FOR ALL THE PURPOSES OF
FAMILY PHYSIC,

THERE has long existed a public demand for an
effective p~urgative pill which could be relied on as
sure and perfectly safe III its operation. This has
been prepared to meet that demand, and an extern
sile trial of its virtues has coHclusively shown with
what success II accammltsaes the rurpoae designed.
1t is easy to make q physical pi3. but not easy to
make the test Of al D4}!s- ore wL.ch should have
none of the c1inct.ans, but all the advantages, Of
every other. This las been attempted here, and
with what success we wAnld respectfully submit to
the public decision. 1t has been unfortunate for
the patient hitherto that almost every ~purgatiye
medicine is acrimonious and irritating to the bow
els. This is not. Many of them produce so much
gripping pain and reulsion in the system as to more
than counterbalance the good to be derived from
them. These pits prodnce no irritation or pain,
unless it arise from a 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

An occasiona! dose stimulates the stomach and
bowels into healthy action, and restores the appe-

stimnlant action on the cireulatory system, reno

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,
