WILSON'S PILLS. !laving retired from the practice of medicine, I may be permitted to say that it has fallen to the lot of but few persons to have enjoyed so liberal or large a ebere of obstetrical practice ae my own has been for the last thirty or forty yoare. Ths-waperiertee of-that long period.of active life, and the fact of,my having been Melee, since 1830. associated with Dr. R.A. Wiliam, in the practice of maths (in both a period of five years,) enables me to judge fully.of the merits of his pills. So convenient, so efficient, and yet so safe, did I esteem these pills, that for the last five years in practice, for the cure of chronic-diseases of whatever name. and those of females in particular, I have need more of them than all other medicines. Like every other medicine, these must fail in some instances, but in my handethere Lis been less disappointment and more satisfaction in the admlniztratiork of this one remedy than of all others—its good effects sometimes quite astonishing me. If my patient required a safe aperient medicine, either before or after parturition, the Wilson's Pills were just the thing I wanted. If a dyspeptic acid condition of the stomach, combined with costiveness, or inactivity of the liver, constituted the disease of my patient, the pills were just the thing 1 wanted: If I treated a ease requiring an emmenagogue, the 'Wil son's Pills were just the thing I wanted. If palpitation, headache, flushed countenance, or other difficulties indicating a disturbance of the circulatory and secretory systems ' annoyed my patient at the tarn of life, the Wilson ' s Pills were jest the thing I wanted. ThuscUithout respect to the name a disease might happen to weer attle time Ilaave bad it under treatment, particu lar indications or .symptoms arieing were always most promptly and most happily met by the Wilson's Pills. That so:great a number of diseases, and sometimes apparently appetite ones, in which I have used those pills, should he cured more readily by them than by any other remedy, may at first Beam strange and contradictory, but why it is so, is as clear to my mind as theta great many persona should become, thirsty from as many different causes, and •yet all require that common and greatest of all blessings, water, to quench their thirst. la conclusion, It is due the , repubstiou 'of Medicine and the public to say, decidedly , and "unconditionally, that the Wilson's:Pills aro the only combinatioii I have aver met with in my long comas of practice that really possess any thing curative•or specific for Mck.headache. • . dc., DR.
