Worms, Scurvy, Itching ot the fc.ufl,
King’s Evil, and all Cutaneous Disor
ders; in short every comnlaint to which
the human frame is so direfullv subject,
under all their varied forms ana names:
as it has been indisputably demonstrated,
that Man is subject to only one veal clit*
ease, that is the Impurity of the KloodA
(from whence springs every complaint
that can possibly assail his complicated
frame) and a very slight trial of the Lni
versal Medicines will evince their all
sufficiency to cleanse and purify that
source ot life, as well as disease, and re
store the suilcring patient to the blessings
of Health.
This valuable Medicine being compos
ed only of vegetable matter, or ‘medici
nally nerbs, and warranted, on oath, as
containing not one particle of mercurial,
mineral,or chemical substances (all m
j which are uncongenial to the nature ol
j man, and, therefore destructive to the hu
man frame) is found to be perfectly
harmless to the most tender age or
weakest frame, under every stage of hu
man sutfoing. ami, at the same time, the
' most certain m searching out the root ol
I every complaint, however deep, and ol
; performing a cure, that was ever oifer
! ed to tne world.
The Medicines are comprised in these
| different articles only, viz. in two kind of
, Piiis, designated No. 1 and No. 2; the tirst
| is a powerful, but most gentle, mihl ape
! rient or opening medicines, detaching
and partially removing the bilious ropy
humors, whilst tiie No. 2 pills carry off
those and the serous, acrid and putrid
humours incidental to the body, and act
together as a ferret in a warren never
resting until every avenue of tire human
frame is thoroughvv searched and cleans*
ed of its impurities.
The genuine Medicines can be had of
Win. Pomeroy, Alexandria. D. and
also, of the following Sub-Agents— It. W.
Polkinhorn. Saddler, Pennsylvania Ave

| PETER’S VEGETABLE PILLS
RE recommended as decidedly supe
rior to any other known combination
of Medicine ever offered to the American
people.
When taken according to the direction
accornpaning them, they are highly bene
i ficiul in the nreveniion and cure of bilious
| fevers, fever and ague, dispepsia, liver
> complaints.sick head ache,jaundice,asth*
! t>a, dropsy, rheumatism, enlargement of
the spleen, piles, cramp and bilious cholic,
female obstructions, heart burn, rancid
furred tongue, distention of the stomach
and bowels, incipient diarrhoea, flatu*
lence, habitual costiveness, loss of appe-1
tite, blotched or sallow complexion, and
in ali casf-sof torpor of the bowels, when
a cathartic or an aperient is needed.—
They have the testimony of the whole
medical profession in their favor, while
not a single case ol ill consequences or in*
efficiency, can be alleged against them.
Perhaps no article of the kind has ever
been offered to the public, supported by
testimonials of a character so decisive,
from sources as respectable, or that has
given more universal satisfaction.
Wherever these pills have been once
introduced into a family, they become a
standing remedy, and are called for again
and again, which is sufficient proof of
their good qualities.
It is a truth, that almost every person
who has ever used Peter’s Vegetable Pills,
recommend them to their friends, and it
is from this circumstance alone, that they
have gained such an unrivalled reputa
tion.

DEATH AND DISEASE.
Mens sana, in corpore sano.
“A mind well lodged, and masculine of
course.”
Death met Disease the other day,
And thus they gossipped on the way.
Death—How comes it friend, in eve
1 rv shape,
You let so many folks escape?
A lew years back and every elf,
Once sick, you laid upon the shelf,
])i/spepsia then t ad power to kill—
Asthma defied the doctor s skill—
The lancet too at ali times sought,
Its hecatomb of victim? brought,
Then Cosh'cry?ess could fatal prove,
And Wien mat ism no power remove;
A simple cold, where’er you went,
A subject to my kingdom sent.
I low comes it then, that now a days,
Eolksslip your gripe and go their ways?
Asthma suasides— Dyspepsia cured,
The laurel is no more endured;
The sick to day forget ail sorrow,
Ami laugh at both of ns to-morrow.
Disease— Dread sire! 1 use all means
I can,
To abbreviate the life of man;
1 dog ins footsteps from his birth,
’Till he returns to mother earth;
And though’tis true that my success
Is daily growing less and less,
This satisfaction I can feel,
I have not slackened in my zeal.
1 use all means l used of old,
Changes of weather—hot and cold,
I give them colds; l give them pains;
1 rack their bones; 1 lire their veins,
l poison them with rancid bile.

Yet all is useless—nothing kills.
