HOW PILLS ARE MADE

matterS . But the gcd pill does not gripe and pain us, neither does it make us sick and miserable for a few hour? or a vfcole day. It acts on the entire glai.diu;r bjoiem at the same time, else the nrter effects of the pill will be worse than, the disease itseif. The griping caused by most pills is the result of irritating dr^gs which tnev contain. Such pills are harmful, and should never be used. They sometimes even produce hemorrhoids. Without having any particular desire to praise one pill above another, we nuy, nevertheless, name Mother Seigel s Pills, manufactured by the well known house of A. J. White, 1 imited, 35 Farringdon Road, London, and now sold by all chemists and medicine vendors, as tbe only one we know of that actually pos eses every desirable quality. They remove the pressure upon the brain, correct the liver, and cause the bowels to act with ease and regularity. They never gripe or produce the slightest sickness of the stomach, or any other unpleasant feeling or symptom. Neither do they induce further constipation, as nearly all other pills do. As a further and crowding merit, Motner Sei?els , Pills are covered with a tasteless and harmless [ coating, which causes them to resemble pearls, thus rendering them as pleasant to the pa'at as they are effective m curing disease. If you have a severe cold and are threatened with a fever, with pains m the head, back, and limbs, one or two doses will break up the cold and prevent the fever. A coated tongue, with a brackish taste m the mouth is caused by foul matter m the stomach. A dose of Seigel s Pilis will effect a speedy cure. Oftentimes partiaUy decayed food m the stomach and i bowels produces sickness. nausea, etc. Cleanse the bowels with a dose of these pills, and good health will follow. f Unl ; ke many kinds of pills, they do not make you feel worse before you are better. They are, without doubt, the best family ! physic ever discovered. They remove air obstruction to the natural functions m either sex withontany onpleasant effects.

The Custom of taking medicine m the form \ of pills dates ft* back m history. The object ■ is to enable us to swallow easily m a condensed form disagreeable and nauseous, but very useful, drugs. To what vast dimensions pill taking has grown may be imagined, when we sat that m England alone about 2,000,000,000 'two thousand million) pills are consumed every y«">r In early days pill? were made slowly by hand, as the demand was comparatively small. To-day they are produced m; •hJfinitely greater rapidity by machines especi--ifewllycntrivedfor the purpose, and with greater; accuracy, too, m the proportions of the various j ingredients employed. £m> form oi medication Can be better than a pill 7 provided only it is intelligently prepared. But right here occurs the difficulty. Easy as it jmay seem to make a pill, or a million of them "there. ''are really very few pills that can be honestly commended for popular use. Most; of them either undershoot or overshoot the mark. As everybody takes pillsof some kind,; it may be well to mention what a good, safe,; and reliable pill should be. Now, when one I feels dull and sleepy, and has more or less pain ;in4he head, sides, and back, lie may be sure His bowels are constipated, and his liver 1 T-ajrjgisfi;'*.
