GELEWORE,S
Anti-BilliOuS Pills,

1T is remarkable fact that most diseases
L of the present day partake to great ex-
tent of bilious tendency; henca the fire.
quency of those wherein the glands and
membranes are attacked, which are styled
inilamatory. At this period when our
country is annually visited by fevers and
other epidemics, peculiarly indigenous to
this country, and those residing in parts
contiguous TO marshes, low. wet and swan
py lands, are being constantly affected iby
diseases of the tebril and bilious class
which is sweeping off thousands of our
best and most useful inha bitants. I'm this
lamentable state of affairs is it at all re-
markable that there should be great de-
mand for some medicine prepared ON sci
entific principles, that would prevent so
much disease and mortality, and one that
could be in EVERY family, travellers port
manteau, teamsters' pocket, and ladies'
toilette, and used with safety. The pro-
prietor, guided by these considerations has
com pounded an
.44V7I-BILLIOUS Pill,
Which is the result of experience, and
when he offers this Pill to the public, not
as panacea for all the Ills that flesh is
heir to, but as corrector to that class Of
diseases arising from hillary arrangements,
he does it whit he most perfect assurance
that it will accomplish more good than any
other pre- paration now in use.
These Pills may be taken by the most
delicate female, as well as the most athlet-
ic man. They may be used with certainty
in Dyspepsia, Costiveness, Female Ohstruc-
tons, Enlarged Spleen, Foul Stomach,
Bilious, Infiamatory and Yellow Fever,
Jaumdice, Bilious Cholic, AMI all other
diseases arising from an impure state of the
system. The following is sample OF the
numerous certificates the proprietor is
daily receiving:
Messrs. CuRTrs e. GiLLMoRE Gents:

with their operations: they cleanse out
the stomach and bowels, and operate ad,
mirably. They are the best family pill,

.cheerfully recommend them 10 the public
as safe and efficient medicine. If these
few facts are of any use TO you, you are
at liberty to use them.
