DIR. RAILWAYS PILLS.

IF people understood the Importance of
purgation with RADWAY'S PILLS, in
contradistinction Of purging with other
pills or powders, salts, oils. Seidlitz waters,
they would need less physieing, save them
selves from much suffering, and greatly
improve their health.
RAILWAYS PILLS
Q ARE PERFECT PURGATIvEs.
They are aperient. tonic, laxative, slim
ulant, counter-irrita sudorifc, altera-
tive. They are entirely Vegetable, and
the only vegetable substitute for Calomel
Mercury, Antimony, Blue Pill, in the
Arcana of Medicine As cvacuants, they
are more certain and thorough than the
Drastic Pills of Aloes, or Croton and Har-
lem Oil. or Elaterium; and more soothing
and healing tn; SIENNA, or Rheubarb, or
Tamarinds, or Castor Oil.
AS. ALTERNATIVES
They exercise a ms re powerful ufu
ence over the liver, and its secret;' us n
calomel, mercury, blue pill, hence Their
Importance in cases of Liver Complaints
and Spleen difficulties. Jaundice. Dyspep-
sia, Bilious attacks, Headache, &c. In
the treatment of Fevers, either Bilious,
Yellow, Typhoid, and other reducing fe-
vers, they are superb to quinipe. Their
influence extends over the entire system,
controlling, strengthening and bracing W
the relaxed and wasting energies, and
regulating al the secretions to the natural
performance Of their duties, cleaning and
purifying the blood and purging from the
system all diseased deposits and impure
humors.
They differ from all purgative pills.
Their action is not local, or confined to a
portion of the bowels. Drastic Purga-
tive Pills augment what is called the per
istaltic movement of the bowels by irritat-
ing the coats of the intestines.
A large dose Of the Drastic Pills will,
by irritating the mucous membrane pro-
duce violent expulsion Of the contents
in the bowels, but in so doing other Sc
cretions are suspended. In such cases,
the stools will be found to be light
colored and watery, and attended
with cramps gripping pains, nausea,
aickness. By this increased uuna turai
action of the bowels, the secrctions or the
kidneys and pancreas7 arc diminished,
followed by affections of the kydneys,
blapdcr, urethra, piles, tenesmu5, general
prostitution, costiveness, and indigestion.
In active and infammatory diseases, the
irritation produced by the Drastic Purga-
tive Pills will not only increase the dis
ease, but induce ulceration; therefore,
great caution is required in attacks of in
halpmaticn Of the bowels, bilious cholie,
rheumatism, gout, &C., in the kind of
pills to take. IF RADWAY'S PILLS
are taken, cure will follow.
There are class of chronic diseases.
Chronic Rheumatism; Gout, Enlargement
of the Liver, Spleen Enlargement, dis
eases caused by the excessive use OF Cal
omcl, Mercury, Quinine, in which Colchi-
cum Goiac are prescribed freely. Inthese
diseases, RADWAY'S REGULATING
PILLS are FAR more certain, and the pa
tient avoids the danger which an overdose
OF Colchicum would infiot.
In Yellow, Typhoid, and Bilious Fe-
vers, in Erysipelas, Small Pox, purgation
is highly essential; but to administer a
dose OF Drastic Pills, the irritation they
would produce, and the relaxation and
depletion that would follow, would be
likely to prove fatal. In these eases, a
mild soothing and gently stimulating lax
ative, that will purge and heal, soothe and
strengthen, like Railways Regulating
Pills, is required. The cause of SO tl;,ily
deaths in these diseases is owing to the
want of purgative like Radway' Pills,
that will purge, without depicting or inter-
fering with the functions or other secrc-
-. l. =
and other. fever cases would prove fatal
If Railways Pills were adopted in their
treatment.
Some advocates OF DRASTIC isCRGATIoS
erroneously hold that gripping, nausea,
sickness, tenesmus, during the operation
Of their pills, is favorable sign: if their
pills, expelled with the faces the diseased
humors left circulating in the system,
there would be but little pain or gripping
1t is the absence of the bile and other
humors, which their imperfect pills, fail
to purge out of the system, that occasions
the pain. BY examining the stools evac-
uated after severe gripping, they will be
found thin and watery.
AVOID SALINE PURGATIVES!
many persons arc III the napit OF taxing
Salts, Seiditz Water, Magnesia, &C., tt
regulate their bowels. This is erroneous
They succeed in obtaining an evacuation
of the watery parts only, leaving the cor
rupt humors, and that is all; but at til,
expense of the liver, pancreas, Eydneys
&C., no. one atom Of bile or other impuri
| ties is eliminated from the blood or serou
fluid. If you are dyspeptic, or troubled
with heartburn, sour eructions, head ache
indigestion, these difficulties still remail
to torture and vex you. You do not ad
vance one step towards a cure; and th
continued use Of these evacuants are ap
to accumulate and form concretions in Ia,
stomach. A dose Of Railways Pills, one,
or twice week, will keep all the secre
tions in healthy condition, and cure tn,
worst cases of dyspepsia, indigestion, COS
tiveness, Go. <r
IF a gentle movement Of the bowels i
required, take from one to three; if
brisk and thorough purge is desired, tax,
from four to six. PRICE 25 CTS. pc
