THE POOR MAN'S PILL

Is an unrivalled antibilinus medicine, introduced in recom-
P.iended by Abernethy and the Faculty. Its efficacy is remarkable
in those maladies winch depend upon the purity of the blood and a
disordered condition of the stomach and bowels, inducing, as inevi•
table consequences, indigestion, head-ache, acidity upon the sto-
mach, heartburn, flatulency, nausea, lowness of spirits, aid cuta-
neous eruptions. The most delicate female, when an aperient is
required, may at all times have recourse to them. To individuals
travelling, more particularly seafaring persons, when, from change
of habit and climate, the liver and bowels become inactive, they
will. prove of invaluable service. The Medical Editor of the

" Weekly Chronicle," in speaking of this medicine, which has now
become the National Medium of Health, observes—" We have
ascertained, as far as chemical analysis can extend, the ingredients
constituting the preparation called the Poor Man's Pill, and find
that they contain all that is required for a sec and active aperient.
In such a character we believe it s'ilinds unrivalled, and there is no
dAuld filet in a shtirt time it nast becotfa-the most popular of
Family Medicines."

In the following maladies, they have in innumerable instances
been found to give immediate and extraordinary benefit :—Ab-
scesses. ague, asthmas, bilious complaints, blotches on the skin,
boils, bowel complaints, constipation of bowels, consumptions,
convulsions, cramps, debility, dysentery, erysipelas, faintings, gid-
diness, glandular swellings, gout, headache, heartburn, hoarseness,
hypochondria, indigestion, inflammations, jaundice, languor,
le'hargy, liver complaints, low spirits, lumbago, nervous affections,
pains in the bones, palpitations, phlegm, piles, rheumatism, scro •
fula, sore throats, tremblings, tumours, ulcers of all kinds, and
worms of every kind.

To the Proprietor of the Poor Alan's Pill.
Sir,—Having considered your proposition that I should become
the agsnt for this district for the sale of the Poor 'Alan's Pill,
I beg leave to state that lam willing to accept of the agency. It
is necessary, however, that I should candidly and explicitly avow
my sentiments en this subject. I feel disinclined, and consider it
unjust to recommend others to take a medicine that. I am not pre-
pared to take myself, and I strongly deprecate puffing Patent Medi-
cines into notice as specifies for all sorts of complaints': I o‘ought it
my duty to make myself experimentally acquainted with the ♦irtues
of the Poor Man's Pills before I consented t• sell them. This will
account for the delay in answering your application. I believe,
generally speaking, the less medicine a person takes the better.
Those who enjoy tolerable health, however, sometimes require a
little ope>ling medicine, and as it is well known that headaches and
many other inconveniecces result from costi►eness, there always will
be popular medicines in general u•c. to obviate the necessity and
expenee of applying to a doctor. Having adopted the Poor Alan's
Pill in my own family, I can unhesitatingly affirm that I have found
it a gentle and efficacious aperient, which, when taken, will afford
immediate relief; those who unfortunately are afflicted with more
serious complaints, will doubtless speak of the Poor Man's Pill
more specifically ; but I can very sincerely bear testimony to their
excellence as the cheapest and most useful aperient. Under these
circumstances I am induced to recommend their universal adoption
and use in families, as the most valuable of domestic medicines.

I am, Sir, your Obedient servant,
H. HETHERINGTON.
