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. i\ UJyvg aa-fw 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, May 10, 1813. S. D. M.

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 the upper districts of South Carolina and John C. Walker, Esq., for New Orleans and the South-Wes tern States. The names of other agens upon the cover of the Review. All communications may be addressed, post paid, to either of the Editors, G. Frederic Holmes, Or angeburg. S. C., or to the Subscriber at Charleston DANIL. K. WHITAKER, Editor and Proprietor. 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. WASHINGTON GREENHOW. Rishtnond, 31s! May, 1843. 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. Mew York, September, 1343. OGLETHORPE UNIVERSITY.

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 most flattering- recommendations of this Med cine have been received from many eminent Phys icians and others who have used it. And it is pre sumed that no medicine has ever been used whose action has been more beneficial, pleasant and invig orating, and called forth from afflicted sufferers such expressions of heartfelt gratitude and thankfulness. Persons taking the Pills soon "find themselves reliev ed—Chill broken! Fever gone!! Stomach and bead free and healthful!!! Strength and appetite in creasing and improving, and all nervous weakness fled. When taken according to the directions accome nying them, they never fail to cure ihe-CUill and For ver the first day, and never sicken the stomach ap operate upon the bowel3. Their action upon the whole system is so charming, hat persons are invariably surprised and pleased with their rapid and complete restoration to health.

Each box contains 20 doses of Pills —Price, One Dollar. [important caution| The Public are hereby cautioned against being imposed upon by paying in these hard times one dol lar and twenty-five or one dollar and fifty cents for a box of Pills or a bottle of any kind of Medicine to cure Chills and Fevers, when a box of Hull’s Fever and Ague, and Anit-Fever Pills can be had for only One Dollar that have never failed in a single instance of curing the Chills and Fever, when used according to the directions accompanying them. Remember this, and next time get HULL’S PILLS, and there by save your Half a Dollar. 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. ISAAC M. THOMAS. [From Mr. Adam Riser, a'popular Merchant in T dega County, Alabama.] Riser’s Store, Talladega Cos., Ala. ) August 16, 1842. j 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. 23= For Sale by J.
