THE BEST APERIENT AND ANTIBILIOIJS
I MEDICINE for general use is FRAMPTON'S PILL OF
HEALTH, which effectually relieves the stomach and bowels
by gentle relaxation, without griping or prostration of strength.
They remove head-ache, sickness, dizziness, pains in the chest,
&c., are highly grateful to the stomach, promote digestion,
create appetite, relieve langour and depression of spirits; while
to the se of a full habit and free livers, who are continually suf-
fering from drowsiness, heaviness, and singing in the head and
ears, they offer advantages that will not fail to be appreciated.
This medicine has for many years received the approval of
the most respectable classes of society; and in confirmation
of its-efficacy, the following letter has been kindly forwarded
to Mr. Prout, with permission to publish it, and if requisite to
refer any respectable person to its author:—
"To Mr. PROUT, 229, Strand, London.
" Heavitree, Exeter, April, 24, 1844.
" Sir,—l feel pleasure in being able to bear my strong and
unsolicited testimony to the excellence of your Frampton's
Pill of Health, which I consider a most safe, efficacious, and
very superior general medicine. The widow of an officer, an
elderly lady, and near relative of mine, has used them—very
rarely having recourse to other medicine for a long period of
years. She has recommended them extensively, and in one
instance in which she induced a person to adopt them, and sup.
plied the first box herself, they have proved of extraordinary
efficacy. I think that, perhaps, there is scarcely any other of
the many patent medicines before the public of equal value as
a friend in need;' certainly none possessed of superior claims
I shall be happy on all occasions to give them my,i.ndiiiidu:„.
recommendation; and am, Sir, your obedient servatit, ft
