A S
PILLS
FOR ALL THE PURPOSES OLA
FAM ILY PLY SIC.

THERE has long existed public demand for an
effective purgatve 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
sive trial of its virtues has concusivey shown with
what success it accompshes 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 we 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 revulson in 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. Beng purely
vegetable no harm can arise from their use in any
quantity; but it is better that any medicine should
be taken iudiciously. 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 then we
may mention Liver Complaint, in its various forms
of Jaundice, Indigestion, Languor and Loss OF Ap-
petite, Lstlessness, rritability, Bilious Headache
Bilious Fever. Fever and Ague, Pain in the Side
and Loins; fer in truth. all these are but the con-
sequence of diseased action in the liver. AS an
aperient they afford prompt and sure relief in Cos
tireness Piles Collie, Dysentery, Humors, Scrofula
and Scnrvy. Colds with soreness of the body, Ulcers
and impuritv of the blood, Irregularities IN Short
any and every case where purgative is required.
They have also produced some singularly sue
cessfu cures in Rheumatism, Govt, Dropsy, Gravel,
Eryspelas, Palpitation 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-
tite and vigor. They purify the blood, and, by their
stimulant action on the circulatory 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 serious arrangement exists; but I'M
necessary dosing should never be carried too far,
as 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 better purpose than any thing which has
hitherto been available to mankind. When their
virtues known, the public will no longer
doubt what remedy to employ when in need of
cathartic medicine. Beng sugar-wrapped, they are
pleasant to take, and being purely vegetable, no
harm arise from their use in any quantity
