nR. GORDON'S PILLS are truly the sick
IL mans friend. No Traveller or Family
should be without them. Their timely adj
ministration will prevent much pain and suf-
fering. and save many valuable lives
These Pills were compounded by DR.. Cor
don after years of study and careful observa
ton upon the nature of different medicines,
and the effect Which they produce upon diff
Observation-Disclosures in various forms of dis
ease. They have been extensively used by
some of our most eminent Physicians, and bv
many private families for several years; and
such has been the satisfaction which thew
have given, that it is firmly believed that the
vegetable kingdom does not furnish any ma
terials for purgative medicine, which sur
passes for general use, those of which these
pills are composed. They do not contain
Calomel, Mercury or any mineral preparation;
, but are composed Of concentrated vegetable
extracts, carefully prepared and so combined
as to be Certain, Safe and Easy in their oper-
atiom,-should it be otherwise, the stomach
and bow els contain foul add acrid bilious mat
! e-showing great necessity for purgative
medicine.
! These Pals do not require particular atten.
| ton 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 IL
! sually pass of by the bowels and various 9th
err outlets. being retained in the blood, rem,
ders it unfit for the nourshment and support
of the different parts OF the body. Thi.
produces disease-and tina. part of the sys-
tenn which is weakest is most easily affected
The Bowels being the principal channe
/ through which great portion of the impuri-
ties are discharged,it is evident that whatever
acts beneHcially On them must be conducive
, to health. And as the Bowels are the mos,
efectual, and in fact, almost the only way by
which general impression can be made up.
/ on the system, it is perfectly reasonable to
suppose that nearly all diseases will be cured
or at least, much benefited by iudicious use
of purgative medicines. If a physician is
called to patient, what is the first thing
done? He prescribes dose Of purgstive
medicines; and then, after day or two, if
the patient is no better, he gives him another
dose of purgative medicine, and so on; doing
some other little things-but the main rel-
anee for cure is upon the effect produced
by purgative medicines. Therefore if you
are sick, DELAY not, but take few doses OF
DR.. Gordon's Vegetable Family Pills, and be
again restored to health. Price Is cents per
box
