POETRY.
From the Catholic Expositor.
A friend has furnished us with the “Lines on the
death of a Child.’’ The author of them is a Lady,
whose name even is unknown to us. We however,
not the less warmly welcome her muse to our pages,
and hope, that the pleasure witieh the present pro
duction must atTotd our readers, is only an earnest
of the future gratification, they are to receive from
the same source. It rests altogether with the fair
writer, and surely one, who seems to have sipped of
the sweetest dews of Helicon, will not permit the
bright creations of her imagination to remain un
known and unadmired.
Lines on the Death of«j C hild.
I saw a lovely flower,
Upon a tender spray ;
But a rude blast came with sudden power,
And swept its bloom away;
It bent beneath the blow,
And its leaves to earth were given ;
But the bitter wind, that laid it low,
Bore its fragrance unto heaven.
I mark’d a rainbow’s form,
When the summer shower went by,
Born of the sunbeam and the storm,
Spanning the eastern sky—
And 1 gazed upon the sight,
Till tlie.glorious arch was riven,
Anil its varied hues of gorgeous light
Melted away in heaven.
1 watched a merry bird,
Building its fairy nest,
And the glossy leaves by its wings were stirr’d
Bound that little spot of rest;
And I deem’d its gushing song
Would still to mine ear be given;
But it plum'd its wings forlhe skies ere long,
And sora’d and sang in heaven.
I gazed on a gentle star,
That was bright in theev’ning sky,
And thought how it smil’d in its homo afar,
When watched by a mortal eye.—
But the tempest gather’d fast,
And wildly the clouds were driven ;
And the star was lost, as their dark folds past;
But I knew it was still in heaven !
So, like that lovely flower,
And, like that rainbow’s light,
And, like the bird of the summer bower,
And, the glittering star of night,
Hath thy loved one, in life’s pure spring,
From thy fond embraces riven,
Been borne away on an angel’s wing
To dwell in the light of heaven.
SONG FROM THE SPANISH.
O! broad and limpid river,
O banks so far and gay—
O ! meadows, verdant ever,
O ! groves in green array.
O ! if in field or plain,
My love should hap to be,
Ask ! ifher heart retain
A thought of me.
O clear and crystal dews,
That in the morning ray,
All brighUwith silvery hues,
Make field and forest gay.
O ! if in the field or plain,
My love should hap to be, •
Ask if her heait retain
A thought of me.
O woods that to the breeze,
With waving branches play ;
O sands, where oft at ease
Her careless foosteps stray;
O ! if the field or plain,
My love should hap to be,
Ask if her heart retain
A thought of me.
O warbling birds that still
Salute the rising day,
And plain and valley till
With your enchanting lay.
O ! if in the field or plain,
My love should hap to be,
Ask if her heart retain
A thought of me.

From the Southern Planter.
Improvement of O'd Lands.
Mr. Editor:—The improvements of lands, such
as have been long abandoned as worthless, I am per
suaded from some experience, is practical. Old fields
used for many years as commons, require only one
good manuring to produce good tobacco. After the
tobacco crop (which is the !>est preparation) seed in
wheat and in the month of February, in clover and
herdsgr.ss.
1 have a lot of wheat at this time on such land that
promises a better crop than other often manured lands,
to all appearance much richer, (no doubt wearied by
much cultivation.) When well set in grass, it should
not be interrupted with the plough for two or three
years.
My plantation which is the oldest in Charlotte
and was first settled by my grandfather, who was a
woodsman, and took up the lands gencratly in mv
neighborhood, as may be seen by the reference to the*
patents bearing date about the year 1755.
The uplands were so much exhausted from hard
cultivation when I got possession, as to make it ab
solutely necessary to improve the cleared land or cut
down the remainnig forest, which was not morethan
sufficient for fire-wood and fencing. I had often heard
the remark from a very practical man, that it was as
easy to improve as clear an acre, and I resolved to try
the experiment, 1 am satisfied that an acre can be
•avered and improved, even if under the necessity of
hauling richer earth from hedges, corners of fences,
or ditch banks, sooner than w# can cut down, grub &
prepare timber land for a crop of any thing.
It is my uniform practice to make my farm pens on
the ground I wish to improve, selecting the poorest
spot, especially if it he dry ; it will be sufficiently en
riched by the juices from the litter lying through the
winter. It will save much hauling from a more per
manent shelter, often distant from the ground to be
i aproved.
To restore old lands, addingto the quantum oflot
land every year as much as convenient: the progress
though slow, will tell in a few years.
The consolation of having bettered the condition of
our land, to say nothing of the profit from better
crops, is sufficient to arouse the energy of farmers.
We hav a soil and climate adapted to the produc
tion of O '-ery crop essential to tbs wants of uiaa, and
we have only to avail ourselves of the cheapest and
most practical mode of improvement to change the
present gloomy prospect which now hangs over us, to
substitute a verdant scene, in place of the cheerless
broom sedge which meets the eye of the way worn
traveller from better cultivated countries.
Farm-pens and stable manures for our tobacco
country are the cheapest and most certain improvers,
after all; plaster, lime, &c. arc rather expensive arti
cles to be used broadcast.
From the lands the cornstalks should 1* taken af
fording a very good feed for cattle in the fall, on the
best foundation for the farm pens and stable-yards
with as many leaves as can conveniently be handed.
The straw should then be fed by serttering it gene
rally over the pen, unless so abundant as to be spar
e 1 and carried directly to the land to ba improved.
I knew a planter in my county who matured main
ly with leaves, and a most successful farmer he was,
the Rev. Janies Brosks, covering his tobacco lots ve
ry deep, with leaves only. I would suggest alter
nately a pile of manure and leaves, by this means a
larger surface may be added. The greatest object is
to manure enough to make the clover and herdsgrass
take ; this effected, much is accomplished at least
our barren lands may be converted into good pasture.
SAMUEL D. MORTON.
N. B. I have ticen engaged in improving waste
lands for about ten years. Probably I may not have
made as fine as those who apply the whole manure
to liettcr lands, but 1 have been profited by enhan
cing the value of my land. Such as I have intprov
ed would not have been estimated by any judge of
land at more than three to four dollars, now it may
be safely valued at from six to eight dollars,

TUOSPECTUS
. OF THE
SOUTHERN QUARTERLY REVIEW.
This work has now been a year before the public,
during which period its reputation baa been so suc
cessfully established, and its circulation so widely
extended, as to justify the hope and belief that it will
long continue to be one of the principal organs of
Southern Political Interest?, and one of the chief or
uament3 of Southern Literature. The brilliant
character of the late Southern Review shed around
Charleston and the South, a halo which will not soon
be forgotten - the Southern Quarterly has risen, af
ter many toilsome from its ashes, and it is
trusted that it will prove itself a worthy successor of
the glory of the former. Nothing more is now re
quisite to ensure its permanence than the continued
and cordial support of the inhabitants of the South
ern portions of the Union; and an # appeal is confi
dently made to the generous and patriotic feelings
of all Sobtherncr3, not to suffer the present Review
to languish from the want of that sustenance which
they can so well afford.
In its political oharacter this Review will be Dem
ocratic, and while avoiding carefully schims merely
local in their nature, it will strenuously uphold South •
ern Interests, and advocate all questions of national
importance with boldness and freedom. It is not in
tended, however, absolutely to exclude all articles
maintaining principles different from our own; but if
otherwise worthy of admission, they will be inserted
with a notice that the Editors do not hold themselves
responsible for the doctrines alleged. All religious
discussions of a sectarian nature will-be seduously
eschewed, and the Review will preserve a perfect
impartiality towards all religious denominations.
The work will be printed on the best paper, and
with the best type, and every exertion will be made
to render it worthy of the patronage of the public
generally. It will be issued quarterly from Charles
ton, in January, April, J.uly and October; and arrange
ments have been made, since its remobal to this city,
to insure the regular and punctual delivery of every
number a3 it appears, so that no disappointment may
hareaftor arise from any failure in this respect.
Mr. Ritchie having withdrawn from the work, the
Subscrber, in order that more time and attention
may be devoted to its improvement, and to the accu
racy and excellence of each number, has associated
with himself in the Editorial management of the
Review, that distinguished scholar, G. Frederick
Holmes, Esq. of Orangeburg, and every effort will
be made on the part of both to give every satisfaction
to its patrons.
In consequence of the removal of the Southern
Review to Charleston, and the reduction in the ex
penses of printing and publishing attendant thereon,
the price of the work will henceforward be reduced
from Ten Dollars to Five Dollars, payable annually
in advance. The fifth number, which will com
mence amaher year, will appear early in January,
1343, forSVnirh abundant material havo been already
procured. Many of the best writers and most pro
found scholars of the country have already pledged
themselves to furnish articles for the ensuing year,
and the list oFcontributors is daily ncreasing in
taleht, in respectability and in number;
General Agents for the work—Silas Howe, Esq.,
for Charleston; Win. Maybin, Esq., for olumbia and

tern States. The names of other agens upon the
cover of the Review.
All communications may be addressed, post paid,

THE PETERSBURG REPUBLICAN.
Believing the present to be a crisis too important to
(he interests of the Democratic party to allow any press
devoted .to its cause to sink for want of support, the
subscriberhas, at the instance of many friends, con
sented to assume the editorial guidance of the teters
burg Republican.
• Recognizing in the late temporary defeat of Democ
racy the necessity of recurrence for figure success to
the fundamental principles of States' Rights, and their
strict application to all Federal issues. The Republi
can will neither in itself exhibit laxity of political faith,
nor tolerate its indulgence in others, but will undevia
tingly adhere to the noble principles, as admirably em
bodied by one of our distinguished Statesmen —'Free
trade ; low duties ;no debt; separation from Banks ;
economy; retrenchment; and strict udherance to the
Constitution.”
The successful maintenance* and permanent estab
lishment of this wise and just system of measures must
greatlydepend on thejudicious selection of the Demo
cratic candidate for the next Presidency, and believing
the amplest guarantee of these important ends to be
afforded by the eminent abilities and unsullied faith of
JOHN C. CALHOUN, the Republican will advocate
his claims to the nomination of the National Conven
tion. These claims will be enforced with due respect
to the preferences of others, and the cordial support of
this press will be given jto the Nominee of a Convert
tion so assembled as to be general, and so constituted
as to give a clear expression to the w ill of the majority.
Tite Petersburg Republican will, as heretofore, be
published three tunes a week, at Five Dollars per an
num, uiways payable in advanre.
Tbe stibscr.lter will assume its control on the third
Monday in June, until which time all communications
will he addressed to him (post paid) Riehmo'd.

PROSPECTUS
OF
THE SPECTATOR.
fIIIIE Subscriber will continue to publish, at Wash-
J ing'on, D. C-, the SPECTATOR weekly. It
will be devoted to the spread ot true Democratic princi
ples and will adopt for its mo'to the words of the Hon.
John C. Calhoun —“Free Trade ; Low Duties; No
Debt; Separation from Banks ; Economy, Retrench
ment ; and 3»rict adherence to the Constitution ;” and
will bear aloft his truly Democratic banner. It will al
so strongly advocate the limitation of the tenure of the
Presidential office to one term —not only in justice to
to distinguished public men of Hie nation, but as more
consonant to the genius of our Republican institutions
and more conducive to a faithful and independent ad
ministration of the Government.
As the most direct and effective mode of securing
the permanent ascendancy of these cardinal princi
ples, the Spectator will zealously urge upon the coun
try the claims of the distinguished Southern States
man for the Presidency. In doing this, it will not be
unmindful of the integrity and safety of the Republi
can Party, an J will manifest a proper regard lor the
pretensions of the prominent individuals who have
been named for this high trust, and are identified with
the advancement of these principled. The Spectator
will be edited by one of the ablest and most experien
ced political writers of the day.
The terms are three dollars per year, in advance, for
a single copy.
Clubs and individuals, ordering more than one copy,
and forwarding the amount of subscriptions in ad
vance, will receive them on the following terms:
Five liars per annum for two copies.
Twelve dollars per annum for five copies.
Twenty dollars per annum for ten copies.
No paper will be sent without a remittance of the sub
scription. ,
All communications must be addressed to the sub
scril»er. J HN HEART.
Washington, D. C-, March 13, 1843.
CIRCULAR.
The time has arrived, when, it has become neces
sary for the Friends of Free Trade to unite in sus
taining their cause.
Tiie commercial community, and agricultural pop
ulation of the country, have been subjected to the
operation of an unequai and unjust Tariff Law. A
law, admitted by its framers and advocates, to have
been hastily devised and hurriedly acted on, forced
through Congress at the close of an extra session,
and adopted by a single casting 1 vote. A law, which
makes forced loans from importers, in the way of
cash duties, amounting on an average to 30 per cent,
of their capital. A law, which by heavily taxing ma
terials used in ship building, being equal to $5 per
ton, which, on a vessel of 600 tons, amounts to the
enormous sum of 83,500 is driving our ships from the
foreign carrying trade. Foreign and cheaper built
vessels monopolize to a great extent, the business
which was formerly done by our ships.
The friends of Free Trade, contend that justice to
the Merchants, Ship Builders, and Ship Owners, and
to the Farmers of the country, demands an immedi
ate modification of this oppressive Tariff Law’. They
contend, that, the Agricultural and Commercial in
terests of the United States are indissolubly united.
That, the prosperity and extension of trade and com
merce, necessarily promotes the extension and pros
perity of agriculture.
They believe the power granted to Congress by
the Constitution, to regulate commerce, was not in
tended to be used for its destruction.
They believe it bad policy for the government, in
time of profound peace, under pretence of passing a
revenue bill, to pass a hill destroying revenue, and
then borrow money with which to carry on the gov
ernment, and at the same time laying the foundation
of a large public debt.
•They believe a crisis ha3 been reached in the af
fairs of the country, when these measures must be
met, resisted and overcome, by the united and effi
cient action of the friends of free trade.
From the signs of the times, should the advocates
of commercial restriction and unequal taxation, suc
ceed in electing their candidate for the Presidency,
the disastrous result will be, that we shall have the
severe grievances of which we justly complain, fas
tened upon us as the permanent policy of the coun
try.
To avoid an event fraught with such evil conse
quences, it behooves us to unite with others in the
support of a Free Trade Candidate for the Presiden
cy. The time for action is short. In a few more
months, an individual may be selected, a3 President,
whose opinions, power mad influence, might be fear
fully exerted against one, whose views, feel
ings and opinions coiffii€o enth our own.
Something should be ioee. At the present time,
the Press of this city occupies a position unfavorable
to the success of our cause. The necessity for a
new paper i3 evident, from the fact that at present,
none of the papers of this city advocate to the full
extent, and with sufficient energy and zeal, the prin
ciples for which we contend.
A paper of this character seems at the presen
juncture indispensable. It should be in its ends and
aims, essentially a Free Trade paper; and at the same
time, advocate the claims to office, of men in whose
undisguised principles, we might place the most in»
plicit confidence.
A Committee of Free Trade Gentlemen, have
been organized to solicit subscriptions from porsone
disposed to contribute means, towards starting in this
city, as soon as practicable, anew Comercial and
Free Trade paper, with the intention, at the same
time of lending its honest and fair support for the
Presidency, to the candidate whose opinions are well
known to be favorable to a liberal Commercial policy.
Writers of acknowledged a iiity, zeal and indus
try, will have charge of the Editorial columns.
Talents of the highest order will be engaged to
take charge of the respective Departments of the
paper.
The state of the Money Market, with Reports of
Banks, Incorporated Joint Stock Companies, Procee
dings of Congress, and of State Legislatures, in re
lation to all financial affairs, with regular tables of
Exchange Domestic and Foreign, combined with
genera' groupings of all monetary movements taking
place in all parts of the civilized world, will form a
permanent feature of the paper.
Another department of the paper will be devoted
to information concerning the state of the principal
Markets of the world for Agricultural products. Cor
respondence will also be established with the farm
ing and planting districts of the interior, in order to
obtaiiAhe latest news of the extent and prospects of
the growing crops.
Your aid in promoting the objects expressed in
the above circular, is respectfully solicited, with that
of your lriends, which can be remitted by mail, in
the way of subscribers, or other contributions, to the
address of I. F. Hutton, 47 1-2 Wall street, or to E.
B. Hart, 18 Wall street, New York.
PROPOSALS.—It is proposed to publish a paper
that in connection with the objects al>ove expressed,
shall also support the claims of the Hon. JOHN C.
CALHOUN, for the Presidency of the United States,
subject to the decision of a National Convention of
Delegates, sent directly from the People.
A Daily and Weekly paper, will be issued, of the
full ordinary size, printed on good paper and with en
tire new type. The price for the Daily will he 86 00
and for the Weekly, S3 00 per annum, payable in all
cases, in advance.
Single copies of the Daily will be two cents, and
and of the Weekly, six cents each.
Postmasters are authorised by a law of Congress
to remit funds or subscriptions for newspapers free
of expense.

PROSPECTUS
'* OF THE
CHEROKEE ADVOCATE.
THE undersigned, at the solicitation of ninny friends
proposes to publish, in the village of Marietta, Cohb
County Georgia, a weekly newspsper under the above!
title. He is assured that a well conducted newspap*r
is much wanted in this region, and so tar as his humble
efforts will go, should he meet with encouragement,
the Advocate shall add to the reputation of the Chero
kpe Country, affording as it does, the most salubrious
clime, w ith a fertile and productive soil, not surpassed
in the Union. . .
The Advocate will be decided in its poll tes, while at
the same time due res lect will be paid to the opinions
of those who mav diff r with us. Believing in a strict
construction of the Constitution, as the only sure guar
antee to the Institutions of the South, and of the two
great parties now before the country, that the Demo
cratic Party, with Jofl.v C. Calhoun at its head, is the
one on which to look for the carrying out those princi
pies, the Advocate will support the principles of that
Party, and the man, whoever he may be, selected by
the National Convention to carry out its principles.
Agriculture —that most impcrtanl branch of industry,
will not be neglected in the pages of the Advocate.
To this branch we shall devote much attention, and in
addition, to such selected articles, as may be of interest
to this section, we will en(leaver to procure the assis
tance of the larmers in Western Georgia, w ho, by giv
ing their own experience and mode of cultute, wil
bring forward others, and thus all reap a benefit.
The Advocate may also be looked to for such items
of news as we may receive from different sections of
the country, and a portion of its pages will be devoted
to light reading. It will be an object of the undersigned
to make the Advocate such a paper as every subscriber
will feel a pleasure in perusing himself, and in placing
before his family, and when Ins year expires, renew his
subscription with a smile on his countenance.
The Advocate will be printed on an Imperial sheet
with new type, press, &c. at Three Dollars per an

I DR. SPENCER’S
[VEGETABLE PILLSj
A PUBLIC BLESSING.
These Pills have long been known and appreciated,
for their extraordinary and immediate powers of re
storing perfect health to persons suffering under
nearly every kind of disease to which the human
frame is liable.
They are particularly recommended to all those
persons who are afflicted with any kind of Chronic or
Lingering Complaint, as there is no medicine before
the public which has so natural and happy effect up
on the system in correcting the stomach a-d liver,
and to the formation of healthy chyle and thereby
purifying the blood.
They are acknowledged by the hundreds and
thousands who are using them, to be not ouly the
most mild and pleasant in their operation, but the
must perfectly innocent, safe and efficient medicine
ever offered to the public. Those who once make a
trial of hese Pills, never afterward feel willing to be
without tthem, and call again and again for more
which is sufficient proof of their good qualities.
HEADACHE—SICK OR NERVOUS.
Those who have suffered a,id are weary of suffer
ing with this distressing complaint, will find Spencer’s
Vegetable Pills a remedy at once certain and immedi
ate in its effects. One single dose of the Pills taken
soon as the headache is felt coming on, will cure it
in one half hour entirely.
Asa remedy in Summer and Bowel Complaints,
they display their wonderful powers to admiration,
and are far superior to any thing in use for these
complaints.
In Dyspepsia and Liver Complaint, they stand un
rivalled. Many have been cured in a few weeks,
after having suffered under the dreadful complaint
for years.
In Habitual Costiveness, they are decidedly supe
rior to any Vegetable Pill ever brought before the
public ; and one 25 cent box will establish their sur
prising virtues, and place them beyond the reach of
doubt in the estimation of every iiMividual.
They are invaluable in nervotis and hypochondria
cal allcctions, loss of appetite, and all complaints to
which females alone are subject.
They are mild in their action, and convey almost
immediate conviction of their utility from the first
dose. They may be taken by persons of any age ;
and the feeble, the infirm, the nervous and delicate
are strengthened by their operation, because they
clear the system of bad humors, quiet nervous irra
tability, and invariably produce sound health.
Upwards of Three Hundred and Seventy Thous
and Boxes of these inestimable Pills have been sold
within the last twelve months in three States alono,
and more titan three times the same quantity in oth
er States.
As an Anti-Billious Medicine, no family should be
without them. A single trial of them is more satis
factory than a thousand certificates.
CERTIFICATES.
[The following is from Mr. Isaac M. Thomas, Mer
chant, at Talladega Springs, Alabama.]
Talladega Springs, Talladega Cos. Ala.
August 17, 1342.
This is to certify, that I have been afflicted with
Sick Headache, Dyspepsia, and Liver Complaint,
and Costiveness for the last eight or nine years, du
ring which time I had taken, as well as I recollect,
about sixty boxes of Beckwith’s Pills, twelve boxes
of Peters’ Pills, and a number of boxes of Champion’s
and Brandreth’s Pills, all of which afforded me but
little or no relief. At last, I was recommended to
try Dr. Spencer’s Vegetable Pills, and weU Idth; for
Inevcr had but one attack of tbe Sick Headache af
ter I commenced taking the Pills, (now about six
mouths) and I candidly ronfess, that I have derived
more real benefit from the use of Spencer’s Pills,
than from all the other Medicines and Pills that I
have ever taken, and I would earnestly recommend
them to all, as being in my opinion, the best medi
cine in use for all lingering complaints. The Pills
have done me so much good, that I would not feel
willing to be without them for five dollars a box; and
I cannot but feel very grateful to Dr. Spencer for
having prepared such a valuable medieme, and the
distribution of it is conferring a very great favor on
the public, as it is a thing of the utmost importance
that every family should have a supply of Dr. Spen
cer’s truly valuable Pills constantly on hand.

This is to certify, that I have used Dr. Spencer’s
Vegetable Pills in my family for the last six months,
and I consider them the best Pills I ever used. I
was appointed an agent for the sale of them about
six mouths ago, at which time the travelling agent
left me about one hundred boxes, and 1 ha'-e sold
out every box long since, and could have sold as
many more if they had been left. I think every
family should keep a supply always on hand. 1 have
neversold any Pills in my stote that have been liked
so well as Spencer’s Vegetable Pills.
ADAM RISER.
[From a very respectable Planter iu Washington
County, Alabama.]
Washington Cos., Ala., March 8, 1843.
To Dr. Spencer:
Dear Sir —I have used your Vegetable Pills in my
amily the last year with great success, and I consid
er them the best Pill I ever used. I have made con
siderable use of many other popular Pills, but 1 am
convinced that yours are superior to any of them.
For Sick Headache, they arc an excellent medicine.
For Bowel Complaint, I think them the best rnedi
cine iu the world, and also for the Bloody celux. I
can say to you that I made great use of them last
season. I had twenty of my blacks sick with the
Flux, and I administered your Pills freely, and I did
not loose a single case. My neighbors speak in the
highest terms of them. Respectfully yours,
JESSE JORDAN.
[important CAUTION
1. .. .
A PROCLAMATION.
To the Citizens af Georgia:
WHEREAS, for several years past, the good Peo
ple of this State have been greatly, and very seri
ously imposed upon in times of suffering and sick
ness, by being obliged to pay the enormous price of
One Dollar and Fifty Cents for a Box of PILLS,-or
a Bottle of MIXTURE, to cure CHILLS AND
FEVERS, and other distressing complaints: Now,
therefore, know ye, that an effectual means of relief
have been discovered in 'DR. HULL'S VEGET
ARLE FEVER and AGUE, and ANTI-FEVER
PILLS; which are offered by the Proprietors and
their Agents at the low price of only One Dollar per
Box —from 25 to 50 per cent cheaper than the majori
ty of all other medicines for the cure of such com
plaints ; and as to the comparative safety with which
they can be taken, together with the simplicity of
their component parts"(which are entirely vegetable)
and the real value of Hull’s Pills, as adapted to the
wants of the community, there can be no longer the
least doubt of their great superiority over all otliet
medicines, not only in their superior properties in
the safe and speedy cure of Chills and Fevers, but
also as a remedy in Fevers of every description.
It is particularly worthy of remark, that out of up
wards of Twenty Thousand Boxes of these Pills sold
in Alabama alone, within the last twelve months, not
a single case has come to the knowledge of the pro
prietors, where' they have failed to cure the Chills
and Fevers, when theyiiave been used according to
the directions accompanying them. And besides
these pills are no “qnack medicine;” they are tht
scientific preparation of experienced medical men,
who, after having prepared this important recipe,
most positively declared that from all the discoveries
up to the present time, in medical science, they saw
no way by which they could possibly be improved, or
made in any way more effectual in the cure of those
complaints for which they are recommended : so that
the happy combination of the ingredients and their
proportions are such as to produce a medicine which
never fails to relieve when relief is at all attainable.
Upwards of one thousand certificates might here be
added, of important cures effected by this medicine;
but it is not necessary to publish them, as a single
trial of the Pills is more satisfactory evidence than a
volume of printed testimonials. We would, howev
er, refer the reader to some eight or ten thousand
families in this State, who it is thought have experi
enced their efficacy, and who would bear ample tes
timony of their unrivalled virtues.
