A CERTAIN CURE FOR PILES.
DR.. UPHAM'S VEGETABLE ELECT JAR!

A CERTAIN CURE FOR PILES.
DR.. UPHAM's VEGETABLE ELECTU ARY
UAN INTERNAL REMEDY.n
"HE Vegetable Pile Electuary, invented by
Il Dr.. A. Upham, distinguished physician
full remedy for that dangerous and distressing
complaint. the PILES, over offered to tho A.
merican public.
Mark this; it is an internal remedy-hot an
external application, and will cure any case Of
Piles, either bleeding or blind, internal and ex.
ternal. and probably the only thing that will.
There is no mistake about it 1t is a positive
cure-speedy and permanent. 1t is also con-
venient medicine to take and improves the gen.
eral health in a remarkable manner.
Each box contains twelve doses, at 8 cents
per dose. 1t is very mild in its operation, and
may be taken in cases of the most acute i'll.
fammation without danger. All external ap-
plications are in the highest degree disagreed.
BILE, inconvenient, and offensive; and from the
very nature of the disease, temporary in their
effects. This medicine attacks the disease at
its source. and removing the cause renders the
cure certain and permanent.
EXPLANATORY DISEASES.
Although the Electuary was originally pre-
pared for the cure of piles, yet it has proved
itself to be medicine far superior to all others,
in all diseases OF an infam ma tory character,
with a determination of blood to any particular
part or organ. In inflammation and conges-
ton of the liver and spleen; inflammation, Sore
ness and liberation of the stomach, bowels,
kidneys. and bladder; in inflammatory and
mercurial rheumatism, it is the best medicine
ever discovered.
TO MARRIED LADIES.
Married Ladies are almost invariably ject
to that painful and in urious disease, the Piles,
with consequent infa animation of the stomach,
bowels and spine, weakness Of the back, flow
of blood to the head, &c. The electuary is
perfectly safe for pregnant ladies, and the most
usefnl cathartic that can possibly be used. as
it will not only remove the piles and all in.
aammatory diseaseswthout pain or irritation,
but will ensure an easy time, a safe delivery,
and sound constitution in the offspring.
CURE FOR LIFE SECURED.
The Electuary contains no mineral Medi.
cine; no aloes, colocynth. Gamboge, or other
powerful and irritating purgative. No fear Of
taking cold wbileunder its influence, no change
in diet necessary. If taken according TO the
directions CURE Fur LIFE is GUARANTEED.
