HOW PILLS ARE MADE.

Tho Custom of taking medicine in th form of pills dates far hack in history. Th object is to enable us to swallow easily iv i condensed form diragroeable and nauseous but very useful, drugs. To what vas, dimensions pill-taking has grown may b imagined when wo say that in England alon about 2,000,000,000 (two thousand million pills are consumed every year. In early day pills were made slowly by hand, as th demand was comparatively small. To-da they are produced witi'. infinitely greate rapidity by machines especially contrive! for the purpose, and with greater accurac; too, in the proportions of the various in gradients employed. No form of medication can be better thai a pill, provided only it is intelligently pre pared. But right horo occurs the difficulty Easy as it may seem to take a pill, or < million of thorn, there aro really very fen pills that can bo honestly commended fo: popular use. Most of them either under shoot or overshoot the mark. As everybody takes pilb of some kiiid, it may be well U mention what a good, safe, and reliable pil should be. Now, when one feels dull unc sleepy, and has more or less pain iv the head sides, and back, ho may be sure his bowel are constipated, and his liver sluggish. T< remedy this unhappy state of things thori is nothing like a good cathartic pill. It wil act like a charm by stimulating tho liver in to doing its duty, and ridding the digestiv organs of the accumulated poisonou matter. But the good pill does not gripe am pain us, neither does it make us sick am miserable for a few hours or a whole day It acts on the entiro glandular system at th samo time, else the after-efi'eots of the pi will bo worse than the disease itself. Th

griping caused by most pills is the result oi irritating drugs which they contain. Such pills are harmful, and should never bo used. They sometimes even produce hemorrhoids. Without having any particular desire to praise one pill above another, wo may, nevertheless, name Mother Seigel'a Pills, manufactured by tho well-known house of A. J. White, Limited, 35, Farringdon Road London, and now sold by all chemists and medicine vendors, as the only ono we know of that actually possesses every desirable quality. They removo the pressure upon the brain, correct tho liver, and cause tho bowels to act with ease and regularity. They never gripe or produce the slightest sickness of tho stomach, or any other unpleasant feeling or symptom. Neither do they mducef urther constipation, as nearly all other pills do. As a further and crowning merit, Mother Seigel's Pills aro covered with a tasteless and harmless coating, which causes them to resemble pearls, thus rendering them as pleasant to tho palate as they aro effective in curing disease. If you have a severe oold and are threatened with a fever, with pains in tho head, backhand limbs, ono or two doses will break up tho cold and prevent the fever. A coated tongue, with a brackish tasto in tho mouth is caused by foul matter in tho stomach. A dose of Seigel's Pills will effect a speedy euro. Often-times partially decayed food in the stomach and bowels produces sickness, nausea, &c. Cleanse the bowels with a dose of these pills, and good health will follow. Unlike many kinds of pills, they do not make you feel worso before you are better. They are, without doubt, the best family physic ever discovered. They, remove all obstructions to the natural functions iv either sex without any unpleasant effects.
