- PILLS.
FOR ALL THE PURPOSES OF
MILY PHYSIC.

THERE has long existed a public demand fr an
| effective ~purgatite pill which could be relied on "a
| sure and perfectly safe in it, operation. This has
been prepared 10 meet that demand, and an extern
sive trial Of its virtues has coneluslvely shown with
what success It aecornplishes the purpose designed
1t is easy to make q physical pill, but not easy to
make the best Of all pills 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 purgativs
medicine is acrimonious and irritating to the bow
els. This is not. Many Of them produce so much
griDing pain and Teyulsion in the system as to more
than counterbalance the good to be derived nom
them. These pills produce no irritation or pain,
unless it arise from n previously existing obseTuS-
ton or arrangement i'll 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 iudiciously. 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, III its various forms.
of Jaundice, Indigestion, Languor and Loss Of APP
petite, ListlGssness, 1rTitabiity, Bilious Headache,
Bilious Fever, Fever and Aguc, Pain in the Side
and Loins for, in truth, all these are but the con
sequence of diseased action III the liver. As an,
aperient they afford prompt and sure relief in Co.'S
tiycness, Piles, Cello. Dysentery, Humors, ScrofulA
and Scurvy, Colds with soreness of the body, Ulcers
and impurify Of the blood, Irregularities; in short,
any ana every ease WheTe u puIRaUNe is required
They have also produced some singularly sue
eessfni cures in Rheumatism, Goqt, Drops, Gravel.
Frysipelas, Palpitation of the Heart, Pains in the
Pack, Stomach, and Side. They should be freely
taken in the spring OF the year, to purity 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 ape
tite and vigor. They purify the blood, and. by their
stimnlant action on the ciretilatory 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 to excess. The thousand cases in which
a pnysic Is required cannot be enumerated here. but
they suggest thcInsrlle s to the REASON of every
body and it is confidently believed this pill viii
answer Il 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 to employ when in need Of a
cathartic medicine. Beng s~ugar-wrappcd, they are
pleasant to take, and being purely vegetable, Ro
harm can arise from their use in any quantity.
