FOR ALL THE PURPOSES OLA
FA MILY PHYSIC.

THERE has long existed public demand for an
effective purgative pill which could be relied on
and perfectly safe in its operation This has
been prepared to meet that demand, and an extern
sive trial of its virtues has conclusvely shown with
what success it accompshes 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 would respectfully submit to
the public decision. II has been unfortunate6for
the patient hitherto that almost every purgative
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 cuunterbalance the good to be derived from
them. These pill; produce no irritation or pain,
unless it arise from previously existing obstruc
ton or arrangement in the bowels. Being purely
vegetable, no harm arise from their use in any
quantity but it is better that any medicine should
be taken judiciousy. Minute directions for their
use in the several diseases to which they are ap-
plicable are 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 Listlessness, Irritabity, Bilious Headache,
Bilious Fever, Fever and Ague Pain in the Side
and Lons for in truth, all these are bu' the
sequence Of diseased action in the liver. As an
aperient they afford prompt and sure relief in Cos
tiyeness, Piles, Collie, Dysentery, Humors, Scrof-
ula and Scurvy, Colds with soreness Of the body,
Ulcers and impurity of the blood in short, any
and every case where a purgative is required.
They have also produced some singularly sue
oessful cures in Rheumatism, GOut, Dropsy, Gravel,
Erysipelas, Palpitation of the Heart, Pains in tho
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-
tte and yigor: They purify the blood, and, by their
stimulant action on the circulatory system, reno
waite the strength of the body, and restore the
wasted or diseased energies of the whole organism.
Hence an occasional dose is advantageous, even
though serious arrangement exists; buttnn-
necessary dosing should never be carried too far,
as every purgative medicine reduces the strength,
when taken to excess. The thousand cases in which
physic is required cannot be enumerated here, but
they suggest themselves to She reason Of every
Dody; and it is confidently believed this pill will
answer better purpose than any thing which has
hitherto been available to mankind. Whep their
virtues are once known, the public will no longes
doubt what remedy to employ when in need Of
cathartic medicine Being sugar-wapped they arc
pleasant to take, and being purely vegetable, no
harm can arise from their use in any quantity.
