HOW PILLS ARE MADE.

f ho custom of tiVij^ medicine in (ho orm of pills dates far hack in history. The object is to enable us to shallow oasily in a condonsed form disagreeable and nauseous, but very useful drugs. To what vast dimensions pill-taking haa grown may be imagined when we say tb.it in Kngland alone about 2,000,000,001) (two thousand million pills are consumed every year. In early days pilla were mide slowly by hand, as the demand was comparatively small. To-day they are produced with infinitely greater rjvidity by machines especially contrived for the purpose, and with greater accuracy, too, in the proportions of the various ingredients employed. No form of meditation can be better than a pill, provided only it is intelligently prepared, But right here occurs the difficulty. Easy as it may seem to make a pill, or a million of them, thero are really vory few pills that can be honestly commended for popular use. Most of them either undershoot or over, shoot the mark. As everybody takes pills of some kiod, it may be well to mention what a good, safe, and reliable pill should be. Now, when one feels dull and sleepy, nnd has more or loss pain in the head, Bides, and back, ho may be sure his bowek are constipated, and his liver slugenh. To remedy tbia unhappy Btate of things there is nothing like a good cathartic pill. It will act like a charm by stimulating the liver into doing its duty, and ridding the digestive organs of the accumulated poisonous matter. But (he good pill does not gripe and pain us, neither does it uaskp us sick aud miserable for a few hours of a whole day. It acts on the entire glandular aystem at the same time, olse the after-effects of the pill will be worse than the disease itself, Tho gripina caused by most pills is the result of irritating druga which they contain. Suoh pills Bre harmful, and should never be used. They sometimes even prodnoe hemorrhoids. Without having any particular desire to praiso one pill above another, we may, nevertheless, name Mother Seigel's Pills, manufactured by the well known house cf A. 3,. ' W&ite, Limited, 5,5, Wrringdon Road, London, ' and now sold by all chemists sud medicine vendors, as the only one we know of that actually possesses every desirable quality. They remove the pressure upon the brain, correct the liver, and cause the bowels to act with ease and regularity. They never gripe or produce the elighteit sieLmsas oi ; , the atbulich, or any other unple'a'san!;' feeling or symp, torn. Neifiier (jo they induce further oodstipation, as nearly all other pills do. As a further ami crowning merit, Mother Soigel'a Pills are covered with a tasteless and harmless coating which causeß them to resesublo pearls, thus' rendeying them aa' pleasant to the p&laje as $heir are' effective in curing disease. If you have a severe oold nnd aye throatenedlwlth ft fever, with pains in the head, back, and limbn, one or two dosea will broak up the cold and prevent the fever. A coated tongue, with a brackish tasto in the mouth is caused by foul matter in the stomach. 4 done of Pills will effect a speedy cure. Oftentimes partfolly decayed food In 1 tho slomnoh and bowels produced sickness nauaeai #c.
