FOR ALL THE PURPOSES OF A
IA MILY PHYSIC.

THERE has l5&g existed a public demand for an
effective pu~rgatiye pill which could be relied on rs
sure ard perfectly safe in its operation. This has
been prepared to meet that demand, and an extern
sye trial Of its virtues has conciu&irely shown with
what success it arCornpliSfes the purpose designed
1t is easy to make a physical pill, but not easy to
make the best of all ptHS-one which should have
none OF the objections, hut all the advantages, of
every other. This has been attempted here, Iasd
with what success we world respectfully submit 10
the public decision. II 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 so much
gripping pain and rev rIsion in the system as to more
than counterbalance the good to be derived from
them. These pits produce no irritation or pain,
unless il arise from 4 previously existing obstruc-
ton or arrangement in the bowels. Being purely
vegetable, no harm can arise from then use in any
quantity but it is better that any medicine should
be taken iudiciouslv. Minute directions for their
use in the several diseases to which they are ap-
plicahle 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 J%aundice, Indigestion, LanguOr and Loss of Ap-
petite, ListlcssneSs, lrritabiEty, 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 rellcf III Cos

any and every case where Il p~urgative is required,
They have also produced some s%ingularly sue
cessful cures IN rheumatism, Govt, Dropsy, Gravel,
Erysipelas, PaIpitation 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 uppe-
tite and vigor. They purify the blood, and, by their
stimulant action on the circuIatory 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 M
necessary dosing should never be carried too FIR,
as every purgative medicine reduces the strength,
when taken to excess. The Thousand eases in which
a physic is required cannot be enumerated here, but
they suggest themselves 70 the reason 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 then
virtues are once known, the public will no longer
doubt what remedy to employ when in need OF a
eathartir medicine. Beng sugar-wrapped, they are
pleasant to take, and being purely vegetable, no
harm can arise from their use in any quantity.
For minute directions, see wrapper on the Box.
