DR. M'LANE'S
CELEBRATED
VERMIFUGE
A TSTT>
I LIVER PILLS.
\Y E eavc to atten_
tion of the Trade, and more
especially the Physicians of the
country, to two of the most popu
lar remedies now before the public.
! We refer to
llr. ('litis. M'Laiif's Crlcbratrd
Vermifuge and Liver Pills.
We do not recommend them as
universal Cure-alls, but simply for
what their name purports, viz.:
THE VERMIFUGE,
For expelling Worms from the
human system. It has also been
administered with the most satis
factory results to various Animals
subject to Worms.
TIIE LIVER PILLS,
For the cure of Li vER C OM I >i. A I NTS,
all BILIOUS DERANGEMENTS, SICK.
HEAD-ACHE, &rc. In cases of
FEVER AND AGUE,
preparatory to or after taking Qui
nine, they almost invariably make
a speedy and permanent cure.
As specifics for the above men
tioned diseases, they are Unrivaled,
and never known to fail when ad
ministered in accordance with the
directions.
Their unprecedented popularity
has induced the proprietors,
FLEMING BROT HERS,
PITTSBURGH, PA.
to dispose of their Drug business,
in which they have been success
fully engaged for the last Twenty
Years, and they will now give their
undivided time and attention to
their manufacture. And being de
termined that Dr. M'Lane's Cele
brated Vermifuge and Liver Pills
shall continue to occupy the high
position they now hold among the
great remedies of the day, they
will continue to spare neither time
nor expense in procuring the Best
and Purest material, and com
pound them in the most thorough
manner. Address all orders to
FLEMING BROS, rittsborgh, Pa.
P.S. Dealer* and Physicians ordering from other*
than Fleming Bros., will do well to write their orders
distinctly, and take TUIW, but L)r. M' prepared by
Fleming Bi as. Pittsburgh. Pa. To those wishing to give
them a trial, we will forward per mail, post paid, to any
part of the United States, one box of Pills for twelve
three-cent postage stamps, or one vial of Vermifuge for
fourteen three-cent stamps. All orders from Canada must
he accompanied by twenty cents extra.
