The difference between these pills and all other medicines is told in the following statement of facts: ’ Ist. They have been in active demand in the markets of the world since‘177o, or for nearly one hundred and thirty years. 2d. They are purely vegetable, and are made of the purest and highest classpdrugs obtainable. ' t 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. - Lo 4th. They never become inured to the system; that is, the same dose will always produce the same efiect. This cannot truthfully be said of any other medicine. There are others who claim it, but l demonstrations show it to be true only of BRANDRETH’S PILLS. 5th. They never produce griping or pain unless the stomach is in a. very acid condition, and then only if the dose 15 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 sa'rsa— 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' 5 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 pOSItive 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—youare always in better health after takmg a dose—they are the safest medicine to give children and women in delicate health. One pill 15 usually sufficient. No medicine is made with such infinite care as BRANDRETH’S PILLS -—no medicine but BRANDRETH’ s PIL-Ls' 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 .03 irrht 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. Theynever fail to do their work.
