HOW PILLS ARE MADE.

, Tho custom of taking medicine in the form ofpills diites far back in'history..' ; The objoct. is to enable us to.swallow ■;..' easily in a condonsed form disagreeable 1 , and-natiseus, but very useful drugs.jTo what. vast, dimensions; pill-taking has , grown may : be; imagmed when wesayf7 thatinEnglnnaii!oneabout2 ) (K)o,o()0 l 0()0 | , i ' , twothousandmillionjpillsareconsumed; . every year.. In' early days 'pills were \ made slowly by hand, as the derhandwas comparatively small. -To-day they are: :'- produced with'-infinitely greater • by machines especially contrived for th\l* purposo, and with greater accuraoy, too J in the proportions of the various ingred ionta employed.. ." -. : ' : .'■'-. .. " No form of medication can be bettet-" than a pill, provided only it : is intelli> gently prepared. But right -hero Occurs the difficulty, Easy as. it may seem to" matte a pill, or a million of'them, there are really very fow pills; that can bo. honestly commended for popular uso..' Most of thein eithor underalioot or owk' shoot the mark. As 6verybbdy : takejn' pills of some, kind, it may-be well fiTT mention what a good, safe ajidjrjßliable >' pill should be. Now, whori" otio "feels,, dull and .sl.eepy, and ha« more or less jpain in the head, sides, and back, he may be sure his bowols are constipate d and his liver sWgish, 'To remedy thi unhappy state of things there is nothin : like a good cathartic pill. It.will act ~ like, a charm .by stimulating .the liver :; into doln'g'its duty, aud ridin? the dieestire organs of the . accumulated poisonous matter. ' ' '.'"■■■.

: But the good pill does hot gripo and . pairi us, neither Joes it make us sick aud miserable for a few hours, or a whole , day- it acts on the entire glandular [' system at the same time, else the afterV effeota of the pill will be worse than that disease itself. Tho griping caused most pills ib the result of irritating drugs which thoy contain. Suoh pills aro ' , harmful, and should nover bo used. They sometimes even produce hemorrhoids. Without having any particular desire to • praise oue pill above another, we may, nevertheless, name manufactured by- tho woll'-known house of A. J Whito, Limited, 35, Farringdoh Koad, London, and now sold by all chemists and medicino vendors, as tha only one we know ot thataotially pos-. sesses every detirablo quality. They remove tho pressure upon:the.brain, -orrect the liver, and cause tho bowelß to act with ease and regularity. Thoy fever., gripe or produco the (lightest'aiokuesM' of the stomach, or any othir feeling or symptom. Neither do they induce further constipation, as nearly all other pills do. As a further and crowning merit,_ Mother Seigell'a Pills are covered with' a tastelo3s and harmless coating, whioh causes them to resemble poarls, thus rendering them as pleasant to the palate as they are effective in curing diseases. Ifyoujiavo a severe cold, and are threatened with a lover, one or twoin the head, back, and limbs, aiid prevo doses will break up the colM with a bnt the fever. A coated tongue,f caused brackish taste in themuuth, "■' y foul matter'jn the stomach. A dose of Seiael's Pills will effect a speedy cure, Oftentimes partially decayed food in tho stomaoh andbowles produces sickness, nausea, Ac Cleanse: tho 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 aro better. They aro, without doubt, tho' best family phjsioejer discovered. They remove all obstructions to the nature, functions without any unpleasint effecte.
