FOR ALL THE PURPOSES or A

THERE has long existed a public demand for an
effective purgative pill which could be relied on az
sure and perfectly safe in its operation. This has
been prepared TO meet that demand, and an exten-
sive trial of its virtues has concluslvely shown with
what success it accomplishes the purpose designed.
Il IS easy TO make a physical pill, but not easy 20
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 We would respectfully submit to
the public decision. It has been unfortunate for
the patient hitherto that almost every pUrgadve
medicine is acrimonious and irritating to the bow
els. This Is not. Many of them prodace 30 much
gripping pain and reyulsion IN the system as % mofs
than counterbalence the good to be derived from
them. These pills produce no irritation or pain,
unless il arise from 4 previously existing oosuae-
ton or arrangement in the bowels. Beng purely
vegetable, no harm can arise from then use ID any
quantity but it is better that any medcnne snSalo
he taken iudiciously. Minute directions for Their
use in the several diseases to which they are sps
plicable are given on the box. Among the COM
plants which have been speedily cured BY them, We
may mention Liver Complaint, IN Its y9Laoos IoEms
of Jarndire, Indigestion, Languor ana LOSS O. APP
petite. Listlessness, lrTitabihty, Bilious Headaches
Bilious Fever, Fever and Agne, Pain IN the Side
and Loins for, in truth, all these are but the con-
sequence Of diseased action IN the tFef. as AZ.

tiveness. Piles. Collie, Dysentery, Humors, Scroft1a
and Scurvv. Colds with soreness of the body, Ulcers
and impuritv of the blood, Irregularities in short,
any and every case where a purgatlve Is required
They have also produced some s~ingularly sue
ccssfui cures in Rheumatism, Gout, Dropsy, Gravel,
Erysipelas. Palpitation Of the Heart, Pains in tbs
Back, Stomach, and Side. They should be freely
taken in the spring of the year, 10 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 circuIatory system, reno
| yate the strength of the body, and restore the
wasted or diseased energies of The whole ORGANISMS.
Hence an occasional dose is advantageous, even
though no serious arrangement exists but IN
necessary dosing should never be carried TOO far,
as every ~purgatiye medicine reduces the strength.
when taken 10 excess. The thousand cases in which
a physic is required cannot be enumerated here, but
thew 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
ririIes are once known. the public will no longer
doubt what remedy to employ when in need Of r.
~catlarsic medicine. Beng sugar-wrapped, they are
pleasant 10 take, aud being purely vegetable, no
hmm ran arive from their use in any quantity.
