HOW PILLS ARE MADE.

The custom of taking medicine in the form of Dills ditea far back in history. The object is to cnablo w to swallow easily in a condensed form disagreeable ahd nauseus, but very useful di tigs. To what vast diinenwins pill-taking Imb grown may be - imagined when wo say tlmtinEDglandalonoabouti.OOO.OOO.OOO (two thousand million) pills aro conbumud every year. In early days pills were made Blowly by hand, as the domand was -small, To-day tlioyaro fimuced with infinitely grantor rapidity ' ijfpiachineß especially contrived for tho purpose, and with greater accuracy, too, in tho proportions of the various ingredients employed, No form of medication can be hotter than a pill, providod only it is intolliifontly prepared. But right here occurs tho difficulty. Easy as it may seem to make a pill, or a million of them, there are really vory few pills that can he honestly commended for popular mo. Most of them either undershoot or overshoot, the mark, .Ab everybody takes pills of some kind, it may bo well to rajKim what a good, safe Mid reliable pnysuould be. Wow, when one feels dull and sleepy, and ha« more or lees pain in tho head, sides, and back, ho may ho euro his bowels are constipated Bnd his liver sluggish. To remedy this unhappy state of things there is nothing

unhappy state uf things there is nothing like a food cathartic pill. It will net like a charm by stimulating the liver into doing its duty, and riding the digestive organs.of the accumulated poisonous matter. But the good pill doss not gripe and pain us. neither Joes it make us sick and inisorablo tor a few hours, or a wholo day- .It acts on tho entire glandular system at tho samo time, else tho after effects of tho pill will bo worse than tho disease itsolf. The griping caused by most pills is the result of irritating drugs which they contain. Such pills are harmful, and should nevor be used. They mnetimes oven produce hemorrhoids. having any particular desire to Upraise one pill above another, we may, nevertheless, name MotherSeigell'sPills, manufactured by tho well-known bouse of A.

act with ease and regularity, Thoy rover gnpo or produce tho slightest sickness ] of tho stomach, or any othor unpleasant feeling or symptom. Neither do they Induce further constipation, as nearly all other pills do, • As a further and crowning merit, Mother Seigell's Fills are covered with a tasteless and harmless coating, which causes thorn to resemble pearls, thus rendering them as pleasant to the palate as they aro effectivo in curing diseases. If you have a severe cold, and aro tbroatened •with a lever, with pains in the head, back, and limbs, one or two doses will break up tho cold and prevent tho fover. A coated tongue, with a brackish taste in the mouth, is caused by foul matter in the stomach. A dose of Kernel's Pills will effect a speedy euro. Oftentimes partially docayed food in the stomach and bowles produces sickness, nausea, etc. Cleanse the bowels with n dose of these pills, and food health will follow. Unlike many kinds of pills, they do not make you feel worso before you avo botUr. They aro, without doubt, the last family physic ever discovered.
