DIR. 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, and save many valuable
lives.
These pills were compounded by Dr. Gordon af
ter years OF study and careful observation upon the
nature of different medicines, and the effect which
they produce upon different constitutions in various
forms Of disease. They have been extensively used
by some Of our most eminent physicians, ard by
macy private families for several years and such has
been the satisfaction which they have given, that 1t
is firmly believed that the vegetable kingdom does
not furnish auy materials for purgative medicine,
which SURPRISES for general use, those Of which
these Pills are, composed. They do not contain
Calomel, mercury or any mineral preparation; but
are cempOsee entirely Of concentrated ex-
tracts carefully prepared and SO combined as to be
Certain, Safe aud Easy IN their oPeFatlon-shouid
Il be otherwise, the stomach and bowels contain
foul and acid bilious understanding great neces-
sity COZ puFgative medicine.
The bowels being the principal channel through
which great portion Of tie impurities OF the sys-
tenn are discharged it IS evident that whatever acts
benefcially upon them must be conducive 70 health
And as the bowels arethe most etectuaL and IN
fact, almost the only way by winch general lnl-
preston can be made upon the system, i IS perfectly
reasonable to suppose that nearly all diseases will
be cured, or az least, much benefited by udcion'
use Of pnrsa tye medicines, Ifa physician is call.
ed 70 4 patient, what is the first thing done? lie
prescribes dose or two Of purga;iVe medicines; and
ihen after day or two, # tho patient IS no better
he gives him another dose Of pnrgatve medicine
and 50 on; dome sumo other little things-but the
main reliance for cure is upon the effect produced

cures with them, that he isinduced 10 offer
them 10 the public, as certain and efectual
remedy for Intermittent or Ague and Fever.
In cases1 where be has used these pills. he
has never failed to cure the patient in twens
ty-fonr hours, and, in many instances. he
has accomplished the most wonderful cures
in the short space of tweIves hours; in proof
Of which, he could, if necessary, procure
certificates from every one of those 10 whom
he has administered this valuable medicine.
bnt he deem them both superfuous and pro-
fitless. A long catalogue of letters, attest.
ing their efficacy, would seem to partake
too much of the clapstrap means resorted TO
in order 70 bolster up the poisonous nostrums
that are daily sent forth to the world pro-
Tossing to cure as many cases as there are
subjects to operate upon. These pills need
only to be tested to establish their. character.
They possess such singular. and admirable
qualities, that no unpleasant feelings are
produced by them upon the patient. They
never nauseate or sicken the stomach, or
oparate on the bowels as Ia purgative; the
patient, without experiencing any uneast-
ness whatever from them, finds himself sud.
denly cured.
