A REMEDY for all seasons, and safe at

server is aware that one great cause Of dis
ease is Cos,iveness, and that by The timely
taking OF a Purga,ive. the system is often
restored to its usual health. BY such a
course the lives of hundreds are saved who
would otherwise have fallen victims to dis
ease. These PILLS remove all irritating
matter in the bowels, and excite the hillary
functions to healthy action. The press
is teeming with the recommendation of
Purga,ive Pills gotten up by men who know
nothing Of the effects OF medicine on the
human system, and hence are endangering
the lives of thousands who are daily using
them. In offering, therefore. these Pills we
think we are doing public benefit, as they
are the prescription Of regular physician.

"When an article has afforded relief 10
so many persons as DR.. Martins Com

we feel bound 10 make it known. There
never was an article in this country that
has afforded relief and gave more satIsIac-

it unequalled for the cure Of Coughs, Colds,
