FOR ALL THE PURPOSES OF A
FA MI LY PHYSIC.
TifKliK has long existed a public demand for ai
h stive purgative pill which could be relied on at
are and perfectly safe in its operation. This hat
’>.• on prepared to meet that demand, and an exten
dvo tiial of'its virtues has conclusively shown will
» hat success it accomplishes the purpose designed
It is easy to make a physical pill, but not easy h
make the host of all pills one which should hav<
none of the objections, but all the advantages, of
every other. This has been attempted here, ant
with what success we would respectfully submit t<
the public decision. It has been unfortunate so
the patient hitherto that almost every purgativt
medicine is acrimonious and irritating to the bow
els, Thu is not. Many of them produce so muci
griping pain and revulsion in the system as to mon
than counterbalance the good to "be derived fron
them. 'These pills produce no irritation or pain
unless it arise from u previously existing obstruc
tion or derangement in the bowels. Being purelj
vegetable, no harm can arise from their use
quantity ; but if is better that anv medicine shoulc
be taken judiciously. Minute directions for thei)
use in the several diseases to which they are ap
[dicable are given on the box. Among the com
plaints which have been speedily cured by them, w<
may mention Liver Complaint, in its various fonm
as Jaundice, Indigestion, Languor and Loss of Ap
petite, Listlessness, Irritability, Bilious Headache
Bilious Fever, Fever and Ague, Pain in tlie Sid<
and Loins; for, in truth, all these are but the con
sequence of diseased action in the liver. As ai
aperient, they afford prompt and sure relief in Cos
tiveness, Piles, Colic, Dysentery, Humors, Scrof
ula and Scurvy, Colds with soreness of the body
Ulcers and impurity of the blood ; in short, anv
ind every case where a purgative is required.
They have also produced some singularly suc
cessful cures in Rheumatism, Gout, Dropsy, Gravel
Erysipelas, Palpitation of the Heart, rains in tin
Back, Stomach, and Side. They should be freelj
taken in the spring of the year, to purify the blood
and prepare trie system for the change of seasons
An occasional dose stimulates the stomach anc
bowels into healthy action, and restores the appe
' tite and vigor. They purify the blood, and, by theii
stimulant action on the circulatory system, reno
vate the strength of dje body, and restore the
wasted or diseased energies of the whole organism.
Jlence an occasional dose is advantageous, even
though no serious derangement exists; but un
necessary dosing should never be carried too fur,
as every purgative medicine reduces the strength,
when taken to excess. The thousand cases in which
a physic is required cannot be enumerated here, bill
they suggest themselves to the reason of every •
body; and it is confidently believed this pill vvili
answer a better purpose than any thing which has
hitherto been available to mankind. When theii
virtues are once known, the public will no longei
doubt what remedy to employ when in need of i
cathartic medicine. Being sugar-wrapped they as(
pleasant to take, and being purely vegetable, lit
harm can arise from their use m any quantity.

Tors remedy has won for itself such notorietv
from its cures of every- variety of pulmonary disease'
that it is entirely unnecessary to recount the evi

nas been employed. So wide is the field of its use
fulness, and so numerous the of its cures,
that almost every section of the country abounds
tu persons publicly known, who have been restored
from alarming and even desperate diseases of thf

over every other medicine of its kind is too appar

to employ for the distressing and dangerous affec

to our climate. And not duly in formidable at

of Colds, Coughs, Hoarseness, Ac. ; and foi

DR. WORSE’S INVIGORATING CORDIAL
A PHENOMENON IN MEDICINE
Health Restored and Life Lengthened
BY f -
Dr. Morse s Invigorating Elixir oi Cordial.
AT FIRST the properties attributed to Professor
Morse's Invigorating Elixir or Cordial were deem
ed fabulous. The public often deceived could not be
iieve the simple and sublime truths announced by the
discoverer. But facts, undeniable facts, attested by
witnesses of the highest class and character, are now
triumphing over all doubts Incredulity is overthrown
by a mass of testimony which is perfectly irresistible,
The Elixir remedies, in all cases, thedeplorable evils
arising from a misuse or abuse of the various organs
which make up the wonderful machine called man. It
restores to full vigor every delicate functioh connected
with that mysterious compound agency of matter and
mind, necessary to the re-production of human life.—
To persons of feeble muscular frame, or deficient in vi
tal power, it is recommended as the only means of
communicating that energy which is necessary <* the
proper employment of all the natural appetites, s well
as the higher mental attributes. Its beneficial ffeets
are not confined to either sex or to any age. The fee
ble girl, the ailing wife, th& listless, enervated yruth.
the overworn man of business, the victim of nervous
depression, the individual suffering from general debili
ty, or from the weakness of a single organ, will f*Dd inn
mediate and permanent relief from the use of this in*
comparable renovator. To those who have predispesß
tion to paralysis, it will prove a complete and urfail og
safeguard against that terrible malady. There are
many, perhaps, who have so trifled with their coDstitv
(ions, that they think themselves beyond the reach o>
medicine. Let not even these despair. The Flix’r
deals with disease as it exists, without reference c
causes, and will not only remove the disorder itsel,
RE BUILD THE BROKEN CONSTITUTION
The derangement of the system, leading to nervous
diseases, and the forms ot nervous disease itself, are so
numerous that it would require a column to enumerate
the maladies for which this preparation is a specific. >
few, however, may he enumerated, viz:—neuralgia, e
dolereaux,headache, incipient paralysis, hysteria, pal
pitation of the heart, spinal affections, muscular debili
ty. tremors, flatulency, a pricking sensation in the flesh
numbness, mental depression, weakness of the will, in
disposition to move, faintness after exercise, broken
sleep and terrifying dreams, inability to remain in one
place or position, weakness of the procreative organs,
sexual iucompetency, melancholy, monomania, fluor
albus, sinking at the stomach, female irregularities, a
ebronic .tendency to miscarriage, emaciation, and all
complaints growing out of a free indulgence of the pas
sions, and all barreness that does not proceed from or
ganic causes, beyond the reach of medicine.
Whenever the organs to be acted upon are free from
malformation or strictural diseases, it is averred that
MORSE'S INVIGORATING ELIXIR
will re-place weakness with strength, incapacity with
efficiency, irregularity with uniform and natural ac
tivity, and this not only without hazard or re-action,
but with a happy effect on the general organization.—
Bear in mind that all maladies, wherever they begin,
finish with the nervous system, and that the paraliza
tion of the nerve of motion and sensation is physical
death. Bear in mind, also, that for every kind of ner
vous disease the Elixir Cordial is tlie only reliable pre
paration know n.
CUKE OF NERVOUS DISEASES.
No language can convey an adequate idea of the im
mediate, and almost miraculous change which it occa
sions in the diseased,debilitated and shattered nervous
system, whether broken down by excess, weak by na
ture, or impaired by sickness—the unstrung or relaxed
organization is at once braced, re-vivified and built up.
The mental and physical symptoms of nervous disease
vanish together under its iutluence. Nor is the effect
temporary, on the contrary the relief is permanent—
fortlie Cordial properties of the medicine reach the
constitution itself, and restores it to its normal condi
tion: LOSS OF MEMORY,
Confusion, giddiness,rush of blood to the head, mel
ancholy, debility, histeria, wretchedness, thoughts o
self-destruction, fear of insanity, dyspepsia, genera
prostration, irritability, nervousness, inability to sleep
diseases incident to females, decay of the propagating ■
functions, vague terrors, palpita
tion of the heart, constipation, Ac., from
wbaTever cause arising.it is, if there any reliance to
be nlacod on human testimony, is absolutely infallible
A GREAT MEDICINE FOR FEMALES.
The unparalleled effects of this great restorative, in
all complaints incident to females, mark a new era in
the annals of medicine. Thousands of stimulants have
been invented —thousands of invigorants concocted —
all purporting to be specified in the variousdiseases and •
derangements, to which the delicate formation of wo
man render her liable.
EVERY WOMAN OF SENSE
who suffers from weakness, derangement, nervousness,
tremors, pains in the back, or any other disorder, whe
ther peculiar to her sex, or common in both sexes, to
give the Invigorating Cordial a trial.
MARRIED PERHON3
or others, will find this Cordial, after they have usM a
bottle or two, a thorough regenerator of the system.
In all directions are to be found the happy parents ot
healthy offspring, who would not have been so but for
this extraordinary preparation. And it is equally po
tent fer tile many diseases for which it is recommended.
Thousands of young men have been restored by using
it, and not in a single instance has it failed to benefil
them.
TO TUE MISGUIDED.
These are some of the sad and melancholy effects
produced by early habits of youth, viz: weakness of
the back and limbs, pains in the head, dimness of the
Sight, loss of muscular power, palpitation of the heart,
dyspepsia, nervous irritability, derangement of the di
gestive functions, general debility, symptoms of con
sumptioh. Ac.
Mentally, the fearful effects ou the mind are much
to be dreaded. Loss of memory, confusion of ideas,
depression of spirits, evil forebodings, aversion to so
ciety, self distrust,love of solitude, timidity, &e., ear
some of the evilspruduced. All thus afflicted,
PERSONS OF PALE COMPLEXION,
of cousmjiptive habits, are restored by the use of a
bottle or two to bloom and vigor, changing the skin
from a pole, yellow, sickly color, to u beautiful florid
complexion.
BEFORE CONTEMPLATING MARRIAGE,
should reflect that a sound mind and body are the most
necessary requisites to promote connubial happiness,
indeed, without these, the journey through life be
comes a weary pilgrimage—the prospect hourly dark
ens the view ; the mind becomes shadowed with-despair
and filled with melancholy reflection that the happi
ness of anuotherbecomesblighted with vour own

AFFLICTED RRAD!
Philadelphia medical house—Established 20
years ago by Dr. Kinkelin, corner of Third and
Union Streets, between Spruce aud Pine, Philadelphia.
Invalids are apprised that Dr. Kinkelin confines his
practice to a particular branch of medicine, which en
gages his undivided attention. He cautious the unfor
tunate against the abuse of mercury ; thousands are
annually’ mercurialized out of life. Recent affections
are promptly extinguished.
Twenty years of experience in the treatment of a
Class of diseases hitherto neglected and imperfectly un
derstood, has enabled Dr. Kinkelin, (author of a work
on Self Preservation.) to prove that nine tenths of the
causes of nervous debility, local and constitutional
weakness, mental and physical suffering, are traceable
to certain habits, forming the most secret yet deadly
and fatal springs of domestic misery and premature
mortality.
Take Particular Nottce. —There is an evil habit some
times indulged in by boys, in solitude, ofteu growing
up with them to manhood, and which, if not reformed
in due time, not only begets serious oostacles to matri
monial happiness, but gives rise to a series of protract
ted, insidious and devastating affections. Few of those
who give way to this pernicious practice are aware of
the consequences, until they find the nervous system
shattered, feel strange and unaccountable feelings, and
vague fears imihe mind.
The unfortunate tliu« affected becomes feeble, is una
ble to labor with accustomed vigor, or to apply his
mind to study ; his step is tardy and weak, ho is dull,
irresolute, and engages in his snort with less energy
than usual.
If he emancipate himself before the practice has
done its worst, and enter matrimony', his marriage is
unfruitful, and his sense tells him that this is caused by
his early follies. These are considerations which should
awakeu theattention of those similarly situated.
Marriage requires the fulfilment of several condi
tions, in order that it may be really the cause of mutu
ul happiness. Could the veil which covers the origin
of domestic wretchedness be raised, and its true source
in every instance disclosed—in how many could-it be
traced to physical disqualifications and tlmir attendant
disappointments! Apply then while it is yet time, in
order to have your unetrpng aud relaxed organization
rebraced, revivified and strengthened.
Remember, he who places himself under Dr. Kinke
lin’s treatment may religiously confide in his honor as
a geutleinan, and rely upon the assurance, that the se
crets of Dr. K.'s patients will never be disclosed.
Young man—let no false modesty deter you from
making your case known to one who, from education
and respectability, can certainly befriend you.
Two mauy think they will conceal the secret in their
own hearts, and cure tliemselyes. Alas ! how often is
this a fatal delusion, and how many a promising young

The many cures made by this pleasant and safe
remedy may induce counterfeiting.
A medicine must have merit, aud great merit too, to
stand the test of public opinion. No art of puffing can
galvanize a worthless article, so as to keep it up as a
good medicine, if it be not really so.
A good medicine will live, become popular, aud ex
tend its sales year after year, in spile of opposition
The people readily find out its virtues, and the fame of
them passes from mouth to mouth with more rapidity
than newspapers can spread it. A living witness testi

far more service than any newspaper advertising.

j K. ROGER'S LIVERWORT, TAR AND
JL - CANCHALAGUA has rescued its multitude!
from the grave. Dv you ask for tho evidence?
Then call on the Agent, and got a pamphlet; a
newspaper is too small to contain it. In the pamph
let you will find well authenticated cases of indi
viduals who were, in very deed, rescued from the
grave; for they were upon the very-verge of it,
and given up to die by our best Physicians and
most skillful Medical Professors, when the Livoi
wort and Tar came to their rercue, and delivered
them back to their friends. Although many of
the cures see'm almost incredible, yet they are not
obscure; we have given their real mimes, and
A their exact place of residence, so that they may
bo seen, and the facts heard trom their own mouths.
These cures aro fully corroborated by Physicians
and Professors of Medicine, who arc well known
an! aro of the highest standirg in our land, who
have been compelled to yield to these stubborn
tacts; no one can dispute such evidence.
We challenge the world to produce more real
bona fide evidence, in any court of justice, than
we have in favor of this medicine.
We defy the Physicians of every school, and all
the Medicines that have over been invented, to
produce evidence of such remarkable cures as
have been made by Dr. Roger’s Liverwort, Tar
and Caneka/ayua.
Wo confidently ask the afflicted (not to purchase
our Modicines) but to examine our pamphlet, and
see for themselves, whether the evidence is as con
vincing as we say it is; if so, it may prove a great
blessing to you.
It costs but a little to give it a fair trial, com
pared to what a Physician charges—but little when
oompared to what you value your health !
What is the value of money without health ?
BEWARE OF COUGHS AND COLDS!
Recollect chat Coughs and Colds are the fore
rumers of Consumption. Dr. Roger’s Liverwort,
Tar and Canchalaguu will break up the most dis
tressing cough or cold in a few hours' time. In
many cases of years’ standing a radical cure h»3
boon effected in a very short time by strictly fol
lowing the directions. We doubt not but that .
there are now thousands of living witnesses, who
would have been in (heir graves if they bad not
used th.s Medicine, arresting the disease before it
became too late:
Who are those who have certified to the great
value ot this Medicine ? You will find the names
of such men as Hon. Judge Win. Burke, late Post
master of Cincinnati for more than twenty years ;
C. W. Starbuck, Esq , Proprietor of the Cincinnati
Daily Times; Hon. John A. Collins, late Agent
and Lecturer of the Grand Division of tho Sons
of Temperance of Ohio; Rev. Henry Wiseman,
and the attending Physician, Dr. H R. Wilson, of
Partriot, Gallia co, Ohio; H E. Drake, Esq.,
Druggist of high standing, ot Xenia, 0.; J. G.
Hiersonimus and his attending Physician, W. W.
