three doses- will convince the afflicted of its salutary effects.
The Stomach will speedily regain its strength; a healthy
action of the Liver, Bowels, and Kidneys will rapidly take
place; and instead of listlessness, heat, pain, and jaundiced
appearance, strength, activity, and renewed health will be
the quick result of taking this Medicine according to the
directions accompanying each box.
These Pills are particularly efficacious for Stomach Coughs,
Colds, Agues, Shortness of Breath, and all obstructions in
the Urinary Passages; and if taken after too free anindul-
gence at table, they quickly restore the system to its natural
state of repose.
Persons of a FULL HABIT, who are subject to Head-
ache, Giddiness. Drowsiness, and Singing in the Ears, ari-
sing from too great a flow of Blood to the Head, should never
be without them, as many dangerous symptoms will be en-
tirely carried off by their immediate use.'

prevalent with the sex, Depression of Spirits, Dulness of

best medicine that can be taken during pregnancy; and for
Children of all ages they are unequalled.
As a pleasant, safe, easy Aperient, they unite the recom-
mendation of a mild operation with the most successful effect,
and require no restraint of diet or confinement during their
use. By regulating the dose according to the age and
strength of the patient, they become suitable for. every case,
in either sex, that can be required; and for ELDERLY
