HEALTH PILLS OF DR.. RUSH.

They are mild in their operation, never gripping
giving the least pain, and yet effcacious, in con-
sequence of the happy combination of medicinal
agents, that they enabled to carry off all the vi

changes which may have been induced, equaze the
circulation, restore healthy action to all the excre-
tory organs, and promote more vigorous perform
ance of the organic functions
