HOW PILLS ARE MADE.

The Custom of taking medicine in the form cf pills dates far back in history, l'lio object is to enable us to swallow easily in a condensed torm disagreeable and nauseous, but very useful drugs. To what vast dimensions pill-takine 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 made slowly by hand, as tho demand was comparatively small. To-day they are produced with inlinitely greater rapidity by machines especially contrived for the purpose, and with greater accuracy, too, in the proportions of the various ingredi cuts employed, No form of medication can be better than a pill, provided only it is intelli gently prepared. But right here occurs tho difficulty. 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 use. Most of them either undershoot or overshoot the mark, As everybody takes pillt. 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 luis more or less pain in the head, sides, and back, lie may be sure his bowels, arc constipated, and his liver sluggish. To remedy this unhappy stato ot things there is nothing like a gwd cartliatic pill. It will act like a charm by stimulating tho 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, inn* does it make us sick or miserable for .1 few hours or a whole day. It acts 011 the entire glandular system at the same time, else the after effect of the pill will be worse thai, 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 mother, we may say, never-the-less that Mather Seigel's Pills, manufactured by the well-known house of A. J. White, Limited, 35, Farringdon Row, London, and now sold by all chemist and medicine vendors, ia the only one \vb kiiu\v of that, actually possesses every desirable quality. They remove the prcsuri! 011 the brain, correct the liver, and sause the bowels to act with ease and hgularity, They never gripe or produce the slighest 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 Siegcl's Pills are covered with a tasteless and harmless coatini' which,causes them to resemble pearls, thus rendering them as pleasant to the palate, 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, Ottentimes partially decayed food in the 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 best family physic ever discovered They remove nil obstructions to the natural functions in either sex, without any unpleasant effects.
