DR., RADWAY'S PILLS.

IF 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
ARE PERFECT URaATIvEs.
They are aperient, 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 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. 3.Ifgf
AS ALTERNATIVES
They exercise more powerful lut1u
ence over the liver, and its secretions than
calomel, mercury, blue pill, hence their
Importance in cases of Liver Complaints
and Spleen difficulties, Jauudice, Dyspep-
sia, Bilious attacks, Head ache, &c: In
the treatment of Fevers, either Bilious,
Yellow, Typhoid, and other reducing te-
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 local, or confined to
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 N mbrane, pro-
duce violent expulsion of the contents
in the bowels, but in so doing other Sc
eretiens are suspended. In such cases,
the stools will be found to be Hight
colored and watery, and attended
with cramps, gripping pains, nausea,
aickness 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, 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
flammation of the bowels, bilious eholic,
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. Inthese
diseases, RADWAY'S REGULATING
PILLS are far more certain, and the pa
tient avoids the danger which an overdose
of Colchicum would inhict, - s.ss...
In Yellow, Typhoid, and Bilious Fe-
vers, in Erysipelas, Small Pox, purgation

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, 8
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 depicting or inter
fering with the functions or other secre.

and other fever cases would prove fata

AVOID SALINE PURGATIVESllt
Many persons are in the habit of takins
Salts, Seiditz Water, Magnesia, &C., t.

They succeed in obtaining an evacuation
of the watery parts only, leaving tho cor
rupt humors, and that is all; but at th
expense of the liver, pancreas, kidneys
&C., not one atom of bile or other impuri
ties is eliminated from the blood or serou
fluid. If you are dyspeptic, or trouble'

indigestion, these difficulties still renal

continued use of these evacuants are ap
