Maries's Ointment
FOR THE
CURE OF PILES.
Hp HE Subscriber begs leave to offer to
the attention of those who are subject
to thai most disagreeable of disorders,
TIME FIIjZIS,
A remedy, the efficacy of w hich has been
tested by the experience of years, and the
utility of which has in no instance been
impaired from failure to relieve. To
those who have been subjected to this
disease, it w ill 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 u:.C, t component parts
are of harmless vegetable matter.
The mother of the subscriber who is the
maker of the Uintment, has been in the
habit of giving it to her friends and neigh
bors for the last five or six years, and in
no instance to her knowledge has its 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 efficacy is
guaranteed, and there can be no doubt
but that the disorder may be arrested in its
earliest state, if 0 delay be made in its ap
plication. The directions for use will be fouod on
each bottle.

fin K perfectly safe, unerring, and suc
cessful treatment of almost every
species of disease by the use of
ilIoflTaVs JLife Medicines,
Is no longer a matter of doubt, as a refer
ence to the experience of many thousand
patients will satisfactorily prove. During
the present month alone, nearly one hun
dred cases have come to the knowledge of
Mr. Moffatt, where the patient lias, to all
appearance, effected a permanent cure by
the exclusive and judicious use of the Lite
medicines some eight or ten of these had
been considered beyond all hope by their
medical attendants. Such happy results
are a source of great pleasure to Mr. M.
and inspire him with new confidence to re
commend the use of his medicines to his
fellow citizens.
The Ztife llcilicincs
Are a purely VEGETA BLte preparation.
They are mild and pleasant in their ope
ration, and at the same lime thorough
acting rapidly upon the secretions of the
system carrying off all acrimonious hu
mors, and assimilating with and purifying
the blood. For this reason, in aggravated
cases of Dyspepsia, the Life medicines will
give relief in a shorter space of time than
any other prescription. In Fever & ague,
Inflammatory rheumatism, Fevers of every
description, sick head ache, heart burn,
Dizziness in the head, pains in the chest,
Flatulenry, impaired appetite, and in eve
ry disease arising from an impurity of the
blood, or a disordered slate of the stom
ach, the use of these medicines has always
proved to be beyond doubt, greatly supe
rior to any other mode of treatment.
All that Mr. Moffat asks of his patients
is, to be particular in taking them strictly
according to the directions. It is not by
a newspaper notice, or by any thing that
he himself may say in their favor, that he
hopes to gain credit. It is alone by the
results of a fair trial. Is the reader an in
valid, and does he wish to know whether
the Life medicines will suit his own case?
If so, let him call or send to Mr. Moffat'
agent in this place, and procure a copy of
the Medical Manual, designed as a Domes
tic Guide to Health, published gratuitous
ly. He will there find enumerated very
many extraordinary cases of curei and
perhaps some exactly similar to his own.

SOOTHING SYRUP
For children Teething,
PREPARED BY HIMSELF.
To .Mothers and jYurses.
Hp H E passage of the Teeth through the
gums produces troublesome and dan
gerous symptoms. Il is known by moth
ers that there is great irritation in the
mouth and gums during this process. The
gums swell, the secretion of saliva is in
creased, the child is seized with frequent
and sudden fits of crying, watchings, start
ing in the sleep, and spasms of peculiar
parts, the child shrieks with extreme vio
lence, and thrusts its fingers into its mouth.
If these precursory symptoms are not spee
dily alleviated, spasmodic convulsions uni
versally supervene, and soon cause the
dissolution of the infant. If mothers who
have their little babes afflicted w iih these
distressing symptoms, would apply Dr.
Will iam Evans's Celebrated Soothing
Syrup, which has preserved hundreds of
infants when thought past recoverv, from
being suddenly attacked with that fatal
malady, convulsions.
This infallible remedy has preserved
hundreds of Children, when thought past
recovery, from convulsions. As soon as
the Syrup is rubbed on the gums, the child
will recover. This preparation is so in
nocent, so efficacious, and so pleasant, that
no child will refuse to let its gums be
rubbed with it. When infants are at the
age of four months, though there is no ap
pearance of teeth, one bottle of the
Syrup should be used on the gums, to
open the pores. Parents should never be
without the Syrup in the nursery where
there are young children; for if a child
wakes iu the night w ith pain in the gums,
the Syrup immediaiely gives ease by open
ing the pores and healing the gum; there
by preventing Convulsions, Fevers, Sic.
To the Agent of Dr. Evans' Soothing
Syrup: Dear Sir The great benefii
afforded to my suffering infant by your
Soothing Syrup, in a case of protracted
and painful dentition, must com iuce every
feeling parent how essential an early ap
plication of such an invaluable medicine
is to relieve infant misery and torture, My
infant, while teething, experienced such
acute sufferings, that it was attacked w id,
convulsions, and my wife and family sup
posed that death would soon release the
babe from anguish till we procured a bot
tle of your Syrup; which as soon as ap
plied to the gums a wonderful change was
produced, and after a few applications the
child displayed obvious relief, and by con
tinuing in its use. I am glad to inform
you, the child has completely recovered,
and no recurrence of that aw ful complaint
has since occurred; the teeth are emana
ting daily and the child enjoys perfect
health. I giveyou my cheerful permission
to make this acknow ledgment public, and
will gladly give any information on this
circumstance.
When children begin to be in pain with
their teeth, shooting in their gums, put a
little of the Syrup in a tea-spoon, and
with the finger let the child's gums be
rubbed for two or three minutes, three
times a day. It must not be put to the
breast immediately, for the milk would
take the syrup off loo soon. When the
teeth are just coming through their gums,
mothers should immediately apply the sy
rup; it will prevent the children having a
fever, and undergoing thai painful opera
tion of lancing the gums, which always
makes the tooth much harder to come
through, and sometimes causes death.
Beware of Counterfeits.

sing to obtain it at 100 Chatham St.,

Hp H ERE are many family medicines
now before the public, some of w hich,
from their intrinsic virtues have justly
gained the confidence and gratitude of
thousands; but iu the light of contrast, and
in the scale of curative merit, Dr. Harrell's
Tomato and Slippery Elm Pills stand
pre-eminently above them all; inn is any
apology offered for taking this high
ground, unless il is the fact of their supe
perior, and almost miraculous effects in the
cure of diseases. They produce, w hen ta
ken, a deep and l isting impression that
they stand at the head ol all other prepar
ed medicines of the day. Fevers, Liver
affection?, Jaundice, head-ache, toss of
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 thoy are copious and free,
as an aperient they are mild and certain,
as a tonic they are 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
