FAMILY PHYSIC.

THsRx has long existed public demand for an
effective purgatve pill which could be relied on ~
sure and perfectly safe In its operation This has
been prepared to meet that demand, and an extern
sve trial Of its virtues has concusively shown with
what success il accomplshes the purpose designed.
It Is easy to make physical pill, but not easy to
make the best of all ptLb- 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. II has been unfortunate fof
the patient hitherto that almost every purgativs
medicine Is acrimonious and irritating to the bow
els. This Is not. Many Of them produce 30 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 II 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
Sc taken judciously. Minute directions for their
use in the several diseases to which they are ap-
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, Lstlcssncss, lrrtability, Bilious Headache,
and Loins; for in truth, all these are but the con-
sequence OF diseased action in the liver. As an
aperient, they afford prompt and relief in Cos

An occasional dose stimulates the stomach and

stimulant action on the circuatory system, rene

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
cathartic medicine.

The only remedy to these evils is, to pro-

Within a comparatively hort distance of

an ineXhaustible supply ofthc purcst and
