DIR. Gordan's Pills are truly the sick
mans friend. No traveller or family
should be without them. Their timely
administration will prevent much pain
and suffering, and save many valuable
lives. These pills were compounded by
Dir. Gordan after years Of study and care
fu observation upon the nature of differ
eut medicines, and the effect which they
produce upon different constitutions in va
rous forms of disease. They have been
extensively used by some of our most
eminent physicians, and by many private
families for several years; and such has
been the satisfaction which they have Civ
en-, that it is firmly believed that the We
gelable kingdom does notiurnlsh any mate
rials for medicine, for purgative medl-
cine which surpasses for general use, those
of which these pills are composed. They
do not contain calomel, mercury or any
mineral preparations; but are composed
entirely of concentrated vegetable ex,
tracts, carefully prepared and so combin-
ed as TO be certain, safe and easy in their
operaton-should it be otherwise, the
stomach and bowels contain foul and acrd
bilious maitel-showing great necessity
for purgative medicine.
These pills do not require particular
attention to diet or drink, and may be ta-
ken at all times when most convenient,
without the fear of increased liability to
take cold.
1t is asserted by many that levers, and
in fact, all diseases are caused by an I'M
pure state of the blood. The impurities
which usually pass offby the bowels and
various other outlets, being retained in
the blood, renders il unfit for the nourlsIl-
ment and support Of the different parts Of
the body. This produces disease, and
that part of the system which is the weak
est is most easily affected
The bowels being the principal channel
through which great portion of the impu-
rites Of the system are discharged, ii Is
evident that whatever acts bcnefcially on
them, must be conducive to health.
And as the bowels are the most etfectual,
and in fact, almost the only way by which
general impression can be made Upon
the system, it is perfectly reasonable 10
suppose, that nearly all diseases will be
cured. or at least, much benefited by a
iudicious use of puratgive medicines. liza
physician is called 10 a patient, what is the
first thing done? He prescribes dose
or two OF purgative medicines, and then
after day or two, if the patientls no bet
ter, he gives him another dose OF purga-
tive medicine, and so on; doing some other
little things; but the main reliance for a
cure is upon the effect produced by pur-
gative medicines. Therefore if you arc
sick, delay not, but take few doses o!
DIR. Gordon's Vegetable Family pills, and
be again restorted to health. Price % cts
