FOR ALL THE ee PURPOSES OF A onal mub\ FA MILY PHYSIC, HERE HAS LONG EXISTED A PUBLIC demand for an effective Purgative Pill which Could be relied on as sure and perfectly safe in its Operation. This has been prepared to meet that demand, and an extensive trial of its virtues has conclusitely shown with what success it accoim- Plishes the purpose designed. It is easy to make a ah hans iil, but not so easy to make the best of al 1 Pilis—one which sbould have none of the objections, but all the advantages of every other, This has been attempted here, and with what suc- cess we would respectfully submit to the public decision. It has been unfortunate for the patient hitherto that almost every purgative medicine is acrimonious and iritating tothe bowels. This isnot. Many of them produce so much griping pein and revulsion In the system as to more than counterbalance the good to be derived from them. These Plis produce ne {irritation or pain, unless it arises from a previously existing obstruction or derangementinthebowels Being purely vece- table, no harm can arise from thelr use in an quantity; but itis better than any medicine shou) be taken judicionsly. Minute directions for their nse tn th? several diseases to which they are ap- Pileable are given on the box. Among the com- plaints which have been speedily cured by them ‘we may méntion Liver Complaint, in its various forms of Jaundice, Indigestion, Langnorand Loss of Appetite, Listlessness, Irritability, B lious Headache, Billous Fever, Fever and Apue, Pain in the Side and Loins, for in truth, a)! these are but the consequence of diseased action of the As anaperient, they afford prompt and sure relief in Costiveness, Piles, Colic, Dysentery, Humors, Scrofula and Scurvy, Colds, with gore- ness of the bedy, Ulcers and impurity of the bleod: in short any and every case where a purya tive is required. Taey have also produced some singularly suc- essfui cures in Rbeumatism,Gout. proper 3787 el, Erysicelas, Ba Elomi of the Heart, Pains in the Back, Stomach and Side. They shorid be freely taken in the spring of the year, to purify the blood and prepare the system for the change of 3e4 An occesional dose stitaulates the stomar to healthy action, and restores the appe- tite and yipor. They purify the blood, a their stimu: section an the circ ‘ renovate the strength of the body, and ore the wasted or diseased energies of the whole organ- jem. Hence an occasional dose is advantageous even though no serious derangement exists; but unnecessary dosing should never be carried too far, as every purgative medicine reduces the strength, when taken toexceas The thovsand Gases in which a physic is required cannot be enu- merated here. but they suggest themselves to the Treason of every body; and it is confidently be lieved this pill will answer a better purpose than anything which has hitherto been available to mankin.
