y NEW AND GRAND EPoCH IN MEDICINE
Dr.. MagSicl is the founder Of = new mcdi-
cal lsystem! The quantitarians, whose vast
internal doses cnfeoblo the stomach and
paralyze the bowels, must give precedence
to the man who restores health and appc-
tito, wi.h from one to two OF his extraordi-
nary Pills, and cures the most virulent
sores with 4 box or so OF his wonderful and
all-hcalinS Salvc. These two great speci-
tcs OF the Doctor arc fast srperscdng all
the sLercotyped nostrums Of tho day. Ex-
traordinary cures by 3Iaggicl's Pills and
Salve have opened the eyes of the public to
the inefiicicncy of the (so-called) remedies
OF others, and upon which people have so
long blindly depended. Maggel's Pills ara
not of the class tLat are swallowed hy the
dozen, and of which every box full taken
creates an absolute necessity for another.
Ono or two or MaSgiels Pills suifices to
place the bowels in perfect order, tone the
stomach, create an appetite and render the
spirits light and buoyant. There is no
gripping and no reaction in the form OF con-
snpation. If the liver is effected, its func-
tons arc restored; and if the nervous sys-
tenn is feeble, it is invigoratcd This last
quality makes the medicines very desirable
for the wants OF delicate females. Ulcerous
and cruptivo diseases are literally oxtin-
grished by the tlis!nfcctant power OF Mag
Slcls Salvc. In fact, it is here announced
that kaggiels bilious, Dyspeptic and Dia,--
rh(na |Ws cure where all others fail. While
for burns, scalds, chilblains, cuts and all
abrasions Of the skin Maggiers .Solce is in
fallibie. Sold by J. Maggiel, II Pine street,
