HOW PILLS ARE MADE.

The Custom of taking medicine in the

form of pills dates far back in history. The object is to enable us to swallow easily in a condensed iorm disagreeable and nauseous, but very useful drugs. To what vast dimensions pill-ttxkinc has grown may be imagined when we 'say tliafc 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 are 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 be better than a pill, provided only it is intelligently prepared. But right here occurs the difficulty. Easy as it may seem to make a pill, or a million of tliem, 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 pills of some 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 less pain in the head, sides, and back, he

may be sure his bowels are constipated, and his liver sluggish, To remedy this unhappy state ol things there is nothing like a good carthatic 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 docs not gripe and pain us, nor does it make us sick or miserable for a few hours or a whole day, It acts on the entire glandular system at the same time, else the after effect 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 arc harmful and should never be used. They sometimes even produce hemorrhoids, 'Without having any particular desire to praise one pill above mother, we may say, never-the-less tliafc Mother Seigel's Pills, manufactured by fcliQ well-known house of A. J. White, Limited, 35, Famngdon Bows London, and now sold by all chemist and medicine vendors, is the only one we know of that actually possesses every desirable quality. They remove the pressure on the brain, correct the liver, and cause the bowels to act with ease and

rhgularity. 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 crowning merit, Mother Siegol's Pills are covered with a tasteleaa and harmless coatin? which causes them to resemble pearls, thus rendering them as pleasant to the palato, as they are effectual 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 prevent the fever. A coated tongue with a brackish taste in the mouth is caused by foul matter in the stomach. A dose of Seigel's Pills will effect a speedy cure. Ottentinies partially decayed food in fcho stomach and bowels prodcues sickness, nausea &c. Cleanse the bowels with a 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 beat family physic ever discovered. They remove all obstructions to the natural functions in either sex, without any unpleasant effects,
