These,pi[i* pfeduce no. trritMioa or Pi, unless it anso from a previously existing obstruc tion or derangement in the boweto;' Benig purely vegetable, no harm can arise from tlsetipse in any quantity ; but it is better that any medicine should be taken judiciously,. Minute directions for. their use in the several diseases to which they are ap plicable are ffvrn on the box. Among the com plajit.s..uiti h have bean speedily cured by them, wo mr'y mention Liver Complaint,.in its various forma of Jatindicte, Indigestion, languor ana Less of Ap- Derive,,Listlessness, Irritability, Bilious Headache, Bilious Ftver, Fever and Ague t ,Paia in the Side atid liOins ; fof, in trfith, all thfcz? are but the con sequence of diseased -aorion-id the liver.

Piles, Colie, : Dysentery, Humors, Scrofula and Scurvy, Colds pith soreness of the body, Ulcera and impurity'of the blood, Irregularities; in short, any and entry case where a purgative is required. . I hea have also produced some singularly suc cessful cures'in Rheumatism, Gout, Dropsy, GraveL Erysipelas, Palpitation of the Heart, Pains in tho Back, Stomach, and Side. They should be freely, taken in the spring of the year, to purify the blood and prepare the system for the change of seasohj* An occasional dose stimulates the stomach aria bowels into healthy action, and restores the appe tite and v igor. They purify the b'ood, and, by their stimulant action on the circulatory system, reno vate the strength of the body, and restore the wasted or diseased energies of the whole organisms Hence an occasional dose is advantageous, even though no serious derangement exists; but un necessary dosing should never be carried too far, as every purgative medicine reduces the strength, when taken to excess. The thousand cases in which a physic is required cannot be enumerated here, but they suggest themselves to the reason of ®vera body; and it is confidently believed this pill will answer a better purpose than any thing which ha* hitherto been available to mankind. When thai* virtues are once known, the public will no longer doubt what remedy to employ when in need of * cathartic medicine. Being sugar-wrapped, they an pleasant to take, and being purely vegetable, no harm can arise from their use in sny quantity. For minute directions, see wrapper on the PREPARED BY DR. JAMES C.
