Breathing in murmured music their glad hymn; The Nereids come from thelr di ing for a space the sadden The Dryads, from the dusky solitudes Of venerable and majestic woods ; The Naiads from the beach-embowered lakes, The Oreads from where hoarse thunder shakes The iron mountains; wandering through cool lades, And Einsbing lawns when first the darknees fades Before the coming dawn, day’s crimson tints are gone, In glade haste all, ‘Their lovers to enwreathe withal, Gather the fresh-blown flowers, cool with the breath of dawn.

Indeed, very few are the diseases which a purgative medicine is not more or less required, and much sickness and suffering might be prevented if a harmless but effectual Cathartic were more freely used No person can feel well whilea costive habit of body prevails; besides it scon generates serious and which might have been avoided by the timely and judicous use of a good purgative. This is alike true of Colds, Feveiisb symptoms, and Bilious derangements. They all tend to become or produce the deep seated and formidab‘e distempers which load the hearses all overtheland. Henceareliable family physic is of the first importance to the public health, and this Pill has been perfected with consummate skill to meet thatdemand. An extensive trial of its virtues by Physicians, Professors, and Pa- tients, has showa results surpassing any thing hitherto known of any medicine. Cures hrve been effected beyond belief, were they not sub- stantiated by persons of such exalted positions Seer as to forbid the suspicion of un- truth. Among the eminent gentlemen who have testi- fied in favor of these Pilis, we may mention: Doct. A. A. HAYES, Analytical Chemist of Boston, and State Assayer of Massachusetts, hepa high Professional character 1s endorsed by the Hon EDWARD EVERBTT, Senator of the United States ROBERT C. WINTHROP, Ex-Speaker of the House of Representatives ABBOTT LAWRENCE, Minister Plen., to England + JOHN B. FITZPARICK, Catholic Bishop of Boston; also Dr. J.R. CHILTON, Practical Chemist o: New York City, endorsed by Hon. W.L MARCY, Secretary of Sfate Wal. B. ASTOR, the richest man in America 8 LELAND & Co., Proprietors of the Metro- politan Hotel, and others . These Pills, the result of long investigation and study, are offered to the public asthe best and most complete which the present stale of medical science can afford. ‘ney are compounded not of the drugs themselves, but of the medicinal virtues only of Vegetable remedies extracted by Chemical process in a state of purity, and com bined together in such a manner as to insure the best resulte. This system of composition for medicines has been found In Cherry Pectoraiand Pills both, to produce a more efficient remedy than had hitherto been obtained by any process The reason is perfectly obvious whe by the old mode of composition, every medicine is bur- dened with more or less acrimonious and injuri- ous qualities, by this each individual virtue only that is des'red for the curative etfect is present All the inert and obnoxious qualities of each sub stance employed are left lebind, the curative virtues only being retained. Hence it 1s self evi dent the effects should prove as they ha-epr ved, more purely remedial, and the Pills a more pow- erful antidote ‘o disease thad any other medicine keown to the world. They operate by their powerful influence on the internal viscera to purify the blood and stimulate it into healthy action—remove the obstructions of the stomach, bowels, liver, aud other organs of the body, restoring their irreyuiar action to health, and by correcting, wherever they exist, such de- rangements as are the first origin of disease.
