VEGETABLE ANTI-BILI0US
yAMIlLY PILLS.

nR. GoRDoN'S PILLS are truly the sick mans
- friend. No Traveller or Family should be without
them Their timely administration will prevent much
pam and suffering, and save many valuable lives.
These Pills were compounded by DR.. Gordon after
years OF study and careful observation upon the
OF different medicines and the effect which they produce
upon different constitutions various forms of disease
They have been extensively used by Of our most
eminent Physicians, 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 Kingdom does not furnish any materials for pur
gatve medicine which surpasses for general USE those
OF which these pills are composed. They do not
tain Calomel Mercury any mineral pre- parations
but arc composed entirely of vegetable
tracts carefully prepared and combined to be Ger
tain Safe and Easy in their should il be
otherwise, the stomach and bowels contain foul and
gative medicine.
These Pills do require particular attention to diet
or drink and may be taken at all times when most
convenient without the fear of increased liability TO take
cold.
1t is asserted by many that Fevers, and in fact, all
diseases are caused by an impure state of the blood
The impurities which usually pass oil by the bowe and
various other outlets being retained the blood
ders IL unfit for the pourisbmcnt support of the diff
ferent parts of the body This produces disease and
that part OF the stem which is weakest ismost easily
affected.
The Bowels being the principal channel through
which great portion of the impurities of the system
are discharged If is evident that whatever acts bcne
cially on them must be conductive to health.Aud
the Bowels the most eiicctual, and in fact almost
the only way by which general Impression be
made upon the SYSTEM il is perfectly reasonable
pose that nearly all diseases will be cured, least
much benefited by audicous OF purgatve medicines.

HE NErrLE.-The Nette is generally consi
dered by farmers and gardeners as a useless and
troublesome weed; but it needs little argument to
prove that the most common gifts of providence are
often the most useful to mankind The common
singing nettle is one of the best medicines which
IS produced in the Vegetable kingdom, and its me-
dical qualities ought to be more generally known
and appreciated. In the form OF simple weak in
fuslon taken in the quantity of pint day, it acts
as an alternative and deobsruent in impurities of the
blood. a strong decocon taken in the same o,an
tity proves an admirable strengthened in general or
partial relaxation. Applied as fermentation or
Poultice, it relieves swellings and abates namma-
tons, and the expressed juice, taken in spoonfuls
as the exgency of the case may require, in inter
nal bleedings is the most powerful styptic known.
we may add that Its leaves when boiled, are con-
verted into tender, healthy, and nourishinp ali
Inent, grateful to the palate. And yet there are
few plants whose appearance is viewed by the far
mer with more disgust than the singing nette.
