A New and Grand Epochin Medicine

DR.. Maggiel is the founder Of Q new
Medical SYSTEM! The quantitarians,
whose vast internal doses enfeeble the
stomach aud paralyze the bowels, must
give precedence to the man who restores
health and appetite, with from one to two
Of his extraordinary Pills, and cures the
most yirulent sores with,a box or so Of his
wonderful and all healing Salve.r These
two great specifics Of the Doctor are fast
superceding all the stereotyped nostrams Of
the day. Extraordinary cures by Maggiel's
Pills and Salve have opened the eyes Of
the public to the ineficiency Of the $50
called remedies Of others, and upon which
people have SO long blindly depended
Maggiel's Pills are not Of the class that are
swallowed by the dozen, and Of which eve,
ry box full taken creates an absolute me-
cessity for another. One or two Of Mag
gels Pills suffice to place, the bowels in
perfect order, tone the stomach, create
an appetite and render the spirit light and
buoyant! There,is no gripping, and no
reaction in the form Of constipation. II
the liver is effected, its functions are re-
stored and if the nervous system is feeble
it is inyigorated. This last quality makes
the medicines very desirable for the wants
of delicate females. Uicerous and eruptiye
diseases are literally extinguished by the
disinfectant power Of Maggiels Salye. In
fact, it is here announced that MAGG1EI s
BILIOUS, DYsPEPT1c AND DIARRHEA PILLS
cure where all others fall While for
Burns, Scalds, Chilblains, Cuts and all
abrasions of the skin MAaG1EL's SALvE is
infallible. Sold byrF. p. DucoSeE, No
