This has been p red to meet that demand, and an extensive trial of its virtues has conclusively shown with what success it accom- Plishes the Fae} designed. It is easy to make a physical Pill, but not so to make the best of all Palis—one which should have none of the objections, but all the advantages of every other. This has been attempted here, and with what suc- cess we would respectfully submit to the public decision. It has been unfortunate for the patient hitherto that almost every purgative medicine is acrimonious and iriitating tothe bowels. This isnot. Many of them produce so much griping pain and revulsion in the system as to more than counterbalance the good to be derived from them. These Pills produce no irritation or pain, unless it arises from a a obstruction or derangement in the bowe! Being purely vege- table, no harm can arise from their use in an’ reper H but itis better than any medicine shoul taken judiciously. Minute directions for their use in the several diseases to which they are ap- plicable are given on the box. Among the com- plaints which have been speedily cured by them ‘we may mention Liver Complaint, in its various forms of Jaundice, Indigestion, jor and Loss of Appetite, Listlessness, Irritability, B lious Headache, Bilious Fever, Fever and Ague, Pain in the Side and Loins, for in truth, all these are but the consequence of diseased action of the liver. As anaperient, they afford prompt and sure relief in Costiveness, Piles, Colic, Dysentery, Humors, Scrofula and Scurvy, Colds, with sore- ness of the bedy, Ulcers and impurity of the blood : in short any and every case where 8 purga tive is required. They have also produced some singularly suc- cessful cures in R heamatism Gout, D: Grav el, Erysipelas, Palpitation of the Hi ins in the Back, Stomach and Side. They shovid be freely taken in the spring of the ——— the blood and prepare the — the cl of seasons. An occasional dose stimulates the stomach into healthy action, and restores the a) tite and vigor. ‘They purify the blood, and their stimulant action on the circulatory s1 renovate the — of the body, wasted or di energies of ism. Hence an occasional dose j even though no serious unnecessary dosing far, as every purgative medicine reduces the strength, when taken toescess. The thousand cases in which a physic is required cannot be enu- merated here. but they suggest themselves to the Treason of every body; and it is confidently be lieved this pili will answer a better purpose than anything which has hitherto been available to mankin When their virtues are once known the public will no longer doubt what remedy to employ when in need of a cathartic medicine Bein, ‘wrapped they are pleasant to take, and being purely vegetable, no from their use in any quantity.

The proofs of its efficacy are so numerous, 80 well autbenticated, and of such charac- ter, that sufferers cannot reasonably hesitate to re- ceive the proffered ald. The Peruvian Syrup does not profess to be a cure-all, but tts range 1s extensive, because many diseases, apparentiy unlike, are intimately re— lated, and, proceeding from one cause, may be cured by one remedy The class of diseases for which the Syrup pro- vides a cure, is precisely that which has so often baffled the highest order of medical skill. The facts are tangible, the witnesses aecessibie, and on safety and efficacy of the Syrup incontrovert- le. I have ee the medicel preparation called the Peruvian Syrup, with reference to the number and kind of active substancescontained in it and the artarea Ae! the compound as a pharmaceuti calerticle. The metallic compounds of arsenic, antimony, mercury and zinc are not present, nor is it possible to detect in it the slightest indica- tion of any metallic and mineral poison _ [ts or- ganic constituents do not include opium, or any of the drugs yielding poisonous principles The constituents, when separated, are not even acrid tothe taste.
