in nearly
all our large hospitals ; and the most eminent of our
physiciaus have wriiteu 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; aud a single
case has not yet been reported iu which it hasailed
logive satisfaction aud relief. If the reader is at all
inclined to Consumption, or affected with any of the
diseases which are likely to produce it, lei him lose
no time iu procuring a bottle of HASTINGS' NA
PIITHA SY RUP, and oue or two doses will satisfy
lnni 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, aud a
warrant of its excellence, and mas' ery over the dis
ease, in a few minutes after it is received iuto the
system. Hence Sir James Clarke, the Court physi
cian, remarks of it, that " in consequence of the brisk
aud unmislakeable energy of its operations, no
mediciue has so much the confidecce of patients as
Hastings Compound Syrup of Naphtha.
Ill confirmation of the above, we annex
the follwiug certificates, selected from a large num
ber now in lhe office of the American agent.

The day after lhe Examination, the following pa
per was handed to me by some friends, with the re
quest that I would give it publicity :
The undersigned having been in attendance on
an Examination of the Pupils ef the" Warrenton Fe
male Seminary, an Institution under the superinten
dence and direction of the Hon. Daniel Turner, lake
great plea.-ure in testifying to tbe more than ordina
ry proficiency of the Pupils in the various branches
r n t ami ran
01 remaie ruucauon. 1 ne Xjxaminaiion was a ve
ry thorough one, and comprises the extensive course
of study as set forth in the published Prospectus f
the Academy. And the undersigned were pleased
to observe, that whilst the lighter accomplishments
had received a full share of attention, as exhibited
in an interesting display of vocal and Instrumental
Music, and in beautiful specimens of Drawing, Paint
ing and Embroidery that the more solid and prac
tical Branches, especially tho.e of Arithmetic, Alge
bra, Geometry, Geography, Astronomy, aad Histo
ry had been made prominent. The Examination
111 loose uranencs, reaected nign credit, both on
Teachers and Pupils ; and in saying that, they
would by no means omit to elate, that the same pro
ficiency, that evidence of the same thorough teach
ing, was exhibited in the examination on the varidus
other branches comprised in lhe course of study.
And they believe they but feebly express the feelings
and sentiments of the large arid intelligent Auditory
present on the occasion, when they ssy that th.y
were never before present at an Examination, moie
