VEGETABLE UNIVERSAL PILLS.
The only hnos5n medicine that at The same time pur
ges, purlfes, and strengthens the system.
nR. LIE ROY'S Pills are new medicine
IL which has just appeared and is fast taking
the places of all others of the same class. These
pills are composed of many ingredients, but the
two principal ones are Sarsaparila and Wild Cher
ry, united that they together the one, through
its admixture with other substances, purifying and
purging, while the othor is Strengthening the sys
tenn. Thus those pills are at the same time tonic
and opening; a desideratum long and eagerly
sought for by medicinal men, but never before dis
covered. In other words they do the work of the
two medicines, and do it much better than any
two we know of; for they remove nothing from the
system but the impurities; so that while they purge
they strengthen and hence they cause no debii-
ta,on, and are followed by no reaction. DR.. lie
Roy's Pills have wonderful irfuence on the
blood they not only purify without weakening 1t,
but they remove all noxious particles from the
chyle before it is converted into fluid, and thus
makes impure blood an utter impossbiity.. AS
there is no debilitation, so there is no nausea
or sickness attending the Operations of this most
excellent of medicines, which never strains or
tortures the digestive functions, but causes them
to work in perfectly natural manner and hence
persons taking them do not become pale and
emaciated. but the contrary; for while il is the
property of the Sarsaparilla, united as 1t is with
other ingredients, to all that is foreign and
impure, ii is equally the property ofthe Wild Cher
to retain all that is natural and sound aud hence
robost state of health is the certain result theil
united operations.
