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 form disagreeable and nauseous, but very useful drugs. To what vast dimensions pill-takin® has grown may be imagined when we say that in England alone about 2,000,C00,000 (two thousand million) pills are consumed every year. In early days pills were rnado slowly by hand, ns 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, m the proportions of the various ingredi cnts employed, No form of medication can be better than a pill, provided only it is intelli gently prepared. But right here occurs the diOiculty. Easy as it may seem to make a pill, or a million of them, there are really very few pills that can be honestly commended for popular uso,

Most of them either undershoot or ifer 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 moro 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 ot things there is nothing like a good cartliatic pill, It will act like a charm by stimulating the liver into doing its duty, and ridding the digestive or?ans of the accumulated poisonous matter. But the good pill does 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 tho same time, else the after effect of the pill will be worse than the disease itself. The griping caused by most pills is tho result of irritating drugs which they contain; Such pills are harmful and should never be ÜBed, They sometimes even produce hemorrhoids, Without having any particular desire to praise one pill above mother, wo may say, never-the-

less that Mother Seigel's Pills, manufactured by the well-known house of A, J, # White, Limited, 35, JFarringdon Rows London, and now sold by all chemist and medicine vendors, is the only one . ivo 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 easo and rhgularity. They never gripe or produce the.ijJMtest sickness of the stomach, or any other unpleasant feeling or symptom, Neither do tlioy induce further constipation, as nearly all other—pills do. As a further and crowning merit, Mother Siegel's Pilla are covered with a tasteles3 and harmless coatin? which causes them to resemble pearls, thus rendering them as pleasant to the palate, as they are effectual in curing disease, If you havo ut severe cold and aro 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 Bpeedy cure, Ottentimes partidecayed food in the stomach and ffl* bowels prodcues sickness, nausea &c. Cleanse the bowels with a dose of these pills and gootl health will follow. Unliko many kinds of pills, they do not make you feel worse before you are better.
