—These invaluable pills exert a greater and more beneficial
influence over nervous disorders than any other medicine.

They completely purify the blood, purify both head and
stomach of all faulty functione, and expel all oppressive
accumulations from the bowels, With the blood purified
and all poisons purged from the system regularity must
prevail throughout the body, aches and pains must cease,
healthful energy must supplant weariness, and the shaky
nerves must regain their wholesome tone. A (mires of
tiles,' pills eradicates low spirits, nervous excitability,
hygtozies, neuralgic twitches, and other derangements de-
pendent on nervous maladies, which every considerate per-
NCE may thus certainly remove.
