VEGETABLE UNIVERSAL FILLS.
IT In (ri'tinrully known I hut my BinndMhw was the
nrixitiul iiiveutor of these romurkiihle pills.
He wits astieiitillc mttn, aud u iiietlhuil pi-Hctitlouer
of the Old Seliool. Jiitt becoming aluriiiinl Ht the niur
talit v tlmt attended the KltwiliiiK and Mineral Prac
tice, he turned hie attention to the study of nature and
the philosophy of disease, na aim to the natural reme
dial aifcntu which lie found to exist exclusively in the
Veueutble KiiiKilout. In his reneiirches and Investi
gations, lie btratue fully satisfied tlmt the life wua in
the blood: dial bv whulevar name discuses were dis-
tiiiKiiishcd, iuipnritv of the blood waa the source of
all a simpie and truthful doctrine, which, in rmliiiliiir
all diRPiiM-a to a nnit. necessarily established the fact
that all were.to he treated on the same general prin
ciple, vis. liy piiriration.
Now the xrund dilluulty consisted lu devishiK a veg
etable oooipoiiiid that would iuvi)(omte, purity, und
lenn the lilood, correct and regulate all the differ
ent secretions, and hy purgation discharge the. whole
iiiiimi of morbid matter from the body, withimt rodiie
ing the strength. Aftor thirty yeurs of climo applica
tion, bo considered hie oldeot fully accomplished in
the production ol then? pills, which Iiuvq uow been
before the oublic Qua Uuudred and Fourteen Yean,
and it is now (lHlio nearly 'M years since In. Uruu
dreLh'n Vegetable Universal Life Preserving Pills
were first presented in the American publicduring
whlrn time their superior excellence auu vtrtnea nave
been extensively proclainmd by puiiere and pamphlets,
and a rapid yearly increase of the sale of them ef
fected. To know what will nave life, to know what will
restore lieuhh, la a knowledge not to b hidden, I,
theretora, as a man desiring to do my duty faltlifnlly,
liave dotted down some of my thirty-lire years' expe
rience with Urandreth's Pills, which Hie 'an effectual
assistant of nature, and cause the extmlsiou of ae.ri.
nionioua humors the oecaaiou of every sickness. Let
is admit that corrupt humors prevent the free circula
tion of the blood, that Urandreth's Pills take nut
these humors, giving heulth for puin, and strength for
vteaKtiess.
No tmtn is sick save when the nrincinle of corrup
tion gels the ascendency: Hmndreth's Fills aid the
Life Princioleto reiotin theeuiuiie bv removing the
corrupt humors from the body. Many a time I have
aeen life apparently at the last, ebb, when these Fills
were given, and in n few hours the danger was east,
and health's Hood tide gnve the patient renewed life
ami vigor. Many are the fathers, mothers, sons, aud
daughters, thus saved. '
These celebrated Fills are composed wholly of me
dicinal herbs, and do not oontain any mercury or other
mineral, being perfectly harmless to the most tender
oire or weakest frame; yet snre to search out the cause
of sickness, und restore the health if taken according
to the directions.
Let no one imagine thex are too weak to bear the
fleet of these Fills, which put no weakness inui the
frame, but draws weakness out. A few doses will be
get confidence, aud then the beauties of purgation will
gradually become unfolded to our view, which, en
forced with Urandreth's Vegetable Universnl Fills, is
able to cure every disease where the orgaus are sound,
aud irrciulv increase the averaue of liuuiuu life.
I have uow used on my own person, aud prepared
ai d administered, Urandreth's Fills for thirty-live
years. I believe they are the best purgative in the
world: and with this medical quality they have also
a tonic etfi-ct. Ami us I am of the lirm oninion that
inflummntion and fuvera are caused by corrupted
blood not being timely evacuated, because it regurgi
tatea, so to speuk. over the whole body, and thus cor
runta the sound blood that should nourish all the mem
bers, and actually destroys and paralyzes members or
organs that are unsound'; und ns 1 know that these
Pills have a direct effect to remove all corrupt blood
4tnd acrimonious humors from the body in fact, all
humors below the vital standard of health; so I Bhould
lie guilty of a great sin, did 1 not do nil in my power
to propagate the use of a medicine which is possessed
of properties so calculated to save and increase the
average of nuninn lite.

upon the presumption that our good "Deinw

Hunuencira in coin, which, uelng hardly sun

At first sit-lit, thi. looks like a heavy halanc

what the items nf thi tax consist uf and se
whether Ihe diffeieuao is not more apparent

been extra demand for this balance, Aud in
