Country, which lay the foundation of the more formidable
and fatal Diseases; that the person who could discover-for
the relict. and cure a safe and infallible remedy would per-
torm a Most important service to society. That discbvery
has now been • made in the Patent A Pills of the
Rev. • •Williain.l3;irclay, tin: extensive sale or which, and
the high estimation in which they are deservedly held, has
considerably lessened the number of these Complaints; and
bids tairon a short time., to be the means of entirely eradi.

they act powerffilly and specifically on. the Bile, and thus
