THE peculiar virtues of these pills have placed
Il them at the head of patented medicines, the
excitement of their popularity in Great Britain
was called the Ole Roy pill fever" Every one
who has taken box or even a dose of these pills
will cheerfuily admit that they superior to any
other medicine, the reason is that other purga-
tives debuitGte while La Roys pills strengthen
and tone the system they purify.
DR.. LIE Roy's pills are exclusively vegetable
many of their component parts are known only
TO the discoverer and have withstood the tests Of
the bes! chemists in Europe, bu, the principal in
gradients are sarsaparitla and Wild Cherry, each
concentrated TO powerful essence, for succeed
ing in which he received the prize offered by the
college Of Pharmacy in Paris.
The difficulty with purgatives has arisen from
their debiitating influence on the digestive or
gans as to produce eostiveness and render purg-
ing again necessary each counteracting the other.
The Vegetable Universal Pills at once tone and
strengthen the system, open tho pores, act upon
the hrer and discharge the stomach removing
only impurities and leave the system free from
disease, Sarsapar,lLa as the best purifier of the
BLOOD, which is the life, while as a tonic Wild
Cherry, is without riva', DR.. LA RoY has so
united them to avoid all evil effects and have
nothing but their virtues action
These pills differ in their operations from all
other medicines, which may be tested by a single
dose, no weakness or nauses is produced but they
brace the system and tone the stomach, al the

They commence the moment they are received
into the system and purify the substances which
