medicine been offered as specmic remedy for all
the diseases which flesh is heir to.
In Bilious Fever, enlargement Of the Liver,
.Iaundice, Bilious Cholic, Vomiting, Sick and
Foul Stomach attended with Headache, Dys-
pepsla and Costivcncss, Intlamr 'Gtion of tie Liv-

and bowels, and general health, dependent on
congestion Of the Liver and its circulation, the
Pocahontas Pill will perform the part of a spc-
