YTNHIS valuable remedy is prepared with great
care and on correct chemical principles,

No injurious effects will be produced, should
the patient be ever so much reduced An
overdose will cause nausea and sometimes
vomiting, but will produce no other unpleas-
ant result.
Patients should avoid taking too large dos
es as in most cases it has better effect by Ia
king dose that will rest well on the stomach.
The precise dose for each individual patient,
or the number of times to be taken during the
day, will depend very much upon the temper
ament of the patient. As general thing, the
patient should commence with a small dose,
increasing in amount until nausea or depres-
sion is produced, then continue in slightly di-
minshed doses until the desired effect Is pro-
duced

dyne expectorant of rare medicinal virtues, al

f. NJ. WELLS GREAT WESTERN
Antj-BillOUs pills,

For the cure of all bilious diseases, impuri
ties of blood, indigestion, liver complaint, sick
headache, fevers, colds. jaundice, dyspepsia, fe-
male complaints, and a general cathartic.
In the treatment Of bilious fever, jaundice,
and all other diseases of the alimentary canal
or general health, which is caused by an affec-
ton of the liver or portal circle, these pills are
invaluable.
For jaundicc, take one or two pills every
night Should there be loss of appetite, or
general debility or languor, use the bitters I'M
til these symptoms are removed.
These pills may be taken in all cases where
an aperient Alternative or cathartic is required.
Dyspepsia and liver complaint. with all their
attendant evils, can positively be cured by a
persevering use of these pills in connection
with the bitters. When cough exists in con-
nccton with any disease for which these pills
are recommended, take the Pectoral Syrup OF
Wild Cherry, prepared by the proprietor, and
the patient will be thoroughly and radically
cured. These pills being of vegetable origin,
no injurious effects will be produced under any
circumstances by their Use. Adults or chill
dren can take them constantly when required.
The dose for a child three or four years old
from one to two pills; and for children eight
or nine years old, from two to three pills al
bedtime
Females will find these pills very mild and
uniform in their operations, and the very med
icine needed by a large class of females.
Let all remember that the Great Western
Pills are designed expressly for use in bilious
climates. and are far better than those put VI
in the east. where little is known in regard tt
the peculiar diseases of the climate.
