FAMILY PHYSIC.

THERE has long existed public demand for an
effective purgative pill which could be rehed on as
sure and perfectly safe in its operation This has
been prepared to meet that demand, and an extern
sve trial of its virtues has cOnclusvely shown with
what success it accomplshes the purpose designed.
1t is easy to make physical plH, 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 purgatiye
medicine is acrimonious and irritating to the bow
els. This is not Many of them produce so much
gripping pain and revusion in the system as 10 more
than cOunterbalance the good to be derived from
them. These pulls produce no irritation or pain,
unless it arise from a previously existing obsuue
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 judiciously. Minute directions for their
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 them,
may mention Liver Complaint, in its varions forms
of Jamdce, Indigestion, Languor and Loss Of APP
petite Listlessness Irritabiity, Bilious Headache,
Bilious Fever, Fever and Ague, Pain in the Side
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 relief in Cos
tiveness, Piles, Cole, Dysentery, HumOrs, Scrof-
ula and Scurvy, Colds with soreness of the body,
Ulcers and impurity of the blood; in short, any
and every where purgatiye is required.
They have also produced some sngularly sue
cessful cures in Rheumatism, Govt, DTopsy Gravel,
Erysipelas, 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 then
stimulant action the circulatory system, reno
waite 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
pecessary dosing should never be carried too far,
as every purgatiye medicine reduces the strength,
when taken 80 excess. The thousand cases in which
physic is required cannot be enumerated here, but
they suggest themselves to the of every
body and it is confidently believed this pill viii
answer a better purpose than any thing which has
hitherto been available TO mankind. When Their
virtues known, the public viii no longer
doubt what remedy to employ when in need Of .
cathartc medicine. Being sugar-wrapped they are
pleasant to take, and being purely vegetable, ne
harm can arise from their use in any quantity.
