10 TIIE PUBLIC, and Tortienlarly to my forme?
A. patrons of this city:—llaving retired from the
pray tie, of Medicine, y permitted ro say, that it
has !alien to ;lie lot of t ut few persons to 'have enjoyed
so Ilheral or larlie a share of olistretriral practice as my
own has been for the last 30 or 40 years.
The experience of that lone period of active life, and the
f ac t o f my booi ng been t wire, since 1830.associaled with
Dr. R. A. Wilson, in the pi actire of medicine, (in both a
period of live years.) enables me to judge fully of the
merits of his pills.
So convenient, so efficient, and yet so see, did esteem
three pills, that for the last flee yearein my practice ibr
the cure ofchronic disrasei,or whatever nnm.t, and those
of females in particular, I have used more 01 them thnn
all other medicines.
Like every other medicine, this must fail In some in
stances, but in my hands there has been less disappoint,
meet and more satisfaction in the administration of this
one remedy than of ail others; Its good effects sometimes
quite astonishing in•.
If my patient required a safe aperient medicine either
..rote or after parturition, the Wilson's pt.ls were just
the thing I wanted,
If a dyspeptic acid condition of the stomach, combined
with costiveness or inactivity ofthe liver, coast ituted the
disease 3r my patient. the hills were Jest fhe thing I
wanted.
If I treated a case requiring an e mmenagogne, the
Wilson's pills were just the thing I svantetio
If palpitation, headache, flushed countenance, or other
dificulties, indicating a disturbance of the circulatory
an secretory systems, annoyed my patient at the 'turn
of Ire,' the Wilson's pills were just the thing I wanted.
Tiug, without resnmt to the name, a disease might
haPilm to wear at the time I have had it under treat

pital in the city of Roston. That after being in said
hospital five 'weeks, Doctor Olis said lie did not know
what was the mallet with him, and that he could do
nothing for him, nor could he prescribe any medicine
That lie, therefore, was conveyed from the Chelsea Hos

was there physicked with all sorts of medicine for a peri

At this time he was suffering he greatest misery. That

no more medicine he determined to procure some of Dr.,

timesincreased the dose to eight. The first week's use
so much benefited him, that the doctor, not knowing
