RADWAY'S PILLS
+ ARE PERFEcr PURGATIvEs.
They are aperient. tonic, laxative, stim-
ulant, counter-irritant, sudorifc, altera-
tive. They are entirely Vegetable, and
the only vegetable substitute for Oalomel
Mercury, Anthony, 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
aud healing than SIENNA, or Rheubarb, OF
Tamarinds, or Castor Oil.
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, Dyspep-f
lsia, Bilious attacks, Headache, &c. In
the treatment of Fevers, either Bilious,
Yellow, Typhoid, and other reducing fet
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. s&s = 4
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-
istaltlc movement of the bowels by irritat-
ing the coats of the intestines.
A large dose of the Drastic Pills will.
by irritating the muc GUS m mbranel lpro-
duce violent expulsion of the contents
lin the bowels, but in so doing other Sc
cretiens are suspended, In such cases.
the stools will be found to be light
4colored and watery, and attended
with cramps, griping pains, nausea,
aickness. By this increased unnatural
faction of the bowels, the secretions of the
tkydneys and papcreas are diminished,
followed by affections of the kydneys,
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
fiammation of the bowels, bilious cholic.
rheumatism, gout, &C., in the kind OF
pills to take. IF RADWAY,S PILLS
are taken, a cure will follow.

Chronic rheumatism; Gout, Enlargement
of the Liver, Spleen sEniargement, dis
eases caused by the excessive use of Cal
omel, Mercury, Quininc, in which Colchi.
cum G oiac 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 inflict.
In Yellow, Typhoid, and Bilious Fe-
yers, in Erysipelas, Small Pox, purgation
is highly essential; but to administer !
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. 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 manv
deaths in these diseases is owing to the
want Of purgatiye like Railways Pills,
that will purge, without depicting 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.
Some advocates of DRASTIC fURGATrON
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 eyac-
uated after severe gripping, they will be
found thin and watery. gzs...
AVOID SALINE PURGATIVESi
/ 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 rotber 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 adj
! vance one step towards a 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, the
worst cases of dyspepsia, Indigestion, cos
tiveness, &c.
| If . gentle movement of the bowels is
required, take from one to three; if a
brisk and thorough purge is desired, take
from four to six. PRICE 25, CTS per
