FOR ALL THE PURPOSES oFA
FAMILY PHYSIC.

THERE has long existed public demand for an
effective pprgatiye pill which could be relied on as
sure and perfectly safe in its operation. This has
been prepared to meet that demand and an extern
sve trial OF its virtues has conclusyey shown with
what success it accompshes the purpose designed.
1t is easy to make physical pill but not easy to
make the best of all pills Ns-on 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 revulson in the system as to
than counterbalance the good to be derived from
them. These pills produce irritation or pain,
unless it arise from previously existing obstruc-
ton or arrangement in the bowels Being purely
vegetable, no harm arise from their use i'll any
quantity; but it is better that any medicine should
be taken judicousy. Minute directions for their
use in the several diseases to which they ap-
plicable are given 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 Ap-
petite Listessness, Irrtability, Bilious Headache,
Bilious Fever, Fever and Ague, Pain in the Side
and Lons for, in truth, all these but the con-
sequence of diseased action in the liver. AS an
aperient they afford prompt and sure relief in Cos
tveness, Piles, Collie Dysentery, Humors, Scrofula
and Scurvy Colds with soreness of the body Ulcers
and mpurtty of the blood, Irregularities in short,
any and every case where purgative is required.
lhey have also produced some s1ngularly suc~
cessful cures in Rheumatism, Gout, Dropsy, Gravel,
Erysipelas, Papitaton 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 theR
stmulant action the circulatory system, reno
vate the strength of the body, and restore the
wasted or diseased energies of the whole organism
Hence occasional dose ADVANTAGEOUS
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 are once known, the public will no longer
doubt what remedy to employ when in need Of q
cathartc medicine. Beng sugar-wrapped, they are
pleasant to take, and being purely vegetable, %
harm can arise from their use in any quantity.
