From DR.. E ". Cartwright, Netc Orleans.
Your Pills are the prince of purges. Their ex-
cellent qualities surpass any cathartic possess.
They are mild but very certain and eectua in their
action on the bowels, which makes them invaluable
to us in the daily treatment of disease.

DR. AVER: Your Pills are the paragon of all that
ts great in medicine. They have cured my little
daughter OF ulcerous sores upon her hands and feet
that had proved incurabe for wears. Her mother
has been long grievously afflicted with blotches and
pimples on her skin and i'm her hair. After our
child was cured, che also tried your Pills, and they
have cured her. ASA MCRGRlDGE.

From DR.. Theodore Bell, Of Ne,c Fork City
Not only are your Pills admirably adapted to their
purpose as an aperient, but find their beneficial
effects upon the Liver very marked indeed. They
have in my practice proved more effectual for the
cure of bilious complaints than any one remedy
can mention ! sincerely rejoice that we have at
length purgative which is worthy the confidence Of
the profession and the people.
