The Dandelion and Mandrake Pills,
made by L. X. thompson, are a very mild tonic
and diuretic, stimulating the liver to secrete the
bite aud acid which forms about The torpid organ,
passing from thence into the blood affecting the
heart, stomach and digestive organs. We recon-
mend taking one pill every night for twenty or
thirty days, as a tonic and cleanser of the stom-
seh, without regard to moving the bowels, for
when We produce healthy action Of the stomach,
