NO FAMILY SHOULD BE WITHOTIT THEM. 



WE speak of M'Lane's Liver Pills, which have become an 

 indispensable family medicine. The frightful symptoms 

 which arise from a diseased liver manifest themselves, more 

 or less, in every family ; dyspepsia, sick-headache, obstruc- 

 tion of the menses, ague and fever, pains in the side, with 

 dry, hacking cough, are all the results of hepatic derange- 

 ment — and for these Dr. M'Lane's Pills are a sovereign 

 remedy. They have never been known to fail, and they 

 should be kept at all times by families. 



Directions. — Take two or three on going to bed, every 

 second or third night. If they do not purge two or three 

 times by next morning, take one or two more. A slight 

 hrenkfast should invariably follow their use. 



The Liver Pill may also be used where purging is simply 

 necessary. As an anti-bilious purgative, they are inferior 

 to none. And in doses of two or three, they give astonish- 

 ing relief to sick-headache; also in slight derangementa of 

 the stomach. 



55?" Purchasers will be earefal to ask for Dr. WLane''s 

 C<hf>raU'd Lirer Pills, and take none else. There are 

 oOkt Pills, jnirporting to be Liver Pills, now before the 

 pubhc. Dr. M'Lane's Liver Pills, also his Celebrated Ver- 

 mifnge, can now be had at all respectable Drug Stores in 

 tlie United States and Canada.
