FOR ALL TIE PURPOSES OF A
FAMILY PHYSIC.

THERE has long existed j pubic demand for m
effective purgative pill which could be relied On a
sure and perfectly safe in its operation. This has
been prepared to meet that demand. and an exter.
Siye trial of its virtues has concluSiyeiv shown with
what success il accOmplishes tie purpose desiened
1t is easy to make a physical pill, but not easy To
make the best of all pills So 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 10
the public decision. it has been unfortunate fn,
the patient hitherto that almost every purqatiye
medicine Is acrimonious and irritating to the bow
els. This is not. Many Of them produce so much
gripping pain and rcyulsion IN the system as to more
than counterhalauce the good TO be derived from
them, These pills produce no irritation OF pain,
unless it arise from a previously existing obstruc-
ton or arrangement in the bowels. Being purely
vegetable, no harm can arise from their use in any
quantity but it is better thai 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 COMPETENT. IN its various forms
OF Jatndice, Indigestion, IanguOr and Loss of Ap-
petite, ListleSsness, iTTitabilty, Bilious Headache,
Bilious Fever, Fever and Agne, Pain in the Side
and Loins for, in truth, al these are but the con-
sequence of diseased action III the liver. As an
aperient they afford prompt and sure relief in Cos
tivenesS, Piles. Collie, Dvsentery, Humors, Scrofula
and ScurvY, Colds with soreness Of the body. Ulcers

any and every case where q p~urgative is required.
They have also produced some singnlarly sue
cessful cures in rheumatism, Goat, Dropsy, Gravel,
Erysipelas, Palpitation 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 appe-
tite and vigor. They purify the blood, and, by their.
stimulant action on 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 p~urgative medicine reduces the strength,
when taken to excess. The thousand cases in which
a 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 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 to employ when in need of a
cathartic medicine. Beng sugar-wrapped, they are
pleasant to take, and being purely vegetable, no
harm can arise from their use in any quantity.
