THE PLEASANT SPRING HAS COME AGAIN
BY ISSIAC F. SHEPARD
The pleasant spring has co.we again,
Its voice is in the trees,
it speaks from every sunny glen,
It rides upon the breeze!
The seattering flock are lowing,
Beneath each shady tree,
The gentle winds are blowing,
Oh, come, rejoice with me!
The pleasant spring has come azain,
I hear the river's roar,
It sparkles, foams, and leaps, as when
My summer ki it bore!
Stern winter's chain is rended,
The gushing founts are free,
And light with water bleanded,
Is dancing o’cr the sea!
The pleasant spring has come again,
All natare’s heart is glad,
The monntains rise like giant men,
And smile with beaaty ciad :
The pretty flowers are springing
In every green wood shade,
Their perfumes round them flinging
As sweet as Eden made.
The pleasant spring has come again,
The plonghman’s songs arise,
While wooiland ¢choes mock, and then
The thrilling cadence dies;
The merry birds are singing,
Afar the masic floats,
And every vale is ringing
With soft and mellow notes.
The pleasant spring has come again,
Its voice is in the trees,
It speaks from every sunny glen,
It rides upon the breeze!
The pretiy flowers are springing,
The gushing founts are free,
The merry birds are singing,
Let all rejoice with me!

PETER CHANCERY, ESQ., AND
HIS FIVE DOLLARS.
Showing the blessinz that may follow the set
tlement of the smallest account.
BY PROFESSOR INGRAHAM.
« Sir, if you please, boss would like you to
pay this httle bill to day,” said for the tenth
time a half grown boy in a dirty jacket to a
lawyer in his office.
The attorney at length turned round and
stared the boy full in the tace, as if he had been
some uewly discovered specimen of zoology,
gave a long whistle, thrust his inky fingers first
into one pocket and then into the other of his
black cloth vest. and ‘hen gave another long
whistle, and complet=d his stare at the boy's
face.
s Ho, ha, hum! that bill, eh!” and the le
gal young gentlem:a extended the tip of his
fingers towards the well worn bit of paper, and
daintly opening it, looked at its coutents.
* Huom !—for capping aud heel tapping, six
shillings—for foxing, ten and six pence, and
other sundries eh! So your master wants
me to settle this bill, eh 7"’ repeated the man
of the briefs.
¢ Yes sir, this is the nineteenth time I have
come tug it, and I wiend to kouek oat twen
ty and call it half a day.”
* You're an impudent boy."
* lU'salwaysimpudent to lawyers, coz I can’t
help it—it’s catchin!”
“ You've got your eye teeth cat, I see.”
“ That's what bess sent me for, instead o’
the ’prentices as was gettin’ their teeth cut.
I cut mige at nine months old with the hand
saw. Boss says if you don’t pay the bill he’ll
sue you!"
“Sue me! I'm a lawyer!”
“It’s no matter for that? Lawver or no
lawyer, boss declares he will do it—so fork
over!”
* Declares he'll sue me!”
“ As true as there's another lawyer in all
Fildelfy.”
« That would be bad '
“ Wouldn't it!”
“Silence, you vagabond: I suppose [ must
pay this,” muttered the attorney to himself.—
“ [t’s not my plan to pay these small bills !
What is a lawyer's profession good for, if he
can't get clear of paying his own bills? He'll
sue me! ’Tis just five dollars! It comes
hard, and he don’t want the money! What
is five dollars to him! His boy could have
earned it in the time he has been sending him
to dan me for it. So your master will sue me
for it it I don’t pay 1
“ He says ke will do it, and charge you a
new pair o’ shoes for me.”
* Harkee. 1 can’t pay to-day; and so if
vour boss will sue me, just be so kind as to ask
him to employ me as his attorney.”
“Youl
“ Yes; ['ll issue the writ, have it served and
then you see I shall put the costs into my own
pocket instead of seeing them go into another
lawyer's. So you see if I have to pay the bill
I’'ll make the costs. Capital idea!”
*“The boy scratched his head awhile as if
striving to comprehend this * capital idea,”
and then shook it doubtingly. ¢ 1 don’t know
about this; it looks tricky. I'll ask boss
though, if as how you say you won't pay it
nohow without b>ing sued.”
“ I'd rather be sued, if he will employ me,
boy.”
* But who is to pay them costs—the boss 1"
The lawyer looked ail at once very serious
and gave another of those long whistles pecu
liar to him.
*“Well lam a sensible man, truly! My
anxiety to get the costs of suit biinded me to
the fact that they were to come out of my own
pockets before they could saf=ly be put into
the pocket! Ah, well my boy I suppose |
must pay. Here is a five dollar gold piece—
is it receipted—it is so dirty and greasy I can’t
seel”
« It was nice and clean when bess gin’ it to
me, and the writing shined like Knapp’s black
in'—it is torn so of a dunnin’ so much.”
“Well, here’s your money,” said the man
of law, takinz » oty five dollar piece from
his watch fob; = pow iell your master, Mr.
Last, that if he Las any other account he
wants sued ['ll attend to them with the great
est pleasure.”
“ Thank’ee sir,” answered the boy, pocket
ing his five, ** but you is the only reg’lar dun
pin’ customer boss has, and now you've paid
up, he hau’t none but cash foiks. Good day
to you.”
* Now there goes five dollars that will do
that fellow Last no good. I am in want of it,
but he is not. It is five thrown away. It
would'nt have left my pocket but that I was
sure that his patience was worn out and costs
would come of it. I like to take costs, but I
don’t thiuk that a lawyer has any thing to do
with paying them.”
As Peter Chancery, Esq., did not believe in
his owa mind that paying his debt to Mr.
Last was to be of any benefit to him, and was
of opinion that it was *“money thrown away,”
let us follow the fate of this five dollars through
the day.
“He has paid,” said the boy, placing the
money in his master’s hand.
. “Well, I'm glad of it,” answered Mr. Last,
surveying the money through his glasses, and
it's a half eagle too. Now run with it and pay
Mr. Furnace the five dollars 1 borrowed from
him yesterday, and said 1 wouild return to
morrow. But I'll pay it now.”
“ Ah, my lad, come just in time,” said Fur
nace, as the boy delivered his errand and the
money. * I was just wondering where I could
get ?ve dollars te pay a bill which is due to
dsy. * Here, John,” he called to one of his
apyrentices, *“put on your hat and take this
money to Ca‘Pt. O’Brien and tell him I came
within one of disappointing him, when some
money came in [ dido’t expect.” -
Capt. O'Brien was on board of his schooner
at the next wharf, and with him was a seaman
with his hat in his hand, looking very gloomy
as he spoke with him.
“I'm sorry, my man, I can't pay you—
but I have just raised and scraped the last dol
lar 1 can get above water to pay my insur
ance money to-fay, and have not a copper left
in my pocket to jingle, but keys and old nails.”
“ But I am very much in need, sir; my wife
is ailing, and my family are in want of a good
many things just now, and I got several arti
cles at the store expecting to get money of
you to take them up as 1 went along home.
We han't in the house no flour, nor tea,
NOr ————"’
“ Well, my lad, I'm sorry. You must
come to-morrow. I can’t kelp you unless 1
sell my coat off my back, or pawn my
schooner’s kedge. No body pays me.”
The sailor who had come to get an advance
of wages, turned away sorrowfully, when the
apprentice boy came up and said in his hear
ing,
«Here, sir, is five dollars Mr. Furnacg
owes you. He says when he told you he
could’nt pay your bill to-day, he didn’t expect
some money that came in after you left his
shop.”
* Ab, that's my fine boy ! Here, Jack, take
this five dollars and come on Saturday and get
the balance of your wages.”
The seaman, with a joyful bound, took the
piece, and touching his hat, sprung with a
light heart on shore, and hastened to the store
where he had already selected the comforts
and necessities his family stood so much in
need of.
As he entered, a poor woman was trying to
prevail upon the store-keeper to settle a de
mand for making his shirts.
* You had best take it out of the store, Mrs.
Conway, he said to her, * really I have notla
ken half the amount of your bill to-day, and
don’t expect to. I have to charge every thing
and no money comes in.”
[ can’t do without it,”* answered the woman
earnestly, “my daughter is very ill and in
want of every comfort; I am out of firewood,
and indeed I want many things which I have
depended on this money to get. 1 worked
night and day to get vour shirts done.”
“I'm very sorry Mrs. Conway,” said the
store keeper, Jooking into his money drawer ;
“I've not five shillings here, and your bill is
five dollars and nine pence."”
The poor woman thought of her invalid
child and wrung her hands.
A sailor was here a while ago and selected
full five dollars worth of articles here ou the
counter and went away to get his wages to
pay for them, but I question if he comes back.
If he does and pays for them, you shall have
your money madam.”
At this instant Jack made his appearance in
the door.
“ Well, ship mate,” he cried, in tone much
more elevated than when he was discovered
speaking with the captain, ** well my hearty,
hand over my treight. I've got the document,
so give us possession!” and displaying his
five dollar piece, he laid hold of the purcha
ses.
The store-keeper, examining and seeing
that the money was good, bade him take them
witii him, and then sighing as he tock another
and last look at the piece, he handed it to the
poor widow, who, with a joyful smile received
it from him and hastened from the store.
In a low and very humble tenement, near
the water was a family of poor children, whose
appearance exhibited the utmost destitution.
On a cot bed near, lay a poor woman, ill and
emaciated. The door opened and ?man in
coarse patched garments entered with a wood
saw and cross, and laid them down by the door
side and approached the bed.
“ Are you any better dear? he asked in a
rough voice, but in the kindest tones.”
“ No—have you found work? If you could
get me a little nourishing food, I could regain
my strength.”
The man gazed upon her pale face a mo
ment, and again taking up his saw and cross,
went out. He had not gone far before a wo
man met him and said, she wished him to fol
low her and saw some wood for her. His
heart bounded with hope and gratitude. and
he went after her to her dwelling, an abode
little better than his own for poverty ; yet wear
ing an air of comfort. He sawed the wood,
split and piled it and received six shillings,
with which he hastened to a store for necessa
ries for his sick wife, and then hurried home
to gladden her heart with the delicacies he had
provided. Till now he had had no work for
four days, and his family had been starving,
and from this day his wife got better and was
at length restored to her fawily, and to health,
from a state of weakness which another day’s
continunance would probably have proved fa
tal.
These six shillings which did so much good,
was paid him by the poor woman from the five
dollars she had received from the store-keeper,
and which the sailor had paid him. The poor
woman’s daughter also was revived, and ulti
mately restored to health, and was Jately mar
ried to a young man who had been three years
absent and returned true to his troth. But
for the five dollars which had heen so instru
mental in her recovery, he might have return
ed to be told that she whose memory had been
so long the polar star of his heart had perish
ed.
So much good did the five dollar piece do
which Peter Chancery, Esq., so reluctantly
paid to Mr. Last’s apprentice boy, though lit
tle credit is due to this legal gentlemen for the
results that followed. It is thus Providence
often makes bad men instruments of good to
others. Let this little story lead those who
think a ¢ small bill” can stand because it is a
small bill, remember how much good a five
dollar bill has done in one single day, and that
in paying one bill they may be paying a series
of twenty bills, and disposing good to hundreds
around them.
From the Rochester Democrat.
THE GIRL WITH THE TIN PAIL.
Some seventeen years ago, I was ¢ a "pren
tice boy” in the then * City of Mud,” now
the goodly city of Rochester. The business
of which I was obtaining a knowledge, was
conducted upon Exchange street, though I
boarded in one of the streets in the western
part of the city.
In going to my tea, I was in the habit of
meeting, almost every evening, for many weeks
in succession, a small, young, well-dressed
and good looking girl, with a little tin pail in
her hand.
At length my curiosity became excited, and 1
resolved to ascertain, if possible, the daily er
rand of the girl. Having met her the follow
ing evening, I accordingly turned upon my
heel, and followed her at a distance that would
uot excite suspicions in any one. 1 at length
saw her enter a small shoemaker’s shop on
South Saint Paul street. I subsequently
learned that the shop was owned by an indus
trious young man and an excellent mechanic,
and that he was the girl's—husband! He had
been married a few months, and possessing no
other capital than a good trade, a good name
and a robust constitution, had resolved to
economize in the article of' rent, by hiring a
house in the suburbs of the city. His break
fast was always ready for him by day break,
and taking his dinner with him, he saved the
hour each day which most persons spend in
going to and returning from thatmeal. Many
economists would have been satisfied with the
saving of as much time as this between the
rising and going down of the sun; but not so
with the young shoemaker. He also wished
to save the hour usually devoted to tea, and
therefore had that meal daily taken to him by
his pretty little wife. This arrangement en
abled him to spend the whole day, and so much
of the evening as he chose, in the shop.
The industrious habits of the shoemaker
were soon discovered, and met with their du®
reward. Customers flocked in upon him, and
he was obliged not only to rent a larger shop,
but to employ an additional number of work
men. But the increase of business did not
wean him from the plan he had early adopted
for the saving of time—his third meal still
having been taken to him by his wife in the
little tin pail.
About this time I left the city, and did not
return for some twelve years. 1 had not, how
ever, forgotten the shoemaker, having from my
first knowledge of him, discovered the germ of
success in his manner of life. I visited the
spot where his old shop had stood, but it had
given place to a new brick block. In vain I
looked about for his sign—it was nowhere to
be seen. I was at length informed by a friend,
that about two years previously he had remov
ed to Ohio.
“Do you know any thing of his circum
stances !’ 1 inquired.
#ldo. In the first place he took to Ohio
about five thousand dollars in cash, from three
thousand of which, invested in real estate,
near Cincinnati, he has already realized three
times that amount. The other two thousand
he put into a pork establishment, and that
sum has yielded hiin a large profit. But even
had he not resorted to speculation,” added
my friend, ** he could not but have succeeded
in life, so thorough were his business habits,
and especially as those habits were seconded
by such an indusirious little wife.”
I have recently returned from a visit to
Ohio, and again seen the shoemaker and his
wife. He is but now in the prime of life, and
possesses an ample fortune and an unsullied
reputation for probity. Never having had any
personal_ acquaintance with him, I inquired
him out, and introduced mysell to him as a
Rochesteronian. This was late in the after
noon and I very cheerfully accepted an invita
tion to take tea with him. Improving a mo
ment of silence at the table, [ remarked,
“I fear Mr. H., that you are not so great
an economist of time as you used to be.”
* Why not 1" he inquired.
“ When I first became acquainted with Mrs.
H. you could not afford time to go to tea, and
she used to carry it to you.”
“In a little tin pail,” said she, bursting into
a laugh.
“ Exactly.”
“Indeed, Mr. W., have you known us so
long 1"
“] then made myself known as the former
apprentice of Mr. R., and was immediately re
cogninzed by Mrs. H., as one of her earliest
street acquaintances in Rochester.
* But that pail—what do you think has be
come of that?”” asked Mr. H.
* That, I suppose. was long since numbered
among the things that were,”” I answered.
* By no means,” said he with a smile, at the
same time tipping a wink to his wife.
She arose from the table and left the room,
and soon returned with the identical pail, as
they both assured me. I need hardly say, that
it bore palpable evidences of the ravages of
time.
*But what is your object, Mr. H., in pre
serving that pail? SR ga -
“Its associations. We look upon it as one
of the earliest instruments which contributed
to our success in life, and as such we shall
ever cherish it.”
I soun afterward took my leave of Mr. and
Mrs. H. and their interesting and happy fam
ily; and not a day since then has my mind
been without its rememberances of The Girl
and her Tin Pail.
Home ArrecTions.—The heart has memo
ries that cannot die. The rough rubs of the
world cannot obliterate them. They are the
memories of home—early home. There is
magic in the very sound. There is the old
tree under which the light hearted boy swung
on mapny a summer day—yonder the river in
which he learned to swim—there the house
in which he knew a parent's love, and found a
parent’s protection ! Now there is the room
in which he romped with brother or sister—
long since, alas! laid in the grave to which he
must soon be gathered, overshadowed by yon
old church, whither with a joyous troop like
himself he has often followed his parents to
worship with and hear the good old man who
gave him to God in baptisin. 'Why even the
very school hiouse, associated in youthful days
with thoughts of ferule and task, now comes
back to bring pleasant remembrances of many
an attachment there formed—many an occa
sion that called forth generous exhibitions of
the traits of human nature. There he learned
some of his heart’s best emotions. There,
perchance, he first met the being, who, by her
love and tenderness in after life, has inade
home happier even than that which his child
bhood knew. There are certain feelings of hu
manity—and those, too, among the best—that
can find an appropriate place for their exercise
only by one’s own fireside. There is a sacred
ness in the privacy of the spot, which it were
a species of desecration to violate. He who
seeks wantonly to invade it, is neither more
nor less than a villain ; and hence there exists
no surer test of the debasement of morals in a
community, than the disposition to tolerate,
in any mode, the man who disregards the sanc
tities of private life. In the turmoils of the
world, let there be at least one spot where the
poor man may find affection that is disinterest
ed—where he may indulge a confidence that
it is not likely to be abused !
InteresTlNG Facrs 18 Brier.—Out of
every thousand men, twenty eight die annual
ly.
. The number of inhabitants of city or coun
try is renewed every thirty years.
The number of old men who die in cold
weather is to the number of those who die in
warm weather, seven to four.
The men able to bear arms form a fourth of
the inhabitants of a country.
The proportion between the death of women
and that of a man, is one hundred to one hun
dred and eight. The probable duration of fe
male lives is sixty ; after that period, the cal
culation is more favorable to them than men.
One half of those who are born, die before
they attain the age of 17. S
Among the 3,125 who die it appears by the
registers that there is only one person of 100
years of age.
More old men are found in elevated situations
than in valleys and plains.
DueLLine.—Two musquitoes one morning
met on a leaf in a garden. Both were filled
with the blood drawn from their last nocturnal
depredations. They were silent and “*dumpy,”
cross and savage. One of them ran out his
sting, and wiped it on his fore leg. The oth
er thrust out his sting, and pointed it towards
the first musquito. This was considered an
insult, and so the offended musquito steps up
to the other and says:
“ Did you tarn up your sting at me 1"’
“1 ran out my sting; you can apply it as
you choose,” was the answer.
* Sir, your remark savors of rascality,” said
the first.
« Hah !”” exclaimed the other, * a downright
insult! No gentlemanly musquito will submit
to such treatment without demanding safisfac
tion! Draw, villian, and defend yoursel!”
Cucumßers, &c.—A friend of long experi
ence wishes us to say that if people will sift
ground plaster of paris upon their vines, in
the morning, when the dew is on them—re
newing it occasionally, when required—they
will not be troubled with bugs or any thing
else to destroy them. His experience of many
years has confirmed the trauth of this.
Pracu Trees.—A correspondent of the
Morris Jerseyman says :—* [ am satisfied that
screenings of anthratic coal are good protection
of peach trees against worms. I placed around
each tree a box, two feet square and six inches
deep, and filled it with the coal; and they have
no indication of worms about them.”

Dyspepsia and Liver Com})laint,
TH E Patenit Medicine Stomachica et Hepeticae,
formed by chemical analysis and synthesis
of several proximate vegetable principles, are
universally acknowledged to have totally eclipsed
the pretentions of every other remedy and super
seded the necessity of every other mode of treat
ment, wherever the above complaints are found
to exist, as well as an enlargement of the spleen
and in jaundice.
Persons afflicted with these fashionable and
hitherto considered alinost incurable diseases, are
under lasting obligations to the great scientific
skill and deep research of Dr. J. P. Peters.
Dr James Ewell, author of the Medical Com
panion, or ['amily Physician, gives testimony to
the following : -
“To all whom it may concern.—This is to cer
tify, that I have witnessed the operation of Dr.
Peters’ Medicine Stomachice et Hepaticz, in a
number of very obstinate dyspeptic and liver af
fections of long standing ; hkewise in several cases
of enlargement of the spleen, and their effects
were truly astonishing. I have no hesitation in
declaring them the most valuable preparation for
those distressing ailments that have ever come
“within my knowledge.

TO THE PUBLIC.
DOCT. J. C. DAVIS would respectfully in
form the pubiic, that he has a sure and im
mediate cure for the present prevailing epidenic,
known as the influenza or Tyler Grippe. All
who have the misfortune to be affected with this
complaint, may in a very short space of time be
entirely cured, and at a very trifling expense.
All other complaints so prevalent at this season
of the year, may be entirely cured in the same
short space of time, with no trouble to the patient,
and with the same reasonable charges.
A thousand sygnatures might be given to prove
the efficacy of my medicines for these compfixinm,
were it deemed mnecessary. But as most people
prefer to be cared themselves, than to read the
certificates of others, I would invite them as soon
as they feel the earliest symptoms, to repair im
mediately to my office, corner of Clifford and Eddy
streets, and be cured at once.
N. B. About three hundred persons have
been cured of these complaints within the last
few weeks, by the use of my simple medicines.

FITS.
This dreadful and dangerous disease, of how
ever long standing, can be cured without fail by
the use of Mrs. Mort’s Fit Mixture. This medi

Overflow of the Unine.—Many suffering under
these alarming symptoms, are not aware of their
danger, and with what rapidity they undermine
the constitution by neglecting to apply for aid, or,
as in too many instances, not receiving proper
treatment upon application, they are brought to
anearly grave. Mrs. Mott has, after long research
discovered a sure and certain remedy, which by
long practice she has proved so thoroughly, that
she does not hesitate to promise a certain cure.

Mrs. Mort has long treated this prevalent and
painful complaint with success, in ali its various

LUCINA CORDIAL. :
MAGNET'S LUCINA CORDIAL, for the
sure and speedy cnre of incipient consnmp
tion, barrenness, impotency, lucorhm, or whites,
gleet, obstructed, difficult or painful menstrnation,
incontinence of urine, or involuntary discharge
thereof, and for the general prostration of the
system, no matter whether the result of inherent
causes, or of causes produced by irregularity, ill
ness or accident.
The wide spread celebrity of this wonderful
and inestimable cordial in both hemespheres is a
suffidient gnarantee for its quick and positive
success in curing all the above affections and
complaints. Nothing can be more surprising
than its invigorating effects on the hnman frame.
Persons all weakness and lassitnde before taking
it, at once become robust and full of eneregy
under its invigorating influence. It immediately
counteracts the nervelessness or looseness of the
female frame, which is the onliv cause of barren
ness ; and which, prior to Dr. Magnet’s discovery,
was considered incurable. And it speedily re
moves the impediments produced by physical
prostration, w,::ich frequently deter men from
getting married. Language, indeed, cannot do
justice to the morits of the Lucina Cordial, which
1s regarded by the heads of the ifaculty in all parts
of the world as one of the most important medical
discoveries of any age Price $3 per bottle.

LONDON AGENCY.
THE Subscriber baving received his Commis+
sion direct from Messrs. Morrison, Moat &
Co., of the British College of Health, London,
as sole agent for the State of Rhode lsland. for
vending their HYGEIAN UNIVERSAL MEDI
CINE, the public may rest assured, that, should
any medicines be ofiered for sale in this State,
purporting to be Morrisox’s Hyeriaxy Usivers
saL Mepicixzs, of the British College of Health,
London, by any person except mysell or my
authorized Agents, as named below, wiLrL pE
COUNTERFEIT.
The Hygeian Medicines rest solely onm their
own intrinsic merits, which precludes the neces.
sity of spending thousands of dollars annuelly,
in advertising and pnffing, as is the case with
many other medicines now before the public.
Nothwithstanding that the celebutodp Morrison
Pills of the British College of Health, have been
so many years before the public, iy every eiviliz
ed nation on the Globs, and although their sal
atary effects have been acknowledged by teus of
thousands of persons on both sides of the At
lantie, yet are there, even to this day, some
I:laces where their useful properties are but little
nown—or, if known at all, where their health
giving and health restoring virtues have been
confined within an extremely limited and exclu
sive sphere As in cases with all the medicines
that have become popular with any community,
these pills have been coulnlerfeiteJin every pos
sibie way that the most cunning ingenuity could
devise, and their valuable excellence depreciated
l by every species of fraud, misrepresentation and
‘abuse. Where they have been tried, however,
well and fairly tried, none have been found but
to praise and recommend them. The atllicted of
almost every tongue and land, who have been by
their use resusicated (rom the very last stages of
disease, have spoken of their inestimable worth,
in langnage that has put to shame even the bold
est effrontery ; their eflicacy in cases where every
other remedy has proved unavailing, is a trinm
phant answer to every imputation wiich the most
base and mercenary have been able to invent.
Since the death of the elder Mr. Morrison,
even many of those who most rancorously op
posed him, have done him and his high character
and principles the justice which they withheld
from him while living ; and but very few have
now the temerity to deny the correctness of the
theory which he advocated so many years, and
the truth of which he succeeded to establish by
an experience and practice greater than has ever
fallen to the lot of any other man. The wanu
facture of the medicine is now, as for some time
past ithas been, under the immediate supervision
of the sons of Mr. Morrison. P

DOCT. COLLINS® PILLS.
YIELI)ING to the solicitations of my nnmer
.ous patients, I now offer to the public a
safe, efficacious, and certain remedy for all cura
rable Bilious complainis. Most diseases arise in
the first instance from obstructions in the liver,
stomach, or bowels—sometimes in all. These
pills reach in their operation these several organs,
evacuating and cleansing them, without impair
ing in the least their healthy functions. They
remove congestions in the head, and break up
fevers and violent diseases. Persons who are at
all subject to such complaints, shonld always have
a box at hand, as they may be taken while at the
usual occupation, requiring bat litile variation in
diet; always proving easy, safe, and successful
in their operations. One or two taken on going
to bed, is sure to remove costiveness, and all
those obstructions so ruinous to the health of
voung females. They are eminently calculated
for persons at sea, or in southern climates. Once
used and they supersede the use of other medi
cine. [s° Warranted not to contain a particle
