4 NIIBILIOUS PILLS, invented by ED-
WARD HALLAM; Surgeon and. Apothecary. This
Preparation is justly - esteemed for its agreeable and certain
operation, by which it effectually removes all Inaction or
Obstruction of the Stomach and Bowels,-whether arising from
Bile,•lndigestion, Flatulency, or Cold; Sickness at Stomach,
Head-ache, &c. lt,operates by dislodging acrid bile or other
enmities retained in the intestinal canal, and acts as an
alterative ta•the system generally. • -Free fromanyantimonial
or tuercorial preparations, it is. at all times safe; and has,
been given 'with singular good effect during Pregnancy.—lts
action is particularly adapted to persons of" Bilious Habits,'
and those of sedentary lives, where a sufficient 'action of the
bowels is not kept up, and crudities retained in those organs
are frequently producing pains and distensions, head-•
aebse languor, and giddiness, or a sense of weariness and
oppression. - .
A single trial will fully convince the Patient of their efficacy.
The worst cases of Bilious or Sick Head. ACIIS are certainly
removtd by 41. single dose, and in a•muelt • shorter time than
could he credited, but, from experience.. The Proprietor
thinks it proper to remark, they Will'hd fistind WA only to act
withontTain.or uneasiness; 'hut to leave the bOtly,•atter their
immediate action ceases, free from that costive state which
generally succeeds the operation of laxative 'medicines.

" His 'Majesty!, health" was then drunk with applause.
" The Royal Family" was given, but some of the company
called for " the-Queen!' ' •
The ..Ctratismst said, that .heatas' so old :a.solrlier' that he

and'the gratificatinir Of: beholding; their RenefactOri; `caused
tears of sensibilitrto flow; lastly, Site procession was closed
by men, whose looks. pourtrayed the-gratitude, they felt to
those, to.whom they were so much and so lastingly indebted.
,A brilliant 'assemblage of Ladies had' been admitted into. a
gallery constructed for the purpose to view this affecting
spectacle... • •
