FOR ALL THE PURPOSES OF

| THERE has long existed n public demand for an
effective p~urgative 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
SYe trial Of its virtues has GonclNSively shown with
what success it acoomplishes the purpose designed.
1t is easy to make a 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. Il has been unfortunate for
the patient hitherto that almost every ~puTgatiYe
medicine Is acrimonious and Irritating TO the bow
els. This is not. Many Of them produce so much
gripping pain and reyalsion in the system as to more
than counterbalanGe the good to be derived from
them. These pills Produce no irritation or pain
unless It arse no1t a previously existing obstruc-
ten or deraDpernent in the bowels. Being purely
vegetable, no harm can nrisP from their use IN any
quantity hut il is better that any medicine should,
be taken judiciossly. Minute directions for their
use Ii the several diseases TO which they are APP
pHc&Gle are given on the boz Among the CON-
plants which have been speedily cured by them, We
may mention Liver Complaint, in its various forms
Of J%aundice, Indigestion, LanguoE and Loss of Ap-
petite, listleSsness, Irritability, Bilious Headache,
Bilious Fever, Fever and AgNs, Pain in the Side
and Loins for, in truth, all these are but the con-
sequence of diseased action in the liver. As an
apoFlent they afford prompt and sure relief iRtCos-
tiY6lesF, Piles, Collie. DySentery, HQmOrs, Scr6fula
and ScuFvy, Colds with soreness Of the body, Ulcers
and irnpurity Of the blood, Irregularities; in short,
any and every case where a purgatiVe is required.
They have also produced some singularly sue
cessfal cures III rheumatism, Gout, Dr0psy, Gravel,
Rrysipeias, 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-
lite and vigOr: They purify the blood, and, by thsir
stimuant action on the eTculatory system, reno
sate the strength Of the body, and restore the
wasted or diseased energies Of he whole organism.
Hence an occasional dose is advantageous, even
though no Serious arrangement exists but IN
necessary dosing should never be carried too far.
as every purgatiys medicine reduces the strength,
when taken to excess. The thousand cases in which
q physie is required cannot be enumerated here, but
they suggest themselves to the reason of every
body and it is confidently believed this pill win
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 rouedy to employ when in need Of a
cathartie medicine. Beng sugar-wrapped, they are
pleasant TO take, and being purely vegetable, no
har!n can arise frspl their use in any quantity.
For minute directions, see wrapper on the Box.
