HIS EXCELLENT MEDICINE, WHICH has attained a high reputation and been ex- tensively used in Boston and other cities of the East, bas been received and is now offered for saleby Z D GILMAN, special agent, 350 Penn- sylvania avenue, as alxo b' he poocee! agent, cor- ner of L. and 3d streets, Navy Yard. The proofs of its efficacy are so numerous, so well authenticated, and of such peculiar charac- ter, that sufferers cannot reasonably hesitate to re- ceive the proffered aid. The Peruvian Syrup does not profess to be a cure-all, but its range is extensive, because many diseases, apparentiy unlike, are intimately re- lated, and, proceeding from one cause, may be cured by one remedy The class of diseases for which the Syrup pro- vides a cure, is precisely that which has so often baffled the highest order of medical skill. The facts are tangible, the witnesses accessible, and oo and efficacy of the Syrup Incontrovert- 1 have analyzed the medical preparation called the Peruvian Syrup, with reference to the number and kind of active substances contained in it, and the durability of the compound asa pharmaceuti cal erticle. The metallic compounds of arsenic, antimony, mercury and zine are not present. nor is it possible to detect in it the slightest indica- tion of any metallic and mineral poison —_{t« or- ganic constituents do not include opium, or any of the drugs yielding poisonous Principles The constituemts, when separated, are not even acrid tothe taste. Itisa preparation sPtentifically and skilfully compounded, po-sessing all the durabil- ity of a spirituous tincture, without its objection uble qualities and tas activity of its leading con- stituent is preserved through tae judicious adap- tation of its solvent.

FOR ALL PRE PURPOSES OF A FAMILY PHYSIC, HERE HAS LONG EXISTED A PUBLIC demand for an effective Purgative Pill which could be relied on as sure and perfectly safe in its operation. This has been prepared to meet that demand, and an extensive trial of its virtues has conclusively shown with what success it accom- plishes the put — It is easy to make aphysical Pili, but not to make the best of al Pills—one which should have none of the objections, but all the advantages of evel This has been attempted here, =nd with what suc- cess we would respectfully submit to the public decision. It has been unfortunate for the patient hitherto that almost every purgative icine is acrimonious and ir.itating tothe bowels. This isnot. Many of them produce so much griping pain and revuision in the system as to more than counterbalance the good to be derived from them. These Pills produce no irritation or pain, unless it arises from a previonsly existing obstruction or derangementinthebowels Being purely vege- table, no harm can ariee from their use in an quantity; but itis better than any medicine shoul be taken judiciously. Minute directions for thetr use in the several diseases to which they are ap plicable are given on the box. Among the com- plaints which have been speedily cured by them ‘we may mention Liver Complaint, in its various forms of Jaundice, Indigestion, a and Loss of Appetite, Listicssness, Irritability, B lious Headache, Bilions Fever, Fever and A, ie, Pain inthe Side and Loins, for in truth, all these are but the consequence of diseased action of the liver. As anaperient, they afford prompt and sure relief in Costiveness, Piles, Colic, Dysentery, Humors, Scrofula and Scurvy, Colds, with sore- ness of the bedy, Ulcers and impurity of the blood ; in short any and every case where a purga tive is required They bave also produced some singularly suc- cessful cures in R heumatism. pee toa ge Arcee? el, Erysipelas, bet mpmeeryr of the Heart, Pains in the Back, Stomach and Side. They shovid be freely taken in the spring of the , to purify the blood and prepare the system for the change of seasons. An occasional dose stimulates the stomach into hea! thy action, and restores the appe- tite and yigor. ey pul the blood, by their stimulant action on the circul: system, renovate the strength of the ey and restore the wasted or dise: energies of the whole organ ism. Hence an occasional dose is advantageous even though no serious derangement exists; but unnecessary dosing should never be carried too far, as every purgative medicine rednees the strength, when taken toexceas. The thousand cases in which a physic is required cannotbeenu- merated here. but they suggest themselves to the reason of every body; and it Is confidently be lieved this pili will answer a better purpose than anything which has hitherto been available to mankin When their virtues are once known the uuiblic will no longer doubt what remedy to em) ~ when in need of a cathartic medieine.
