"^ 22 BRITISH COLTMBIA ALMANAC. LANGLBY'S MILD APERIENT, -—OR ANTI-BILIOUS PILLS J -FOR- DISORDERS OF THE STOMACH k BOWELS, GIDDINESS, SICK HEADACHE, &C. THESE PILLS are strongly recommended as one of the best Medicines for Bilious Complaints, Disorders of the Stomach and Bowels, Giddiness and Sick Headache, occasioned by Indigestion, free living, etc., and are so perfectly innocent in the compo- sition (although truly eftectual) that they may he taken by Children and Females of the most delicate constitution ; they have also been found exceedingly servicealile in expell- ing most description of worms, etc. The peculiar efificiency of these Pills lies in promoting a due secretion of Bile- a redundancy of which most frequently produces Heartburn, Giddiness, Nausea, Headache, loss of appetite and rejection of food ; they will be found highly beneficial in all Dyspep- tic affections, Spasms of the Stomach and Bowels, by which the functions of the Viscera become impeded. The qualities of these Pills are neither impaired by time or diminished by climate ; they require no confine .lent or alteration in diet ; and their operation, assisted by moder- ate exercise, will promote a healthy action of the Liver and remove those obstructions which generally produce the above complaints. The salutary effects produced in all cases for which they are recommended, render them worthy of the notice of travellers in particular, and to persons who experience unpleasant sensations in the morning after immoderate indulgence in the luxuries of the table. DIRECTIONS. The usual dose for a grown person is two or three Pills ; but as constitutions vary, some will find one sufficient, which should be taken at bed lime. To those who are troubled with habitual costiveness, it will be requisite to take one or two at bed time every night, for a short time, and then every second or third night, so as to leave them off by degrees.
