AYER'S PILLS,
sew and singularly successful remedy for the
cre of all Bilious diseases - Costiveness, Inci
;nton. Jaundice, Dropsy, Rhenmatism, Fevers,
,,; Hmiiors. Neriousness. Irritability, Inflsnmna
us. Headache, Pains in the Breast, Side, Back,
~ri limbs, Female Complaints, &c. &c. Indeed,
rv few are the diselses in which a Purgative edi- d
e: not more q less required, and rmnch sick- d
r:ond suffering might be prevented, if a harm
it elfectual Cathartic were more freely used.
p-ron can feel well while a costive habit of V
prevails; besides, it soon generates serious and i
ra.n fatal diseases, which might have been avoided
rl .,.e timely and judicious use of a good purgative.
aiis is alike true of Colds, Feverish symptoms, and d
iilious derangements. They all tend to becosme or
'reduce the deep and formidable distempers
which load the ov er the laud. Hence a
reliable family ytg si Is f the frst importance t
the public hen{, and this Pill h be~ perfected
with eoanqiato skill to meet that demand. An
extensive tial'of its virtues by P.iyi aus, Profes
sorsn, and Patients, }as shown Ipwi.ts Surpassimg
any thing hitherto kqsn of any medicua. Cures
have been effected beyond belief, were they not quit
stantiated by persons of such exalted position and
cdaracter as to forbid the suspicion of untruth.
Among the many eminent gilenetlc n who have
twtifed inin favor of these Pills, we smay mention :
Prof. J. M. L CKE, Analytical Chemist, of Cin
cima;ti, wki~P high professional character is en
dried by
Jais ~lMcLwsa, J4 q f the supreme Court of
the Y'itcd States.
THOs. Coawni, the Treasury.
Ilon. J. M. W of Indiana.
N. LoxowoaT, of the West
Ale, Da. J. I. , Pratical Chemist, of
New York City, end,. by
Hos. 1W. L. MAL CY, Secretary of State.
WVx. B. Asto,a the richest mans in America.
S. lsrean & Co., Propr's of the Metropolitan
Hotel. and many others.
Did space permit, we could give many hundred
ertifieates, from all parts where the Pills have
been umed, but evidence even more convincing than
tLe experience of eminent public men is found in
their effects upon trial.
These Pills, the result of long investigation and
study, are offered to the public as the best and
msot complete which the present state of medical
science can afford. They a - nmpoun4e4 not of
the drugs themselves, bpt b .aee medicinal virtues
oIly of Vegetable remedies, extracted by chemical
process hi a state of purity, and combined together
in such a nmauner as to insure the best results. This
system of composition for medicines has been found
in the Cherry Pectoral and Pills both, to produce a
more efficient remedy than had hitherto been ob
tained by any process. The reason is perfectly ob
Vious. While by the old mode of n-mposition, eyery
medicine is burdened with more or less of ari
monious and injurious qualities, by this each indi
viadual virtue only that as desired for the curative
effect is present. All the inert and obpoxious qu_
ities of each substance employed areleft hbina; he
Curative virtues only being etained. Hence it is
self-evideat the effects should prove, as they have
proved, more pmrely rmedial, and the Pills a surer,
more pwerful antidote to disease than any other
medicine known to the world.
As it s freuently expedient thet my s1pedia
shaldbe taken under the ounsel of an attending
Physician, and as he could not properly judge of a
remedy without knowing its composition, I have
supplied the accurate Formulae by which both my
Pectoral and Pills are made to the whole body of
Practitioners in the United States and British Amer
lean Provinces. If, however, there should be any
one who has not received them, they will be
promptly forwarded by mail to his request
Of all the Patent Medicines that are offered, how
few would be taken if their composition was known !
Their life consists in their mystery. I have no
at steries.
The composition of my preparations is laid ope
to all men, and all who are compuetent to judge Pq
the subject freely acknowledge tfmeir convictions
.their intrinsic merits. The Cherry Peceoral was
prouounced by scientific men to be a wonderful
medicine before its effects were known. Many em
ment Phyis haes declared the same thing of
my Pills, ditvi tiore confitently,; and are will
5g to certify that their anticipations srpre more
hn badlized by their effects upon trial.
SThey operate by their powe~i.l influence on the
internal era to purify the bipo4 and tlimulate i
mto healthy action-remove the obstructions of
the stomaSi, bowels, liver, and oiher ptgs of the
ody, retoring their irregular action to health, sad
bY cbrrecthg, wherever they exist, such derange
tuevs as aFe the first origin ofdisease.
Being saar-wrapped, they are pleasant to take,
and being purely vegeta no hart can aris from
their use in any quantity,
For minute diections, ee wrapper on the _-5.

He regained the shore before it was

along the shore, a hollow trunk of a tree
standing upright, with a hole at the top,
he got into it, and that tree actually t
was his place of concealment for six
months. He could see through a chink
in the tree, when the Moulmoin men
went abroad, and managed to get cocoa
nuts when he knew they were not about.
The kernel was his food, and water or
milk his drink. At last he found his
enemies had gone, t nd venturing abroad
and going round the Island, he perceived
that they had taken both boats with
them.
He declares that one night he dream
ed that in# certain part of the Island
there was lying a sulall boat, pand on pro
ceeding the iext morping to the spot be

the M.an gave his evidence in a calm
manper to the magistrate here, Dr. Mar
tin, anf had told the same story exactly
to the captain of the Chinese junk, as
soon ms he camp to himself, after beintg
taken on board, for he was at first too
agitated to say.anything. To continue
the strange narrative, our Robinsdn
Crusoe remembered that one of his com
rades had broken the blade of his knife
in opening a cocoa uit, and had thrown
it down in a particular spot. He1found
t he knife on the ground among the grass,
and though the blrade was broken, mhin
it aged to cut a iudder and a mast. These
I he attached to the little boat, and taking
a supply of cocoa nuts with him, started
for Tavoy, being guided by the sun by
day and the stars by night. He was
proceeding on his course when he was
picked up ly the junk.
The truth of the man's story was
't partly confirmed in court, for one of the
e native officials codnected therewith told
st the magistrate that his wife, who: had
1 lately returned from Moulmein, had men
sioned to him that the wife of the per
on whom our Rolisoi Crusoe had
named as the head of the Motulmein crew,
had lately cople out in very costly gar
mlents, and that her daughters were also
very richlly dressed, and that it was gen
erally known that the man had made
lately tl very successful expedition to one
of thel 'reparis Islands, and had brought
back a rich boat load of cocoa nuts.
Itobiuson Crusoe has been sent to Moul

he knpws by name as well as by ap
pearapse. Conceive their horror and
amazement when they are confronted
with the man they must have long ago

TiH FPEnKYMANh.--A new work with the
title of the "American Pulpit," tells the
tfllowing anecdote concerning an eccen
tric old Methodist minister in Illinois,
well known as Peter Cartwright, who
not only preached the gospel, but lectured
quite otten on political matters, and spoke
has mind Ieelv upon men and measures.
It resulted of course, that the politicians r
became very angry at the minister, and
had much to say " about ministers not i
dlabbllig mi politics, sticking to their
calling," &c., &c. It hapened that on ,
one occasion he rode to a terry across
the Illinois river, where the country was 1
more thickly populated, gnd met a little
knot of people a ho were discussing poli- t
tics. The ferryman, a stout fellow, was I
holding forth in excited terms about
old renegade-prefixed a good many ex S
pletives to his name, which we omit
one Peter Cartwright-swearing that if
he ever came that way, he would drown
him in the river.
Cartwright, unrecognixed by any one r
said:
"Strsnger, I want you to put me
across."
"You'll wait till I'm ready," said the
ferryiman. So when he had finished his c
speech, he added. "Now I will put you I
over."
Cartwright rode his horse into the boat l
and the ferryman began to pole it across.

shire Patriot, and ponder well upon it.
It was provoked by an assertion made
e in a Northern religious journal, tUht
e Mr. Buchanan was in favor of the "' ex
tension of slavery:'
"What a deliberate, wilful, nmonstrous
falsehood is here pjesepted to deceive
and nmi.-lead the unsuspecting childremn
of the land ! Here are professed chris
tian ministers deliberately uttering the
infamous lie that James Buchanan "will

port the institution, is rneanly denounced
as a slavery propagandist !-Truly this
is a depth of meanness and mendiacitv
and moral depravity which was never
reached even in politics until these " po.
litical priests " entered the field. Every
intelligent man knows that neither Mdr.
Buchanan nor the Democrat, party
favors the extension of slavery. As the
Belfast Journal well says, "both the
history and principles of the Democratic
party afford a triumphant refutation of
this malicious charge." None know this
better than those who make it. The re
cluse who thinks it, thinks a lie. The
stump orator yho speaks it, speaks a lie.
The editor whp publishes it, publishes 4
lie. The clergyman who preaches it,
preaches a lie; prayr a lie. All such
may well claim direct lineage from a
noted character often alluded to in the
sacred scripture and, properly character
ized as the father of liars."
