that possibly exist is with regard TO tb tmcans

understand that the plan Of circulars addressed on

we are convinced will fail TO secure those uniform

Council Of the United States viii act Immediately
upon the State Grand Councils, and they in turn
viii exert a similar influence upon the subordinate
councils. The system will be thorough, and con-
sequenty the desired results viii be but legitimate
effects. Nor Is this mere theory, INFESTED and
untred. We call attention to the following paper,

more than counerbaance the good TO be derived from
them These Pills produce no irritation or pain, un-
less it arises from previousJ existing obstruction

tity but it is better that any medicine should pc
taken judciously, Minute directions for their use in
the several diseases to which they are applicable are
given on the box. Among the complaints which
have been speedily cured by them we may mention
Liver Complaint in its various forms OF Jaundice,
indigestion, Languor and noss OF Appe.,!e Lsuess-

sipeas Papitation 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 into healthy action and
restores the appetite and vigor. They purify the
blood and, by their stmulant action on the circula-
tory system renovate 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 purgatve medicine reduces the strength when
taken to excess. The Thousand cases in which a

they suggest themselves to the reason of every body

better purpose than anything which has hitherto been

to employ when in need of cathartic medicine.
Being sugar-wrapped they are pleasant to take and
being purely vegetable no harm can arise from their
use in any quantity.
