4z :'(5s!E';!!I PILLS.
FOR ALL THE PURPOSES OF
FAMILY PHYSIC

THERE has long existed a public demand for an
effective purgative pill which could be relied on as
sure and perfectly safe in its operation. ms mas
been prepared to meet that demand, ana an extern
sive trial of its virtues has conclusively SHOWN WIN
what success it accomplishes the purpose Designed.
II is easy to make a physical ptH, but not easy TO
make the best of all pills ~ one which should have
none of the objections, but all the advantages, OF
every other. This has been attempted mere, anu
with what success we would respectfully submit 70
the public decision. 1t has been unfortunate LOT
the patient hitherto that almost every purgauVe
medicine is acrimonious and nritatnS 70 we VOW
els. This is not. Many OF them poauce 90 much
gripping pain and yevulsion in the system as 10 more
than counterbalance the good to be derived from
them. These pill produce no irritation or PAIN
unless it arise from a previously exisIhg oosuaI
ton or arrangement in the bowels, beihe purely
vegetable. no harm can arise from theii use IN ahY
quantity but it is better that any medicine shouia
be taken iudiciously. Minute directions for then
use in the several diseases to which they are APP
plicable are given on the box: Among the com.
plants which have been speedily cured by .neh,, we
may mention Liver Complaint, in its various forms
of taundioe, Indigestion, LangnoI ana Loss 9i hp-
petite, Listlessness, Irritabihty, Bilious Headaehe,
Bilious Fever, Fever and Ague, Pain IN the oiae
and Loins; for, in truth, all these are but the con-
sequence Of diseased action in the liver. AS an
aperient, they afford prompt and sure rehei IN Cos-
tiyeness, Piles, Collie, Dysentery, humors, ocroi-
ua and Scurvy, Colds with soreness OF the ooay,
Ulcers and impurity Of the blood; in Snort any
and every case where a ~purgative is required;
They have also produced some singularly sue
c~essful cures in Rheumatism, Goqt, DroBsy, urs.el,
Rrysipelas, Palpitation Of the Heart, rams IN .he
Back, Stomach, and Side. They should be freely
taken in tho spring Of the year, to purify the ae. oiOoa
An occasional dose stimulates the stomach and
bowels into healthy action, and restores the Ape
tite and vigor. They purify the blood, and, by tneu
stimulant action on the circulatory system, reno
yate the strength Of the body, and restore the
wasted or diseased energies of the whole organism.
Hence an occasional dose is advantageous, even
though no serious arrangement exists; but en-
necessary dosing should never be carried too i az
as every purgative medicine reduces the smenSaI,
when taken TO excess. The thousand cases IN when
a physic IS required cannot be enumerated here, but
they suggest themselves to the reason OF ever
body; and it is confidently believed this phi wn
answer a better purpose than any thing which ha'
hitherto been available to mankind. When he 1o .nen
doubt what remedy to employ when in need OF
cathartic medicine. Being ~uSar-wFapped they ar
pleasant to take, and being purely vegetaoie' IN
harm can arise from their use in any quanutS.
