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 bat effectual Cathartic were more freely used No person can feel well whilea costive habit cf body prevails; besides it soen erates 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 derangements. They all tend to become or produce the deep seated and formidable distempers which load the bearses a!) overtheiand. Hencea reliable family physic is of the first importance to the public health, and this Pill has nm perfected with consummate skillto meet thatdemand. An extensive triel of its virtu led Physicians, Professors, and Pa- tients, has shown resulis surpassing any thing hitherto known of any medicine. Cures brve been effected beyond belief, were they not sub- stantiated by persons cf euch exalted positious and oe as to forbid the suspicion of un- truth.

SOMETHING WORTH ENOWING !—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 dally coming to our knowledge of its wonderful effects. It is no longer problematical, but a self evident truth, as hund 8 of our community can testify.—Bos- ton Herald. Ganvner, Me, June 22, 1862. Mx. H. Dres—Deer Sir: I have used two bot- tles of Prof. Wood’s Hair Restorative, and can truly si t is the greatest discovery of the age for restoring and changing the Hair. Before using it I was a man of seventy. My hair has now at- tained its original color. You can recomunend it to the world without the least fear, as my case was one of the worst kind Yours respectfully, DAN’L N. MURPHY CaRLYLx, Iil., June 27, 1853. I have used Prof. O J. Wood’s Hair Restora- tive, and have admired its wonderful effect. My hair was becoming, as | thought, prematurely gray; but by the use of the ‘‘ Restorative’’ it has resumed its original color, and, I have no doubt, permancntly so. SIDNEY BREESE, Ex-Senator United States. HAIR RESTORATIVE.—1a our columns to- day will be found Prof. Wood’s advertisement of the above article, to which we call attention. What it has done, we have witnessed upon sev- eral of our acquaintances in 8t. Louls. Hair once gtay met our view, black or brown as the case might be, being the color of early manhood ; and as and glossy as silk, and t without any other application than the Restorative. If it has done this upon others, will it not do the seme for any of our readers whose ‘‘frosty prows’’ were once like the ‘‘ raven locks’’ of Lothiel’s warlike chief, if they will it. We think so.—Jackson ville Constitutional, Oct. 5, 1853. THE GREATEST DISCOVERY OF THE AGE.—It seldom occurs that we notice, under any ¢eireumstances, patent medicines, restora tives, or anything of the kind, for we have a pre- Judice against most of them. But candor com- ae usto invite attention to the advertisement of rofessor WW ood’s Hair Restorative. We are too juvenile to require anything of the kind, butsome instances of use have come to our knowledge which almost assures us that it is a soverel; remedy ae. the hair becoming rarely gray.
