THESE PILLS are compounded from the ■L recipe of one of the most eminent physicians of the present day (who, from purely philanthropic motives— knowing their excellent properties by experience haa been induced to give the benefit of them to the public at arge). They are prepared by an able and experienced chemist, and are acknowledged, by the faculty, to be the most valuable medicine for all disorders of the stomach, and derangements of the liver, ever prepared. It is a well-known fact that most of the diseases incident to the human race, arise from a disordered stomach, and irregular state of the bowels, and for want of a suitable remedy, taken in time, thousands of (at first) simple mala- dies, become serious illnesses. To guard against this great evil, and to preserve the blessings of health, these pills are confidently and earnestly recommended. They act generally on the constitution, cleanse the blood of all impurities; regulate the secretions, and give tone to the stomaeh; correct the morbid condition of the liver, regulate the bowels, and, by removing all impediments, restore elasticity and vigour to the whole frame. Sold in Boxes (with directions for use) ls.lld. and 7 £ d, each. (A. Saving by taking the Large Size). Sold Wholesale by Messrs. BARCLAY & Sow, LOHDOJT and Retail by all Medicine Vendors.

MARIA RICHARDS. Chvehelog, near Usk, December, 1859. SM-After suffering f"r several yeara from acute pains in my aide, Dick, ch^st, and stomach, and after calling in several meoical men, and trying every remedy, I still suffered severely .r..m the complaints.
