""" HOW PILLSAKE MADE. | The Custom of taking medicine in tho form of pills dates fur back in history. The object is to enable us to swallow easily in a condensed form diragreeable and nauseous, but very useful, drugs. To what vast dimensions pill-ttiking has grown may bo illumined when we say that hi England alone about 2,000,000,000 (two thousand million) pills aro consumed every year. In early days pills were made slowly by baud, as the demand was comparatively small. To-day they are produced with infinitely greater rapidity by machines especially contrived au for the purpose, and with greater accuracy :id too, in the proportion's of tho various hint' gredients employed. :le No form of medication can be better than to a pill, provided only it is intelligently preen pared. But right here occurs the difficulty, he Easy as it may seem to take a pill, or a ye million of them, ti.ere are really very few >w pills cYatcfin be honestly commended for en popular use. Most of them either underur shoot or overshoot the mark. As everybody .™ lakes pills of some kind, it may be well to ad mention what a good, safe, and reliable pill vo should be. Now, when oue feels dull and ys slrcpv, and has more or less pain in the head, to sides" aud back, ho may be sure his bowels n- are constipated, and his liver sluggish, lo *d remedy this unhappy state of things there a is nothing like a good cathartic pill. It will ;il- act like a charm by stimulating the liver mlid to doing its duty, and ridding the digestive a organs ~ of the accumulated poisonous ■c- matter. , . , : I But tho good pill does not gripe and ire pain us, neither does it make us sick and to miserable for a few hours or a whole day. ;r- It acts on the entire glandular system at the do same time, else the after-oflccts_ of tho pill will be worse than the disease itself, the ur srriping caused by most pills is the result of 'd. irritatinsr drugs which they contain. Such v- pills are .harmful, and should never bo used. on They sometimes even produco hemorrhoids. er Without having any particular desire to 'in praise one pill above another, we may, tst nevertheless, name Mother Seigel's Pills, hi manufactured by tho well-known house of he A. J. "White. Limited, So, Farringdon Head s- London, and now sold by all chemists and 'I- medicine vendors, as the only one we know c, of tb.it actually possesses every desirable >g quality. They" remove the pressure upon ie t be brain, correct the liver, aud cause the w bow-Is to act with ease aud regularity. "-'! They never gripe or produce tho slightest '-, .sickness of the stomach, or any other mine pleasant feeling or symptom. Neither do <■'• tboy induce furl her constipation, us nearly all iy other pills do. As a further and crowning at ui'iit, Mother Seigel's Pills arc covered with a tasteless and harmless coating, which t.e causes them to resemble pearls, thus render- ['- iuir them as pleasant to the palate as they iic are effective in curing disease. If you havo or a severe cold and are threatened with a in f.ver, with pains in the head, and back, r. limbs, one or two doses will break up the 1 cold and prevent the fever. A coated he totitrue, with a brackish taste in the mouth >v is caused by foul matter in the stomach. A i's dose of Seigel's Pills will effect a speedy n- euro. Often-tinies partially decayed food 'II in the stonui'L. and bowels produces sickas ness, nausea, &o. Cleanse the bowels with '<', a dose of these pills, and good health will te follow. is I'olikomany kinds of pills, they do not ■ir make you feel worse before you aro better re They arc, without doubt, the best family 1- physic ever discovered. They remove all it obstructions to the natural functions in Li cither sex without tiny unpleasant effects. "a TEN MONTH'S SUFFERING IN A „t HO-iTTAL. id There is an old saying that pbysicaus are ;.. a class of men who pour dings, of which U, they know little, into bedys of which they a' know less. There is both true and untrue lawyers, and good and poor doctors. Tho 10 trouble with these medical gentlemen as a v. profession is that they are clannish, and apt j. to be conceited. They don't like to be a beaten at their own trade by outsiders who •h have never studied medicine. They therel>s fore pay, by their frequent failures, the .y penalty "of refusing instruction unless the : ,r eacher" bears their own ' Hall Mark.' ;v An eminent physician—Dr. Brownf, Sequard, of Paris-statesthe fact accurately ,n when he says: ' The medical profession iic arc so bound up in their self-confidence and :o conceit that they allow the diamond truths 't of science to be picked up by persons entirely f u outside their ranks.' We give a most ; . s interesting incident, which illustrates this io important truth. a The steamship' Ooiicordia.'ofthcDonald- ,-. sou Line, sailed from Glasgow for Baltimore [r in 1887, having on board as a fireman a ,i man named Richard Wade, of Glasgow 't Ho hud been v fireman for fourteen years v on various ships sailing to America, China, v and India. He had borne the hard aud it exhausting labour, and had been healthy s uid strong. On the trip we no is- iiamo he v began for the first time to feel weak and ill. I. His appetite failed, and be suffered from 0 drowsiness, heartburn, a bad taste in the mouth, and costiveness and irregularity a of the bowels. Sometimes when at work bu . had attacks of giddiness, but supposed it to h bo caused by the heat of tho lire-room. s< Quite often ho wassicknndfeltlikevomiting, and had some pain iv tho Leail. Later j during the patisage he grew worse, and ; when the ship reached Halifax he was r placed in the Victoria Geuerai Hospital, and the ship sailed away without bitn. , Thy f house surgeon gave him some powders to slop tho vomiting, aud the next day the it visiting physician gave him a mixture to ~ take every four hours. Within two days v Wade was so much worse that the doctors r stopped both the powders and the mixture. -, A mouth passed, the poor fireman getting t worse and wur-e. s Then came another doctor, who was to 1 bo visiting physicians for tho next five ■i months. Ho gave other medecines, hut 1 not much relief." Nearly all that time Wade I; suffered great torture ;he digested nothing, throwing up aii he ate. There was terrible •' piiin in the bowels, burning heat in the -, throat, heartburn, tnd racking headache. ~ The patient was now taking a mixture ~ \ory four hours, powders one after each lS meal to digest the food, operating pills one. i, every night, and temperature pills t*o r each night, to stop tho cold sweats. If drugs . could cure him at all, Richard had an idea .- that he took enough to do it. But on the other hand pleurisy set in and the doctors ii took ninety ouiiccs of tnalttr from his right side, an 1 then told him lie was sure In die. r Five months more rolled by, and there was 1 smother changj of visiting physicians. ;i The new one gave Wade a mixture which lie said made hua tremble like a leaf on a tree. c At this crisis Wudi's Scotch blood s asserted itself, lie refused to stand any t dosing ; and told the doctors that if he . must die lie could die us well without them [ ns with them. By this time a cup of milk j would turn sour ou ids stomach and lio i there for days. Our friend from Glasgow wus like a wieel: on a shoal, last going to , pieces. We wiil let him fell the rest of 1 his experience in the words in which ho communicated it to the press. He s.rys : ' Whin I was in this state a j I Judy whom I had never seen cimo t» the t hospital and talked with me. She proved I to he an angel of mercy, for without her I I should i;,ot now by alive. She told me of a -' ifiedieme called. ' Mother S. igel's Curati.-j Syrup,' nnd brynybt mo it boltle next tbi\ . 1 started with it, without consulting the : doctors, an.l in only a f.w days' lime 1 was oatofbi'i'-alltng for ham awl eggs for breakfast. From this time keeping on with Mother Seigel's great remedy, 1 got well fast, and ' was soon able to leave the hospital and ' coiue home to Glasgow I now fell us if I was in another world, and havo uo illness of any kind.' '(lie ab/.-c facts arc calmly undimpartially stated, and. the reader may draw his own conclusion. Wa deem it best to use no mimes, although Mr Wade gave them in his original depo.-ition. 1 lis address is No. } 211.
