FOR A GENTLE CATHARTIC, two or three are generally sufficient, if taken
in the morning, on an empty stomach. FOR A VERY ACTIVE, SEARCHING CATHARTIC, four to six may be taken in the morning, on an empty stomach. FOR A CHILD OF TWO TO FOUR YEARS, one-half of a Pellet given in a little sauce of some kind, or soft candy, will be sufficient for a laxative, or one for a mild cathartic. FOR A CHILD OF FOUR TO EIGHT YEARS, one for a laxative or two for a cathartic will act nicely, if given on an empty stomach. AS A DINNER PILL.--To promote digestion and increase the appetite, take only one Pellet each day after dinner. _To overcome the disagreeable effects of a too hearty meal_, take two Pellets as soon as conscious of having overloaded the stomach. IN ALL CHRONIC DISEASES, it is of the utmost importance that the bowels be kept _regular_, yet thorough purgation should be avoided, as it tends to debilitate the system. Small laxative doses of one or at most two Pellets, taken daily and continued for a long time, is the plan that we would recommend to produce the best results. IN DROPSY, an occasional active cathartic dose of the Pellets of say 4 to 6, taken once in a week or ten days, will do good, if, in the interval between these doses, Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery be taken to invigorate and regulate the system. |
