effects abundantly show how much they excel all
other Pills They are safe and pleasant to take,
but powerful to cure. They purge out the foul
humors of the blood; they stimulate the slug
gish or disordered organ into action and they
impart health and tone to the whole being.
They cure not only the everyday complaints of
everybody, but formidable and dangerous dis
eases. Most skillful physicians, most eminent
clergymen, and our best citizens, send certificates
of cures performed and of great benefits they
have derived from these Pills. They are the
safest and best physic for children, because mild
as well as effectuaI. Being sugar coated, they
easy to take; and being purely vegetable,
they are entirely harmless.
