i HOW PILLS ARE MADE. The custom of taking medioine in the form of pills dates far back in history. The object is to enable as to swallow easily in a condensed form disagreeable and naaseoas, bat very useful drags. To i what vast dimensions pill-taking has grown may be imagined when we say that in England alone about 2,000,000,000 (two thousand million) pills are consumed every year. In early dayß pills were made slowly by hand, as the demand was comparatively small. To-day they are produced with infinitely greater rapidity by machines specially contrived for the purpose, aud with greater accuraoy, too, in the proportions of the variouß ingredents employed. No form of medioation can be better than a pill, provided only it is intelligently prepared. Bat right here ocours the difficulty. Easy as it may seem to make a pill, or a million of them, there are really very few pills that can be honestly commended for popular use. Most of them either undershoot or overshoot the mark. A.s evsrybody takes pills of some kind, it may be well to mention what a good, safe, and reliable pill should be. Now, when one feels dull and sleepy and has more or lees pain in the head, sides, and back, he may be sure his bowels are constipated, and his liver sluggish* To remedy this unhappy state 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 the good pill does not gripe and pain as, neither does Unmake us sick and miserable for a few hours or a whole day. It acts on an entire glandular system at the same time, else the after effects of the pill will be worse than the disease itself. The griping caused by most pills is the resalt of irritating drags which they contain. Such pills are harmful, and should never be used. They Bometimes even produce hemorrhoids. Without having any particular desire to praise one pill above another, we may, nevertheless, name Mother Seigel's Fills, manufactured by the well-known house of A. J. White, Limited, 35, Farringdon Road, London, and now sold by all chemists and medicine vendors, as the only medicine 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 eaße and regularity. They never giipe or produce the slightest sickness of the Btomacb, or any other unpleasant feeling or symptom. Neither do they induce further constipation, as nearly all other pills do. As a farther and crowning merit, Mother Seigel's Pills are covered with a tttsteless and harmless coating, which causes them to resemble pearls thus rendering them as pleasant to the palate as they are effective in curing disease. If yoa have a severe cold and are threatened with a fever, with pains in tho head, back, and limbs, one or two doses will break up the cold and prevent the fever. A coated tongue, with a brackish mouth, is caused by foal matter in the stomach. A dose of Seigel's Pills will effect a speedy cure. Oftentimes 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 binds of pills, they do not make you feel worse before you are better. They are, without douDt, the best family physic ever discovered . They remove all obstructions to the natural functions in either sex without any unpleasant effects.
