RiH.r's A'TT,BILI0US PILLS
THIS Medicine has been attended
with degree of success highly grateful
TO the inventor feelings ia several paris

The testimony of a number ct person
can be addv, who have reason to be-
Iieve that timely use Of this salutary e.
NEEDY has, under Providence, preserved
their lives when in the most alarming Gil
cumstances.
Facts of this conclusive nature speak
more in favour Of medicine, than CO.
!umns of pompous eulcgy founded Oh
mere assertion.
1t is not indeed presumptuously pro-
posed as an infallible cure, but the inven-
Tor has every possible reason that can re-
suit from extensive experience for be-
lieying that dose Of these Pills taken
once in every two weeks during the pre-
valence of our bilious fevers, viii prove
an intallible preventive; and further,
that in the earlier stages Of those diseases
their use will very generally succeed in
restoring health, aud frequently ia cases
esteemed desperate AID beyond the pow
err of common remedies.
The operation Of these pills is perfectly
mild. so as to be used with safety by per-
Sons in every situation and Of every age.
They are excellently adapted to carry
OF superlluous bile and prevent its NOR
bid secretiOns-to restore and amend the

and thereby prevent colds which are OF
ten of fatal consequences. A dose never
fails ts remove cold il taken on its tlrst
appearance :they are celebrated for re-
moving habitual costiveness-sickness at
the stomach and severe head-ache-and
ought TO be taken by all persons on a
change Of climate.
They have been found remarkably ell
catious in preventing and curing disor.
ders attendant on long voyages, and
should be procured and carefully presery-
