FOR THE
CUKE OF PILES.
Hp HE Subscriber begs leave to offer to
the attention of those who are subject
t i lhat most disagreeable of disorders,
THE PIZsElS,
A remedy, the efficacy of which 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 will prove, if applied when re
allacked, 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 use, as its component parts
are ol harmless vegetable matter.
The mother of the subscriber who is the
maker of the Ointment, has been in the
habit of giving it to her friends and neigh
bors for ihe 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 call be no doubi
but that the disorder may be arrested in its
earliest state, if ll0 delay be made in its ap
plication. The directions for use will be fouud on
each bottle.

MOFFAT'S
Life Pills A: Plienix Bitters.
THE perfectly safe, unerring, and suc
cessful treatment of almost every
species
of disease bv the use of
lIoffaPs Jjife Medicines,
Is no longer a matter of doubt, as a refer
ence to the experience of many thousand
patients will satisfactorily prove. During
ihe present month alone, nearly one hun
dred cases have come to 1 tie Knowledge ol
Mr. Moffatt, where the patient has, to all
appearance, e fleeted a permanent cure by
the exclusive and judicious use of the Life
medicines some eight or ten ol these hail
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 liife Medicines
Are a purely VEGETABLE 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 spare of time than
any other prescription. In Fever &i ague,
Inflammatory rheumatism, r evers ol every
description, sick head ache, heart burn,
Dizziness in the head, pains in the chest,
Flatulency, impaired appetite, and in eve
ry disease arising from an impurity of the
blood, or a disordered stale of the stom
ach, the use of these medicines has always
proved to be beyond doubt, greatly supe
rior to any oilier mode of treatment.
All that Mr. Moffat aski 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. Moli'us
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 curef and
perhaps some exactly similar to his own
Mortal's Medical office in New York, 375
Broadway.

SOOTHING SYKUI.
For children Teething,
PREPARED BY HIMSELF.
To Mothers and JVurscs.
HP H E passage of the Teeth through the
gums produces troublesome and dan
gerous symptoms. It is known by moth
ers that ihere is great irritation in the
mouth and gums during this process. The
gums swell, the secretion of saliva is in
creased, ihe child is seized with frequent
and sudden fits ol crying, walchings, start
ng 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
uily alleviated, spasmodic convulsions uni
versally supervene, and soon cause the
dissolution o( the infant. If mothers who
have iheir little babes afilicled with these
distressing symptoms, would apply Dr
Wilhain Evans s Celebrated Soothing
5,3'r,,P" which has preserved hundreds ol
infants when thought past recoverv, from
being suddenly attacked with that fata
malady, convulsions.
This infallible remedy has preserved
hundreds of Children, w hen thought past
recovery, from convulsions. As soon as
the Syrup is rubbed on the gums, the chih
will recover. This preparation is so in
nocent, so etiicacious, 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 ihe pores. Parents should never he
without the Syrup in the nursery where
there are young children; for if a chih
wakes in the night with pain in the gums
the Syrup immediaicly giv es ease by open
ing ihe pores and healing the gum; theie
by preventing Convulsions, Fevers, &c.
To ihe Agent of Dr. Evans' Soothing
byrup: Dear Sir The great hem fit
affurdtd to my suffering infant by your
Soothing Syrup, in a case of protracted
and painful dentition, must convince every
feeling parent how essential an early ap
plication ol such an invaluable medicine
is to relieve infant misery and torture. .My
infant, while teething, experienced such
acute sufferings, lhat 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 ol 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
linuing iu its use. I am glad to inform
you, the child has completely recovered,
and no recurrence of that awful complaint
has since occurred; the teeth are emana
ting daily and the child enjoys perfect
health. 1 giveyou my cheerful permission
to make this acknowledgment public, and
will gladly give any information on this
circumstance.
When child ren begin to be iu pain with
their teeth, shooting in their gums, put a
Utile of ihe Syrup in a tea spoon, and
with the linger let the child's lmjius be
rubbed for two or three minutes, three
times a day. It must not be put to the
breast immediately, for ihe milk would
take the syrup oil too soon. When the
teelh are just coming through their gums,
mothers should immediately apply the sy
rup; it will prevent the children having a
fever, and undergoing that painful opera
tion of lancing the gums, which always
makes the tooih much harder to come
through, and sometimes causes death.
