Important to Merchants, ■VTTEhave been informed that the usual practice ofMer- V V chants, Farmers and Planters, in ordering their sup plies of our I)r. McLANE’S C'elebrated VERMIFUGE, has been simply to write or order Vermifuge. The conse quence is, that instead of the genuine Dr. McLANE’S Ver mifuge, they very frequently get one or the other of the many worthless preparations called Vermifuge, now be fore the public. We therefore beg leave to urge upon the Blanter the propriety aud importance of invariably wri ng the name in full, and to advise their factors or agents that thev will not rcdeive any other than the genuine Dr. McLaneis Celebrated Vermifuge, prepared by Fleming Brothers, Pittsburgh, Pa. We would also advise the same precaution in ordering DH. McLANE’S Celebrated laiver Pills. > FOR THE CURE OF HEPTATIS OR LIVER COMPLAINT, In offering to the public DU. McLANE’S CELEBRATED LIVER PILL, as a remedy for Liver and Billions Com plaintSy we presume no apology will be needed. The great prevalence of Liver Complaint and Billions diseases of all Kinds, throughout the United States, and peculiarly in the West and South, where, in the majority of cases, the patient is not within the reach of a regular physician, rc quires’that some remedy should .be provided, that would notin the least impair the constitution,, and yet he safe and effectual. That such is the true character of McLanh’s Liver Pills, there can be no doubt. The testimony we lay before you, nnd the great success that has invariably attended their use, will, we think, be sufficient to convince the most incredulous. It has been our sincere wish that these Pills should be fairly and fully tested, and stand or fall by the effects produced. That they have been so test ed, and that the result lias been in every respect favora ble, we call thousands to witness who have experienced their beneficial effects. Dr. McLank’s Liver Pills are not held forth or recom mended (like most of the popular medicines of the day,) as universal cure-alls, but simply for Liver Complaints, and those symptoms connected with a deranged state of that organ. DISEASES OF THE LIVER. The Liver is much more frequently the seat of disease than is generally supposed. The function it is designed to perform, and on the regular execution of which de pends not only the general health of the body, but the powers of the stomach, bowels, brains, and the whole ner vous system, shows its vast and vital importance to human health. When the Liver is seriously diseased, it in fact not only deranges the vital function# of the body , but exer cises a powerful influence over the mind and its operations which cannot be easily described. It has so close a con nection with other diseases, and nianitests itself by so great a variety of symptoms, of a most doubtful charac ter, that it misleads more physicians, even of great emi nence than any other vital organ. The intimate connec tion which exists between the liver and the brain, and the great dominion which I am pursuaded it exercises over the passions of mankind, convinces me that many unfor tunate beings have committed acts of deep and criminal atrocity, orlbecome what fools term hvpocondriacs, from the single fact of a diseased state of the Liver. I have long been convinced that more than one-half of the com plaints which occur in this country, are to be considered PREPARED ONLY BY FLEMINGr BROS., Pittsburgh., Pa.

The gr-nt popularity of these Pills, as a specific or cure for Liver Complaint, and all the billiolts derangements so prevalent in the South ajid South West, has induced the vendors o many worthless nostrums, to claim for their preparations similar medicinal virtues. Be not deceived! Dr. Mc- LANE’S Celebrated LIVER PILLS are the original and onlv reliable remedy for Liver Complaints that has yet boen discovered, and we urge the planter and merchant, as he values his own, and the health of those depending on him, to be careful in ordering. Take neither Vermi fuge nor Liver Pills, unless you are sure you are getting the genuine Dr. McLANE’S, prepared by FLEMING BROTHERS, Pittsburgh, Pa. DYSPEPSIA AND SLR HEADACHc. as having their seat in a diseased state of the liver. I will enumerate some of them. Indigestion, Stoppage of the Menses, Deranged state of the Bowels, Irritable and Vin dictive Feelings and Passions, from trifling and inade quate causes of which we afterwards feel ashamed ; last, though not least, more than three-fourths of the diseases enumerated unffer the head of Consumption, have their seat in a diseased liver. This is truly a frightful catalogue. Symptoms of a Diseased Liver. —Pain in the right side, under the edge of the ribs, increasing on pressure; some times the pain is in the left side; the patient is rarely able to lie on the left side; sometimes the pain is felt under the shoulder-blade, and it frequently extends to the top of the shoulder, and is sometimes mistaken for Rheuma tism in the arm. The stomach is affected with loss of ap petite and sickness; the bowels in general are costive, sometimes alternating with lax ; the head is troubled with pain, accompanied wßh a dull, heavy sensation in the back part. There is generally a considerable loss of memory, accompanied with a painful sensation of having left un done something which ought to have been done.. A slight dry cough is sometimes an attendant. The patient com plains oi weariness and debility; be is easily startled; his feet are cold or burning, and he complains of a prickly sensation of the skin; his spirits are low, and although he is satisfied that exercise would be beneficial to him, yet he can scarcely summon up fortitude enough to try it. In fact, he distrusts eveiy remedy. Several of the above symptoms attend the disease; but cases have occurred when few of them existed, yet examination of the body, after death, has shown the Liver to have been extensively deranged. Ague and Fever.—Dr. McLane’s Liver Pills in cases of Ague and Fever, when taken with Quinine, are pro ductive of the most happy results. No better cathartic can be used preparatory to, or after taking Quinine. We would advise all who are afflicted with this disease to give them a fair trial. Directions. —Take two or three pills going to bed,ev ery second or third night. If they do not purge two or three times by next morning, take one or two more; but a slight breakfast should invariably follow their use. The Liver Pills may be used where purging simply is necessary As an anti billions purgative, they are inferior to none,and in doses of two or three, they give astonishing relief in Sick Headache ; also, in slight derangements of the Sto mach.
