remarkable evidences of their good edicts. The certificates
that have beer presented to the proprietor exceed twenty

judges of their merits.
Often have the cures performed by this medicine been the
subject of editorial comment, in various newspapers and
journals; and it may with truth be asserted, that no medicine
of the kind has ever received testimonials of greater value
than me attached to this.
They are in general use as a family medicine and there

From Dr. Eli Todd, late President of the Medical
Society, of Connecticut, and Principal of the In

1828.
MY personal acquaintance with Dr. Joseph Priestly Pe
ters, together with the very favorahlo impression of his
talents and his character, derived from his friends, have sat
isfied me that he is well entitled to the .itedica! honors he re
ceived at Yale College, ami that the public may safely con
fide in his integrity and skill, iu the exercise of his profession.
The following was forwarded to Dr. Peters, by a highly
respectable Planter of Wake County, N. Ca., March 3d,
1838.
Dr. Peters—Dear Sir,—By request of your agent, Mr.
Harrison, I send you a few lines respecting the almost mi
vacuous effects of your pills; and 1 would add, that you
may make use of them, in connection with my name, in any
m inner you il.em proper. 1 speak of their merits ftom ex
perience, as 1 and my family have taken upwards of thirty
boxes in three yeais; ami so great are the benefits we
h «ve r reived from them in general, tli.it 1 w ould rather pur
chas them at ten dollars a box than have my house without
them. 1 will m>t enumerate the afflictions lhei have reliev
ed us if; but I can assure you they were in my, amt of very
opposite natures, which has fully proved to me that your
m divine is a simple purifier of the system, and therefore
equally the enemy of every disease. I will mention one case.
I naw i sister who itad been for a long period severely af
flicted with dropsy in the chest and was brought by it to the
vi-ige of the grave She was attended by the most eminent
physicians that money could procure ; but all their efforts to
restore her to health, or even to mitigate her sufferings weie
fii’itless; and accordingly, we all considered her immediate
deiih as inevitable. By good fortune, however, as she was
111 tills Situation, expeclm every day to be her last, your
pills were introduced into my family, and so speedy ami pal
pable were their effects that three doses visibly relieved her,
and in less than three months she was perfectly restored to
health. The case. I ami all who were witness ol it, but (more
especially the suffering party,) considered to be the next tiling
to miraculous; and yet I could ment.ou many more of an
equally desperate nature, in which your pills were equally suc
cessful in rescuing the patients from the jaws of death. Need
I add that the popularity of your medicine amounts to enthu
siasm iu tins section of the country ! But this 1 presume '
you know from the immense quantity you dispose of. 1 may
mention, however, that notwithstanding its general use, I ;
never heard an individual complain of its effects. My resi- ,
deuce is 12 miles from Raleigh on the road to Fayetteville.
I am with sentiments of regard, your ob't servant.

To Dr. Peters,—Sir—for upwards of fifteen mouths. I have i
been cruelly afflicted with Fever and Ague; and during the ;
time could find nothing—though I had applied to every
thing that gave me any thing like permanent relief. At I
lengt I', 1 ', how ever, your pills were recommended to me, by one
of our best physicians, and I am most grateful and happy in
being able to add, that I had scarcely used two boxes when 1
found that they had restored me to perfeeljhealth Since then,
various members of my family have used them with equal
success—and consequently 1 feel it my duty to apprise you
of the fact, and to inquest of you to publish this certificate,
as I am anxious t<» add my public testimony to the almost
miraculous virtues of your unrivalled medicine.

Dr. J. I’. Peters—My Dear Sir—Ou the night of the 11 th
ifist I was called in great haste to the house of a fellow cit
izen, (Mr. Lee,) where I found h s son laboring under a most
alarming attack of Cynanche Tracncalis (Cioup) and appa
rently beyond the aid of remedy. By the greatest good for
tune, however. I had in my pockets a broken box of youi
pills—lour of which I administered, with such immediate
li.qqiy efiect that iu a lew minutes my patient was at ease,
and out of danger. This case, in connection with my name
is at your service—and I have thepleaimre to inform you that
your inestimable medicine is in such great favor with the fac

Extract from a letter written by Dr. Francis Bogart, of
Pi evidence, R. 1 , Dec. 17, 1838.—Peters’ Pills are an ex

HAYNES’ PILLS
| ANTI-DYSPEPTIC &, ANTI-BILLIOUS
SILLS,
Prepared by C. E. HAYNES, M. D.
SPARTA, GEORGIA.
! E N offering these Pills to the public, it is not deemed obtru
sive or impertinent to give a brief history of the circum
stances which led to their original preparation. Iu December,
1828, Dr. 11. took i is seat in Congress as a Representative
from Georgia, w hile laboring under protracted billious disease,
the consequence of a severe attack of fever in the course of
the previous autumn. Having exhausted the usual remedies
without relief, he determined to try the effect of combining a
numberof well known medicines, with the separate action of
each he had been familiarly acquainted in his professional
course of more than twenty years. These medicines socorn-
' bitted, compose his ANTI-DYSPEPTIC AND ANTI
BILLIOUS PILLS. He proceed' dto take, as directed for
dyspepsia ami other chronic diseases requiring action on the
i bowels, one pill at bed time, which he continued to repeat
i nightly for about a week, at which time he was as free ftom
! billious disease as if he had never been afflicted with it* Ou
his return to Georgia in the spring of 1829, in consequence of
the signal benefit he had derived from the’-pills. hr. 1 prescribed
them for his brothel , w ho had been laboring under dyspepsia
and liver complaint from the autumn of 1823, in consequence
of a severe and protracted attack of billious fever. His health
began immediately to improve, and has been restored by them
in the manner stated in his certificate. The pills were pre
scribed to others laboring under chronic billious affections,
upon the confidence inspired by their success in the foregoing
, eases, until those cases became so numerous, that applications
j weie annually made to Dr. 11. from 1835 to 1838 inclusive,
;vhcn about to depart for Washington, for from twenty to fifty
I dozen as a supply during his absence, by persons who
had tested their virtues. So tar. no serious thought
t was entertained of offering them to the public at large, as ihe
supply had been limited to the range of his private practice
Nor did Dr. IL consent to prepare aud oiler them for general
i use, until two or three years after he had been urged todo so.
by those who had been signally benefited by them. W hen
first used by himself, lie supposed their application would be
confined to cases of chronic billious disease, aud it was not un
til alter more than ten years experience of their use iu many
I of the varieties of chronic, and some of the more violent acute
i febrile diseases, that he became convinced, as he now is, that
they possess greater merit in all cases requiring either mild or
i vigorous action upon the bowels, than any other known rem
s edy. As an alterative or mild aperient, they answer most ef
lectively. the indication stated by Dr. James Johnson in hi
admirable work on the morbid irritability of the stomach and
bjwels, by producing usually “but one evacuation daily, and
| that rfa solid, rather than a liquid consistence,” Nor is it
, difficult to account for theirmot/us operanc/t. Mere evacuants
operate by stimulating the mucous membrane of the stomach
and bowels, without affecting the organs essential to healthy
i digestion, and although they procure temporary relief, the dis
leased secretions grow worse instead of better. These pills I
combine the most gentle action upon the mucous coat with
i an efficient and healthy influence upon the liver and’otheror
gaits of the digestive apparatus, ami, consequently operate in
the mildest manner, and not only give present relief, but when
steadily persevered in, a permanent cu.e.
Noi are they less efficient in fever and other acute diseases
requiring active purgation, by increasing the dose as directed,
causing the double operation of more vigorous action on the
bowels, and proportionality stimulating the liver aud otheror
gans to more healthy secretions, justifying the confident opin
ion. not only entertained by the inventor, but by many who
have used them, that they approach more nearly to the char
acter of a universal remedy in the cases indicated, that, any
other known medicine
(t is not deemed necessary to specify the various disorders
for the relief of which they arc applicable, but the following
are enumerated as some of them: Dyspepsia, sick head ache,
liver complaint, asthma, habitual or casual costiveness, Diar
rhea, heart burn, cholic, sour stomach, biilious fever, female
obstructions, &c., &c. In short, in every disease requiring
action on the bowels., Nor is it the smallest recommendation,
tha t in dyspepsia, liver oomplaints, and other chronic diseases,
a single pi-'l is, generally, a sufficient dose. They are pecu
liarly adapted to lhe condition of all persons of sedentary ha
bits, either male or female, who. with scaicely a solitary ex
ception, suffer fiom a sluggish state of the bowels. They are
also recommended as particular!; convenient to the traveller
m warm climates, or seasons, and for the use of large fami
lies, the dose being so easily adjusted, especially when resi
ding at a distance from the experienced physician.
The inventor asks his his own fellow citizens to give the
pills a fair trial—pledging himself if they w ill do so, that they
will not fail to obtain the confidence, and preference of ninety
nine out of a hundred, 01 nine hundred and ninety-niue out
of a thousand. As an alterative, or mild aperient, for correct
ing habitual or casual torpility of the bowels, one pill taken
at bed titn : is the proper dose, without the necessity of chan
ging ordinary habits of living If one should fail to produce
the desired effect, it is better to repeat it for two or three suc
cessive nights, than to aid its operation by taking any thing
for biilious fever, or other acute disease requiring active
purgation, one pill repeated every hour or two, until the de
sired effect is produced, is the best mode of administering them-
The subjoined certificates sufficiently attest the efficacy of
these pills. 1
CERTIFICATES.
Sparta, 15th June, 1839.
I certify, that I have used Doct. C. E. Haynes’ Anti-Dys
peptic Pills for more than two years; and pronounce them to
be the best remedy, that 1 have ever yet tried, for Dyspepsia
and Asthma. 1 have tried Ghallaghan’s, Beckwith’s, Bran
dreth’s and Peter’s Pills, without success. 1 have also found
Haynes’ Pills to be an excellent lemedy for intermitent and
bilious fever in early stages. WM. SHIVERS, Jr.
Sparta, June 15th, 1839.
Dr. C. E. Haynes:—Dear Sir—My attention was direct
ed to your Pills a little more than a year since, by Col. Shiv
ers. Since that time, I have frequently taken them myself,
and given them to my family with the most happy results.
With me they have removed costiveness, checked effectu
ally diarrhea, and taken off bile as fully as calomel, without
producing the unpleasant effect that is usually produced by
that valuable medicine. 1 therefore believe them a valuable
medicine, and would recommend a trial of them, at least.
Respectfully, R. S. HARDWICK.
Milledgeville, 17th June, 1839.
I am pleased with the opportunity of adding my testimony
to the value of Dr. Haynes' Anti-Dyspeptic Pills.
I have used them occasionally for more than a year past,
in ordinary diseases of the stomach and bowels, with the hap
piest effects; ami recently, in a sharp intermittent bilious le
vel, which was entirely eradicated by them, in three or four
days, without the aid of any other medicine, and cheerfully
recommend them as admirably adapted to the cure of dys
peptic and bilious diseases. wm McMurray.
Having been recently attacked with strong bilious symp I
toms, 1 used Dr. Haynes’ Pills with the happiest effect, which I
entirety relieved me, and which 1 do not hesitate to recom
mend as a valuable medicine.
CHARLES E. RYAN.
Milledgeville. 24th June, 1839.
Sparta, July 15, 1839.
Dr. C. E. Haynes; Sir—For several yeais past, I have
been afflicted with obstinate costiveness of the bowels, often
going from six to ten days without any discharge from them.
For several mouths, I used Dr. Peters’ pills, and found them
useful to me. Early last Spring 1w as induced to try your
Anti-dyspeptic Pills, which 1 have continued to use as occa
sion required, and have derived more benefit from them than
from any other medicine I have ever taken.
The operation is more easy, and the effect more permanent
than from any other medicine I have heretof ire used, and 1
give them a decided preference to any other remedy.
NATHAN COOK.
I’owei.ton, July 15, 1839.
Dr. C. E. Haynes: —lt affords me pleasure to stale, that I
have repeatedly used your Ami-dyspeptic and Anti-bilious
pills, and in every instance found immediate relief. 1 believe
them to be an excellent remedy in various diseases, aud es
pecially in cases of asthma.
In high esteem, &c., &c.,
JNO. WILLIAM RABUN.
Sparta, July 16, 1839.
Dear Sir—l have used in my practice some of your altera
tive Ami-dyspeptic pills, and have uniformly found benefit to
my patients from their administration. I can therefore cheer
fully iccominend them to the afflicted, as a valuable purgative
medicine. Very respectfully.
Your friend,

Hancock Countt, July 15, 1839.
I certify that my wife had suffered severely with Dyspep
sia. for a considerable time and had tried the prescriptions of
several physicians without deriving auy benefit from them.—
She then commenced taking Dr. C. E. Haynes’ Ami-Dys
peptic Pills about the fall of 1836, which relieved her entire
ly in the course of a few mouths.
R. MITCHELL.
Sparta, July 16, 1839,
Dr. Haynes; I have been selling Peters’ Pills for the las
three years, and during the time have occasionally taken them
myself. (1 believe them to be a good medicine) Some 12
or 15 days past, 1 had strong symptoms of billious fever. 1
took some of Peters’ Pills, and not receiving any benefit from
them, I procured a box of your,pills, and am happy to say
that they iu a few days removed all symptoms of approach
ing sickness. I conceive them to be an iuvaluable medicine.
Yours with respect, THOS. M. TURNER.
Milledgeville, July 26, 1839.
Dr. Haynes, Sir: I take great pleasure iu adding my tes
timonial to those you have already received, to the value of
your anti-dyspeptic and anti-bi'lious pills.
At your instance, 1 commenced using them in my family
about six years ago, and found them more uniformly effica
cious than any other remedy 1 have ever given. Especially
in a recent case of menstrua* obstruction of long standing,
ineffectually treated by several distinguished physicians,
which was entirely relieved iu a very few days, by the use of
your pills.
More -ecently still, I have given them in the early stage of
billious fever, with entire success.
Your friend, ALFRED M. HORTON.
Milledgeville, 25th July, 1839
Dr. C. E. Haynes; 1 have been hitherto induced by feel
ings of delicacy alone, to wjthhol I from the public, the expres
sion of my opinion in regard to the merits of your Anti-Dys
peptic and Anti-Billious Pills; but the numerous testimonials
which you have received from respectable and intelligent cit
izens, of their value in the cure of diseases for which they
were intended, will, 1 think, justify me in now adding my own,
having experienced their beuefits’fora longer period thau any
other individual, yourself only excepted.
In the spring ol 1829, after having been afflicted from the
autumn ot 1823 with dyspepsia, liver complaint, heart-burn,
aud occasional severe attacks of cramp cholic. I was induced
at your instance, to use a pill which you had prepared at
Washington City, in the winter of 1828. I had not taken
them a week, before their good effects were so apparent as
to induce their continuance, and at the end of a month, 1
found my system greatly relieved, and by their occasional
use. for a few months, was restored to an excellent state of
health, which I have ever since enjoyed in a very high degree.
1 have used them with great effect in my own family, in
cases of billious fever, dyspepsia ami cholic, and confidently
recommend them as an invaluable remedy.
T. HAYNES.
Milledgeville, 30th July, 1839.
Dr. Charles E. Haynes : About ten or twelve months since,
f was induced by your brother to make a trial of your Anti-
Dyspeptic and Anti-Bill<ous Pills, in a severe billious attack,
and found them most efficient iu removing the disease.
I have used them with great success, in several similar at
tacks since, as well as for cholic aud disoiders of the stomach
and bowels.
They have also been administered to several members of
my family, with like results, and particularly in a case of bil
lious fever, iu the early part of the present season.
From the very fair trial which I have made of these pills,
and the signal benefits which my family and myself have de
rived from them, I am fully warranted in recommending them
as a medicine of inestimable value; and confidently predict,
that they have only to be tried, to find great favor with the
public. ’ JESSE COX
