FOR ALL THE PURPOSES OF a
FAMILY PHYSIC.

THERE has long existed public demand for an
effective purgatve pill which could be relied on
sure and perfectly safe in its operation. This has
been prepared to meet that demand and an extern
sive trial of its virtues has cOnclusvey shown with
what success it accomplshes the purpose designed.
1t is easy to make a physical piH but not easy to
make the best of all pills 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 It 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 much
gripping pain and reyulsion in the system to
than counterbalmce the good to be derived from
them. These pills produce no irritation or pain,
unless il arse from a 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 iudicousy. Minute directions for their
use in the several diseases TO which they are APP
plicabe given on the box Among the conf
plants which have been speedily cured by them, we
may mention Liver Complaint, in its various forms
of Jaundice, Indigestion, Languor and Loss of APP
petite, Listlessness, Iritabiity, 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
aperent they afford prompt and sure relief in Cos
tiveness, Piles, Colo, 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 singularly
ceSsful cures in Rheumatism Gout, Dropsy, Gravel,
Eryspelas, Palpitation of the Heart, Pains in the
Back, Stomach, and Side. They should be freely
taken il the spring Of the year, to purify the blood
and prepare the system for .he 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 on the circulatOry system, reno
vate the strength Of the body, and restore the
wasted diseased energies of the whole organism
Hence an occasional dose is advantageous, even
though serious arrangement exists but
necessary dosing should never be carried too fur,
every purgatye medicine reduces the strength,
when taken TO excess. The thousand cases in which
physic Is required cannot be enumerated here but
they suggest themselves 10 the reason of every
body; and il is confidently believed this pill will
answer a better purpose than any thing which has
hitherto been available 20 mankind. When their
virtues are once known, the public viii no longer
doubt what remedy 20 employ when in need Of
cathartic medicine. Being sugar-wrapped they are
pleasant tn take, and being purely vegetable, M
harm arise from their use in any quantity.
