DIR. RAILWAYS PILLS,

DIR. RADWAY'S PILLS.
IF people understood the importsnce Of
purgation with RADWAY'Sa PILLS, in
contradistinction of purging with other
pills or powders, salts, oils, Seidlitz waters,
they would need less physicing, save them
selves from much suffering, and greatly
improve their health.
RAILWAYS PILLS
ARE PERFECT PURGATIvEs.
They are aperieat, tonic, laxative, stim-
ulant, counter-irritant, sudoriic, altera-
tive. They are entirely Vegetable, and
the only vegetable substitute 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 Har-
lem Oil. or Elaterium; and more soothing
and healing than SIENNA, or Rheubarb, or
Tamarinds, or Castor Oil.
AS ALTERNATIVES
They exercise more powerful iufu
ence over the liver, and its secretiOns than
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 quinine. Their
influence extends over the entire system,
controlling, Strengthening and bracing up
the relaxed and wasting energies, and
Regulating all 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 slocal, ! or confined to a
tportion of the bowels. Drastic Purga-
tive Pills augment what Q called the. per-
istaltic movement of the bowels by irritat-
ling the coats of the intestines.

irritation produced by the Drastic Purea-
tive Pills will not only incrt e the dis

are taken, cure will follow.

deaths in these diseases, is owing to the
want of purgatiye like Radway's Pills,
that will purge, without depicting or inter

tions: Not one in a hundred of yellow
