In every instance have the Pills proved sue
cessful. The Pills invariably open those OBJ
structions to which females are liable, and bring
nature into its proper channel. whereby health
is restored and the pale and deathly counfe-
nance changed to a healthy one. No female
can enjoy good health unless she is regular; and
whenever an obstruction takes place whether
from exposure, cold, or any other cause, the
general health Immediately begins to decline
and the want of such a remedy has been the
cause of so many consumpiions among young
females. To ladies whose health will not per.

prove valuable acquisition as they will pre-

Palpitation of the heart. loathing of food, and
disturbed sleep, do most always arise from the
Eruption of nature; and whenever that is tbs
case the pills will invariably remedy all these
evils. Nor are they less efliracious in the cure
