Dll. DYOTT’S ANTI-BILIOUS PILLS
.1 family inodicin©, a mild and gentle j
purgative and a purifier of tiic blood. The gen- I
oral use ol these celebrated Pills throughout the j
United States, for these forty years past, and the
strong root* n ncnd.itioas they have acquired from
all class s of our fellow citizen*, plac-s them in a I
much more elevated situation in publis estimation, |
than uiy other remedy which lias heretofore been
introduced.
The following are among tiie many diseases for
which Dr. Dyolt’s celebrated Pills arc so deserved
ly distinguished for curing. by their counteract-i
iug properties in rein ivingthe bile from the stom
ach ‘they prevent an i cure the bilious lever ; chill
or ague and fever ; spring an l fall levers; yellow
fever ; hi lions eh*>1 io ; nlcuri jy ; dysentery ; wot ms ;
bilious vomiting , sick and foul stomach".
by cleaning the bowels and stomach from all im
purities, they restore th- lo ;s of appetite, remove flat •
ulen-.y, cure the bci laebe, habitual c.t>.stiveness,
colds, coughs, astbin i. epeliptic. lit s, hypochondria,
hysterical complaints, stransguary, gravel, ftc.
by a general and copious use they will be found
very beneficial in curing the rheumatism and gout,
lumbago or pains in the. back. All impurities in
tli- blood yield to their happy effects, whether pro
ceeding from constitutional ailment or from indis
creel intemperance.
These celebrated pills havn been used to very
great advantage in ruling the dyspepsia or indi
gestion, bronchitis, liver complaint , &<•.
They arc an infallible medicine for Female Com- '
plaints generally, and especially for removing those :
obstructions which are the source of their ailments j
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 loo copious use j
of ardent spirits or from a vitiated state of the bile,
th-se 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
exercise can be used. They will be found particu
larly valuable for preventing diseases incidental to
hot climates, they deterge and cleanse vicid hu
mors, open obstructions, and promote the secretion
of good bile, op-rate, as an easy cathartic as a pow
erful diuretic, and as a diaphoretic.
Dr. Dvott, 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 as 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 Pills.
Take notice—each box is sealed with red wax,
stamped with the proprietor’s i o.it of arms, and
signed 'l'- W. DVOTT, AT. I)., and

of the sick.—Medicine, however efficacious, basal
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 l)r
Smith to accomplish. Having given the subject his
unremitting attention for nearly two years, he has,
nfter 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

CBRINCKERIIOFF’S HEALTH RE
• STORATIVE.—This medicine is a safe and
certain cure in complaints of the Liver anil Lungs.
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 lie had made a careful analysis. It is wholly
devoid of any irritating property, and manifests so
decided healing and pur ifyin g quali ties as to quick
ly alleviate the most aggravatingcough and change
the morbid expectoration. Pains in the chest arid
side, so often attendant on Lung Complaints, are
effectually removed wit houf the least i n con veil icncc,
t hcflcfi toft he difficult y bcin it reached m uch quicker
than any external application. From the reputa
tion of tins 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 —
I he fact of no one single instanceof dissatisfaction
known or expressed, is a strong guarantee of its
merit The following certificate is from Dr. Chil
ton, the well known New-York chemist.
“ 1 have analyzed a bottle of medicine called ‘C
BrnickerhofPs 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.”

where the I Hood is powerfully determined towards the

superior, to any other; and especi lly to those subject |
to Piles, il will prove an invaluable Physic, as it operates j
without irritation, which is not tlio case with most of tlie
purgatives now in use, particularly Powders or Pills

\TTAG STAFF'S HISTORY OF THE
’ • QUAKERS.— A History of the society of I
Friend*?, compiled from i's standard records.'and
other authentic sources, by \V. ft. Wagstaff, M L>.
One hatidtsoinn volume, S vo £;2 O').
“ This seems to us to be a work of decided value
■ml of greatest interest, not only to professedly
theologies I students, but to all who wish to a< -
quaint themselves with the progress of peculiar
principles, or the growth of the peculiar sects. In
this excellent work he has given very full and very
interesting biographical sketches of nil the men
who were active in establistdng, or who have made
illustrious the character and history of the Society.
I'he work exhibits a close acquaintance with bin
subject, and a careful industry in examining au
thentic. records concerning it, and is written in a
-t vie which must attract and reward attention.”_
X. I”. Courier.
“ This book is one that was much needed ; and it
will do good. The introduction is n very p>wspic
nous hi-tory of Christianity print to the time of
George Fox ; and it brings down the history of the
Society ol Friends in England 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.”— Philatl.
Inquirer.
“ It is something singular, that almost every wri
ter belonging to the S "ciely of Friends i« remarka
ble for verhosi'y, 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. Hr. Wagstaff has judiciously departed from
the established rule, ami given us valuable his
torical matter written in a readable and pleasant
style.”—X. Y. Post.
“ The author has attempted to consolidate the va
rious histories of Friends, and present them in sim
ple. but approved language divested of quaintGSB
and circumlocution, and in that lie has eminently
succeeded. This volume will he found deeply in
teresting. not only *o '.lit; members of the Such ty of
Friends, hut to all readers.”—U. S. Gazette.
‘‘The 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 unadopted to general
rending, cither from their quaintness or their ver
bosity of style. To this he has consulted the stand
ard historians and primitive members ot the Socie
ty, ami has produced a work which will no doubt
find favor with the public- The present volume
comnr ences with the year 1336, 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 in America.”—
Balt. Am
“The work of Dr. Wagstaff con'ains the most
satisfactory and interesting exposition of the rise
and progress of the Society of Friends, and of the
doctrines which they hold, that we have ever read.
'I’he 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 nmeunt
of credit, and seems to be rightly valued bv those
who have tested its merits.”—American Republican.

ures of the table, find speedy relief from the sense
of oppression and distension which follow, by ta
king the pills. As a dinner pill they are invalua
ble. Those who are drinking mineral waters, and
particularly those from Southern climates, ague
and fever districts, will find them a valuable ad
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-billinus medi
cine. They seldom or never produce sickness at
the stomach or griping.
There have been many imitations and worthless
counterfeits of these pills put in circulation by un
principled and ignorant persons—tlic directions,
wrappers, &c., of the genuine pills so closely nnd
accurately copied, that the closest observer could
not, without a trial of their effects, distinguish be
tween them.

corporations and consolidations of wealth which
subvert the rights of the people and undermine the
