VEGETABLE ANTI BILIOUS
FAMILY PULLS,

nR GORDON'S PILLS are truly the sick man.
~ friend No Trav eer or Family should be without
them Their timely administration will prevent much
pam and suffering, aud 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 differ. constitutions various forms Of disease
They have been cxtcns vcly used by OF
emn mt Physicians and b, many private families for
several years. and such has been the which
they have gwen, that is firmly believed that the e
etaole Kingdom do,s not furnish materials for
save medicine which surpass,s Tor general use, those
OF which these pills are composed. They do not
tain Calonel, Mercury, any mineral cparatious
but are composed entirely of concentrated veg table
tain Safe, aud Easy in their OF !, be
otherwise, the stomach and bowels contain foul and
acrd bilious showing great necessity for pur
gativc medicine.
These Pills do require particular attention to diet
or drink and may b. taken at all times when most
convenient without the fear Of increased liability to take
cold.
1t is asserted by many that Fevcrs. and in fact all
diseasesare caused by impure state of the blood
The impurities which usually pass off by the bowc and
various other outlets being retained in the blood,
dcrs II unfit for the nourishmcn and support OF the diff
fcrent parts Of the body. This produces diseascand
that part OF the system which is weakest ismost easily
affected.
The Bowels being the principal channel through
which great portion Of the impurities OF the system
are discharged il is evident that whatever ben,
cally them must BE- conductive to health nd as
the Bowels the cicctual, and in fact, almost
the only way by which general impression be
made upon the system II is perfectly reasonable
pose that nearly all diseases will be cured least
much benefited by audicous purga,iv
IL physician called TO patient what the first thing
done? He prescrbcs dose two Of purgative medi-
cines; and then, after day two, if the patient
better, he gives him another dose Of purga,ive di
cine, aud so doing some other little thingsbut the
main reliance for is upon the effect produced by
purgative medicines. Therefore il you sick, delay
not, but take few doses of DIR. Gordons Vegetable
Family Pills. and be again restored 10 health.
