ARE the cheapest and most approved Faml-
~ Medicine ever offered to the public
They are extremely mild in their operas
ton, neither causing sickness of the sto-
mach, nor any unpleasant sensation in the
system, as is too frequently the case with
medicines given 10 act upon the bowels
hence muIlitudes, who have been unable
to take other pills or preparations of me-
dcine, on account of their nauseating ei-
fects, use these pills without the slightest
disagreeabe feelings.
BY their manifest and sensible action
upon the chyle, which is the fountain head
Of health or disease, they may justly be
considered Universal Medicine, and the
complaints that come most directly under
their influence, and for which they are SO
particularly designed, are as follows;-
Bilious Fever, Fever and Ague, Dyspep-
STA, Liver Complaint, Sick Headache, En-.
Iargement of the Spleen, Jaundice, Asth-
ma, Dropsy, Rheumatism, Piles, Cholic,
Bowel and Summer Complaints, Female
Distractions, Heartburn, Nausea, Furred
On8ue, DlSlCusluH VI tuG HlolloNh uiu
Bowels, Incipient Diarrhna, Flatulence,
Iabitual Cosiiyeness, Loss of Appetite,
Botched or Sallow Complexion, and in all
cases of Torpor of the Bowels, where a
catharlic or operient medicine is.needed. .
As many of the above enumerated dis
eases come on imperceptibly, and become
far advanced in their progress before it
is suspected that they exist in the system,
no one should expect, in such cases, TO be
at once relieved entirely, but should CONT
nue. the use of the pills Tor considerable
length of time. Full directions accom-
pany each box, for the use of the pills,
in all these complaints for which they are
recommended.
