HOW PILLS ARE MADE.

THE custom of taking medicine
Il in 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
2,000,000,000 (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
rapidity 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 pill, provided only it
is intelligently prepared. But right
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 we'll 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-knowr
house of A. j. White, Limited, 80
harrington Road, London, and nov
sold by all chemists and medicine
vendors, as the only one we know
of that actually possesses ever,
desirable quality. They remove th'
pressure upon the brain, correct tn
liver, and cause the bowels to &C
with ease and regularity. The,
never grippe or produce the slightes
sickness of the stomach, or an,
other unpleasant feeling or symp
tom. Neither do they induce fur
Their constipation, as. nearly all othe
pills do. AS a further and crown
ing merit, Mother Seigel's Pills ar
covered with a tasteless and harm
less coating, which causes them t
resemble pearls, thus rendering
them as pleasant to the palate a
they are effective in cusing disease
If you have severe cold and ar
threatened with a fever, with pain
in the head, back, and limbs, on
or two doses will break up the col
and prevent the fever. A coate
tongue, with a brackish taste in tn
mouth is caused by foul matter i
the stomach. A dose of Seigel'
Pills will effect a speedy cur,
Often-times partially decayed foo
in the stomach and bowels producs
sickness, nausea, &c. Cleanse tn
bowels with a dose of these pill
