CATHARTIC PILLS


OPERATE by their powerful influence on the
" internal viscera to purify the blood and stimu-
late it into healthy action. They remove the
distractions of the stomach, bowels, liver. and other
organs of the body, and, by restoring their irregular
action to health, correct, wherever they exist, sucn
arrangements as are the first causes of disease
An extensive trial of their virtues, by Professors,
Physicians, and Patients, has shown cures of dan
gerous diseases almost beyond belief, were they not
subStantiated by persons OF such exalted position
and character as to forbid the suspicion of untruth
Their certificates are published in my American
Almanac, which the Agents below named are
pleased to furnish free to all inquiring.
Annexed we give Directions for their use in the
complaints which they have been found TO cure.
For CosTTvINE ss. = one or two Pills, or
such quantity as to gently move the bowels. Cos
tiyeness is frequently the aggravating cause of
PILES, and the cure of one complaint is the cure
Of both. No person can feel well while under a
costive habit Of body. Hence it should be. as il
can be, promptly relieved.
Fox DYSPEPSIA, which is sometimes the cause
Of COStireaeSs, and always uncomfortable, take mild
doses = from one to four - to stimulate the stomach
and liver into healthy action. They will do it, and
the heartburn, b~odybw'1', and souDm1 of dyspepsia
forget what cured you.
For a Fowl STOMACH, or Morbid hiaction Of the
Borets, which produces general depression Of the
spirits and bad health, take from four to eight Pills
at first, and smaller doses afterwards, until activity
and strength is restored to the system.
FoR NERVOUSNESS, SICK HEADACHE, NAUSEA,
Pain an The Stomach, Back, or Side, take from four
to eight pills on going to bed. If they do not oper-
ate sufficiently, take more the next day until they
do. These complaints will be swept out from the
system. Don't wear these and their kindred dis
orders because your stomach is foul.
For SCRoPuLA, ERYsIPELAs, and all Diseases
OF the SKIN, take the Pills freely and frequently, to
keep the bowels open. The eruptions will gcner-
ally soon begin to diminish and disappear. Many
dreadful ulcers and sores have been healed up by
the purging and purifying effect of these Pills, and
some disgusting diseases which seemed to saturate
the whole system have completely yielded to their
influence, leaving the sufferer in perfect health.
Patients! your duty to society forbids that you
should parade yourself around the world covered
with pimples, blotches, ulcers, sores, and all OF any
of the unclean diseases of the skin, because your
system wants cleansing.
To PURIFY THE BLOOD, they are the best medi-
cine ever discovered. They should be taken freely
and frequently, and the impurities which SOW the
seeds of incurable diseases will be swept out of the
system like chatf before the wind. By this property
they do as much good in preventing sickness as by
the remarkable cures which they are making every
where.
LIVER COMPLAINT, JAuNDIcR, and all Bilious
Affections, arise from some arrangements either
t~Orpidity, congestion, or distractions Of the Liver.
Torpidity and congestion yitate the bile and render
it unfit for digestion. This is disastrous to the
health, and the constitution is frequently under
mined by no other cause. Indigestion is the symp-
tom. Obstruction of the duct which empties the
bile into the stomach causes the bile to overflow
into the blood. This produces J~aundice, with a
lUnp anu dangerous tram OF evils. tOStlNencSS, or
alternately costiyencss and diarrhna, prevails.
Feyerish symptoms, ~languor, low spirits, WEAKNESS,
restlossness, and melancholy, with sometimes in
ability 10 sleep, and sometimes great drowsiness;
sometimes there is severe pain in the side the skin
and the white of the eyes become a greenish yellow;
the stomach acid the bowels sore to the touch !;
the whole system irritable, with n tendency to fever.
which may turn to bilious fever, bilious cole, bilious
d%iarrhna, dysentery, &c. A medium dose of three
or four Pills taken at night, followed by two or three
in the morning, and repeated a few DAYS will remove
the cause of all these troubles. 1t is wicked to suffer
such pains when you can cure them for % cents.
RHEUMATISM, GoUT, and al LnRummatorv Fe-
rers, are rapidly cured by the purifying effects of
these Pills upon the blood and the stimulus which
they afford to the vital principal of Life. For these
mild doses, to move the bowels gently, but freely.
AS a DINNER Pill, this is both agreeable and
useful. No Pill can be made more pleasant to take,
and certainly none has been made more efFectual to
