purgation with RADWAY'S PILLS, in
Icontradistinction 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 PURGATIv vEs.
They are aperient, tonic, laxative, stim-
ulant, counter-irritant, sudorifc, altera
tive. They are entirely Vegetable, and
the only vegetable substitute Tor Caiomcl,
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.
AS ALTERNATIVES
They exercise more powerful iufu
ence over the liver, and its secrctions 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-
vcrs, 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 purgativc 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-
ling the coats Of the intestines
A large dose of the Drastic Pills will,
by irritating the muc Gus Iii 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 be light
colored and watery, and attended
with cramps, gripping pains, nausea,
aickness. By this increased unnatural
action of the bowels, the secretions of the
tkydneys 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 alterations; therefore.
great caution is required in attacks of in,
flammation Of the bowels, bilious cholic
rheumatism, gout, &C., in the kind OF
pills to take. If RADWAY'S PILLS
are taken, cure will follow
tha,.o al.
, 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 overdos,
of Colchicum would inhict.
In Yellow, Typhoid, and Bilious Fe
vers, in Erysipelas, Small Pox, purgatiol
is highly essential; but to administer
dose of Drastic Pills, the irritation the,
would produce, and the relaxation an,
depletion that would follow, would b
likely to prove fatal. In these cases,
mild soothing and gently stimulating lax
ative, that will purge and heal, soothe an,
I. strengthen, like Railways Regulatin,
Pills, is required. The cause of so man.
deaths in these diseases is owing to IT,
: want Of a purgatiye like Railways Pills
that will purge, without depicting or inter
fering with the functions or other secre
= tions: Not one in hundred of Yello,
- and other fever cases would prove fata
80 if Railways Pills were adopted in thei
treatment.
Some advocates of DRASTIC fURGATIo
oe enormously hold that gripping, nause;
er sickness, tenesmus, during the operatio
y, of their pills, is favorable sign if thei
ne pills, expelled with the faces the disease
~ humors left circulating in the system
a.. a. there would be but little pain or gripins
pd 1t is the absence of the bile and othe
be humors, which their imperfect pills, ia
of to purge out of the system, that occasion

th Many persons are in the habit of takin
,e- Salts, Seiditz Water, Magnesia, &c.,
I'D. regulate their bowels. This is erroneou
They succeed in obtaining an .eyacuatio
of the watery parts only, leaving the CO
: rupt humors, and that is all; but at IL
u expense of the liver, pancreas, kidney
~ &C., not one atom of bile orother impur
ties is eliminated from the blood or sero,
fluid. If you are dyspeptic, or trouble
b. with heartburn, sour eructions, head ZACH
indigestion, these difficulties still rema
to torture and vex you. You do not a
us vance one step towards cure; and Il
cia continued use Of these evacuants are a
uus' to accumulate and form concretions in Il
ts1 stomach. A dose of Railways Pills, on
sgg or twice week, will keep all the secr
tions in a healthy condition, and cure t
no. worst cases of dyspepsia, indigestion, &C
