U. 1JYOTT’S ANTI-BILIOUS 1>1LLS
As a family medicine, a mild and geutlc
purgative and a purifier of the blood. Tho gen-1
o<-.\i use ol those celebrated Pills throughout tho
United States, for those forty years pust, and the
stronx recommendations they have acquired from
all classes of our fellow citizens, places them in a
much more elevated situation in public estimation,
than any other rom sdy which has lioretoforc been
introduced.
Tho following are amonj the many diseases for
which l)r. Dyott** • ;lobrated Pills arc so deserved
ly distinguished fur curing. Uy thoir counteract
ing properties in removing the bile from the stom
ach ‘ they prevent and euro the bilious fever ; chills
<>r ague and fever ; spring and fall fevers; yellow
fever; bilious cholic ; pleurisy ; dysentery; worms;
bilious vomiting, sick ami foul stomach.
lly cleaning the bowel* and stomach from all im
purities, t If y restore I he loss of appetite, remove flat
ulency, cure the headache, habitual costiveness,
colds, coughs. asthma, opeliplic fits, hypochondria,
hysterical complaints, strans-xuary, grave], ftc.
By a xeneral and copious use they will be found
very beneficial in curinx the rheumatism and gout,
lumhaxo or pains in the bach. All impurities in
the blood yield to their happy effects, whether pro
ceeding from constitutional ailment or from indis
erect intemperance.
These celebrated pills have been used to very
threat advantage in curinx the dyspepsia nr indi
gestion, bronchitis, liver complaint, &e.
They are an infallible medicine for Female Com
plaints generally, and especially for removing1 those
obstructions which are the source of thoir ailments
at certain periods, they possess the eminent advan
tages over most other purgatives, that while they
operate gently, they produce neither costiveness,
debility, or too great excitement.
Whenever there is a predisposition to receive dis
ease from marsh effluvia, or from a too copious use
of ardent spirits or from a vitiated state, of tho bile,
these pills will assuredly counteract it.
They are highly recommended to travellers, by
sea or land, and may be made use of with safety
without change of diet and in situations where no
cxeicisecan ho used. They will be found particu
larly valuable for preventing1 diseases incidental to
hot climates, they deterge and cleanse vicid hu
mors, open obstructions, and promote the secretion
of goo 1 bile, operate as an easy cathartic as a pow
erful diuretic, and as a diaphoretic.
Dr. Dyott, under the strong conviction of the
power of his pills, to relieve the afflicted, recom
mends the use of them to those who are in health
as well ns the afflicted, at least once a fortnight,
during the Spring and Summer months, in which
he feels assured those who attend to his advice will
find the. benefit they seek.
A bill of directions accompanies each box of Pill*.

flRBAT DISCOVERY IN THE IIE VI,
vT IMG ART.—Important to invalids and friends
of the sick.—Medicine, however efficacious, lias al
ways been taken with dissatisfaction by the sick,
owing to its unpleasant nature. Hence it has ever
been the study of all great physicians to disguise its
nauseous taste, but their efforts have never been
crowned with complete success. It was left for Dr
Smith to accomplish. Having given the subject his
unremitting attention for nearly two years, he has,
after spending a considerable amount of money,
produced a medicine which, while it is every way
agreeable to the palate, is sure to triumph over DIS
EASE and all opposition, and to repay him for his
devotion to the improvement of medical science

general |ivor with which they have been received
in all parts of the Ucited States, warrant tlie pro
prietors in the declaration that “ they are the great

other pills, these neither gripe, produce nausea nor
any other unpleasant sensation, while they arc as
powerful as it is possible for a medicine to be, and

CRRTNCKKRIIOFF’S HEALTH RE
• SI OKA 1 J \ E.—This medicine is a safe a ml
certain core in complaints of (lie Liver and Lung-9.
Consumption, Liver Complaint, chronic and severe
Coughs and Colds.are almost immediately relieved
and ultimately cured by a faithful use of the Re
storative. Dr. Chilton, the eminent practical chem
ist and physician of New York, attaches his cer
tificate stating- its entire vegetable composition, af
ter he had made a careful analysis. It is wholly
devoid of any irritating property, and manifests so
decided healing and pur i Tying qualities as to quick
ly allevia te the most aggravati ng cough and change
the morbid expectoration. Pains in the chest and
side, so often attendant on Lung Complaints, are
effectually removed without the least inconvenience,
the seat of the difficulty being reached much quicker
than any external application. From the reputa
tion ol this medicine in New York, where it has
been sold for some years, the most indubitable tes
timony is given to its merit. Certificates have
been literally showered in on the proprietor from
the best sources, and stating the cases of persons
raised even when given up by their physician._
The fact of no one single instance of dissatisfaction,
known or expressed, is a strong guarantee of its
merit. The following certificate is from Dr. Chil
ton, the well known Ncw-York chemist.
“ I have analyzed a bottle of medicine called * C.
RrinekerhofTs Health Restorative'; and find that
it does not contain Mercury, or any other metallic
preparation, nor opium in any of its forms. It is
composed of vegetable matter entirely.”

•lUAKLUS.—A History of the society of '
I* riendv, compiled troin its standard records, and
other nnthcntic sources, by W. It. U'agsiulf, M.I».
One handsome volume, 8 vo $,"> yt>. J
“ This seems to us to be a work of decided value
and of greatest interest, not only to professedly
theological students, but to ali who wish to ac
quaint themselves with the progress ol peculiar
principles, or the growth of tho peculiar scots. In
this excellent work he has given very full and very
interesting biogiuphic-al sketches of nil the men
who were active in establishing, or who have made
illustrious the character and history of the Society.
The work exhibits n close acquaintance with his
subject, and a careful industry in examining au
thentic records concerning it, and is written in a
style which must attract and reward attention.”—
jY. Y. Courier.
i “ This book is one tlmi was much needed ; and it
will do good. The introduction is a very perspic
uous history of Christianity prior to the time of
George Fox ; and it brings down the history of the
Society of Friends in F.ngland from its origin to
the year 1736. The work will prove very attract
ive and popular, and we can confidently recom
mend it to all classes, for they will find! in it the
history of persecuted goodness, plainly and char
itable told, in all the simplicity of truth."—Pint ml.
Inquirer.
‘‘It is something singular, that almost every wri
ter belonging to the S ciety of Friends i« remarka
ble for verbosity, while the members of the society,
in their oral communications, exhibit great sim
plicity and brevity of speech. This fault of their
writers necessarily confines their publications to a
‘select few,’ by whom patience is esteemed a vir
tue. l)r. WagstafT has judiciously departed from
the. established rule, ami given us valuable his
torical matter written in a readable and pleasant
style."—TV. Y. Post.
. “ The author has attempted to consolidate the va
rious histories of Friends, and present them in sim
ple hut approved language divested of quaintess d
and circumlocution, and in that he has eminently
succeeded. This volume will be found deeply in
teresting, not only to the members of the Society of
Friends, but to all readers.”—U. S. Gazette.
“ 'Fins object of the author is to furnish a com
pendious and modern work, in order that the his
tory of the Society may be known without the ne
cessity of searching records unndapted to general
reading, cither from their quaintness or their ver
bosity of style. To this lie has consulted tin- stand
ard historians and primitive members ot the Socie
ty, and has produced a work which will no doubt
find favor with the public. The present volume
room cnees with the year 1536, and extends to 1736.
It is the design of the author to prepare shortly
another volume, containing a full account of the
privations endured by the Society iu America."—
Balt. Am.
‘‘The work of Dr. AVagstafT contains the most
satisfactory and interesting exposition of the rise
and progress of the Society of Friends, nod of the
doctrines which they hold, that we have ever read.
The facts detailed in the volume before us are de
rived from the most authentic sources—the standard
historians and primitive members of the Society.”
—Journal of Commerce.
“This work has already attained a vast Amount
of credit, and seems to be rightly valued by thoRc
who have tested its merits.”—American Republican.

junct. Those who are exposed to the vicissitudes
of weather on voyages or journeys, can take them
at all times with perfect safety. In full doses they
are a highly efficacious and safe Anti-billious medi
cine. They seldom or never produce sickness at
the stomach or griping.
There have been many imitations and worthless
counterfeits of these pills putin circulation by un
principled and ignorant persons—the directions,
wrappers, &c., of the genuine pills so closely and
accurately copied, that the closest observer could
not, without a trial of their effects, distinguish be
tween them.

Jesse E. Dow & Co. *
The fist number of our new paper will be issued
on **>« »r«t day of May next, with an entire new
dress—new type, hue white paper, with other im
portant alterations and improvements. The paper
will bo devoted to a fearless exposition of Demo
cratic pi inciplcs ; it will zealously and unremit
tingly oppose each and every effort to establish a
mammoth monarchy bank and other mischievous
corporations and consolidations of wealth, which
subvert the lights of the people and undermine the
pillars of the Kebublic; it will opposo an oppres
sive and anti-republican tariff system, the assump
tion ol the State debts by the General Government,
and all other federal principles which have an in
evitable tendency to destroy public prosperity as
well as individual happiness. Against all such po
litical delusions, we shall wage u tic ban "■in", un
compromising war.
The Farmer and the Mechanic who produce all
tlio real capital of the nation, will find in our pa
per an unwavering champion of their inalienable
rights ; the long cherished principles ol the edi
tors are too well known to the public to icquiic
any pledge upon this point. To the Miscellaneous
Department particular attention will he devoted •
the Ladies will always find in our columns a choice
selection from the current literature of the day, a
wcll as original contributions from the most tale
eiiteo writers of which our country can boast. A
genera1 Minima, y of Foreign and' Domestic news
will be furnished.
The conduct.)!* have already secured the aid and
co-opeiation of a largo number of the mosf distin
guished literary and political writers of the day
arrangements will also be made, at the earliest pe
riod possible, to embellish our columns by the con
tributions of roircspondents from abroad. With
tins brief and imperfect outline of our plan wc
very respectfully submit our claims to an ex’ten
sivc patronage to the consideration of a generous
public.
