AYER'S PILLS,
A zw and singularly successful remedy for the
cure of all Bilious diseases - Costiveness, Indi
ection, Jaundice, Dropsy, Kheumatism, Fevers,
Hot, Humors. Nervousness, Irritability. Inflamma
tions, Headache, Pains in the Breast, Side, Back,
and imbs, Female Complaints, &r. &c. Indeed,
very few are the diseases in which a Purgative Medi
cine is not more or less required, and nuch sick
ness and suffering might be prevented, if a harm
less but effectual Cathlartic were more freely used.
No person can feel well while a costive habit of
body prevails: besides, it soon generates serious and
often fatal diseases, which might have been avoided
br the timely and judieious use of a good purrative.
This is alike true of Colds, Feverish symptoms, and
Bilious derangements. They all tend to become or
preduce the deep seated and formidable distempers
which load te hearses all orer the land. Hence a
reliable family physic is of the first importance to
the public health, and this Pill has been perfected
with cosummate skill tasse that demand. An
of its Plyskhaus, Profes
re been effected beyond beh re the
stantiated by persons of such exalted p
character as to forbid the suspicion of unt.r'th.
Among the nany eminent gentlemen w.eo have
tes'ified in favor of these Pi !s. we may mention:
!ProL J. M. Locum, Analytical CLemist, of Cin
cirati. whose high professional character is en
.rsed by
JosN McLEAw, Judge of the Supreme Court of
the United States.
Txos. Comtwx [, Secretary of the Treasury.
Hon. J. M. Wulour. kovirnor of Indiana.
N. Loxowourn, great wine grower of the West
Also, Du. J. It. CHILTON, Practical Chemist, of
New York City, endorsed by
Hom. IV. L. Macy. Secretary of State.
Wx. B. AsTOR. the richest man in America,
S. LIANn & Co., Propr's of the letropditan
Hotel, and many others.
Did space penrmit. we could give many hundred
eertiflcates, from all parts where the Pills have'
been used, but evidence even more convincing than
the experience of eminent public men is fead in
their effcts upon trial.
These Pills, the result of long investigation and
study, are offered to the public as the best and
most complete which the present state of medical
science can afford. They a- oempounded not of
the drane themselves, but o. .b medicinal virtues
only f Vegetable remedies, extracted by chemical
process in a state of purity, and combined together
m such a manner 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
wore efdiicent remedy than had hitherto been ob
tained by any process. The reason is perfectly ob
vioas. Wh ile by the old mode of c: mposition, every
medicine is burdened with more or less of acn
monious and injurious qualities, by this each indi
vidual virtue only that is desired for the curative
effect is present. AUll the inert and obnoxious qual
ities of each substance employed are left behind, the
cerative virtues only being retained Hence it is
self-evident the effects should prove, as they have
proved, more purely remedial, and the Pills a surer,
,more powurfui antidote to disease than any other
medicineme known to the world.
As it is frequently expedient thrt my medicine
should be taken urer the sounsel of an attending
Physician, and as he could not properly judge of a
remedy without knowing its composition, I have
upplied the accurate Formulae by which both my
Pectoral and Pills are made to the whole body of
Prantiinners in the United States and British Amer
lea Provinces. If, however, there should be any
ses who has not received them, they will be
-romptly forwarded b mail to his request
Of all the Patent Medicines that are offered, how
fe would be taken if their composition was known !
Their life consists in their mystery. I have .a
e composition of my preparations is laid open
s ai men, and all who are competent to judge on
the mbjet freely acknowledge their convictions of
their intrinsic merits. The Cherry Pectal was
Pmnaonaeed by scientific men to be a wonderfpl
medicine before its effects were known. Many ea
heat Physicians have declared the same thing df
SPills, and even nmore confidently, and are will
Sto eartify that their anticipations were more
a alised by their effects upon trial.
They operate by their powerful inflence on the
nte. viscera to purify the blood sad stimulate it
.t l Ttion--remove the obstructions of
the aJ bowel.s. ver, and other ogans of the
b..'`ý, yi g their bregulu .etion m) health, and
by e icting, wherever they exist, such derange
Uts as are the Arst origin disease.

NHow "French Bradies" are Made.
We have derived no. little trousement
from the perusal of a circular issued to
liquor dealers throughout the country by
it firm in New York, in which the imf
pnortant informnation is conveyed that
they have been for nmany years "trying
to improve all kinds of spirits from grain
andi turn them into a good imitation of
French. cognac; and that, efter much
la(or and and, expeliment, they have at
last fonnd an article to answe, that pur
pose." They thus set forth the process
..f manufactory : "By distillation and
chenical operation we got at fourth.
proof an article in which the flavor is so
much coincemtrated that, by mixi a
gallon of it witlh twenty-five to fifty
Ins of American pure spirits, it gives a
good imitation of tile different imported
brands." One gallon of "an article" to
produce from twenty-five to fifty gallons
of imitation of the imported brands ; to
L'e bottled, labelled, net forth and swal
slowed at one dime per pony glass, as an
article such as 'you 'Clnnot get elsewhere
in town." This article is called spirit of
co' gnac, anil, according to tile circular,
'Imay be had without color, or colored
for pale or dark." 'Dark, by all means;"
'"I pr.fer pale." "You can take which
you peasne, gentlemen ; but you are now
aware of the manner in which both are
prepared."
This enterprising firm have also dis
covered an article which they call spirit
of gint. Thiey aver ttat a splendid imni
tation of Holland gin can be produced
by nmixingp one gallon of the spirits with
forty gallons of pure spirits. In addition,
they have constantly on hand a fine
supply of "chemical coloring," by which
the "dark" article of imitation brandy is
produced. 4
The circular closes with a list of prces
which, if published, would astonish
our citizens, many of whom, when im
bibing these "imitations," which cost
about sixty cents per gallon, are inform
ed that "Lhat brandy cost me $8 in New
York."
With this information in their posses
sion we should not wonder if henceforth
there was a decided decline of confidence
amonga brandy drinkersaw well as among
the imbibers of the less pretentious li
quors, gin and rumn.

Indians of the folly of their supers'itiln,
