THIS Invaluable Medicine, which has for nearly Half a Century had a large and increas- ing Sale, is admirably adapted to supply a great wanj —that of a remedy alwaya.at hand, easy of application, and certain in its results. £ £ 'e extraordinary cures effected by this wonderful preparation prove that where these Pills 6 are used, perfect and robust health may be depended on. The following interesting case of restoration of health is one of the most recentf tundreds more might be added 1, Waiogate, Sheffield, July 26, 1866. "To John Kaye, Esq.—Dear Sir,—I hrve much plea- sure in bringing to your notice another extraordinary case of cure through the use oi your invaluable medicine. Mrs. Wellfoot, of 2, Sylvester-lane, in this town, has been for many years afflicted with dropsy and spinal complaint to such an extent that she had to be lifted in and out of bed, having quite lost the use of her limbs. For the last four years she has been under the care of some of the most eminent doctors, but could not obtain any relief from their treatment. While in this deplorable condition, she was advised to try Kaye's Worsdell's Pills, and, solely by their use, she has entirely recovered her health, and is able to follow her usual em- ployment. From the extraordinary benefit she has re- ceived from the use of your medicine she is truiy grateful and thinks it her duty to make her case known, so that other unfortunate persons, suffering as she has done, may know where to find a remedy.-I remain, dear Sir, yours respectfully. (Signed) "B.ELLIS." Prepared solely by J ORN KATE, Esq., of Prospect Hall, nihs," nAIII. I I q THE o HI -A- Is/L FX CD 3ST Liver and Stomach Pills. rpHESE PILLS are compounded from the L recipe of one of the most eminent physicians of the present day (who, from purely philanthropic motives- knowing their excellent properties by experience hall been induced to give the benefit of them to the public at larfre") They are prepared by an aole and experienced chemist,and are acknowledged, oy the faculty, to be the most valuable medicine for all disorders of the stomach, and derangements of the liver, ever prepared. It is a Well-known fact that most of the diseases inci- dental to the human race, arise from a disordered sto- mach, and irregular state of the bowels, and for a suitable remedy, taken in time, thousands of (at first) simple maladies, become serious illnesses. To guard against this great evil, and to preserve the blessings of health, these pills are confidently and earnestly recom- mended. They act generally on the constitution, cleanse the blood of all impurities; regulate the secretions, and give tone to the stomach; correct the morbid condition of the liver regulate the bowels, and, by removing all impedi- ments restore elasticity and vigour to the whole frame.
