DIR. DYoTrs ANTI-BILIoUs PILLS.

| n. DlOll
A s family medicine, mild and gentle purga-
IA tive, and purifier Of the blood. The general
use of these celebrated pills throughout the United
States for these forty years past and the strong
concentrations they have acquired from all classes
of our fellow-ciizens, places them in much more
elevated situation IN public estimation, than any
other remedy which has heretofore been introduced.
The following are among the many diseases for
which DR.. Dyott's celebrated pills are 30 deservedIy
distinguished for curing. By their counteracting
properties in removing the bile from the stomach,
they prevent and the bilious fever; chils, or
ague and fever spring and fall fevers; yellow fever;
bilious cholic; pleurisy; dyscntery; worms; bilious
vomiting; sick and foul stomach.
BY cleansing the bowels and stomach from all i'm
purlties, they restore the loss of appetite, remove
aatulency, the headache, habitua cos,iveness,
colds, coughs, asthma, epileptic fits, hypochondra,
By general and copious use, they will be found
very beneficial in curing the rheumatism and govt,
lumbago or pains in the back
All impurities in the blood yield to their happy
effects, whether proceeding from constitutional all
ment, or from indiscreet intemperance.
These celebrated pills have been used to very
great advantage in curing the dyspepsia or ndges-
ton, bronchitis, liver complaint, &c.
They infaible medicine for female com
plants generally, and especially for removing those
distractions which are the of their ailments
at certain periods they possess the eminent advan-
operate gently, they produce neither cosdveness de-
bihty, or too great excitement.
Whenever there is predisposition TO receive
disease from marsh efiluvia, or from too copious
use OF ardent Spirits from vitiated state of the
bile, these pills viii assuredly counteract it.
They are highly recommended to travellers by
sea or land, and may be made use of with safety
without change Of diet, and in situations where no
exercise can be used. They will be found particu-
larry valuable for preventing diseases incidental to
hot climates they deterge and cleanse viscid humors
open distractions, and promote the secretion OF
good bile, operate as an easy cathartic, a power
full diuretc, and diaphoretic.
DR. Dyott under the strong conviction of the
power of his pills to relieve the afflicted, recon-
mends the use Of them TO those who are in health
as well the afflicted, at leace fortnight du-
ring the spring and summer months, in which he
feels assured those who attend to his advice will
find the benefit they seek.
Take notice--each box is sealed with red wax,
stamped with the propretor's coat of arms, signed
