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 PURGATIyEs.
They are aperient, tonic, laxative, slim
ulant, counter-irrit sudorifc, altera-
tive. They are entirely Vegetable, and
the only vegetable substitute for Calo,ncl,
Mercury, Antimony,s Blue Pill, in the
Arcana Of Medicine. AS evacuants, they
are more certain aud 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.
"a AS ALTERNATIVES fs.Ei y !.
They exercise "a 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 sccretions 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 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
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 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 egriping pains, nausea;
aickness By this increased unnatural
action of the bowels, the secretions of the
kidneys and / pancreus are diminished
followed by affections of the kydneys
blapder, urethra, piles, tenesmus, general
prostration, costiyeness, and indigestion.
In active and dinf1mmatory diseases, the
irritation produced BY the Drastic Purga
tive Pills win not only increase the dis.
ease, but induce ufceration; therefore,
great caution is required in attacks of in,
Aammation of the bowels, bilious cholic
rheu matism, gout, &C., in the kind ot
pills to take. IF RADWAY'Sa PILLS
are taken, cure will follow vsa aN
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 infict. 400
In yellow, Typhoid, and Bilious Fe-
yers, in Erysipelas, Small Pox, purgation
is highly essential; but to administer q
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, q
mild soothiug 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 thu
want of purgative like Railways Pills
that will purge, without depicting or inter
fering with the functions OF other sccre
tions: Not one ina hundred of yellow
and other fever cases would prove fata
If Railways Pills were adopted in 9theil
treatment
Some advocates Of DRASTIC PURGATIon
erroneously hold that gripping, nausea
sickness, tenesmus, during the operation
of their pills, is a favorable sign;s if thei
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 othe
[humors, which their imperfect pills, fai
to purge out Of the system, that OCCASION
the pain. By examining the stools evac
uated after severe gripping, they will b.
! found thin and watery. ssf * fls55aL
AVOID SALINE PURGATIVESi
Many persons are in the habit of takin,
Salts, Seiditz Water, Magnesia, &c., t
regulate their bowels. This is erroneous
They succeed in obtaining an evacuatiol
of the watery parts only, leaving the cor
rupt humors, and that is all; but at tn
Iexpense of the liver, pancrcas. kidneys
l&c., not one atom of bile or other impuri
ties is eliminated from the blood or serou
fluid. IF you are dyspeptic, or trouble'
with heartburn, sour eructious, head-ache
} indigestion, these difficulties still re1dai
f to torture and vex you, You do not .ad
