Such as Jaundice, Remittent, Intermittent,
and Ague Fevers: Yellow Fevers , Cholera
Morbus , Dyjentery , Diarrhea ; Jick Head
Aches, Foul Stomachs, lndigeftion, &c. &c.
They are also found very ufeful in

all constitutions, ages and sexes.
Certificates of their Efficacy.
I certify that my daughter and son were
for some time exceeding ill with a most vi
olent jaundice, attended with a flow fever,
pains in the stomach and bowels, loft ap
petite, yellow skin, and great lassitude and
weakness, insomuch that I expedted they
never would recover; after trying various
remedies to no effedt, I made use of Lee’s
New-London Bilious Pills; then in great
repute in the yellow fever in New-Lon
don. They were attended with the most
aftonilhing effedts and performed a cure
greatly beyond my expedition. I use
them in my family in all cases where I
judge the complaints proceeds from in
testinal maladies and find them to answer
the best of purposes. I am convinced
that I very often save the expence of doc
tor’s bills, by a timely use of thcfe pills in
all ordinary complaints.

Attested cases of Yellow Fever.
CASE I.
James Miller, a lad about 12 years of
age, was attacked with the Yellow Fever
in September last, the parents endeavored
to throw off the disease by purgative oils,
injedtions, Jalep, &c. but could get noth
ing through him. The third day I was
called I found him in the second stage of
fever, with the black vomit and red pete
chial spots on his skin, he had no evacua
tion from his bowels, but ejected every
thing which he took—l administered two
of the pills, and he kept them down ; the
3d was given 2 hours after—and within 6
hours regular paftages was produced, at
which time the black vomit began to a
bate, and with the use of aqua calcis and
his ordinary medicines he recovered, be
yond the expedtation vs any of the family.
C A S E 11.
John Weld, nurse at the hospital was
seized with the fever ih ail its violence,
attended with the usual symptoms of cons
tipated bowels, deliriums, vomitings, &c.
&c. he was bled, took the pills every day,
and although he was brought to the verge
of the grave, from having an uncommon
share of the disease, he recovered and al
ways felt immediate relief from me effedts
of the pills.
case irr.
I was attacked myfelf with the fever the
last of September, from imprudently going
into an infedted room with four sick per
sons in it early in the morning upon an
empty stomach. I was bled, and kept my
stomach and bowels constantly affedted by
the pills, and recovered without the use of
any other remedies except calomel in al
terative doses. I felt an immediate sen
sation of ease and relief from every dose I
took, and always felt myfelf secure from
that alarming fymDtom the black vomit
whenever they parted through the stomach.
I and I ever found this the case with all my
patients \\ my wife and two servants in my
family were ill of the fever, but happily
recovered upon a free use of the pills.
These pills were the only medicines I
used for the purpose of cleansing the firft
paftages, and for preventing the black vo
mit, whenever they were given and pro
duced liberal evacuation, they never failed
to answer this purpose in all cases, even
pregnant women could take them with
the happiest effedts.

on me stronger and oftener, viz. from e- 1
very other day to every day. I had *
made use of many things to break the fits 1
but in vain—’till I took some of your pills
at night, according to direftion, next day m
my fit was scarcely perceptible, and from %
