DIR. RAILWAYS PILLS.

IF people understood the importance of purga-
Il ton with RAILWAYS PILLS, in contradis-
salts, oils, Seidlitz waters, they would need less
physicing, save themselves from much suffering,
and greatly improve their health.
RAILWAYS PILLS
They are aperient, tonic, laxative, stimuant,
counter irritant, sudoriic, Alternative. They are
entirely Vegetable and the only vegetable substi
tute for Calomel Mercury, Anthony, Blue Pill,
are more certain and thorough than the Drastic
Pills of Aloes, Croton and Harlem Oil or Flat
erium and more soothing and healing than SIENNA,
or Rhubarb, or Tamarinds. or Caster Oil.
AS ALTERNATIVES
They exercise more powerful influence over the
liver and it's secretions than calomel, mercury
blue pill hence their Importance in cases of Liver
pepsia Bilious attacks, Headache, &c. In the
treatment of Fevers, either Bilious, Yellow, Ty-
phod and other reducing fevers, they are superior
to quinine. Their influence extends over the en-
tire system, controlling strengthening, and brac
ing up the relaxed and wasting energies, and reg
lating all the secretions to the natural performance
of their duties cleansing and purifying the blood
and purgIng from the system all diseased despots
and impure humors.
They differ from all purgative pills. Their &C
ton is not local. confined to portion of the
bowels, Drastic Purgative Pills augment wha
is called the peristaltic movement of the bowels
by irritating the coats of the intestines.
A large dose of the Drastic Pills will by irrtat
ing the mucous membrane, produce a violent ex
pulsion of the contents of the bowels but in Sc
| doing other secretiOns are suspended. In sucf
cases, the stools will be found to be lightcoloreC
and watery, and attended Will, cramps, gripping
pains, nausea, sickness. by this increased un
natural action of the bowels, the secretions of the
kidneys, bladder, urethra, piles, tenesmus, gener
| al prostration, costiveness and indigestion.
In active and inhammatory diseases, the irrita
ton produced by the Drastic Purgative Pills vii

There are class of chronic diseases, Chroni
Rheumatism, Gout, Enlargement of the Liver

In Yellow Typhoid and Bilious Fevers, in Fry
sipelas, Small Pox, purgaton is entirely essential

so many deaths in these diseases is owing to tn
want of a purgative like DWA1'S PILLS, tina
will purge, without depicting or interfering wit
the functions or other secretions. Not one in

prove fatal if RAILWAYS PILLS were adopte

Some advocates of Drastic PWgation erroneous
ly hold that gripping, nausea, sickness, tenesmus
during the operation of their pills, is favOrabl
sign; if their pills, expelled with the faces tn
diseased humors left circulating in the system
there would be but little pain gripping. 1t is tn
absence of the bile and other humors, which thei
imperfect pills. fail to purge out OF the system tina
occasions the pain. By examining the stool
evacuated after severe gripping, they will be foun
thin and watery.
