FOR ALL THE PURPOSES OLA
FA AMILY PHYSIC

THERE has long existed public demand for an
effective purgatvc pill which could be relied on as
sure and perfectly safe in its operation. This has
been prepared to meet that demand, and an extern
siye trial of its virtues has conclusiyey shown with
what success it accomplshes the purpose designed
1t is easy to make physical PILL 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 here and
with what success would respectfully submit to
the public decision. 1t has been unfortunate for
the patient hitherto that almost every purgative
medicine is acrimonious and irritating TO the bow
els. This is not Many of them produce so much
gripping pain and royusion in the system as to more
than counterbaance the good to be derived from
them. These piAs produce no irritation or pain,
unless it arise from previously existing obstruc-
ton or arrangement in the bowels. Being purely
vegetable, no harm can arise from their use in any
quantity; but it is better that any medicine should
be taken judciously. Minute directions for their
use in the several diseases to which they are ap-
plicable are given on the box. Among the COM
plants which have been speedily cured by them,
may mention Liver Complaint in its various forms
of Jaundice, Indigestion, Languor and Loss of APP
petite, Lstlessness, Irritabiity, Bilious Headache,
Bilious Fever, Fever and Aguc, Pain in the Side
and Lons for, in truth, all these but the con-
sequence of diseased action in the liver. As an
apcricnt, they afford prompt and sure relief in Cos
iiyeness, Piles, Collie. Dysentery, Humors, Scrof-
Gia and Scurvy, Colds with soreness of the body,
Ulcers and impurty of the blood; in short, any
and every where purgative is required.
They have also produced some singulary sue
sessful cures in Rheumatism, Gout, Dropsy. Gravel
Erysipelas, Palpitaton of the Heart, Pains in the
Back, Stomach and Side. They should be 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-
tte and vigor They purify the blood and, by their
stmulant action on the circulatorv system reno
vate 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 un-
necessary dosing should never be carried too far,
as every purgative medicue 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 better purpose than any thing hich has
hitherto been available to mankind When their
virtues are once 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. no
harm arise from their use in any quantity.
