SCHENcKs Mandrake Pills, for Liver Com
~ plant.
A SUBSTITUTE FOR CALoMEL.
If your bowels are costive,
TRY THEM
If you have worms,
TRY THEM.
If your breath Is bad,
TRY THEM
If you feel drowsy,
If you are low-sprited,
TRY THEM.
IF you have a sick headache,
TRY THEN.
If you have taken drop too much,
TAKE A FULL DOSE.
They only cost rs cents box,
TRY THEM.
Blue Mass, and other preparations of Mercury,
actually produce more suffering and death than
the diseases which they profess to cure.
And yet this corrosive mineral, so denounced
by the allopathic doctors, is prescribed by them
almost universally in cases OF Liver Complaint,
Consumption Of Lungs, &c.
THE MANDRAKE PILLS
Are composed entirely of roots and herbs, OBJ
tanned from the great storehouse Of Nature, and
their salutary effects will appear as soon as the
medicine Is brought t. the test of fair expert
ment. SCHENCk'S MANDRAKE PILLS do
not produce any nausea or sickness Of the stom-
ach; but when given for Dyspepsia, it may be
proper to use thea in connection with SCHENCK'S
SEAWEED TONIC. BY thi, judicious treatment
the digestive faculties are speedily restored to
their full vgor, and the worst case of indigestion
may be cured.
When we reflect that the liver is the largest
internal organ Of the body, that to it is assigned
the important duty OF iltering the blood and pre-
pairing the bile that it is subject to many disor-
ders, and that when it is diseased, or inactive,
the whole body suffers alphabetically, it is not
surprising that medicine which can restore the
healthy operations of the liver should produce
wonderful changes in the general health and ef-
feet cures which may appear to be almost mirac-
ulous. Headache of long continuance, severe
pains in the side, breast, and shoulders, aching
Of the limbs, q feeling of general weakness and
wretchedness, and other alarming or distressing
symptoms indicative of imperfect or disordered
action Of the liver, are speedily removed by the
use Of SCHENCK'S MANDRAKE PILLS
Costiveness, Piles, bitter or sour eructations,
and that ndescribable feeling Of oppression, men,
tai anxiety, languor, lethargy, and depression of
| spirits, which unfit man for the management
of business, and the enjoyment of life, are all re-
lieved by the use of SCHENCK'S MANDRAKE
PILLS.

seeking for dust at the bottom of the sea. Either
