AS ALTERNATIVES IS t,s
They exercise a more powerful iufu

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-
| lstaitic movement of the bowels by irritat-
ing the coats of the intestines. tssf'
A large dose of the Drastic Pills will,
by irritating the mqc Gus IN mbrane, pro-
duee violent expulsion of the contents
in the bowels, but in so doing other se-
cretions are suspended In such cases,
tthe 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
kidneys and pancreas are diminished,
followed by. affections of the kidneys,
blapder, urethra, piles, tencsmus, general
prostratien, costiyeness, and indigestion. =
In active and infammatory diseases, the
irritation produced by the Drastic Purca-
tive Pills willanot only increase the dis
ease, but induce liberation; therefore.
great caution is required in attacks of in
fammation of the bowels, bilious cholic,
rheumatism, gout, &c., in the kind of
pills to take. If RADWAY'S PILLS
are taken, cure will follow.

In Yellow, Typhoid, and Bilious Fe-

is highly essential; but to administer a
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 eases, a
mild soothing and gently stimulating lax
ative, that willpurge 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 a purgative like Railways Pills,
