T is well known that diseases often arise from
foul and disordered state of the stomach and
bowels; and if this condition is promptly attended
to and relieved, that health will be Immediately
restored. And nothing more efiectual can be re-
sorted to than two or three good active doses of
purgative medicine; and there is nothing more
suitable than pills of a proper character. The
public have in these vegetable pills the article pre-
scented 70 them, which possesses the qualities ca-
culated TO render the most important service in
cleansing the alimentary canal; they will operate
with sufficient force. and still with safety
rhere is no ingredient in them that will render
them dangerous to taking cold, cause any
particular care in diet necessary. They have been
used by the proprietor with abundant success in
an extensive medical practice for many years
He can therefore confidently recommend them
to the public patronage. 1t is not Vany pretend
ed that they will cure all diseases, but they will
answer the purposes for which they are offered as
we'll as any purgatVe medicine that can be produ
ced and by being taken When that description of
medicine is needed, may save person from threa-
tened disease at a very small expense and without
loss of time. A person can take them without
any interruption of his customary employment.

Recommendation.
We do hereby certify that we have used Doctor
Spencer's vegetable pills; and found them a safe
and active puTgative, attended with beneficial re-
suits, and we therefore recommend them to notice.
