Citizens of Charleston.

AND THE NEIGHBORING STATES
WOU are respectfully informed that 20
H MEETING STREET 7O-is my Office for
the exclusive sale Of BRANDRETH'S YEGE-
TABLE UNIVERSAL PILLS. Price twen-
ty FIVE cents per box, with directions in English,
French Spanish Portuguese and German.
The high and universal reputation Of the
Biantdeth Pills, renders it unnecessary TO COM
ment largely on their particular virtues. As an
anti-biIious and purgative medicine, they are
unequalled by any. Their purifying effect OIL
The blood is universally allowed-a that have
ever used have approved and recommended
them.
In many cases where the dreadful ravages Of
liberation had laid bare ligament aud bone, and
where to all appearance, 10 human means
could save life, have patients by the use ofthese
Pills, been restored to good health; the devour-
lug disease having beencompletely eradicated.
In consequence of the pleasantness of their
operation, they are universally used in every
section Of this wide extended country where
they are made known, and are fast surperscding
every other Preparation of protcsScd similar
import. Upwards Of Fourteen Thousand cases
have been certified as cured, solely from their
use since the introduction of that into the U.
Stnics. thus establishing the fact beyond all
doubt, that the Brandreth Pills cure the {appa-
renhy) most opposite diseases, by the one
simple act Of continually evacuatng the bow
els with them, until the disease gives way;
therefore, whatever may be said of The THEORY,
the UTILITY of the PRACTICE is now BEYOND all
DOUBT.
As Brandreth's Pills cure Scurvy, Costive-
ness, and its consequences, seasiaring men,
and all travellers to foreign regions, should moi
be without, in order to resoit 10 them on every
occasion Of illness. No medicine chest is re-
quired where they are.
N. B,-Time or climate affects them not,
provided they are kept dry. Southern gentle:
men will find this medicine one that will insure
health to the people on their estates.
Be careful and never purchase Pills of a
Druggist, PROCESSING 10 be Brandreth's Pills.
Under NO CIRCUMSTANCES IS any one of this
class made an Agent. My own established
Agents have INVARIABLY an ENGRAVED Certf.
cate, signed B. Brandreth, NJ. D, in my own
hand writing. This is renewed yearly-and
when over twelve months old, it no longer
guarantees the genuineness of the medicine,
it would be WE'LL therefore, for purchasers to
carefully examine tho Certificate The seal is
not wax. but embossed on the paper with a steel
seal. 1.-THE genuine medicine is obtained, there
is no doubt of its giving perfect satisfaction,
and if all who wantit are careful to go by the
above directions, there is little doubt but they
will obtain it.
Remember 70 Meeting street, is the only
place in. Charleston where the genuine medi-
cine can be obtain, and at J. Sales, Hamburg
and c. A. DOWD, Edgefeld G. II. the only
authorised Agents for Edgefeld.
