that in no case whatever will it fail to cure IL
the direct ons are strictly followed 0nd carried
out. In a great many cases q single dose has
been sufficient for a cure, and whole families
have been cured by single bottle, with per-

will not require any aid to keep the bowels in
good order. Should the patient, however. re-
quire carthartic medicine, after having tax

dose of BULLS VEGETABLE FAMILY Pills
will be sufficient.
