IA tive, and purifier of the blood. The general
Of these celebrated pills throughout the United

concentrations they have acquired from all classes
Of our fellow-citizens, 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 DIR. Dyotts celebrated pills deservedly

very beneficial in curing the rheumatism and govt,
lumbogo 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 indges-
tion, bronchitis, liver complaint, &c.
