RADWAY'S PILLS
( ARE PERFECT PURGATIv
| They are aperient, tonic, laxative, slim
ulant, counter -irritant, sudorifc, aftera-
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 Senna, or Rheubarb, or
Tamarinds, or Castor Oil. s.z.t g
AS ALTERNATIVES f9-'
They exercise more powerful iufu
ence over the liver, and its seeretions than
calomel, mercury, blue pill, hence their
importance in cases of Liver Complaints
and Spleen difficulties, Jaundice, Dyspep-
sia, Bilious attacks, Head ache, &c. In
the treatment of Fevers, either Bilious,
Yellow, Typhoid, and other reducing fe-
vers, they are superb to quinine. Their
influence extends over theSentire system,
controlling, strengthening and bracing up
the relaxed and wasting energies, and
regulating all the secretions tothe 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 purgatiye pills.
Their action is not local., or confined to a
portion of the bowels. Drastic Purga-
tive Pills augment what is called the per
tistaltic movement of the bowels by irritat
ing the coats of the intestines.
A large dose of the Drastic Pills will
by irritating the mucous III mbrane, pro-
duce violent expulsion of the contents
in the bowels, but in so doing other Sc
eretions are suspended. In such cases,
the stools will be found to be light
colored and watery, and attended
with cramps, gripping pains, nausea,
aickness.y By this increased unnatural
action Of the bowels, the secretions Of the
kidneys and pancreas are diminished,
followed by affections of the kidneys,
blapder, urethra, piles, tenesmus, general
prostration, costiveness, and Indigestion.
In active and infammatory diseases, Tic
irritation produced b55r the Drastic Purga-
tive Pills Will nGs only increase the dis
ease, but induce liberation; therefore,
sreat,cap..i;on is required in attacks of in
hamnis.ion of the bowells, bilious cholic,
rheumatism, gout, &c., in the kind of
pills to take. If RADWAY'S PILLS

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, in which Colchi-
cum Goiac are prescribed freely. In these
diseases, RADWAY'S. REGULATING
PILLS are far more certain, and the pa
tient avoids the danger which an overdose
of Colchicum would inAict.
Tn Yellow, Typhoid, and Bilious Fe-
vers, in 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
alive, that llpurge and heal, soothe and
like 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 secre-
tions: Not one in hundred of Yellow
and other fever cases would prove fatal
if Railways Pills swere adopted in their
treatment.
Some advocates Of DRASTIC PURGATIoN
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 SALINE PURGATIVESl I.
Many persons are in the habit of taking
Salts, Seiditz 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 brother. impuri-
ties is eliminated from the blood or serous
fluid. If you are dyspeptie, or3troubled
with heartburn, sour eructions, headache,
indigestion, these difficulties still remain
to torture and vex you. You do not ad-
vance one step towards cure; and the
continued use of these evaeuants are apt
to accumulate and form concretions in the
stomach. A dose of Railways 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. = 3 ssE
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 25 CTS. per
