The only knomn Medicine that at the
Same ime Purges, Pmifes and
Strengthens the System!
DR. LIE ROY'S PILLS is a new
medicine which has just appeared,
aud is fast taking the place of others OF the
same class These pills are composed Of
many ingredients. but the principal ones
are Sarsaparila and Wild Cherry, so unit
ed that they act together-the one, thro'
it's admixture with other substances, Durl-
flying and purging, while the other sireng-
lheGs the system. Thus these pills are
at the same time tonic and opening; de-
sideratum long and eagerly sought for BY
medical men, but never before discover
ed. In other words, they do the work of
two medicines, and do it much better than
any two we know of; for they remove no.
thing from the system but the impurities :;
so that while they purge they strengthens:
and hence they cause no debiIitation, and
are followed by no reaction. Dr. LeRoy's
Pills have a wonderful influence on the
blood; they not only purify without weak
ening it. but they remove all noxious par
tcles from the chyle before it is converted
into fluid, and thus make impure blood an
utter impossibiIity. As there is no debiI-
tation, so there is no nausea or sickness
attending the operations of this most ex-
cellent of all medicines, which never
strains or tortures the digestive functions,
but causes them to work in a perfectly ma
tural manner, and hence persons taking
them do not become pale and emaciated,
but the contrary, for while it. Is the proper
ty of the Sarsaparilla, united as it is with
other ingredients, to remove all that is fo-
reign and impure, 1t is equally the proper
~ of the Wild Cherry to retain all that is
natural and sound, and hence a robust
state OF health is the certain result of their
united operations.
FROM THE LIVERPOOL MERCURY.
This popular Medicine, though but re-
Gently made public, has been long used
by DR.. LIE Roy in his own practice. Ii
removes all forms of Indigestion, as it
powerfully influences the Stomach, Head,
and Liver, and is General Aperient. A
single trial will prove its efficacy over
other popular remedies, and as it contains
nothing dangerous, it may be taken with
out medical advice, which in most cases
it renders unnecessary. For the usual
diseases, as Headache, Gout, Colds, Ner
vous complaints, &c, it is a certain RENE
dy, as it insures good digestion and free
circulation Of the blood II is likewise
peculiarly effective in correcting excess OF
diet, fatigue and anxiety, and, in short.
