The justly celebrated Dr Abernethy said that inattention to the action of the stomach and bowels was the cause of 90 per cent, of our physical ailments, and modern science has proved this assertion correct. Care, however, requires to be observed in the choice of remedies, for there are numerous drastic and violent cathartics sold under various fancy names, but Dr Fletcher's Tills are used with the best advantage in such cases. These pills are from the prescription of Dr Bell Fletcher, of Birmingham, England, and were used by him in his private and General Hospital jDraetico there for many years with the greatest success. This, as a matter of course, proves their reliability, and Mr A. M. Beauchamp, Eata, KangitikeijN.Z., says : —"I wish to inform you of the good Fletcher's Pills are doing here. Everybody uses them, and speaks well of them; and so do 1, for they are the best I ever used in my life." They can be obtained from all medicine vendors, or direct from F. M. Clements, Newtown, Sydney, for 13 penny stamps.
