I beg further to add, that this medicine is in general nee by my family, and we know of nothing to equal it." k For females these pills are truly excellent, removing all ob structions, the distressing headache so very prevalent with the sex, depression of spirits, dulness of Might, nervous affections, blotches, pimples, and sallowness of the skin, and gives a healthy juvenile bloom to the complexion.
