SOMETIIIXti more precious than Gold.
The most superior Anti-Billious Pill now in the
market, and which are creating so much excitement,
and are so greedily swallowed by the Billious, are Dr.
Charles A. Van Zandt's
Am-Bimous Health Restorative Pills. They
cure safely and certainly, without preventing the pa
tient from attending to the business, and are the only
sure remedy for Billiouness and
All its Attendant Plagues, ever placed before
the people. They open the pores, cleanse the stomach
restore the biliary ducts to health full operation and
perform miracles in the way ofpr'sercing health, and
preventing spread of dangerous maladies. 1 his in
valuable medicine will also correct a depraved appe
tite, strengthen the nerves or any other debilitated
part of tlie system, remove those dull headaches which
are premonitory of Liver Complaints, and generally
accomplish what it takes Dozens of other Medicines
to do. , . , , i
All this is nerformed throuah a concise knowledge
of the plain fuel, viz: that there is but one cause tor
troubles of this kind, and that a medicine so made as
to strike at the root of this cause, must ol a necessity
Annihilate and Dissipate all its. subsequent re
sults, which medical incompetency has so badly treat
ed. .....
Yes Bilhousnes involves an lnlmity ol disorders,
all w hich render life a curse and death a reliet.
Billiousnees is simply a manitestauonyt disease ot the
Liver, and if not taken
In Time,
will eventually send the sufferer to "that bourne from
whence no traveler returns." Iet a billious affection
have sway, and it will end in induration or abscess
of tho liver, producing, as it commits its secret and in
sidious ravages, Dyiepsia, Gout, Epilepsy, Heart
disease, internal disorders of all kinds, foul stomach,
Headaches, Hysterica, Shortnes of Breath, Mucous,
Expectorations, Puins in the Breast, Dry Coughs,
Sore Throat, Dropsy, Apoplexy, all species of wast
ing fevers, copricious appetite, or loss of it; Scurvy,
Chlorosis, Jaundice, Neuralgia, Palpitations, severe
costivenes, and an hundred other fearful complaints
which are too numerous te fnention. We can prove
to anybody's satisfaction, thnt these pills will com
pletely renovate the human frame, and Cure Perma
nently, all tliese ills by driving away every improper
condition of the bile and liver.
liilliousncss being produced by a hot climate, by
a changable atmosphere, by damps and fogs, this med
icine, unequalled as it is, is just the thing for the
West, where men are exposed to all the cause and
effects of the Bile: to the South, where Liver Com
plaints seem to be epidemical: to the Sea, when an
excellent Cathartic is invariably the Preserver of life
and Hapiness.
Let no one suffer, but buy Dr. Van Zandt's Anti
Billious, Health Restorative Pills, and be strong and
mentally as well as physically vigorous. The seden
tary want it, and can procure nothing better.
In short, all these virtues of the pharmacccpia are
comprised in these little pellets of life.
CrNo family should be without themCt
If philanthropists., would purchase boxes of these
invaluable pills and distribute them among the poor,
they would prevent the expense ot Doctor's fees, and
ameliorate much genuine suffering.

knowledge of the specific action produced in that or
gan (the'Liyer,) by the Extract so successfully resort

to give his Pills a trial in those diseases where Chron

The result in every instance, so far as he has been
informed, has shown their Complete Triumph over
that disorder. Thus convinced of their comp.ete efli

and thousands who in the health-restoring use of them
have been benefited, now bear witness to their power

Dr. Taylor's Balsam of Liverwort has been used
successfully for eight years in the ere of these diseases.
Remember the original and genuine is made only at

six years old, was suddenly taken ill with a fever, and
after a severe sickness; a violent cough ensued.
He was bloated, his skin was filled, and his physi
cian said there was no favorable symptom about him
;hat he had confirmed consumption. At that time we
promred a bottle of that valuable medicine, Taylor's
Balsam of Liverwort. After taking one bottle, we be
gan to have holies of his recovery. He continued un
til he had used five bottles. It is now a year from
that time, and his health is beeter than it has been

A JJewWoek. by Tersico. James G. Ben
nett, in a recent letter from Paris, gives an ac
count of a visit to the Studio of Persico, in
which he found a new statue that the artist had
just completed for a Russian Countess of
wealth. He says:
"It is difficult to describe the design, but
here goes the attempt. It was in paradise, and
I think on the sixth or seventh morning after
the creation of heaven and earth. The sun
was shining over the garden of Eden the trees
were quivering in the morning breeze the
flowers throwing off their fragrance in every
direction. On a small block of marble, half
way between the tree of knowledge and the tree
of life, and under the shade of a beautiful aca
cia, there was sitting, with one leg under the
other thigh, a female in the full bloom of
health, beauty and youth. It was Eve, just
alter her creation by the Lord God, but before
she had seen mat, or had been led by the invis
ible hand of her Maker to the marriage couch
of Adam in another corner of paradise. Inno
cence, beauty, virtue, softness, almost girlish
ness, swelled every vein, und moved in every
limb. On her right stood a little dog, lifting up
its right foot, and looking up to the lovely wo
man, who had on her hand a fluttering dove.
The arms of the lovely female are both thrown
up high over her head. Her left hand is thrown
back towards Heaven her right, with long ta
pering fingers, bears the dove above her head.
The little dog, from his attitude, seems to want
to play with the dove the dove is slightly
freightened at the movement of the dog, and
cowers down on the beautiful hand of its pro
tector. The head of Eve is half averted from
the dog to the dove, while a soft smile, just
caught in. the bud, is suffused over the face.
The smile proceeds from the luxuriant short
lips of a lovely small mouth, and radiates half
way up the cheeks. The head, the bust, the
arms, the thighs, the ligs, the feet, the w hole
limbs and lineaments are all' most exquisit
in grace, delicacy, and richness of outline, al
most verging on voluptuousness. Yet from
the position, the expression, the ease, the ap
parent occupation of the woman, there is noih
ing veloptuous or earthly in the design or
supposed to exist in her mind. She seems to
be perfectly rmconscious that she is young
or a woman, or beautiful, or uncovered, vt that
sire win command any admiration or desire
from any created being. Her whole expression
is an open and unsubdued girlish delight at the
attitudes and sensations of the cowering dove,
and the familiar little dog at her feet. The dog
want to catch the dove from playfulness the
dove is intimidated and the half-ripening
smile and exquisitively beautiful attitude of
the female, give the mind a most vivid im
pression of the unconscious purity of Ere before
she was led to the bovver of Adam.
In this point of view I think the statue of
Persico presents a design more pure, more ex
quisite, more sublime, than that of Venus de
Medicis. The Venus always seems to me,
from the altitude ami position, to represent a
beautiful woman, who had just discovered that
she had lost her drapery, and would give any
price, even six shillings a yard, for a chemise or
a night gown. Some of the proportions in Per
sico's Eve are different from those in the Ve
nus. Neither the neck, nor the feet are so
long, and I find that Mrs. B., who has been
studying the Venis de Medicis in the gallery of
Flojence, makes an objection to the length of
her neck, not as a critic, but as a quick-eyed
woman in female form and proportion )n the
whole, I have but little doubt but Persico's
statue will create a noise in Europe before
lorg. He is an American citizen by naturali
zation, but he believes that he is even more,'
for his mind and his genius have grown up in
that free land, and he w ill soon return to make
it his permanent home.
French Liberality. The Paris correspond
ent of the Boston Atlas, speaking of the efforts
making in France to rdieve the poor of tliat
country, says
The aid given to individuals is enormous, ev
ery city, village and hamlet distributing tick
ets to the poor, with which they can obtain
bread at four cents a pound. The municipality
of Paris have for weeks distributed 500,000 of
these tickets every day, and as bread is now
nearly six cents a pound, its daily charity is up
wards of nine thousand dollars, besides large
sums given in cash, wood, medicines and cloth
ing. Charitable societies and individuals swell
this noble work, all the capitalists of the day
contributing largely. Ladies have sold their
Jewelry; one old priest sold the watch he had
carried since his boyhood, and several colleges
have disposed of their libraries to relieve star
vation. "Abouta month since," saysa letter to
the National, "w hen it was so very cold, a per
son went to demand charity of General Urouot,
(who died last week.) 'I have not a sous,'
said the General: but after a pause he added 'ah!
yes, my full uniform vet remhins.' A dealer
was sent for, and he sold his imperial uniform,
with the epauletts he wore at Waterloo, to pur
chase bread for the poor of Nancy."
