TJNHE sciences of Chemistry and Medicine have
i been taxed their utmost to produce this best,
most perfect purgative which is known to man. In
Vulnerable proofs are shown that these PILLS have
virtues which surpass in excellence the ordinary
medicines, and that they win unpTecedentedly upon
the esteem OF NIL men. They are safe and pleasant
to take, but powerful to cure. Their penetrating
properties stimulate the vital activities of the body
remove tho obstruCtiOns of its organs, purify the
blood, and expel disease. They purge out the foul
humors which breed and grow dstemper, stimulate
sluggish dsOrdeTed organs into their natural ac-
whole system. Not only do they the everyday
complaints of every body, but also formidable and
dangerous diseases that have bafied the best of h-
man skill. While they produce powerful effects,
they at the same time, in diminished Doses tho
safest and best physic that be employed for
children. Being sugarcoated, they are pleasant to
take and being purely vegetable, are free from any
risk of harm: Cures have been made which surpass
belief were they not snbstantiated by men of such
exalted position and character forbid the sus-
pcion OF untruth. Many eminent cIergymen and
physicians have lent theI names to certify to the
public the reliability of my remedies, while others
have sent me the assurances of their conviction that
my Preparations contribute Immensely to the relief
of my afflicted, suffering fellow-men.
