sary i'll the total eradication of all bilious at

tenn Indeed, it is DO ordinary discovery in
medical science to have invented q remedy for
these stubborn complaints, which develop all
the results produced by Il heretofore free use of
calomel, mineral justly dreaded by mankind,
and acknowledged to be destructive in the eN-
IRENE to the human system. That the proper
ties of certain vegetables comprise all the vir-
tues of calomel without its injurious tendencies,
Is now an admitted fact, rendered indisputable
by scientific researches; and those who use the
Mandrake Pills will be fully satisfied that the
best medicines are those provided by nature in
the common herbs and roots of the fields
These pills open the bowels and correct all
bilious arrangements without salvation or any
of the injurious effects of caomel or other poi
sons. The secretion of bile is promoted by
these pills, as will be seen by the altered color
of the stools, and disappearing of the sallow
complexion and cleansing Of the tongue.
