Ha1Sey'S Forest Pills

TIME FOREST PILLS neither gripe nor weaken
i the system. This is because they contain nc
deleterious drugs or minerals, but are extracts Of
plants which are as wholesome as the food we cat
a CURE Is CERTAIN, and they cure without
weakening the system or affecting the bowels but
slightly, except in full doses, when they purge
thoroughly but without gripping pains, or producing
weakness.
II Is FOLLY to use gripping, drastic purgatires;
such drugs weaken and destroy the tone of the
stomach and bowels. Never weaken the system
The stronger the vital functions, the more power
have they to throw off disease when assisted by a
good medicine
MILLIONS OF BOXES
OF the FOREST PILLS have been used, with the
most happy results Letters and certificates Ircm
every part of the Union and British Colonies,
testlfying to the good effects, and the cures of
thousands from their efficacy, have been received.
READER! L never knew single instance where
the FOREST PILLS have been taken according to
the directions but they produced the most decided
benefit Even in old standing complaints, where
the patient persevered in them for a reasonable
length of time, they have effected cure in every
instance which has come to my knowledge. 1t
should be understood that the FOREST PILLS are
not made from common drugs as all other pills are
but that they are prepared from the medicinal vir-
tues of certain plants, which nourish and purify
the blood as food does the body. 1 will mention,
for example, three of these plants, which are well
known: DANDELION, YELLOW DOCK, and
SARSAPARILLA. The others are found growing
wild in the forests, and their medicinal properties
ten times more effective than those have
named. Were it not for making known the secret
of a valuable discovery, l would not hesitate to
give their names Suffice it to say, that the midi
cinal efficacy of one of those was discovered from
its of horrible case of Scrofula in about three
weeks time.

injured by that slow lurking poison, Calomel, or
other mineral substances, touch no uncertain COM
