10 HANN'S ANTI-BILIOUS PILLS. For the prevention and cure of Bilious and Ma- lignant Fevers. The Proprietor has every possible reason, that can result from extensive experience, for believing, that a dose of these Pills, taken once in every 2 weeks, during the prevalance of our bilious fevers, will prove an infallible preventive; and further, that, in the earlier stages of those diseases, their use will very generally succeed in restoring health, and frequently in cases esteemed desperate, and beyond the power of common remedies. They are excellently adapted to carry off superfluous bile, and prevent its morbid secretions: to restore and amend the appetite; to produce a free perspiration, and thereby prevent colds, which are often of fatal consequences. A dose never fails to remove a cold, if taken on its first appearance.

They are celebrated for removing habitual costiveness, sickness at the stomach, and severe headache, and ought to be taken by all persons, on a change of climate. In sickly times or places. a dose should he taken every fortnight: and if there is reason to apprehend personal danger, it may be taken once a week.

A dose of this medicine given occasionally, during the warm season, will effectually prevent the vomiting and purging of a dreadful disorder which annually destroys thousands of the infant part of our Citizens. It is likewise the mildest aid most certain remedy known, and has restored to health and strength a great number, when in an advanced stage of this fatal complaint.

It enriches and purifies the blood, without inflaming it; braces, without stimulating too violently, the nervous system; strengthens the secretory ressela, and the general habit; brings back the muscular fibres to their natural and healthy tone; and restores that nutrition which immaderate evacuations had destroyed, and whose loss had thrown the whole frame into languor and debility.
