'RADWAY'S PILLS
ARE PERFECT PURaATIvEs.
They are aperient, tonic, laxative, stim
ulant, counter-irritant, .sudorifc, altera-
tive. They are entirely Vegetable, and
the only vegetable substitute for Calomel,
Mercury, Antimony, Blue Pill, in the
Arcana of Medicine As evacuants, 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 than SIENNA, or Rheubarb, or
Tamarinds, or Castor Oil, q 49, s. , 2

influence extends over the entire system,

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 N mbrane, pro-
duce a 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
lcolored and watery, and attended
with cramps, gripping pains, nausea,
aickness. By this increased unnatural
action of the bowels, the .secretions of the
kidneys and :,ancreas are diminished,
followed by affections of the kidneys,
blapder, urethra, piles, tenesmu., general
prostration, costiveness, and indigestion.
In active and inhammatory, diseases the
irritation produced by. the Drastic Purga-
tive Pills will not. only increase the dis
case, but induce uiceration; therefore,
great caution is required in attacks of in
fammation of the bowels, bilious cholic,
rheumatism, gout, &c, in the kind Of
pills to take. IF RADWAY'S- PILLS
are taken. a cure will follow
There are a class of chronic diseases,
Chronic rheumatism; Gout, Enlargement
of the Liver, Spleen Enlargement, dis
eases caused by the excessive use of Cal
omel, Mercury, Quinine, ia which Colchi-
cum oiac are prescribed freely. Ipthese
diseases, RADWAY'S REGULATING
PILLS are far more certain, and the pa
tient avoids the danger which an overdose
of Colehicum would infl;ct.
In yellow, Typhoid, and Bilious Fe-
vers, ia 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 cases, a
mild soothing and gently stimulating lax
ative, that will purge and heal, soothe and
strengthen, ike Railways Regulating
Pills, is required The cause of so many
deaths in these diseases is owing to the
want of purgative like, Railways Pills,
that will purge, without depicting or inter-
fering with the functions or other sccre-
tons: Not one in hundred of yellow
and other fever cases would prove fatal
if Railways Pills were adopted in their
treatment. S& 8G s SIS
Some advocates of DRASTIC rURGATIoN
enormously 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 SALINE2 PIIRGATIVES!
Many.persons are in the habit of taking
Salts, Scidits Water, Magnesia, &C., to
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 the
expense of the liver, pancreas, kidneys,
&c., not one atom Of bile orother impuri-
ties is eliminated FROM the blood or serious
fluid. If you are dyspeptic, or troubled
with heartburn, sour eructions, head ache,
indigestion, these difficulties still remain
to torture and vex you You do net ad-
vance one Stop towards cure; aud the
continued use Of these evacuants are apt
to accumulate and form concretionsin the
stomach. A dose of Railway Pills, once
or twice week, will keep all the secre-
tions in healthy condition, and cure the
worst cases of dyspepsia, indigestion, cos
tiveness, &c. s ia
If gentle movement Of the bowels is
required, take from one to three; if a
brisk and thorough purge is desired, take
from four to six, PRICE % CTS. per
