They are purely vegetable, and are made of the purest and highest class drugs obtainable. ‘ -— They are kept for two years in our storehouses after being made, and 110 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. 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. They never produce griping or pain unless the stomach is in a very acid condition, and then only if thefdose is a large one. In doses of one or two pills they never cause pain or other inconvenience. One pill taken after a heavy meal will relieve distressimmediately.‘ 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.
