Raving retired from the practice of medicine, I may be permitted to say that it has fallen to the lot or but few persona to have enjoyed so liberal or large a share of obstetrical practice as my own has been for the last thirty or forty years.. The experience of that long period of active life, sod the fact of my hating been twice, since 1830. associated with Dr. P.. A. Wilson, in the practice of medicine, (in both a 'period of five years,) enables ens to judge fully of the merits of his Ole. . Eli 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 medl ine, these mast fail In some instances, but in my hands there has been less disappointment and more satisfaction in the administration of this one remedy than - of all others—ita good effects sometimes quite astonishing me. If my patient required r safe 'aperient medicine, either before or after parturition, the Wilson's PUla 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 I wanted.. IMMT3 If I treated a ease - requiring an examenagegne, the Wil son's Pills were just the thing I wanted. If palpitation. headache, flushed countenance. or other difficulties indicating a disturbante of the circulatory and secretory systems. annoyed my patient at the turn of life, the Wilson's Pills were just the thing 'I Wanted. Thus, without respect to theaaame a disease mighthappen to wear at the time I have had it under treatment, particu lar indications or symptoms arising were al eays most promptly and most happily met by the Wilson's Pills. That so great a number of diseasea,. and sometimes apparently opposite ones, in which I have need those pills, should be cured more readily by them than by any other remedy, may at first seem strange and contradictory, but why it is so, is as clear to my mind as that a greet many persons should become thirsty from as many different causes, and yet all require that common and greatest of all blessings, water, to quencii their thirst. In conclusion, it is due the reputation of medicine and the.public to say, decidedly and unconditionally, that the Wilson's Pills are ttie only combination I have ever met `with in my long course of practice that really possess any thing curative or specific for hick headache.
