FOR ALL THE PURPOSES OLA
FA MILY PHYSIC.

THERE has long existed public demand 'or m
effective purgative pill which could be relied on "a
sure and perfectly safe in its operation. This has
been prepared to meet that demand and an extern
sive trial of its virtues has conclusvey shown with
what success it accompshes the purpose designed.
1t IS easy to make a physical pill but not easy to
make the best of ali 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. 1t has been unfortunate for
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 revusion in the system as to more
than counterbalance the good TO be derived from
them These pills produce no irritation or pain,
unless 1t 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 udiciousy. Minute directions for their
use in the several diseases to which they are ap-
plicable given the box. Among the COM
plants which have been speedily cured by Them we
may mention Liver Complaint, in its various forms
of Jaundice, Indigestion, Languor and Loss Of APP
petite Listessness, lritability, Bilious Headache,
Bilious Fever, Fever and Ague, Pain in the Side
and Lons for, in truth, all these bu' the con-
sequence of diseased action in the liver. As an
aperient they afford prompt and sure relief in Cos
tlyeness, Piles, Collie, Dysentcry, 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
cessful 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 appc-
tite and vgor. They purify the blood, and by their
simuant 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 no serious arrangement exists but I'M
necessary dosing should never be carried too far,
as every pugative medicine reduces the strength,
when taken to excess. The thousand cases in which
physc is required cannot be enumerated here, but
they suggest themselves to She reason Of every
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. Being sugar wrapped they are
pleasant to take, ant being purely vegetable, no
harm can arise from their use in any quantity.
