HOW PILLS ARE MADE. The custom of taking medicine in the form of pills .dates far back in history. The object is to enable us to swallow easily in a condensed form disagreeable and naaseouß, bat very useful drags. To 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 days pills were made slowly by hand, aB the demand was comparatively small. To-day they are produced with iufinitely greater rapidity by maohines specially contrived for the purpose, and with greater accuracy, too, in the proportions of the various ingredonts employed. No form of medication can be better than a pill, provided only it is intelligently prepared. But right here occurß the difficulty. Easy as it may seem to make a pill, or a million of them, there are really very few pills that can bo honestly commended for popular use. Most of them either undershoot or overshoot the mark. &s everybody 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 less pain in the head, sides, and buck, he may be sure hia bowels are constipated, and his liver sluggish- To remedy this unhappy state of things thero 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. Bat the good pi 111 1 does not gripe an 3 pain us, neither does it'tnake us sick and mis ruble for a few hours or a v hole day It acts on an entire giandular system at the same time, else thn after effects of the pill will be worse than the disease itself. The griping caused by most pills is the result of irritating drugs which they contain. Such pills are harmful, and should never be used. They sometimes even produce hemorrhoids. Without having any particular desire to praise one pill above another, we may, nevertheless, name Mother Seigel's Pille, manufactured by the well-known house of A. J. White, Limited, 35, Farriugdon 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 Dresaure upon the brain, correct the liver, and cause the bowels to act with ense and regularity. They never gtipe or produce the slightest sickness of the stomach, or any other unpleasant feeling or symptom. Neither do they induce further constipation, as nearly all other pills do. As a further and crowning merit, Mother Sei»el's Pills are covered with a tasteless 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 you have a severe cold and are threatened with a fever, with pains in the 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 foul matter in the stomach. A dose of Seigel's Pills will effect a spoedy cure. Oftentimes partially decayed food in the stomach and bowels produces sickness, nausea, &c. Cleanse the bowels with a dose of these pills, nnd good health will follow. Unlike many Binds of pille, they do not make you feel worse before you are better. They are, without doubt, the best family physic ever discovered . They remove all obstructions to the natural functions in either sex without any unpleasant effects.
