FOR ALL THE PURPOSES or A

THERE has long existed a public demand for an
effective purgatiye pill which could be relied on as
sure and perfectly safe in its operation. Inns has
been prepared to meet that demand, and an extern
sive trial of its virtues has concluslVeiy shown with
what success it ~accompEshes the purpose designed.
It 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, ana
the public decision. It has been unfortunate for
| the patient hitherto that almost every purgahve
| medicine is acrimonious and irritating to the bow
| els. This is not. Many of them produce so much
gripping pain and reyulsion in the system as to more
than counterbalanee the good to be derived from
them. These pills produce no irritation or pain,
unless it arise from a previously existing obstruc-
ton or arrangement IN the bowels. Beng purely
vegetable, no harm can arise from then use IN any
quantity but it is better that any medicine should
be taken iudiciously. Minute directions for their
use in the several diseases to which they are ape
plicable are 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, Listlessness, Irritability, Bilious Headache,
Bilious Fever, Fever and Ague, Pain in the Side
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 sure relief in Cos
tiveness, Piles, Collie, Dysentery, Humors, Scrofula
and Scurvy, Colds with soreness of the body, Ulcers
and impurity of the blood, Irregularities In short,

They have also produced some singularly sue
c~essful cures in Rheumatism, Govt, DroPsy, Gravel,
Erysipelas, 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 vigor. They purify the blood, and, by their
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 I'M
necessary dosing should never be carried too far,
as every ~purgatiye medicine reduces the strength,
when taken to excess. The thousand cases in which
u physic is required cannot be enumerated here, but
they suggest themselves to the reason of every
body and it is confidently believed this pill viii
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 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.
