The Perovian Syrup does not profess to be a ewre-ali, but its range is extensive, because many diseases, apparently 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 bds so often baffled the ae ae! order of medical skill. The facts are tangible, the witnesses accessible, and fu safety and efficacy of the Syrup incontrovert- ie. — 1 have anal the medical preparation called the Peruvion Syrup, with reference to the number and kind of active substancescontained in it,and the Seer oe the compound as a pharmaceuti cal erticle. The metallic compounds of arsenic, antimony. meronry and sinc are not present, nor is it possible to detect in it the slightest indica- tion of any metallic and mineral poison. Its or- ganic constituents do not include opium, or any of the drugs yielding poisonous principles. The constituents, when separated, are not even acrid tothe taste.

December 11, 1855, HERE HAS LONG EXISTED A PUBLIC demand for an effective Purgative Pill which could be relied on as sure and perfectly safe in ite operstion. This has been rr jared to meet that demand, and an extensive fal of tts virtues has conclusively shown with what success !t accom- plishes the pur; designed. It is easy to make a physical Bir , but not so easy to make the best of all Pills—one which should have none of the objections, but all the advantages of every other. This has been attempted here{and with what suc- cess we would respectfully submit to the public decision. It has been upfortunate for the patient hitherto that almost every purgative medicine is ecrimonious and Irritating tothe bowels. This isnot. Many of them produce so much griping pain and revulsion in the m as to more than counterbalance éhe zocd to be derived from them. These Priiis produce no irritation or pain, unless it arises from a previously existing obstruction or derangement in thcbowels Being purely vege- table, no harm can arise from their use in an quantity; but {tis better than any medicine shoul be taken judiciously. Minute directions for their 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, Languorand Loss of Appetite, Listlessness, Irritability, B lious Headache, Bilious Fever, Fever and Ague, Pain inthe Side and Loins, for in truth, all these are bnt the consequence of diseased action of the liver. As anaperient, they afford prompt and sure relief In Costiveness, Piles, Colic, tery, 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 ts required. They bave also produced some singularly suc- cessful cures in Rheumatism,Gout, Dropsy, Grav el, Erysipelas, Palpitation of the Heart, ains in the Back, Stomach and Side. They shovld be freely taken in the spring of the 7, to — the blood and prepare the system for the c' re of seasons. An occasion?! dose stimulates the stomach into vane b action, and restores the appe- tite and yigor. ey purify the blood, a by their stimulant action on the circulatory system, renovate the strength of the body, and restore the ‘wasted or putes | energies of the whole organ- ism. Hence an occasional dose {s advantageous even though no serious derangement exists; but unnecessaty dosing should never be carried too far, as every purgative medicine reduces the strength, when taken toexcess. The thousand cases In which a physic is required cannot be enn- 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 mankind When their virtues are once known the public will no longer doubt what remedy te employ when in need of a cathartic medicine. Being sugar wrapped they are pleasant to take, and being purely vegetable, no m™m can arise from their use in any quantity. For minute directions see the wrapper on the Box.
