“Brandreth’s Pills
The difference between these pills and all other medicines is
told in the followingstatement of facts: .
Ist. They have been in active demand in the markets of the world since 1770,
or for nearly one hundred and thirty years.
2d. They are purely vegetable, and are madeyof the purest and highest
class drugs obtainable.
3d. 'They are kept for two years in our storehouses after being made, and
no pills are sold until they are TWO YEARS old. This allows them to
become thoroughly. mellowed and makes of them the very best
and safest cathartic medicine that it is possible to procure.
4th. They never become inured to the system; that is, the same dose
will always produce the same effect. This cannot truthfully be said
of any other medicine. There are others who claim it, but
demonstrations show it to be true only of BRANDRETH'S PILLS.
5th. They neverproduce griping or pain unless the stomach is in a very
acid condition, and then only if the dose is a large one. In doses of
one or two pills they never cause pain or other inconvenience.
6th. One pill taken after a heavy meal will relieve distress immediately.
7th. BRANDRETH'S PILLS are composed one-third of the best extract of (sarsa-
parilla that can be made. It is highly concentrated and it makes of these
pills the best blood purifiers that you can get, one 25-cent box con-
taining more of the active blood-purifying principle of sarsaparilla
. than a dollar's worth of any liquid preparation in the market.
8th. One or two, taken every night, will cure rheumatism in almost every
instance.
9th. They are a posxtive and effective remedy for constipation and for all the
long list of ills that follow in its wake—such as dyspepsia, dizziness,
drowsiness, coated tongue, foul breath, headache, pain in the stomach,
etc. Take one or two pills every night—one is usually enough—and
be certain that a cure will follow.
They are the best complexion pills. After you have taken them for a
few nights, your skin will assume a wholesome, healthful color, your
eye a brilliant lustre, and sallowness and pimples will disappear.
BRANDRETH’S PILLS NEVER injure—you are always in bettenhealth
after taking a dose—they are the safest medicine to give Children and
women in delicate health. One pill is usually sufficient.
.' No medicine is made with such infinite care as BRANDRETH’S PILLS
—no medicine but BRANDRETH’S PILLS is kept for Two YEARS before .
they are boxed to be sold.
. Except in sudden and acute sickness, when the dose should be from
four to eirrht pills. the best results are obtained by taking one or two
pills every night for a week or two. They act on the“ liver and leave
that organ in a perfectly healthy state, and when your liver is right
your blood is pure, and you are well. Don’t bully your liver with
powerful medicine, but coax it with BRANDRETH’S PILLS.
BRANDRETH'S PILLS are sold throughout the world, with and without
sugar coating. They never fail to do their work.
