AS A FAMILY MEDICINE, for the diseases in-
cidental to this climate, the Texas Pill
stands unrivalled, It is an anti-bilious prepara-
tion, possessing active properties, and so combined
with a tonic that prostration or debility does not
ensue. The ingredients are selected with particu- j
lar care (of the most undoubted quality) and tho- j
roughly combined together. The recipe has been j
submitted to several physicians, ar.d approved of:
by tfcein: they give it a decided preference over j
any of the northern preparations, which are fre- j
quently manufactured carelessly, on speculation, ,
at different points in the middle and northern ;
States, and each calculated as a cure for the several '
complaints prevailing in that immediate locality. '
This is a Texas medicine, and intended for Tex- |
