Messrs Wvalt und Ketcham : Gtntlemen 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 ol that invaluulde
medicine. 1 have been afflicted for many years with
the Piles, and have tried various remedies, but with
no beneficial ellects. Indeed, I degan to consider
mv cade hopeless. 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 tossy that I am not only relieved, lulas
I believe, perfectly cured. I mnst earnestly recom
mend it to all who may have the misfortune to be af
flicted with that annoying and dangerous disease.
Very recpect fully,

Minn. Wtatt & Kktcham : Gents For 3u
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 othera could give. The
last three years of that lime my Bufferings defy de
scription. I was confined to bed unable to nelp my
self, and at last given up by my physicists and friends
n despsir of ever gaining my health; in fact, for a
time before I commenced using Dr. Uphsm's Elec
tuary, I was entirely speechless, and my burial clothes
were made. But under the beneucent mercies ol
Providence, and the use of Dr. Upham's Electuary,
though an old ma if, I have the pleasure of stating
the fact to the public that my health ia now good,
and I hope to live many years, if it is Uod s will, to
mske known the virtues of Dr. Upturn's Electuary,
and to recommend it to 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
s in my opinion, the best medicine in the world lor
Piles, or any other disease of the bowels ; and it they
will use it according to the directions, 1 will myself
warrant a cure, in every care.
Yours, with the utmost expression of thankfulness,

APHTHA SYRUP, in Decum-Consump
tion, Spitting of Blood, Asthma &-c since its introduc
tion iuto the Uuited StateSi fully eq lals what it met
with in Lurope. its use has been adopted in nearly
all our large hospitals ; and the most eminent of our
physicians have written highly favorable notices of it,
and patronise it extensively iu their private practice.
Indeed, they have almost abandoned all other reme
dies for the usfca! diseases of the lungs; and a single
case has not yet been reported in which it has failed
to give satisfaction and relief. If the reader is at ail
inclined to Consumption, or affected withny of the
diseases which are likely to produce it, let him lose
no time 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 cont in
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 mas'.ery over the dis
ease, in a tew minutes alter it ib received into the

and unmistakeable energy of its operations, no
medicine has so much the confidence of patients as

DANIEL TURNER.
Warrenton Nov, 18, 1848.
The day after the 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 pleasure in testifying to the more than ordina
ry proficiency of the Pupils in the various branches
of Female Education. The Examination was a ve
ry thorough one, and comprises the extensive course
of study as set forth in the published Prospectus t f
the Academy. And the undersigned were pleased
to observe, that whilst the lighter accomplishments
bad 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 mote solid and prac
tical Branches, especially those of Arithmetic, Alge
bra, Geometry, Geography, Astronomy, aid Histo
ry had been made prominent. The Examination
in those branches, reflected high credit, both on
Teachers and Pupils ; and in saying that, they
would by no means omit to state, that the same pro
ficiency, that evidence of the same thorough teach
ing, was exhibited in the examination on the various
other branches comprised in the course of study.-
And they believe they but feebly express the feelings
and sentiments of the large and intelligent Auditory
present on the occasion, when they say that they
were never before present at an Examination, more
thorough and more satisfactory.
- Mr. Turner, himself, a Graduate of the United
States Militaiy Academy, at West Point, is a Teach
er in the School, and is assisted by the best Instruc
tors. The undersigned, therefore, take great pleas
ure in recommending the School to public patron
age, well satisfied that in the high character of the
excellent Principal of the Institution, no Parent
need desire a surer guarantee that a child commit
ted to such care will receive every mark of kindness
and attention.
