FOR ALL THE PURPOSES OF A
FAMILY PHYSIC.

THERE has long existed public demand for an
effective prrgative pill which could be relied on
sure and perfectly safe in its operation This has
been prepared to meet that demand. and an exten-
sive trial Of its virtues has Concusivcy shown with
what success it 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 wonld respectfully submit to
the public decision. 1t has been unfortunate f@
the patient hitherto that almost every purgati,e
medicine is acrimonious and irritating to the bow
els. This is not. Many of them produce 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 it arise from 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
be taken udiciously. Minute directions for their
use in the several diseases to which they APP
plieable given on the box. Among the COM
plants which have been speedily cured by them,
may mention Liver Complaint, in its various forms
of Jaundice, Indigestion, Languor and Loss of APP
petite, Lstlessness, Irrtability, Bilious Headache
Bilious Fever, Fever and Ague, Pain in the Side
and Loins; for, in truth, all these but the
sequence Of diseased action in the liver. As an
aperient they afford prompt and sure relief in Cos
and Scurvy Colds with soreness of the body, Ulcers
and impurity of the blood Irregularities; in short
any and every case where purgatve is required.
They have also produced some singularly sue
eessful 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
yate 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 nn-
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 ever
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 Beng sugar wrapped, they are
pleasant to take, and being purely vegetable, mo-
harm arise from their use in any quantity
