FAMILY PLY SIC.

THERE has long existed public demand for an
effective purgatiye pill which could be relied on
sure and perfectly safe in its operation. This has
been prepared to meet that demand, and all extern
sve trial OF its virtues has concusSeiy shown with
what success it accompishes the purpose designed.
1t is easy to make physical pill, but not easy to
make the best of all piNs-one which should have
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 purgatve
medicine is acrimonious and irritating to the bow
els. This is not. Many of them produce so much
gripping pain and reyulsOn 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 previously existing obstruc
ton or arrangement in the bowels Being purely
vegetable, no harm 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 APP
plicable are given on the box. Among the COM
plants which have been speedily cured by them. we

sequence of diseased action in the liver. As an

Erysipelas, Palpitation of the Heart, Pains in the
Back, Stomach, and Side. They should be freely

and prepare the system for the change of seasons.
An occasional dose stimulates the stomach and
bowels into healthy action. and restores the appe

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 un-
necessary dosing should never be carried too far,
Is 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 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.
