Minute directions are givenln tho wrapper qti tho box, for the following complaints, which theso JHIU rapidly oure:? For Dyspepsia or Infligssilaa, Llstleit* neu, lasner and JLoee of Appetite, they should be taken moderately to stimulate tho stomach, and restore its healthy tone and action. For Liver Csmplalat and its various symptoms, Blllsas Hsaflashe, Dick Bfletsriache.ganadlcs or Drssa flicltaess, Hiltons Colic and Bilious Fevers, thoy should bo Judiciously taken for caeb ease, to correct the diseased action or remove the obstructions which causo it. For Dysentery or Dlarvhsra, but one mild dose Is generally required. For BhNmtfia. (loot, Gravel, PmI> plMtloa off (hit Heart, Pain la the Hide, Hack and Ijolae, thov should bo continuously taken, as required ,to change the diseased action or tho system, with such cbnngo thoso complaints disappear. For Dreeay and Dropsical dwellings they should do taken In large and frequent dotes to prodtico the effect of a drastio purge. For HapprrMloa a large dose should bo taken as it produces tho desired effect by sympathy. As a IHnner J 'ill, tike one or two Fills to promote digestion and relievo the stomach. An occasional do so stimulates the stomach and bowels Into healthy action, restores tho appetite, and Invigorates the system. Hence It Is often advantageous where no serious derangement exists. One wno feels tolerably well, often finds that a dose of these Fills makes him feel decidedly better, from tholr cleansing and renovating effect on the digestive apparatus. Dr. J. C.
