PARR'S LIFE PILLS.
THE POPULAR MEDICINE.

rpnE following important testimony to the efficacy
1 of PARR'S LIFE PILLS, has just been received by the
Proprietors :
" To Messrs. T. Roberts and Co., London.
" Athlone, December 7th, 1846.
" Sirs,—You will please send me six dozen more PARR'S
LIFE PILLS ; I am just out. They are taking well, and I can
assure you. they are doing an immensity of good ; every one
who has tried them in affections of the Liver and the Stomach
derive a great deal of benefit.—Yours, &c.,
" WILLIAM GILCHRIST, Apothecary and Surgeon."

The extraordinary properties of this medicine are thus de-
scribed by an eminent physician, who says " After particular
observation of the action of PARR'S PILLS I am determined
in my opinion that the following are their true properties :
" First,—They increase the strength, while most other medi-
cines have a weakening effect upon the system, Let any one
take from three to four or six pills every twenty-four hours,
and, instead of having weakened, they will be found to have
revived the animal spirits, and to have imparted a lasting
strength to the body.
" Secondly,—ln their operation they go direct to the disease.
After you have taken six or twelve pills you will experience
their effect ; the disease upon you will become less and less by
every dose you take, and if you will persevere in regularly
taking from three to six pills every day, your disease will be
entirely removed from the system.
" Thirdly,—They are found, after giving them a fair triai for
a few weeks, to possess the most astonishing and invigorating
properties, and they will overcome all obstinate complaints,
and restore sound health ; there is a return of good appetite
shortly from the beginning of their use, whilst their mildness
as a purgative is a desideratum greatly required by the weak
and delicate, particularly where violent purging is acknowledged
to he injurious instead of beneficial.
" Fourthly,—As a general Family Medicine they are exceed-
ingly valuable, and no family should be without them, for they
may be used with perfect safety in any disease, for to every
disease they are of inestimable value. John Dale, Esq., of
Manchester, Lecturer on Chemistry, and pupil of the celebrated
Dr. Dalton, F.R.S., in a letter, addressed to the Proprietor, in
London, says :-4 I hz,g to state I find them worthy of being
recommended to the public for their efficacy and simplicity,
and to be really vegetable pills, containing, as they do, nothing
but what is of vegetable origin.' With this assurance thepub-
lic need have no fear of giving them a fair trial.
"Fifthly,—There is no medicine ever introduced to the public
that has become so universally popular with females as PARR'S
LIFE LILLS. For all complaints peculiar to females they are
of most astonishing efficacy; and they are confidently recom-
mended to them for general use. A trial of a box of these pills
will at once prove the truth of this assertion."
