HOW PILLS ARE MADE.

The . custom of taking, medicine in the 1 form of .pills dates far back in history. The ! object i* to enable us to swallow easily in a ; aondeueod form disagreeable and nauseous, but very useful, drugs. To what vast' dimensious pill-taiirig'has grown may be' imingined when we say that in England alone! about 2,000,000,000 (two thousand million): pills are consumed every year. In early days pills wore made slowly by hand, as the. demand was comparatively email. To-day they are produced with infinitely greater rapidity by machines especially contrived for j the purpppe and with greater accuracy, too, m the proportions of the various ingredients employed^ No form of medication oan be better than | a pill, provided only it is intelligently pre- 1 pared.* But right here oootxra the difficulty Easy m it may seem to make a pill, or a millidh j of them, there are rosily very few pills that,* can be honestly recommended for‘popular! use. Most of them either undershoot or! oyershoofri the mark. As everybody takes| pills of Borne kind, it may be well to mention 1 what a good, safe, and reliable pill should be. Now, when one feels dull and sleepy, and has more or less pain in the bead; sides and back, ho may be sure his bowels are constipated, and his liver sluggish. To remedy this unhappy state of things there is nothing like a good cathartic pill. It will act like a charm; by stimulating the liver into doing its duty, 1 and ridding the digestive organs of -the accumulated poisonous matter. But the good pill does not gripe and pain us, neither does it make us sick and miser-! able for a few hours or a whole day. It acts: on the entire glandular system at the same' time, else the after effects of the pill will be: worse than the disease itself. The griping caused by most pills is the result of irritating! drugs which they contain. Such pills are harmful and should never be used. They sometimes even produce hemorrhoids, Without particular desire to praise! one pill above another, we may, nevertheless,' name Mother Seigel’s Pills, manufactured by, the well-known house of A.J. White, Limited, 1 35, Farringdon Road,London,and now sold by* all chemists , and medicine.,vendors, as the only one we know of that actually possesses; every desirable quality. They remove the ; pressure upon 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 syrixptom. Neither' do they induce farther constipation, as nearly all. other pills do. As a farther and; crowning merit, Mother Seigel’s sPillf are covered with a tasteless and harmless: coating which causes them to resemble pearls, thus, rendering Thom as pleasant to the palate as they ore effective in curing disease. If you -have a severe cold and are threatened with a fever, with pains ip the head, back, and limbs, one or two dotes will break up the cold and prevent the fever. A coated tongue, with * a brackish taste ib the mouth is caused by foul matter in the stomach. A dose of Seigel’s Pills will effect a' speedy cure. Often-times partially decayed food in the stomach and bowels! produces sickness, nausea, &o. Cleanse the bowels with a good dose of these pills, and good health will follow. Unlike many kinds of Pills, they do not make you feel worse before you are better. They are, without doubt, the best family physio ever discovered. They remove all obstructions to the natural functions in either sex without any unpleasant effects.: :
