GO R DON,
VEGETABLE ANTI-BILIOUS
TAMI!LY PILLS.

DR. GoRDON'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, aud save many valuable lives.
These Pills were compounded by DIR. Gordon after
years Of study and careful observation upon the
OF difc medicines and the effect produce
upon different constitutions various forms of disease
They have been extensively used by of bur most
eminent Physlcans, and BY many private families for
several years. and such has been the satisfaction which
they have given, that is firmly believed that the veg
etaole does not furnish any materials for pur
geye %edcne whch SURPRISES those
tain Cslomel, Mercury, or any mineral preparations
but are composed entirely Of
tracts carefully prepared and combined as tobe Ger
tam, oae ana Easy IN their operations, shodd il be
otherwise. the stomach and bowels contain foul and
acrd bilious misunderstanding great necessity for pur.
gative medicine.
These Pills do not require particular attention 10 diet
or drink and may be taken all times when mos,
convenient without the fear Of increased liability to take
cold ~
1t is asserted by many that Fcvers, and in fact ali
diseases are caused by impure Of the blood
The Impurities which usually pass off by the bowels and
various other outlets being retained in the blood rem
ders unfit for the nourshmcnt and support of the diff
ferent parts Of the body. This produces discase-at
affected.
| The Bowels being the principal channel through
which great portion of the impurities of the system
are discharged is evident that whatever acts bcns
ciany on them must be conductive health.-And a.
the Bowels the most efcctual, and in fact atmos
the only way by which general impression can b,

pose that nearly all diseases will cured OF at
