DIR. RADWiY:S- PILLS.

Ii people understood the Importance OF
purgation with RADWAY'S 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 8.
ARE PERFECT aATIyEs.
They are operient tonic, laxative, stim
ulant, counter-irritant sudorifc, altera-
tive. They are entirely Vegetable, and
the only vegetable substitute for Calomel,
Mercury, Antimony, Blue Pill, in the
Arcana of Medicine. As eyacuants, 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. it9
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, Dyspcp-
i 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. .t2Ss
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 the per
istaltic movement of the bowels by irritat-
ing the coats of the intestines
! A large dose of the Drastic Pills will

duce a 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 be light
colored and watery, and attended
with cramps, gripping pains, nausea
aickness.- BY this increased unnatural
action of the bowels, the sccretions of the
lkydneys and pancreas are diminished
followed by affections of the kidneys
blapder, urethra, piles, tcnesmus, general
prostration, cestiveness, and Indigestion.
In active andinfammatory diseases, the
irritation produced by the Drastic Purga.
tive Pills will not only increase the dis
case, but induce alterations; therefore,
/ great caution is required in attacks of in

pills to take. IF RAILWAYS PILLS
are taken, cure will follow
i There are class of chronic diseases,

of the Liver, Spleen Enlargement, dis
eases caused by the excessive use of Cad
omel, Mercury, Quinine, in which Colchi-
cum Goiac are prescribed freely. Inthese

PILLS are far more certain, and the pa
tient avoids the danger which an overdose

In Yellow, Typhoid, md Bilious Fe-
vers, in Erysipelas, Small Pox, purgation
is highly essential; but to administer a
dose Of Drastic Fills, tho irritation they
would produce, ind the relaxation and
Idepletion that would follow, would be
likely to prove ftal In these cases, 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 diieascs is owing to the
want of a purgative like Radway S. Pills,
that will purge, without depicting orinter-
fering with the functions or other secre-
tions: Not one ina hundred of Yellow
and other fever cases would prove fatal
if Railways Pills yere- adopted in their
treatment. k5Al. t
Some advocates Of Drastic rURGATtoN
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 SALINEfPURGATIVES!
I Many persons are in the habit of taking
Salts, Ssiditz Water, Magnesia, &c., tt
regulate theirbowels. This. is erroneous
: They succeed in obtaining an evacuation
, of the watery parts only, leaving the cor
J rupt humors, and that is all; but at tn,
) expense of the liver, pancreas, kidneys
&C., not one atom Of bile orother impuri
ties is eliminated from the blood or scrou
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 a cure; and til,
continued use of these .evacuants are ap
to accumulate and form concretions in th
stomach A dose of Railways Pills, one
|Awice week, will keep all the secre
tions in healthy condition, and cure tn
, worst cases of dyspepsia, indigestion, cos
. .tiveness, &c.
If gentle movement of the bowels j
> required, take from one to three; if +
