NO Y PILLS ARE MADE.

FHE custom of taking medicine
E i'll the form of pills dates far
back in history. The object is to
enable us to swallow easily in con-
densed form disagreeable and nau-
seous, but very useful, drugs. To
what vast dimensions pill-taking
has grown may be imagined when
we say that in England alone about
1000, 100000 (two thousand mil.
lion) pills are consumed every year.
In early days pills were made slowly
by hand, as the demand was COM
paratively small. To-day they are
produced with infinitely greater
rapidly by machines especially con-
trived for the purpose, and with
greater accuracy, too, in the pro-.
portions of the various ingredients
employed.
No form of medication can be
better than a pill, provided only it
is intelligently prepared. But light
here occurs the difficulty. Easy as
it may seem to make pill, or a
million of them, there are really very
few pills that can be honestly com
mended for popular use. Most of
them either understood or overshoot
the mark. AS everybody takes pills
of some kind, it may be well to men,
ton what good, safe, and reliable
pill should be. Now, when one feels
dull and sleepy, and has more or
less pain in the head, sides, and
back, he may be sure his bowels are
constipated, and his liver sluggish.
To remedy this unhappy state of
things there is nothing like good
cathartic pill. 1t will act like a
charm by stimulating the liver into
doing its duty, and Kidding the
digestive organs of the accumulated
| poisonous matter.
But the good pill does not grippe
and pain us, neither does it make us
sick and miserable for a few hours
or whole day. 1t acts on the
entire glandular system at the same
time, else the after effects of the
pill will be worse than the disease,
itself. The gripping caused by most
pills is the result of irritating drugs
which they contain. Such pills are
harmful, and should never be used.
They sometimes even produce
hemorrhoids. Without having any
particular desire to praise one pill
above another, we may, neverthe-
less, name Mother Seigel's Pills,
manufactured by the well-known
house of A. j. White, Limited, So,
Harrington Road, London, and now
sold by all chemists and medicine
vendors, as the only one we know
of that actually possesses every
desirable quality. They remove the
pressure upon the brain, correct the
liver, and cause the bowels to act
with ease and regularity. They
never grippe or produce the slightest
sickness of the stomach, or any
other unpleasant feeling or symp-
tom. Neither do they induce fur
ther constipation, as nearly all other
pills do. As further and crown
ing merit, Mother Seigel's Pills are
covered with a tasteless and harm
less coating, which causes them to
resemble pearls, thus rendering
them as pleasant to the palate as
they are effective in curing disease.
If you have a severe cold and are
threatened with fever, with pains
in the head, back, and limbs, one
or two doses will break up the cold
and prevent the fever. A coated
tongue, with brackish taste in the
mouth is caused by foul matter in
the stomach. A dose of Seigel's
Pills will effect a speedy cure.
Often-times partially decayed food
in the stomach and bowels produces
sickness, Nausea. &c. Cleanse the
bowels with a dose of these pills,
and good health will follow.
Unlike many kinds of pills, they
do not make you feel worse before
you are better. They are, without
doubt, the best family physic ever
discovered. They remove all OBJ,
structions to the natural functions
in either sex without any unpleasant
effects. Jan. 1881
