GILLMORE'S
Anti-BilliOuS Pills,

1T is remarkable fact that most diseases
l. OF the present day partake to a great ex-
tent OF bilious tendency; hence the fire.
guency of those wherein the glands and
membranes are attacked, which are styled
intlamatory. 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 swami
ply lands, are being constantly affected Iby
diseases of the febril and bilious class
which is sweeping off thousands of our
best and most useful inhabitants. In 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
compounded an
.AN7T-BILLIOUS PILL,
Which is the result of experience, and
when he offers this Pill to the public, not
as panacea for all theAlls that flesh is
heir to, but as corrector to that class of
diseases arising from hillary arrangements,
he does it with the most perfect assurance
that it will accomplish more good than any
other preparation 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 Obstruc,
tions, Enlarged Spleen, Foul Stomach
Bilious, Iniiamatory and Yellow Fever.
Jaundice, Bilious Cholic, and all other
diseases arising from an impure state of the
system. The following is sample of the
numerous certificates the proprietor is
daily receiving;
