WILSON'S PILLS. Raving retired from the practice of medicine, I may be permftted,to say that it has fallen to the lot of but few persons to have enjoyed so . liberal or large a ehdra of obstetrical practice as my ownlitis been for the last thirty ,or forty years. The experience of that long period of active life, and the fast of my , having.leten twice, Since 1830, associated with Dr. R. A. Wilson, in the practice of medicine, (in both a period of Ave years,) enables me to judge fully of the merits of his pills. Bo convenient, so efficient, and yet so safe, did I esteem these pills, that for the last tie years in practice, for the cure of chrcmio diseases of . ethatever name. and those of females in particular, I have used more of them than all other medicines. Like every other medicine, these must fail in some instances, but in my hands there has been less disappointment and more estiefaction in the administration of .this one remedy than of all others—its good effects sometimes quite astonishing ma. If AnY,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 dinoso oe ritystient,• the pills were just the thing wanted. If I treated a case 'requiring an emmenagogue, the Wil son's Pillwwerejustihe thing I wanted:. If palpitation, headache, flushed countenance, or other difficulties indicatinga.dlitnibance of the circulatory and secretory systems,' annoyed my patient at the teen of life, the Wilson's Pills were just the thing I wanted. Thus, withorit respect tothe name adisease mightbappeu to wear atthe time I have bad it under treatment, parties. lar • indications or symptoms arising were always; men promptly and moat happily met by the Wilson's Pills. That so great a number of diseases, and sometimes apparently opposite ones, in wldchl have used 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 ee that a greet many persons, should become thirsty from as many different causes,' nd Yet all require that common and greatest of all blessings, watere tr. quench their thirst. la conclusion, it is due the reputation of medicine and thepublie to say, decidedly and unconditionally, that the Wilson's. Pills ere the only combination I have ever met with in mylong course of practice that really possess any thing curative or specific for AWL-headache. Yours Ac DR. MILO ADAMS.
