HOW PILLS ARE MADE:

The custom of taking medicine m the orm of pilie dates far back m history. Xhe object is to enable us to swallow easily m a condensed form disagreeable and nauseous, but very useful, drugß. [ To what very va«b dimensions pill-taking has ' jrown muy be imagined when we say that m KngUml alone about 2,000,000,000 (two thousand million) pills are consumed every year. In early days pills were made slowly by hand, as the demand w.,s comparatively small. To-day they are produced with infinitely greater r inidity by machines especially contrived for the purpose, and with greater accuracy, too, m the proportions of the various ingredients , employed. No form of medication eun bo better than (i pill, providod only it is intelligently prepartd. But right hero occurs the difliculty. Eaay iw it may seem to make a pill, or a million of them, there are really very few pills thiit "m bo honestly commended for popular use. Most of them cither undershoot or overshootthe mark. As everybody takes pill* of some kind, it may be wollto mention what ft cood, safe, and reliable pill should be. .Vow, wiien one feela dull and »)eopy, and has more or leas pain m the head, aides, and back, he may be sure hi** bowels are constipated, and liia liver sluggish. To remedy this unhappy state of things there 13 nothing like a good cathartic pill. It will act. like a rharm by stimulating the liver into doing its duty, and ridding the rligeitivo organs of tho accumulated uoiaonous matter. But tho good pill does not gripe iiud pain uh, neither docs it mule u» sick and miserable for a few lion r« or 11 whole day. It acts on tho entire glandular system at the mine Hum, else the fifUr-efTect* of tin; pill will bo worse tli m tho disease itself.
