The Champion Liver & Stomach PILLS. THESE PILLS are compounded from the recipe of one of the most eminent physicians of the present day (who, from purely philanthropic motives- knowing their excellent properties by experience-has been induced to give the benefit of them to the public at large). They are prepared by an able and experienced chemist, and are acknowledged, by 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 incident to the human race, arise from a disordered stomach, and irregular state of the bowels, and for want of a suitable remedy, taken in time, thousands of (at first) simple mala- dies, become serious illnesses. To guard against this great evil, and to preserve the blessings of health, these pills are confidently and earnestly recommended. 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 impediments, restore elasticity and vigour to the whole frame. TESTIMONIALS. Usk, January 28th, 1865. SIB,—! have been In the habit of taking the CHAMPION LIVER LND STOMACH PILLS for some years, and I can safely say they Lre the best medicine for Stomacli Complaints that I have ever aken; and previously to their becoming known to me I had ried a great number of different kindg. They never fail in 'iving me instant relief, and having received so much benefit rom their use, I think it but right that I should recommend hem. as I do whenever I have opportunity. MARY WHITEFIELD. Castle Farm, Gwehelog, near Usk, March 26th, 1864. SIR,—I am glad to be able to bear testimony to the great efficacy of the CHAMPION LIVER AND STOMACH PILLS. Pre- viously to my being recommended to try them, I suffered much from Asthma, but since I have been in the habit of taking these pills, when I find an attack coming on I have only to take one dose to obtain certain and speedy relief, and by repeating the dose two or three times I am restored to my usual health. I am sure that these pills have saved me a vast amount of suffering, and I therefore, with pleasure, give you permission to make what use you like of this testimonial, as, if it should be the means of inducing any persons afflicted as I have been to try the medicine, I shall feel that I have done them great service. To Mr. CLARK, Usk. THOMAS PRICE. Penarth, near Cardiff, 24th October, 1864. Mr. CLABK, Usk.—SIR,—I enclose 28 stamps, and shall be obliged if you will send me two boxes of the CHAMPION LIVER PILL$. You will think I am consuming a great quantity of them, from the number of boxes you have sent me; but the fact is, since I have been in this neighbourhood, I have recommended the pills to several persons here who suffer from biliousness, like myself, and they all agree that they never took anything that did them so much good. I think if the pills were sold in this neighbourhood, a great many more people would take to them, because they would be sure to recommend themselves. HENRY ELLIS. Gwehelog, near Usk, December, 1859. SIB,—After suffering for several years from acute pains in my side, back, chest, and stomach, and after calling in several medical men, and trying every remedy, I still suffered severely from the complaints. At length I was induced to try the CHAMPION LIVER AND STOMACH PILLS, sold by you The first box gave me great relief. I then purchased a second box, and it completely removed my complaint, and I am now in perfect health. Having received so much benefit from these pills myself, I think that I am only doing a service to the public in recommending them. JOHN ROBERTS. To Mr. CLARK. Bookseller. Usk. Pontypool, January 20th, 1860. SIR,-For some years I suffered very much from an affection of the Liver. The medical men to whom I applied gave me pills which removed the complaint for a short time, but it returned as bad as after ever a week or ten days. Hearing of the CHAMPION PILLS, I resolved to try them, and I am happy to say, that after taking a few doses, I felt much better, and it is now three months since I have experienced any return of my old complaint. If I have the headache, or pain in the side or shoulders, I take a couple of the CHAMPION PILLS at night, and I feel all right the next day. WM. MORGAN. 5, Setile's Buildings, New Swindon, Feb. 24,1863. SIR,—I am wishful to inform you of the great benefit I have found from taking the CHAMPION PILLS. From my childhood I have been much troubled with indigestion, which caused me great suffering, and I was IHwer many days without it, until a friend gave me a few of these pills, which is the only medicine that gives me relief. MARIA RIC HARDS. Manbaddoek, near Usk, Feb. 9, 1863. SIR,-I am very glad to oe able to recommend the CHAMPION PILLS. I have tried everything I could think of for the Liver Complaint, but never found any medicine do me so much good as these väIs. Mark of X MARY ANN MERRIMAN. 16 Christian Street, Stockport, 15th Oct., 1862. AIK please forward me another box of the CHAMPION PILLS, for which I enclose fourteen stamps. I find them such an excellent medicine, not only for myself, but also for the whoie of my family, that I never like to be without some in the house. I believe you when you say they are the <' most valuable medicine for the Stomach t.ud Liver ever prepared, for 1 have tried many different sorts of pills, but shal! never want to change again while 1 can get these.
