DIR. RAILWAYS PILLS.

IF people understood the Importance of purga-
i ton with RAILWAYS PILLS, in contradis-
tinction of purgng with other pills or powders,
salts, oils, Seidlitz waters, they would need less
physicing, themselves from much suffering,
and greatly improve their health.
RAILWAYS PILLS
They are Gperient, tonic, laxative, slimulant
counter irritant, sudOrifc, alternative. They are
entirely Vegetable, and the only vegetable subst-
tute for Calomel, Mercury, Anthony, Blue Pill
in the Arcana of Medicine. AS evacuants, they
are more certain and thorough than the Drastic
Pills of Aloes, or 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 its secretionS than calomel, mercury
blue pill hence their Importance in cases of Liver
Complaints and Spleen difficulties, Jaundice. Dys-
pepsia, Bilious attacks, Head ache, &C. In the
treatment of Fevers, either Bilious, Yellow, Ty-
phoid and other reducing fevers, they 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 purglng from the system all diseased despots
and impure humors.
They differ from all purgative pills. Their ac-
ton is not local. confined to portion of the
bowels Drastic Purgative Pills augment what
is called the pcristaltic movement of the bowels,
by irritating the coats of the intestines.
large dose of the Drastic Pills will by irritat-
ing the mucous membrane, produce violent ex-
pulson of the contents of the bowels, but in so
doing other secretions are suspended. In such
cases, the stools will be found to be light-colored
and watery, and attended with cramps, gripping
pains, nausea, sickness. BY this increased I'M
natural action of the bowels the secretions of the
kidneys, bladder, urethra, piles, tenesmus, gener-
al prOstratiou, cOStlveneSS and indigestion.
In active and infiammatory diseases, the irrita-
ton produced by the Drastic Purgative Pills will
not increase the disease, but induce liberation !;
therefore, great caution is required i'll attacks of
Inflammation of the bowels, bilious choc rheu-
matism, govt, &C., in the kind of pills to take. If
RAILWAYS PILLS are TAKEN a cure will follow.
There a class of chronic diseases, Chronic
Rheumatism, Gout, Enlargement of the Liver,
Spleen Enlargement, diseases caused by the ex-
cessiye use of Calomel, mercury, Quinne, in which
Cochicum Golac are prescribed freely. In these
diseases, RAILWAYS REGULATING PILLS are
far more certain, and the patient avoids the dam
ger which an overdose of COlchicum would inlict.
In Yellow, Typhoid and Bilious Fevers, in Fry
sipeas, Small PoX, purgation is entirely essential
but to administer dose of Drastic Pills, the pur-
CATION they would produce, and the relaxation and
depletion that would follow would be be likely to
prove fatal. In these cases, mild soothing and
gently stimulating laxative, that will purge and
heal, soothe and strengthen, like RAILWAYS
REG ULATlNG 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 interfering with
the functions other secretions. Not one in a
hundred of Yellow and other fever cases would
prove fatal if RAILWAYS PILLS were adopted
in their treatment.
Some advocates of Drastic Purgation erroneous
ly 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 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
evacuated after severe gripping they will be found
thin and watery.
