CATHARTIC PILLS

OPERATE by their powerful influence on the
" internal viscera to purify the blood and stimu-
late it into healthy acasn. They remove the
distractions OF the stomach, bowels liver and other
organs of the body and by restoring their irregular
action to health correct, wherever they exist such
arrangements as are the first causes of disease.
An extensive trial Of their virtues by Professors,
Physicians, and Patients, has shown cures of dam
gerous diseases almost beyond belief, were they not
substantiated by persons of such exalted position
and character to forbid the suspicion of untrsth.
Their certificates are published in my American
Almanac, which the Agents below named are
pleased to furnish free to all inquiring
Annexed we give Directions for their use in the
complaints which they have been found to cure.
For CosTIvINEss. Take one or two Pills, or
such quantity as to gently move the bowels Cos
tiveness is frequently the aggrayating cause of
PILES, and the cure Of one complaint Is the cure
of both. No person can feel well while under a
costive habit OF body. Hence it should be, as it
can be, promptly relieved.
For DYSPEPSIA, which is sometimes the cause
of Cosire,ess and always uncomfortable, take mild
doses = from one to four to stimulate the stomach
and liver into healthy action. They will do it, and
the heartburn, Jodybion, and sou6ayn of dyspepsia
will rapidly disappear. When it has gone, don't
forget what cured you
For Foul STOMACH, or Morbid Inaction of the
Bo,cels, which produces general depression Of the
spirits and bad health take from four to eight Pills
at first and smaller doses afterwards, until activity
and strength is restored to the system.
For NERVOUSNESS, SICK HEADACHE, NAUSEA
Pain in the Stomach, Back, or SIDE, take from foui
10 eight pills on going to bed. If they do not oper-
ate sufficiently take more the next day until they
do. These complaints will be swept out from the
system. Don't wear these and their kindred dis
orders because your stomach is foul.
For ScRoFULA, ERYsIPELAs, and all Diseases
ofhe Skin take the Pills freely and frequently to
Keep the bowels open. The eruptions will gener-
ally soon begin to diminish and disappear Many
dreadful ulcers and sores have been healed up by
the purging and purifying effect of these Pills, and
some disgusting diseases which seemed to saturate
the whole system have completely yielded to their
influence, leaving the sufferer in perfect health.
Patients your duty to society forbds that you
should parade Yourself around the world covered
with pimples blotches, ulcers, Sores and all or any
of the unclcan diseases of the skin, because your
system wants cleansing.
To PURIFY THE BLOOD, they are the best medi-
cine ever discovered They should be taken freely
and frequently and the impurities which SOW the
seeds of incurable diseases will be swept out of the
system like chaff before the wind. BY this property
they do as much good in preventing sickness as by
the remarkable cures which they are making every
where.
LIVER COMPLAINT, JAUNDIcE, and all Bilious
Affections, arise from some arrangement -either
torpdity congestion. or distractions of the Liver
Torpidity and congestion vtiate the bile and render
IL unfit for digestion. This is disastrous to the
health, and the constitution is frequently under
mined by no other cause. Indigestion is the symp-
tom. Obstruction of the duct which empties the
bile into the stomach causes the bile to overflow
into the blood. This produces Jaundicc, with
long and dangerous train of evils. Costiyeness, or
alternately costiveness and diarrhGa, prevails.
Feverish symptoms, languor low spirits, WEAKNESS.
restlessness, and melancholy, with sometimes in
ability to sleep, and sometimes great drowsiness;
sometimes there is pain in the side; the skin
and the white of the eyes become greenish yellow;
the stomach acid; the bowels sore to the touch;
the whole system irritable, with tendency to fever
which may turn to bilious fever, bilious collie, bilious
diarrhea, dysentery &c A medium dose of three
or four Pills taken at night followed by two or three
in the morning, and repeated few days, will remove
the cause of all these troubles 1t wicked to suffer
such pains when you car cure them for % cents.
RHEuMArIsM, Govt, and all H!fammatory Fe-
pers are rapidly cured by the purifying effects of
these Pills upon the t'ood and the stimulus which
they afford o the vital principal of Life For these
and all kindred complaints they should be taken in
mild doses, to move the bowels gently, but freely.
As DINNER PILL, this is both agreeable and
useful No Pill can be made more pleasant to take,
and certainly none has been made more efectual to
the purpose for which dinner pill is employed.
