In very few are the diseases which a purgative med'cine 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 soon erates serious and Often frtal diseases, which might have been avoided by the timely and judicoes use of a good purgative. This is alike true of Colds, Feverish symptoms, and Bilious derangemevts. They all tend to become or produce the deep seated and formidable distempers which load the hearses a!) evertheland. Henceareliable family physic is of the first importance to the public health, and this Pill has been perfected with coneummate skill to meet thatdemand. An extensive trial of its virtuet by Physicians, Professors, and Pa- tients, has shown resu urpassing any thing hitherto known of any medicine. Cures hrve been effected beyond belief, were they not sub- stantlated by persons of such exalted positions ro eee as to forbid the suspicion of un- truth. Among the eminent gentlemen who have testi- fled in favor of these Pilis. we may mention: Doct. A. A. HAYES, Analytical Chemist of Boston, and State Aseayer of Massachusetts, whose high Professional character is endorsed by th e Hon. EDWARD EVERETT, Senator of the United States ROBERT C. WINTHROP, Ex-Speaker of the House of Representatives ~ ABBUTT LAWRENCE, Minister Plen., to England + JOHN B. FITZPARICK, Catholic Bisbop of Boston; aiso Dr. J. R. CHILTON, Practical Chemist of New ¥ ork Pp endorsed b Hon. W.L_ MARCY, S+cretary of Slate WM. B. ASTOR, the richest man in America 8. 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. Tbey 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 te insure the best results. This system of composition for medicines has been found in Cherry Pectoraland Pills both, to produce a more efficient remedy than had hitherto been obtained by any process The reason is perfectly obvious. While by the old mode of composition, every medicine is bur- dened with more or less acrimonious and ipjuri- ous qualities, by this each individual virtue onl: the is desired for the curative effect is presen! All the inert and obnoxious qualities of each sub stance employed are left behind, the curative virtues only being retained. Hence it is self evi- dent the effects should prove as they hare proved, more purely remedial, and the Pills a more ak erfal antidote o disease thad any other medicine Keown to the world. They operate by their powerful influence on the internal viscera to pu the blood and stimulate it into healtby action—remove the obstructions of the stomach, bowels, liver, and other organs of the body, restoring their irregular action to health, and by correcting, wherever they exist, such de- rangements as are the first origin of disease.

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.

Drzs—Dear Sir: I have used two bot- tles ef Prof. Wood’s Hair Restorative, and can truly say !t isthe greatest discovery of the age for restoring and c! the Hair. Before usin it I was @ man of seventy. My hair has now at- tained its original color.

Wood's Hair Restora tive, and have admired its wonderful effect. My hair was becoming, as 1 thought, prematurely gray; but by the use of the ‘‘ Restorative”’ it has resumed its original color, and, I have no doubt, permanently so SIDNEY BREESE, Ex-Senator United States. I4IR RESTO RATIVE.—1aoureolumnsto- day will be found Prof. W ood’s advertisement of the above article, to which we call attention. What it has dong, we have witnessed upon sev- eral of ouracq tances in 8t. Louis. Hair once gray met our view, black or brown as the case ——_ be, being the color of early manhood ; and as Bneand gl as silk, and & without any other application than the Restorative. If it has done this upon others, will it not do the same for any of our readers whose ‘‘ frosty "? were once like the ‘‘ raven locks’? of LotMel’s warlike chief, if they willtry it. We think so.—Jackson ville Constitutional, Oct. 5, 1853. THE GREATEST DISCOVERY OF THE AGE.—It seldom occurs that we notice, under any circumstances, — medicines, restora tives, or anything of the kind, for we have a pre- judice against most of them. But candor com- oe usto invite attention to the advertisement of rofessor Wood's Hair Restorative.
