FHIHESE Pills are no longer among those of doubtful util
■ . ity. They have passed away from tho hundreds that
are daily launched upon the tide of experiment, and now
stand before the public as high iu reputation, and as exten
sively employed in all parts of the United States, the Canadas,
'Texas, Mexico, and the West Indies, as any medicine that
has ever been prepared for the relief of suffering man. They
have been introduced w herever it was found possible to carry
them ; and there are but few towns that do not contain some
remarkable evidences of their good effects. 'The certificates
that have been presented to the proprietor exceed twenty
thousand ! upwards of five hundred of which are from reg
ular practising physicians, who are the most competent
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 lias ever received testimonials of greater value
than ate attached to this.
They are iu general use as a family medicine and there
are thousands of families who declare they are never satis
fied until they have a supply always on hand.
They have no rival in curing and preventing Billions Fe
vers, Feverand Ague, Dyspepsia, Liver Complaints, Sick
Headache, Jaundice Asthma, Dropsy, Rheumatism, En
largement of the Spleen, Piles, Cholic, Female obstructions,
Heartburn. Furred Tongue, Nausea, Distension of the Stom
ach and Bowels, Incipient Diarrheea, Flatulence, Habitual
Costiveness, Loss of Appetite, Blotched or sallow Complex
ion, and in cases of torpor of the bowels, where a cathartic or
aperient is needed. They are exceedingly mild in their op
eration, producing neither nausea, griping nor debility.
From Dr. Eli Todd, late President of the Medical
Society, of Connecticut, and Principal of the In
sane Hospital, at Hartford, dated September 8,
1828.
MY personal acquaintance with Dr. Joseph Priestly Pe
ters, together with the very favorable impression of his
talents and his character, derived from his friends, have sat
isfied me that he is well entitled to the medical honors he re
ceived at Yale College, and that the public may safely con
fide in his integrity and skill, in 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, 1 send you a few lines respecting the almost.mi
raculous effects of your pills; and I would add, that you
may make use of them, in connection with my name, in any
manner you deem proper, 1 speak of their merits fiom ex
perience, as I and my family have taken upwards of thirty
boxes in three yeats; and so great are the benefits we
havereceived from them iu general, that I would rather pur
chase them at ten dollars a box than have my house without
them. I will not enumerate the afflictions they have reliev
ed us of; but I can assure you they were many, and of very
opposite natures, which has fully proved to me that your
medicine is a simple purifier of the system, and therefore
equally the enemy of every disease. 1 will mention one case.
I have a sister who had been for a long period severely as
flicted with dropsy in the chest and was brought by it to the
verge 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
fruitless ; and accordingly, we all considered her immediate
death as inevitable. By good fortune, however, as she was
in this situation, expecting every day to be her last, your
pills were introduced into my family, and so speedy and pal
pable were their effects that three doses visibly relieved her,
and in less than throe months she was perfectly restored to
health. The ease, I and all who were w itness of it, but (more
especially the suffering party,) considered to be the next thing
to miraculous; and yet I could mention 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 tjtat the popularity of your medicine amounts to enthu
siasm nt this section of the country ? But this I presume
you know from the immense quantity you dispose of. I may
mention, however, that notwithstanding its general use, I
never heard an individual complain of its effects. My resi
dence is 12 miles from Raleigh, on the road to Fayetteville.
I am with sentiments of regard, your ob’t servant.
a. g. banks.
To Dr. Peters, —Sir—for upwards of fifteen months, I have
been cruelly afflicted with Fever and Ague; and during the
time could find nothing—though 1 had applied to every
thing that gave tne any thing like permanent relief. At
length, however, your pills were recommended to me, by one
of our best physicians, and 1 am most grateful and happy in
being able to add, that 1 had scarcely used two boxes when I
found that they had restored me to perfect health- Since then,
various members of my family have used them with equal
success—and consequently I feel it my duty to apprise you
of the fact, and to request of you to publish this certificate,
as I am anxious to add my public testimony to the almost
miraculous virtues of your unrivalled medicine.
THEODORE JAMES.
Augusta. Ga. Feb. 10, 1839.
Communication received from the eminent Dr. J. IL Ir
win of Florence, Georgia:
Dr. J. P. Peters—My Dear Sir—On the night of the 11th
inst., I was called in great haste to the house of a fellow cit
izen, (Mr. Lee,) where I found his son laboring under a most
alarming attack of Cynanche Tracnealis (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 your
pills—four of which I administered, with such immediate
happy effect that in a few minutes my patient xvas at ease,
and out of danger. This case, in connection with my name
is al your service—aud I have the pleasure to inform you that
your inestimable medicine is in such great favor with the fac
ulty here, that I believe there is not one of them who does
not use it in his private practice.
Yours most respectfully,
March 13, 1839. J. 11. IRWIN,M* D.
Extract from a letter written by Dr. Francis Bogart, of
Providence, R. !., Dec. 17, 1838.—Peters’ Pills arc an ex
cellent aperient and cathartic medicine,those effects being pro
duced by tho differences of the quantity taken, and are deci
dedly superior to Lee’s, Brandreth’s or Morrison's Pills.
Extract from a letter written by Dr. Hopson o Bangor,
Maine, Jan. 9, 1839. They are a peculiarly mild yet efficient
purgative medicine, and produce little, if any, griping or
naseau. I have prescribed them with such success iu sick
headache and slight billions fever.
Extract of a letter by Dr. Joseph Williams of Burlington,
Vt., July 9, 1837.—1 cordially recommend Peters’ Pills as a
mildly effective, and in no case dangerous, family medicine-
They arc peculiarly influential in costiveness and all the usu
al diseases of the digestive organs.
Extract of a letter from Dr. Edw. Smith of Montreal, U.
C., Sept. 27, 1836,-1 never knew a single patent medicine
that I could put the least confidence in but Dr. Peters’ Ve
getable Pills, which are really a valuable discovery. I 'nave
no hesitation in having it known that I use them extensively
in my practice, for all complaints, (and they are net a few)
w'hich have their source in the impurity of tho blood.
Extract of a letter from Dr. Dye of Quebec L. C., Marell
6. 1837.—F0r billious fevers, sick headache, torpidity of the
bowels, and enlarge-meut of the spleen, Dr, Peters’ Pills are
an excellent medicine.
Extract of a letter from Dr. Gurney of New Orleans, La.,
Oct. 9, 1837. I have received much assistance iu my prac.
tice—especially in jaundice aud yellow fever, from the use of
Peters’ Pills. 1 presume that on an average, I prescribe 100
boxes in a month
Extractor a letter from Dr. Prichard of Hudson, N. Y.,
June 3, 1836—1 was aware that Dr. Peters was one of the
best chemists in the United States, and felt assured that he
would some day (from bis intimate knowledge of the proper
ties of herbs and drugs) produce an efficient medicine, and
I must acknowledge that his Vegetable Pills fully respond to
my expectations. They are indeed asuperior medicine, and
reflect credit alike upon the Chemist, the Physician and the
Philosopher.
Extract of a letter from Dr. Waincs of Cincinnati, Fob.
2, 1838—Your Pills arc the mildest in their operations, and
yet most powerful in their effects, of any that 1 have over
met with in a practice of eight and twenty years. Their ac
tion on the chyle, and hence on the impurities of blood, is ev
idently very surprising.
Extract of a letter from Dr. Scott of Baltimore, Dec. 17,
1836.—1 am iu the daily habit of prescribing them, (Peters’
Pills) and they in nearly all cases answered my purpose. I
have discarded other medicines, some of them very good ones,
in their favor.
Charlotte, N. C., Jan. 1, 1837.
Dear Sir—l have made frequent use of your Pills in
the incipient stage of billious fever, and obstinate constipa
tion of the bowels; also, in the enlargement of the spleen,
chionic diseases of the liver, sick headache, general debility,
aud in all cases have found them to be very effective.
J. D. BOYD, M. D.
Mecklengburg Co. Va., Feb. 7, 1837
Having used Dr. Peters’ Pills in my practice for the
last twelve months, 1 take pleasure in giving my testimony
of their good effects in cases of djspepsia, sick head-ache,
billious fevers, aud other diseases, produced by inactivity of
the liver. They are a safe and mild aperient, being the best
article of the kind I have ever used.

" Haynes’ PILLS.
ANTI - DYS PEPTIC & ANTI -BI LLIOUS
PILLS,
Prepared by C. E. HAYNES, M. D.
SPARTA, GEORGIA.
IN 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. In 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
number of well known medicines, with the separate action of
each be had been familiarly acquainted iu bis professional
course of more than twenty years. 'These medicines so com
bined, compose his ANTI-DYSPEPTIC AND ANTL
BILLIOUS PILLS. He proceeded to take, as directed for
dyspepsia and other chronic diseases requiring action ou the
bowels, one pill at bed time, which he continued to repeat
nightly for about a week, at which time he was as free from
billious disease as if he had never been afflicted with it. On
his return to Georgia in the spring of 1829, in consequence of
the signal benefit he had derived from the pills, ha prescribed
them for his brother, who 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
cases, until those cases became so numerous, that applications
were annually made to Dr. H. from 1835 to 1838 inclusive,
when about to depart for Washington, for from twenty to fifty
dozen as a supply during his absence, by persons who
had tested their virtues. So far, no serious thought
was entertained of offering them to the public at large, as the
supply had been limited to the range of his private practice.
Nor did Dr. H. consent to prepare and offer them for general
use, untM two or three years after he had been urged to do so,
by those who had been signally benefited by them. When
first used by himself, he supposed their application would be
confined to cases of chronic billious disease, and it was not un
til after more than ten years experience of their use iu many
of the varieties of chronic, and some of the more violent acute
febrile diseases, that he became convinced, as he now is, that
they possess greater merit in all cases requiring either mild or
vigorous action upon the bowels, than any other known rem
edy. As an alterative or mild aperient, they answer most ef
fectively, the indication stated by Dr. James Johnson in his
admirable work on the morbid irritability of the stomach and
bowels, by producing usually “but one evacuation daily, and
that cf a solid, rather than a liquid consistence.” Nor is it
difficult to account for their modus operandi. Mere evacuants
operate by stimulating the mucous membrane of the stomach
and bowels, without affecting the organs essential to healthy
digestion, and although they procure temporary relief, the dis
eased secretions grow worse instead of better. These pills
combine the most gentle action upon the mucous coat with
an efficient aud healthy influence upon the liver and other or
gans of the digestive apparatus, and, consequently operate in
the mildest manner, and not only give present relief, but when
steadily persevered in, a permanent cure.
Nor are they less efficient in feverand other acute diseases
requiring active purgation, by increasing the dose as directed,
causing the double operation cf more vigorous action on the
bowels, and proportionably stimulating the liver and othercr
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 iu the cases indicated, than any
other known medicine.
It is not deemed necessary to specify the various disorders
for the relief of which they are 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, billious fever, female
obstructions, &c., &c. In short, in every disease requiring
action on the bowels. Nor is it the smallest recommendation,
that in dyspepsia, liver oomplaints, and other chronic diseases,
a single pill is, generally, a sufficient dose. They are pecu
liarly adapted to the condition of all persons of sedentary ha
bits, either male or female, who, with scarcely a solitary ex
ception, suffer fiom a sluggish state of the bowels. They are
also recommended as particularly convenient to the traveller
in warm climates, or seasons, and fer 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 will do so, that they
will not fail to obtain the confidence, and prefe.rence of ninety
nine out of a hundred, oi nine hundred and uincty-niue out
of a thousand. As an alterative, or mild aperient, for correct
ing habitual or casual torpidity of the bowels, one pill taken
at bed tinuis 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
else.
For billious 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.
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 I 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 remedy 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 familv with the most happy results.
With me they have removed costiveness, checked effectu
ally diarrhea, and taken off bile as fully as calomel, withowt
producing the unpleasant effect that is usually produced by
that valuable medicine. I therefore believe them a valuable
medicine, and would recommend a trial of them, at least.
Respectfully, R. S. HARDWICK.
Milledgeville, 17th June, 1839.
1 am pleased with the opportunity of adding my testimony
to tho 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 ; and recently, in a sharp intermittent bilious fe
ver, w hich was entirely eradicated by them, in three or four
days, without tho aid of any other medicine, and cheerfully
recommend them as admirably adapted to tho cure of dys
peptic and bilious diseases. WM McMURRAY.
Having been recently attacked with strong bilious symp
toms, I used Dr. Haynes’ Pills with tho happiest effect, which
entirely relieved me, and which I do not hesitate to recom
mend as a valuable medicine.

Dr. C. E. Haynes; Sir—For several yeats past, I have
been afflicted wish obstinate costiveness of lhe bowels, often i
going from six to ten days without any discharge from them.
For several months, I ustld Dr. Peters’pills, and found them
useful to mo. Early last Spring I was induced to try your
Anti-dyspeptiC Pills, which I 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 heretofore used, and 1
give them a decided preference to any other remedy.

Powelton, July 15, 1839.
Dr. C. F.. Haynes:—lt affords me pleasure to state, that I
have repeatedly used your Anti-dyspeptic and Anti-bilious
pills, ami in every instance found immediate relief. 1 believe
them to he an excellent remedy in various diseases, and es
pecially in cases of asthma.
In high esteem, &c., &c.,

Dear Sir—l have used in my practice some of your altera
tive Anti-dyspeptic pills, and have uniformly found benefit to
my patients from their administration. I can therefore cheer
fully recommend them to the afflicted, as a valuable purgative
medicine. Very respectfully.

Hancock County, 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 any benefit from them.—
She then commenced taking Dr. C. E. Haynes’ Anti-Dys
peptic Pills about the fall of 1836, which relieved her entire
ly in the course of a few months.
R. MITCHEtty
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. (I believe them to be a good medicine.) Some 12
or 15 days past, I had strong symptoms of billious fever. I
took some of Peters’ Pills, aud not receiving any benefit from
them, I procured a box of your pills, and am happy to say
that they in a few days removed all symptoms of approach
ing sickness. I conceive them to be an invaluable medicine.
Yours with respect, THOS. M. TURNER.
Milledgeville, July 26, 1839.
Dr. Haynes, Sir: I take great pleasure in 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 I have ever given. Especially
in a recent case of menstrua! obstruction of long standing,
ineffectually treated by several distinguished physicians,
which was entirely relieved in a very few days, by the use of
your pills.
More recently still, I have given them iu the early stage of
billious fever, with entire success.
Your friend, ALFRED M. HORTON.
Milledgeville, 25th July, 1839.
Dr. C. E. Haynes; I have been hitherto induced by feel
ings of delicacy alone, to withhold 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, I think, justify me in now adding my own,
having experienced their benefits for a longer period than any
other individual, yourself only excepted.
In the spring of 1829, after having been afflicted from the
autumn of 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, I
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.
I have used them with great effect in my own family, in
cases of billious fever, dyspepsia and 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,
1 was induced by your brother to make a trial of your Anti-
Dyspeptic and Anti-Billious Pills, iu a severe billious attack,
and found them most efficient in removing the disease.
I have used them w ith great success, in several similar at
tacks since, as well as for cholic and disotders 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, in 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
