for the same cancelled, by returning the box
in a useable condition, with the remainder of
the Pills. Agents selling them are requested
to conform to this rule.
If you or your family have been in the habit
of using pills, try them. and you will find them
as good If not better in many respects, than
any you have ever used before. Do not say &c
yourself, ! should be glad to buy box of
