A-FACT WORTH KNOWING. BEECHAM'S PILLS Are admitted by thousands to be worth above a Guinea a box for Bilious and Nervous Disorders, such as wind and pain at the stomach, sick headache, giddiness, fullness and swelling after meals, diasiness and drowsiness, cold chills, flushings of heat, loss of appetite, shortness of breath, costiveness, scurvy, blotches on the skin, disturbed sleep, frightful dreams, and all nervous and trembling sensations, &c., &c. The first dose will give relief in twenty minutes. This is no fiction, for they have done it in thousands of cases. The proprietor of these Pills having obtained (at frrcat expense) a patent for them, he challenges the whole world to produce a medicine equal to them for removing the above complaints, and restoring the patient to sound and lasting health. Every sufferet is earnestly invited to try one box of these Pills, and they will ba acknowledged to" be WORTH A GUINEA A BOX. For females of all ages these Pills are invaluable, as a few doses of them carry off all gross humours, open all obstructions, and bring about all that is required. No female should be without them. There is no medicine to be found to equal Beecham's Pills for rcmc" 'rA't Lily obstruction or irregularity of the system. If taken according to the directions given with each box they will soon restore females of all ages to robust health. For a weak stomach, impaired digestion, and all disorders of the liver, they act like "MAGHC," and a few doses will be found to w(,rk wonders upon the most important organs in the human machine. They strengthen the whole muscular system. restore the long-lost complexion, bring back the keen edge of appetite, and arouse into action, with the ROSEBUD of health, the whole physical energy of the human frame.—These are "FACTS" admitted by thousands embracing all classes of Society; and one of the best guarantees to the Nervous and Debilitated is, BEECHAMS'S PILLS have the largest sale of any Patent Medicine in the world. Citution.-The public are requested to notice that the words "BEKCHAM'S PILLS, St. Helen's," are on the Government Stamp affixed to each box of the Pills; if not on, they are a forgery. Prepared only, and sold wholesale and retail, by the Pro- prietor, T. BEKCHAM, Chemist, St. Helen's, Lancashire, in boxes at Is. l&d. and 2s. 9d. each. Sent post free from the Proprietor for 15 or 3G stamps. Sold by every Druggist in every town in the Kingdom. N.B.—full directions are given with each box. r GREAT CLEARANCE SALE. 21 DAYS ONLY.
