A GRAND EPOCH IN MEDICINE,

DR.. Maggieli the founder of a new medical
system. The quantitarians whose vast internal
doses enfeeble the stomach and paralyze the bow
els and with whose external remedies the ulcerat-
ed and eruptive surfaces of the skin are deluged
in vain must give place to the man who restores
his health and appetite with from one to three
harmless pills, and cures the most virulent and
scrofulous disorders with from one to three bexes
of his matchless sslve.
"a DR.. Maggiel's Pills and Salve have ushered in
a new medical era. No more nauseating avalan-
ches of drastic drugs need be poured down sick
peoples threats. One of Maggiel's Pills recti6es
the disordered condition Of the stomach and liver,
cleanses the head and restores the nerves in a
space Of time short enough to be almost classed
as marvellous.
In fact Maggiels Bilious. Dyspeptic and Diarr-
hea Pills cure where all others fail. While for
Burns, Scalds, Chibains, Cuts, and all abrassions
of the skim Maggiels Salve is infallible.
