, and aromatic syrup, an excellent remedy for
children, one-half to one teaspoonful.

CASCARA SAGRADA (_Rhamnus Purshiana_), is a very efficient remedy in
chronic constipation. _Dose_--Of the fluid extract, from ten to twenty
drops taken in a tablespoonful of water. The unpleasant taste may be
disguised with the extract of liquorice.

CASTOR OIL (_Oleum Ricini_). _Dose_--From one to four teaspoonfuls. It
may be disguised by rubbing it with an equal quantity of glycerine and
adding one or two drops of oil of anise, cinnamon, or wintergreen.

BUTTERNUT (_Juglans Cinerea_). The bark is the part used. Butternut is a
mild cathartic, which resembles rhubarb in its property of evacuating
the bowels without irritating the alimentary canal. _Dose_--Of the
extract, as a cathartic, five to ten grains; of the fluid extract,
one-half to one teaspoonful; of the concentrated principle, Juglandin,
one to three grains. As a laxative, one-half of these quantities is
sufficient.

ALOES (_Aloe_) The gum is used. This cathartic acts upon the lower part
of the bowels and sometimes causes piles; though some late authors claim
that in small doses it is a valuable remedy for piles. _Dose_--In powder
or pill, three to ten grains; as a laxative, one to three grains.

EPSOM SALTS (_Magnesia Sulphas_). Its common name is "Salts." Much used
in domestic practice. _Dose_--One-fourth to one-half ounce.

DR. PIERCE'S PLEASANT PELLETS, being entirely vegetable in their
composition, operate without disturbance to the system, diet, or
occupation. Put up in glass vials. Always fresh and reliable. As _a
laxative, alterative,_ or gently acting but searching _cathartic_, these
little Pellets give the most perfect satisfaction. Sick Headache,
Bilious Headache, Dizziness, Constipation, Indigestion, Bilious Attacks,
and all derangements of the stomach and bowels, are promptly relieved
and permanently cured by the use of Dr. Pierce's Pleasant Pellets. In
explanation of the remedial power of these Pellets over so great a
variety of diseases, it may truthfully be said that their action upon
the system is universal, not a gland or tissue escaping their sanative
influence.

Everybody, now and then, needs a gentle laxative to assist nature a
little; or, a more searching and cleansing, yet gentle cathartic, to
remove offending matter from the stomach and bowels and tone up and
invigorate the liver and quicken its tardy action. Thereby the "Pleasant
Pellets" cure
