Of all the various ills that detract from the en
toyment of human life, most of them may be traced
to a disordered condition of the nervous system.-
The horrors of Epilepsy, or falling Sickness, arise j
in most cases from this cause. Our readers may re- j
member, on several occasions before, we have allu
ded to the wonderful cures, or modifications ol hits,

kc . We now record the fact, that persons will find
these Pills equally efficacious in curins every lortu
of nervous debility : —no matter whether maiiifes-,
ted in tbe acute and excruciating iorm of Neural
gia, Tic-Doloreux, or Nervous Headache, the misery
of Dyspepsia or Indigestion, the sufferings o; Rheu
matism or Gout, the melancholy hallucination of
depressed spirits or hysteria, their effects will be
erually happy and certain. Persons ill the country

nine, they almost invariably make
a speedy and permanent cure.

tioned diseases, they are Unrivaled,,
and never known to fail when ad

undivided time and attention to
their manufacture. And being de
