FAMILY PHYSIC.

THERE has long existed public demand for an
effective purgative 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 cOneusively shown with
what success it accomplshes the purpose designed
1t is easy TO make physical piA, but not easy 70
make the best of all pttLS -one winch 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 ptIgatrve
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 70 more
than counterbalance the good TO be derived rom
them. These pills produce no irritation or pam,
unless il arise from previously existing obstruc-
ton or arrangement in the bowels. Being purely
vegetable no harm arise from Their use m any
quantity but it Is better that any medicine should
be taken iudiciOusiy. Minute directions ~ then
use in the several diseases to which they are ap-
pIcable are given on the box. Among the COM
plants which have been speedily cured by them, we
may mention Liver Complaint, IN ITS various tOrms
of Jaundice Indigestion, Languor and Loss of Ap-
petite Listlessness Irtability, 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 case where purgatTye is required
They have also produced some singularly sue
cessful cures in rheumatism, Govt, Dropsy, Gravel,
Erysipelas, Palpitation of the Heart PiGns 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 yigor. They purify the blood and by then
stimulant action 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 no serious arrangement exists; but I'M
necessary dosing should never be carried too far,
as every purgative medicine reduces the strength,
when taken 70 excess. The thousand cases in which
physic is required cannot De enumerated here but
they suggest themselves TO the reason of every
body and il is confidently believed tins pill viii
answer a better purpose than any thing which has
hitherto been available TO mankind. When their
virtues are once known, the public will no longer
doubt what remedy 20 employ when in need Of
cathartic medicine. Beng sugar-wrapped they are
pleasant TO take, and being purely vegetable, No
harm can arise from their use in any quantity.
