From the Lancet, .4uguSt 80, 1916.
Or. LIE Roy has most happily succeeded In com
bining Wild Cherry and SarsaparilIa with other
vegetable ingredients, so as to produce a medicine
at once tonic and purgatiye, the only perfect dis
covery of the kind ever made. Their great pecu-
liar excellence, and that which distinguishes them
from all other purgatives is, that their operation is
followed by no reaction. Their unrivalled purify-
ing and purgative properties, tor which they are
indebted to the essence Of SarsapariIla and other
ingredients, being controlled by their highly tonic
virtues, derived from the extract of Wild Cherry.
they do not strain the digestive organs into action,
as is the mode of operation with other cathartics,
but on the contrary strengthen them into action
Thus all other purgative medicines produce more |
or less subsequent cdstiveness, and sluggishness of
the gastric juice, while DR.. LIE Roy's Pills leave
all the machinery of the system full of life and &C.
tivity, and the bowels open and natural. 'Hence.'l
writes DR.. Cheeseman, 'they are the only active
purgative which / can recommend with confidence.
and without alarm; for they remove nothing but
what ought to be removed-neither rack nor strain
no apathy nor debilitation-and leave
the bowels free, open and vigorous" But the
great virtue of DR.. lie Roy's Pills-the virtue
