DIR. pYoTT,s ANTl-BILIous PILLS.

A 8 family medicine, a 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 rec
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 Dr. Dyot's celebrated pills are SO deservedly
distinguished for curing. By their counteracting
they prevent and cure the bilious fever; chills, or
ague and fever spring and fall feyers; yellow fever;
bilious cholic; peursy; dysentery; worms; bilious
vomiting; sick and foul stomach.
By cleansing the bowels and stomach from all i'm
purtes, they restore the loss of appetite, remove
aatulency, the headache, habtual oostiveness,
colds, coughs asthma, epileptc fits, hypochondria,
hysterical complaints, stranguary, gravel, &c.
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, ndiges-
ton, bronchitis, liver complaint, &c.
They are an infallible medicine for female com.
plants generally, and especially for removing those
distractions which are the source of their ailments
at certain periods they possess the eminent advan-
operate gently they produce neither cosiveness, de-
bility, or too great excitement.
Whenever there is a predispostion TO receive
disease from marsh efiuvia, or from too copious
use of ardent spirits, from a vtiated state of the
bile, these pills will 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 partcu-
larly valuable for preventing diseases incidental to
hot climates; they deterge and cleanse vscid humors
open Instructions, and promote the secretion OF
good bile, operate as an easy catharuc, power
full diuretic, and as 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
well the afflicted, at leace once 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.
