~ PILLS.
FOR ALL THE PURPOSES OF
FAMILY PHYSIC.

THERE has long existed public demand for an
effective purgative pill which could be relied on as
sure and perfectly safe in its operation ms mas
been prepared to meet that demand, ana an extern
siye trial of its virtues has conclusiyey shown with
what success il accomplishes 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 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 oostruc-
ton or arrangement in the bowels. Being purely
vegetable, no harm arise from their use in any
quantity; but il is better that any medicine should
Sc taken judiciousy. Minute directions for their
use in the several diseases to which they are APP
pcable 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, Listessncss Irrtability, Bilious Headache,
Bilious Fever, Fever and Ague, Pain in the Side
and Loins; for in truth, all these but the con-
sequence of diseased action in the liver As an
aperent they afford prompt and sure relief in Cos
tiyeness, Piles, Collie, Dysentery, Humors, Scrof-
ula and Scurvy, Colds with soreness Of the body,
Ulcers and impnrity of the blood; in short, any
anu every CdSc WHcie puiHoINV 10 iopuhco.
They have also produced some singularly sue
cessful cures in rheumatism, Gout, Dropsy, Gravel,
Eryspclas, 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
stmulant action on the crculatory system, reno
vate 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 UNI
necessary dosing should never be carried too far
as every purgative medicine reduces the strength,
when taken to excess. The thousand cases in which
aphysic 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 once known, the public will no longer
doubt what remedy to employ when in need Of a
eathartic medicine.
