FOR ALL THE PURPOSES OLA

THERE has long existed public demand for an
effective purgative pill which could be relied on
sure and perfectly safe in its operation. This has
been prepared to meet that demand and an eXten.
sive trial of its virtues has conclusivey shown with
what success it accompEshes the purpose designed.
1t is easy to make 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 purgative
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 more
than counterbalance the good to be derived from
them. These pills produce no irritation or pain,
unless it arise from q 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 that any medicine should
be taken judiciously. Minute directions for their
use in the several diseases to which they are ap-
picable 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 Jaundice, Indigestion, Languor and Loss of APP
petite, Lstlessness, Irrtability, Bilious Headache
Bilious Fever, Fever and Ague, Pain in the Side
and Loins for, in truth, all these but the
sequence of diseased action in the liver. AS an
aperient they afford prompt and sure relief in Cos
tiveness, Piles, Collie, Dysentery, Humors, Scrof-
ula and Scurvy, Colds with soreness of the body,
Ulcers and impurity of the blood; in short, any
and every case where purgative is required.
They have also produced some sngularly sue
cessful cures in Rheumatism, Govt, 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 vgor. They purify the blood and, by their
stimulant action on the circulatory SYSTEM reno
waite the strength of the body, and restore the
wasted or diseased energies of the whole organism.
Hence occasional dose is advantageous, even
though no serious arrangement exists; but un-
necessary dosing should never be carried too far,
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 known, the public will no longer
doubt what remedy to employ when in need of a
cathartic medicine. Being sugar-wrapped they are
pleasant to take, and being purely vegetable, no
harm can arise from their use III any quantity.
For minute directions see wrapper on the Box.
