RADWAY'S PILLS
ARE PERFECT PURGATIy yEs
They are aperient, tonic, laxative, stim
uhnt, counter r-irritant, sudorifc, altera
tive. They are entirely Vegetable, ant
the only vegetable substitute for Calomel.
Mercury, Antimony, Blue Pill, in the
Arcana Of Medicine As evacuants. theS
are more certain and thorough than tht
Drastic Pills Of Aloes, or Croton and Har-
lem Oil, or Elaterium; and more soothing
and healing than Sienna, or Rheubarb, OF
Tamarinds, or Castor Oil.
AS ALTERNATIVES
They exercise a more powerful iuhu
ence over the liver, and its secretions than
calomcl, mercury, blue pill, hence their
importance in cases of Liver Complaints
and Spleen difficulties, Jaundice. Dyspen-
sia, Bilious attacks, Headache, &c. In
the treatment Of Fevers, either Bilious,
Yellow, Typhoid, and other reducing fe-s
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 depositsssa and impure
humors IS
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 tire 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 niue Gus m mbrane, pro-
auce a violent expulsion of the contents
in the bowels, but in so doing other Sc
cretions are suspended. In such eases.
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 aof the
kidneys and pancreas 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
Aammation of the bowels, bilious eholic,
rheumatism, gout, &c., in the kind OF
pills to take. If RADWAY,S PILLS
are taken, a cure will follow.
There are q class of cbro,,;o J;so;,S,os
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.
In Yellow, Typhoid, and Bilious Fe-
vers, in Erysipelas, Small Pox, purgation
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 cases. a
mild soothing and gently stimulating lax
ative, that will purge and heal, soothe aud
strengthen, like Railways Regulating
Pills, is required. The eanse of SO many
deaths in these diseases is owing, to the
want of a purgatige like Railways Pills.
thatwill purge, without depicting orinter-
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 fURGATIoN
enormously hold that, gripping, nausea,
sickness, tenesmus,a 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
1.-THE pain. By examining the stools evac-
luated after severe gripping, they will be
found thin and watery
! AVOID SALINE PURGATIVESl 6
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 the cor
rupt pthunors, and that is all; but at the
expense of the liver, pancfeas,, kydneys,
&C., not one atom of bile orother iimpuhrf-
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 ad-
vance one step towards acure,, and the
continued use of these evacuants arc apt
to accumulate and form coAeretions in, the
stomach. A dose of Radway' Pills, once
or twice week, viii keep all the secre-
tions in a healthy condition, and cure the
worst cases of dyspepsia, indigestion, cos
tiveness, sc. - te e7sl
