these indications III these western States.
The GREAT WESTERN or COMPOUND
MANDRAKE PILLS, as they are happy
combination Of western herbs, prepared expressly

Will these pills cure all diseases?
Purgatioh. with proper medicine fitted b,

but when the accumulation is already effected ;
they must be taken regularly every night, until
the poisonous bile is all evacuated.
Will otthls steady purging induce weakness.
True weakness in caused by morbid matte

current; the Pills. by removeing this morbid
matter, actually irhparts strength by taking away
the ckUsEef WEAKNESS.
In what particular are these pills superior TO

That, instead reproducing copous watery
stools, which debilitate without corresponding
benefit, thcy carry off nothing save bile AID
other impuTieties.
How shall we ascertain this to be the truth

and examining the appearance ofthe stools.
