, THERE has long existed public demand ror an
effective purgatiye pill which could be relied on rs
sure and perfectly safe III Its operation This has
z been prepared to meet that demand aud an exton-
sive trial OF its virtues has concusyely shown with
what success it accomplishos the purpose designed
1t is easy to make physical faH, but not easy TO
make the best Of all pits 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 reyulsion in the system as TO more
than counterbalanee the good to De derived from
them. These pills produce no irritation or pain,
unless il arise from previously existing obstruc
non or arrangement in the bowels. Being purely
vegetable. no harm arise from their use in any
quantity but il is better that any medicine should
be taken udiciously. 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 them, we
may mention Liver Complaint, in its various forms
Of Jaundice, Indigestion, Languor and Loss of APP
petite, Iistessncss lrritabity, Bilious Headache,
Bilious Fever, Fever and Ague, Pain in the Side
and Loins for, in truth, all these but the
sequence Of diseased action in the liver. As an
aperient, they afford prompt and sure relief in Cos
tiveness, Piles, Colic, Dysentery, Hum0rs, Scrof-
ua and Scurvy, Colds with soreness of the body,
Ulcers and mpurity of the blood; in short, any
and every case where purgatve is required.
They have also produced some sngulary sue
eessful cures in rheumatism, Gout, Dropsy, Gravel,
Eryspelas, Palpitaton 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 appc-
tte aed vigor They purify the blood, and by their
stimufant action on the circulatory system reno
sate 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 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 a
eathartic medicine. Being sugar-wrapped they are
pleasant to take, and being purely vegetable, no
harm arise from their use in any quantity.
