SSUGAR-COATED PILLS.-Dr. G. BENJAMIN
- "Smith's sugar-coated Indian vegetable pills.
are now the fayorite medicine of this country.
Many new remedies have been discovered and puff
ed into brief notoriety, but we have no knowledge
of medicine combining so much that is effcacous
and pleasant as these pills. The idea of taking
pills heretofore has been nauseating in the highest
degree. Much credit is due DR.. Smith for bringing
out this valuable medicine. We know Of more than
twenty cures Of diseases considered by other doc
tors as dangerous-one case of confirmed dyspepsia,
in particular, which came under our own immediate
knowledge,
We have tried them ourselves, and in our family,
for headache, colds, and pans'in the side and breast
and we can say we never saw their equal, both for
pleasantness and efficacy.
One word in reference to those wholesale murder
ers, who, not having honesty enough TO work for
an independent livelihood, counterfeit or initiate
such valuable remedies as DR.. Smiths pills. "Su.
gar-coated" pills originated with DR.. G. Benjamin
Smith, who applied for patent long before any
body else ever heard Of them; therefore, it will be
seen that all other pills claiming to be "sugar cont
ed" are spurious and dangerous and we advise
those who buy to examine carefully the box for
themselves and see that Dr. Smiths name is on ii.
