some cases, were other medical aid had been procured (through that
impatience which is so n atural to us all in illness) a return to the use
of the pills has been attended with complete success. We have now
tried them successfully fox every case of illness that has occurred in
our large family, during the last three years, and I am thoroughly
convinced of the soundness of the theory on which the pills are made;
and believe thlt if there be. a curable complaint the careful and judi-
cious use of the ' Vegetahle Medicine' will accomplish the cure.

FRAMPTON'S PILL OF HEALTH which
effectually relievers the stomach and bowels by gentle relaxa•

grateful to the stomach, promote digestion, create appetite, relieve
languor and depression of spirits ; while to those of a full habit, and

and singing in the head and ears, they offer advantages that will not
