R.RAD WAY'SsPILLS. :
| Ifpeople understood the importancesoi
purgation with RADWAY'S PILLS, in
contradistinction Of purging with other
pills or powders, salts, oils, Seidlitz waters,
thcy wouldheed less plIysicing, save them
Iselyes from much suffering, and greatly
improve their health.
e't-s RAILWAYS PILLS 81
| ARE PERFECT PURaATIvEs.
They. are, ,aperient, tonic, laxative, stim
ulant, counter -irritant, sudorific, 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 Hur-
lem Oil, or Elaterium; and more soothing
and healing than SIENNA, or Rheubarb, or
Tamarinds, or Castor Oil. $50 7
AS ALTERNATIVES 81 la1'
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 Fcvers, 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. ts& ez gsA@
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 tne 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 M mbrane, pro-
duce 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 ,bc light
colored and watery, and attended
with cramps, griping pains, nausea,
aickness. By this increased unnatural
action of the bowels, the secretions of tho
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, the
irritation produced by the Drastic Purga
tive Pills will not only increase the dis
ease, but induce liberation; therefore,
great caution is required in attacks of in
fammation Of the bowells, bilious cholic
rheumatism, gout, &C., in the kind OF
pills to take. If RADWAY'S PILLS
are taken, cure will follow
There are 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. Inthesc
: diseases, RADWAY'S REGULATING
/ PILLS are far more certain, and the pa
1 tient avoids the danger which an overdose
. of Colchicum would infict. ~ es.,-r =.
In 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
i would produce, and the relaxation and
depletion that would follow, would be
4 likely to prove fatal. In these eases, a
mild soothing and gently stimulating lax
ative, that will purge and heal, soothe and
! strengthen, 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 depleting 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 were adopted in their
treatment. s.ii rs ls
Some advocates of DRASTIC fURGATIoN
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.
Il AVOID SALINE PURGATIVES!
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 tho cor
rupt humors, and that is all; but at the
expense of the liver, pancreas. kidneys
&C., not one atom of bile or other impuri-
ties is eliminated from the blood or serous
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 not ad,
, vance one step towards cure; and the
continued use of these evacuants 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 thu
, worst cases of dyspepsia, indigestion, cos
j, tiveness, &c. -. i'1
