ILL
The operation OF these Pills is perfectly mild so
that they may be used with safety by persons in
every situation, and of every age.
They are excellently adapted to carry OH SUPER

restore and amend the appetite--to procure free
perspiration, and thereby prevent colds, which Of
ten have fatal consequences, dose never tails to
remove cold, if taken on its first appearance.
They are celebrated for removing habitual cos
tiyeness, sickness at the stomach, and severe head
ache, and ought to be taken by all persons on a
change of climate.
AZ dose ofthese pills, taken once every two weeks,
during the prevalence of our bilious fevers, will
prove an inialable preventiye and in the earlier
stages of those diseases, their use will very geAer
ally succeed in restoring health, and frequently in
cases esteemed desperate, and beyond the power OF
common remedies.
They are found remarkably cfficacious in pre-
venting and curing disorders attendant on long voy-
ages, and should be procured, and carefully pre-
served for use by every seaman.
