A GRAND EPOCH IN MEDICINE.
DR.. Maggiel is the founder Of a new medical
system. The quantitarians whose vast internal
doses enfeeble the stomach and paraly ne the bow
els and with whose external remedies the ucerat-
ed and eruptive surfaces Of the skin 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 salve
DIR. Maggiers Pills and Salve have ushered in
a new medical era. No more nauseating syslan-
ches of drastic drugs need be poured down sick
peoples throats. One OF Maggiel's Pills reetihes
the disordered condition of the stomach and liver,
cIesnses the head and restores the nerves in a
space of time short enough to be almost clsssed

In fact Msggiel's Bilious. Dyspeptic and Disrr-
