T1O TIE PEOPLE OF VIRGINIA.
If you need one of the best remedies ever Of
fered to the people Of this State for Derangenlens
of the Liver such as Congestion of the Liver Tor
por of the Liver, Deficient Secretion OF Bile and
the long list of diseases resulting from such de-
rangements as Jaundice, Bilious Colo, Loss of p
petite, Dyspepsia, Eructations of food, Flatulen-
Cyl painful digestion, Or pain in the stomach or
sides, Vertigo, Headache, sick Headache, Neu-
ra1gia, Rheumatism, Impurty of the blood, and
all conditions ordinarily called Bilious, Derange-
ments of the Digestive Organs; all forms Of Con-
stipation, and for all the purposes of Family
Pill, use "Dr T. Renno,ds' celebrated Virginia
IIepatic and Purgative Pill
This pill is not the invention of quack or an
impostor, designed to impose upon public credu-
lily, but was compounded by DR.. 7. Rennolds,
of Staunton, Va, regular graduate and eminent
practitioner of medicine in this section who, after
years of careful study, so arranged the proper
tons of the ingredients to render it applicable
to the diseases for which it is recommended He
had 70 idea of extending their use beyond the
community in which he lived and practiced, but,
after his death, which occurred in January 1864,
having left the formula for compromising them to
his brother VIM. Rennolds, Of Louisa county,
| Va; the latter, for reasons stated in pamphlet
around box containing them, has undertaken to
| have them manufactured for the people of the
whole State.
This pill has stood the test ofample experience,
having been extensively used and highly valued
by the people of this section for many years. as is
snbstantated by certificates contained in PAM
phlet around box as well as other evidences of
| appreciation from many of our most distinguished
! and reliable citizens.
The price of this pill is fifty cents per box
Though this is apparently higher than the price
charged for those ordinarily sold to the public,
! yet it must be remembered that the dose is less
than one half of the latter, and consequently is
| just as cheap as any Others
To prove this, it is only necessary to call atten-
ton to the fact that boxes of pills usually contain
| from "a to 80 pills. the average dose being from
3 to 6. Our boxes contain IL, the dose being on
ly one for ordinary purposes, and hence thequan-
tity is just as great in smaller bulk without ref
erencc to the certainty and efficiency Of the rem
dy and obviatng the serious objection to taking
so many for one dose.
| Nothing is claimed for this pill that We do moi
conscienciously believe and if we cannot succeed
in introducing it to the people by stating the
truth, we will not degrade ourselves or try to inn
pose upon others by going beyond it..
