FAMILY PHYSIC.
FOR ALL THE PURPOSES ORA

THERE has long existed public demand for
effective purgative pill which could be relied
and perfectly safe in its operation This has
been prepared TO meet that demand, and an extern
sive trial of its virtues has cOucuSyely shown with
what success it accomplishes the purpose designed
1t is easy to make physical pill, but not easy to
make the best of all piHS-One which should have
none of the objections, but all the advantages, of
every other. This has been attempted here, and
with what success we would respectfully submit to
the public decision. 1t has been unfortunate for
the patient hitherto that almost every purgahve
medicine is acrimonious and irritating to the bow
els. This is not. Many of them produce so much
gripping pain and revuSlOn III the system as TO more
than cOunterbalance the good to be derived from
them. These pills produce no irritation or pain,
unless it arise from previously existing obstruc
ton or arrangement in the bowels. Being purely
vegetable, no harm arise from their use III any
quantity; but it is better that any medicine should
be taken iudiciOusy. Minute directions for their
use in the several diseases TO which they ap-
plicable given on the box. Among the COM
plants which have been speedily cured by them,
may mention Liver Complaint, in its various forms
of Jaundicc, Indigestion, LanguOr and Loss OF APP
petite Listessness, lrritabiity Bilious Headache,
Bilious Fever, Fever and Ague, Pain in the Side
and Lons for, in truth, all these are but the con-
sequence of diseased action in the liver. As an
apcrient they afford prompt and sure relief in Cos
tiveness, Piles, Colo, Dysentery, Humors, Scrot-
ula aud ScuTyy, Colds with soreness of the body,
Ulcers and impurty of the blood; in short, any
ana every case WheTe a plugatlNe Is required.
They have also produced some singularly sue
cessful cures in Rheumatism, Govt DrOpSy, Gravel,
Erysipelas, PaptatiOn of the Heart, Pains IN the
Back, Stomach, and Side. They should he freely
taken in the spring of the year. to purify the blood
and prepare the system for the change Of seasons
An occasional dose stimulates the stomach and
bowels into healthy action, and restores the appe.
tite and vigor. They purify the blood and by then
stnulant action the circulatory system, reno
vate the strength Of the body, and restore the
wasted or diseased energies Of the whole organism.
Hence occasional dose is advantageous even
though serious arrangement exists; but I'M
necessary dosing should never be carried too far,
every purgative medicine reduces the strength,
when taken to excess. The thousand cases in which
physic is required cannot be enumerated here, but
they suggest themselves to the reason of every
body; and it is confidently believed this pill will
answer a better purpose than any thing which has
hitherto been available to mankind. When their
virtues are known, the public will no longer
doubt what remedy to employ when in need of
cathartic medicine. Being sugar-wrapped they are
pleasant to take, and being purely vegetable, ne
harm arise from their use in any quantity.
