HOW PILLS ARE MADE.

The custom of taking medicine in th form of pills dates fair back iri history. The object is to enable us to swallow' easily in a condensed fornf disagreeable and nauseus, but very uaofuil druga. To what vast dimensions pill-taking has grown may bo.iniagtneil when we say thatinEnglanduloneabout2 ) ooo,ooo,ooo two thousand million) pills areconsumed every, year. In early days pills, were made slowly by hand, as tho demandwas _ ,comparatively small;- To-day: they are produced with infinitely greater rapidit byniachines especially contrived for th purpose, and with greater acoutaoy, too in the proportions of the various ingred ients employed. No form of medication can lie better than a pill, provided only it is intelli. gontly 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 iakos pills of some kind, it may be .well to mention what a good, safe -audlyoliablo' pill should bo.

Theyrover gripe or produoo 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 further and crowning merit, Mother Seigell's Pills are covered with a tasteleis and harmless coating, which causes them to resemblo pearls, thus rendering them as pleasan to the palate as they are: effective in curing diseases, If you have a severe cold, and are 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 brackisli taste in the muuth, . y foul matter in the Btomach.
