HOW PILLS ARE MADE.

i.he custom of taking medicine in the form of pills dates far back in history. The object is to enable un to ewallow easily in a oondenged form disagreeable and nausecua, but very useful, drugs. To what vast dimensions pill-taking has grown may be imagined when we s&y 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 email. they are produoed with infinitely greater rapidity by maohinea especially contrived for the purpose and with greater aocuraoy, too, m the proportions of the various ingredients employed. No form of medication can be better than a pill, provided only it is intelligently prepared. But right here occurs the diffioulfcy. Easy as it may seem to make a pill, or a million of them, there are reiliy very few pills that can be honestly recommended for popular use. Most of them either undershoot or oyorsboot the mark. As everybody takes pills of eomo kind, it may be well to mention what a good, safe, and reliable pill should be. Now, when one feels dull and sleepy, and has more or legs pain in the head, eides and back, he may be sura bowels are constipated, and his liver sluggish. To remedy this unhappy state of thinga there is nothing like a good cathartic pill. It will aot liko 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 gripo and pain us, neither does it make us sick and miserable for a. few hours or a whole day. It acta on the entire glandular system at the same time, else the after effects of the pill will be worse than the diaeaso itaelf. The griping caused by mo*t pills is the result of irritating drugs whioh they contain. Such pilis ar? harmful and should never b? used, fhey sometimes c-ven produce hemor.'n»id«i.
