When the Proprietors, Fleming Bros, Of
Pittsburgh, Pa, of this invaluable remedy pur-
chased it of the inventor, there was no medi-
cine which deserved the name, for the cure of
Liver and Bilious complaints, notwithstanding
he great prevalence of these diseases in the
Knitted States In the South and West par
eularly, where the patient is frequently una
5le to obtain the services of regular physi-
Jan, some remedy was required, at once safe
and zeffectual, and the operation Of which
could in no wise prove prejudcial to the con-
stitution. This medicine is supplid by DR..
M'Lane's Liver Pills, prepared by Fleming
Bros. of Pittsburgh, as has already been
proyed in every instance in which it has had
a trial. Always beneficial, not solitary in
stance has ever occurred in which its effects
have been injurious. The invention of an
educated and distinguished physician, it has
nothing in common with the quack nostrums
imposed upon the public by shallow preten-
ders to the medical art. Experience has
proved, beyond doubt, that DIR. MLane's
Pill is the only remedy ever proposed for the
Liver complaint.
~ Purchasers will be careful to ask for
DIR. M'LANE'S Celebrated Liver Pills manu-
factured by FLEMING BROS, of Pittsburgh
Pa All other Vermifuges in comparison are
worthless. DR.. M'Lane's genuine Vermifuge,
also his celebrated Liver Pills, can now be
had at all respectable drug stores. None gen.
