URANIPTON'S PILL OF HEALTH.- " For upwards of nine years (writes Mr. Thomas Province of Winchtnore-hill, Middlesex) I have experienced the efficacy of this excellent medicine, and I have the happiness of saying that I never had a better state of health, which I attribute to Frump• ton's pills. I beg further to add, that this medicine is in gaaersl use by my family, and we know of nothing to equal it." 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 sight, nervous affections, blotches, pimples, and sallowness of the skin,and gives a healthy juvenile bloom to the complexion.
