Let those who are in favor with their stars, Of pubiic honor and proud tities boast, Wohilist I, whem fortune of such triamph bars, Uniook’d for joy in that I honor most. Great princes’ faverites their fair 1eaves spread, But as the marigoid in the sun’s eye; And in themselves their pride lies ‘buried, For at a frown they in ther glory aie. The painful warrior famoused for fight, Aftera thousand victories once foiled, Is from the boos of honor razed quite, And all the rest forgot for which he toiled : Then happy I, that love and am belov’d, Where I may not remove, nor be remov’d [Shakspeare.

AYER’S PILLS A NEW AND SINGULARLY SUCCESS ful remedy for the eure of all bilious dis eases—Costiveness, Indigestion, Jaundice, Drep- sy, Rheumatism, Fevers, Gout, Nervousness, ~ estate Irritability, Inflammations, Headache, Pains, in the Breast, Side, Back, and Limbs, Female Complaints, &c.,&c. 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 of body Prevails; besides it soon generates serious and often fital diseases, which might have been avoided by the timel and judicons use of a good purgative. This is alike true of Colds, Fevesish symptoms, and Bilious derangements. They all tend to become or produce the deep seated and formidable distempers which load the hearses all overthe land. Henceareliable family physic is of the first importance to the public health, and this Pill has en perfected with consummate skilito meet thatdemand. An extensive trial of its virtues by Physicians, Professors, and Pa- tients, has shown results surpassing any thing hitherto known of any medicine. Cures herve been effected beyond belief, were they not sub- stantiated by persons of such exalted positions and character as to forbid the suspicion of un- truth. Among the eminent gentlemen who have testi- fled in favor of these 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 LAWRENCE, Minister Plen., to Evgland tJOHN B. FITAPARICK, Catholic Biskop of Boston; also Dr. J. R. CHILTON, Practical Chemist of New York City, endorsed by Hon. W.L MARCY, Secretary of Siate. WM. 8B. ASTOR, the richest man in America 8. LELAND & Co., Proprietors of the Netro- politan Hotel, and others. These Pills, the result of lo! investigation and study, are offered tothe public asthe best and most complete which the present state of inedical science can efford. They arecompounded 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 Pectoraland Pills both, to produce a more efficient remedy than had hitherto been obtained by sot process ‘The reason is perfectly obvious. While by the old mode of composition, every medicine ts bur- dened with more or less acrimonious and injuri- ous qualities, by this each individual virtue only that is desired for the curative effect is present. Ali the inert and obnoxious qualities of each sub stance employed are left bebind, the curative virtues only being retained. Hence it is self evi- dent the effects should prove as they have proved, more purely remedial, and the Pills a more pow- erful antidote ro 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 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.

What it has done, we have witnessed wu: sev- eral of ouracquaintences in St. Louis. Hair once gray met our view, black or brown as the case might be, being the color of early manhood; and ac ihsend glossy as silk, and that without any other application than the Restorative.
