Every sufferer is earnestly invite to try one box of

For females of all ages these Pills are invaluable, as
a few doses of them carry off all gross humours, open
all obstructions, and bring atout all that is required.
No female should be without them. There is no remedy
to be found to equal BE t 4, OH AM'S PILLS for removing
artY obstruction or irregularity cf the system. If taken
according to the directions given with each box, th. y
will soon resto:e females of all ages to sound and ro
bust health.
For a weak Stomach, impaired digestion, and all dis-
orders of the liver, they act like "MAGIC," and a few
!loses will be found to work wonders upon the most
important organs in the humau machine. They
strengthen the whole muscular system, restore the
long-lost complexion, bring back the keen edge of
appetite, and arouse into action, with the Rossetti:l of
health, the whole physical et ergy of the human frame.
These are "FACTS" admitted by thousands embracing
