HOW PILLS ABE MADE.

The ouotom of taking medicine in the form of pills dates far back in history. The object is to enable us to shallow easily in a condensed form disagreeable and nauseous, but very useful, drug*. To what vast dimepoiona pill-taking has grown may be imagined when we oay that in England alone about 2,000,000,000 (two thousand million) pills are consumed every year, In early days pills were made slowly by hand, as the demand was comparatively small. To-day they aro produced with infinitely greater rapidity by machines especially contrived for the purpose and with greater accuracy, too, in the proportions of the various ingredients employed.

No form of medication can bo better than a pill, provided only it is intelligently prepared. But right here occurs the difficulty i Easy as it may eoem to make » pill, or a millionof them, there are retlly very few pills that can be honestly recommended for popular use. Most of thorn either undershoot or overshoot the mark. As everybody takes pills of some kind, it may be well to mention what a good, safe, and reliable pill should be. Now, when one ferla dull and sleepy, and has more or less pain in the head, sides and back,

he may be sure hi* bowels are constipated, , and his liver sluggish. To remedy this un-

happy 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, and ridding the digestive organs of the

accumulated poisonous matter. But the good pill does not grips and pain us, neither doss it make us sick and miserable 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 having any particular desire to praise one pill above another, we may, nevertheless, name Mother Seigel’s Pilla, manufactured by the well-known house of A.J. White, Limited,

35, Parringdon 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 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, os neatly all other pills do. As a further and crowning merit, Mother Seigel’s Pills ars covered with a tasteless and harmless coating which causes them to resemble

pearls, thus rendering them as pleasant to the palate as they are effective in curing disease. If you have a severe cold and are threatened with a fever, with pains in the head, back, and limbs, one or two doses will break up the cold and urevent the

fevers A coated tongue, with a brackish taste in the mouth is caused by foul matter in the stomach. A dose of Saigel’s Pills will

effect a speedy cure. Often-timea partially decayed food in the stomach and bowels produces sickness, nausea, &9. Cleanse the bowels with a good dose of those pills, and good health will follow.

Unlike many kinds of Pills, they do not make you fool 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.
