HOW PILLS ARE MADE.

The custom of taking medicine in the form of pills -dates• far back in history, Tho object is to enable mto swallow easily in a condensed form disagreeable and nauseus, but very nsoful drugs. To what vast dimensions pill-taking has - grown may be imagined when we say thatinGnglandalonudbout2,ooo,ooo,ooo two thousand million) pills art) consumed every year. In early days pills were made slowly by band, as the demand was comparatively small. To-day they aro produced with infinitely greater rapidit by maohineß especially contrived for th purpose, and with groator accuracy, too in the proportions, of the various ingred ' ients employed. ... .'.• .-.,.. ~].:'.. No form of medication can be .batter than a pill, provided only it is intelligently prepared. But right here' ocours the diflioulty. 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 thorn either undershoot or overshoot the mark. As everybody takes pills of some kind, it 'may be well to mention what a good, aafo MTeliablo pill should be. Now, whwßihe feela Xs dull and sleepy, and lia»..Lsre or less pain in the head, sides, and back, ho may be sure his bowels are constipate d and his liver sluggish! To remedy this unhappy state 6f things there is nothing like'a good cathartic pill. It will, act like a charm by stimulating the liver into doing its duty, and l rutin? the digestive' organs of the accumulated poisonous matter,. But the good pill does not gripe and pain us. neither Joes it make us sick and miserable for a few hours', orawhole ; day- It acts on the entire glandular

system at the same time, else the after effects of the pill will be worse than the disease itself. The griping caused by most pills is the result of irritating drugs which thoy contain, Such pills ire harmful, audshould noverbe used, Thoy sometimes even produce hemorrhoids. Without having any particular, desire to' praise one' pill abovo another, we may, nevertheless, name Mother SeigeU'sPills, inanufactured.by ; the well-known house of A. J. White, Limited, 35, Farringdon Road, London,. and now sold by all ohemists and medicine vendors, as the only one we know ot thatactaally possesses .every desirable quality, They remove tho pressure upon. tho brain, 'orrect the liver, and cause the bowels to act with ease and regularity. They rever 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 lurther and orowning merit,_ Mother Seigell's Pills are covered with a tasteless and harmless coating, which causes thorn to resemble pearls, thus rendering them as pleasant to the palate as they are effective in curing diseases, If you have a severe cold, and aro threatened with a lever, one or twoin the head, back, and limbs, and preve doses will break up the cold with a bnt the fever. A coated tonguo, caused brackish taste in the mouth, y foul matter|in the stomach. A dose of Seigol's Pills will effect a

speedy cure. Oftentimes partially decayed food in the stomaoh nndbpwles produces sickness, nausea, &o. Cleanse tlio 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 boat family physic eyer discovered, They remove all obstructions .to'the nature, functions without any unpleasinteffeots.
