Indeed, ver 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 effeotual Cathartic were more freely used No person can feel well whilea costive habit of body prevails; besides it soen generates serious and often fatal diseases, which might have been avoided by the timely and judicous use of a good purgative. This is alike true of Colds, Feverisb symptoms, and Bilious derangemexts. They all tend to become or produce the deep seated and formidable distempers which load the hearses ali overthejand. Hencea reliable family physic is ef the first importance to the public health, and this Pill has been perfected with consummate skillto meet thatdemand. An extensive trial of its virtue; by Physicians, Professors, and Pa- Uents, has showo results surpassing any thing hitherto known of any medicine. Cures hrve been eff.cted beyond belief, were they not sub- stantiated by persons cf such exalted positions and character as to forbid the suspicion of un- truth. Among the eminent gentlemen who have testi- fled in favor of there Pills, we may mention: Doct. A. A. HAYES, Analytical Chemist of Boston, and State Assayer of Massachusetts, whose high Professional character is endorsed by the Hon EDWARD EVERETT, Senator of the United States ROBERT C. WINTHROP, Ex-Speaker of the House of Representatives ABBOTT LAWKENCE, Minister Plen., to England tJOHN B. FITZPARICK, Catholic Bisbop of Boston; also Dr. J. R. CHILTON, Practical Chemist of New York City, endorsed by Hon. W.L_ MARCY, Secretary of State. WM. B_ ASTOR, the richest man in America. $ LELAND & Co., Proprietors of the Metro- politan Hotel. and others. These Pills, the result of long investigetion and study, are offered to the public asthe best and most complete which the present state of medical sciencecan afford. They 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 results. This system of composition for medicines has been found in Cherry Pectora!and Pills both, to produce a more efficient remedy than hed hitherto been obtained by aay, process The reason is perfectly obvious ‘While by the oid mode of composition, every medicine is bur- dened with more cr less’&crimcnious and ivjuri- ous qualities, by this each individual virtue only that !s des:red for the curative effect is present Ail the inert and obnoxtous qualities of eacheub stance employed are Jeft bebind, the curative virtues ouly being retained. Hence it is self evi- dent the eifects should prove as they havepr ved, more purely remedial, and the P. lls a more Re. 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, and cther organs of the body, restoring their irregular action to health, and by correcting, wherever they exist, such de- rangerments as ars the first origin of disease.

SOMETHING WORTH KNOWING !—By using Professor Wood’s Hair Restorative, gray haircan be permanently restored to its original color. The subjoined certificate was received from Johnson & Stone, Gardner, Me , and is but one of the many instances that are daily coming to our knowledge of its wonderful effects. It is no longer Apion panpeame but a self-evident truth, as hundreds of our community can testify.—Bos- ton Herald, GanpneEr, Me, June 22, 1952. Mr. H. Dyes—Dear Sir: I have used two bot- tles of Prof. Wood’s Hair Restorative, and can truly say it is the greatest discovery of the age for restoring and changing the Hair. Before using it | was a man of seventy. My hair has now at- tained its original color. You can recommend it to the world without the least fear, as my case was one of the worst kind. Yours respectfully, DAN’L N. MURPHY CaRuyte, Ill., June 97, 1863. I have used Prof. O J. Wood's Hair Restora. ve, and have adm‘red its wonderful effect.

But candor com- 1s us to invite attention to the advertisement cf ‘rofessor Wood’s Hair Restorative.
