Now there is great difference in this respect, with regard lo the pills made by pr B Brandreih, and consequently their superior clalms upon the public & Each ot the articles comPGsiinsG imposing will secure their beneficial effects to the system in the safest and easiest manner. For instance, some ingredients have 10 be prepared m the vacuo - that is, the air is exhausted in the utensl, and remains SO until combination is effected with oth- CT ingredients, which afterwards prevents the aif from acting iDjuri0usly upon ;he medicine.

So again, the mixture of twenty grains, can be again multiplied by addition of two grains, to the power of three hundred and twenty-four grains, oT the original power of the two first ingredients. Here we have twenty.two gra ins, which as a purgative, contain the power equal to three hundred and twenty.fo grains of either of the articles alone nevertheless also powerful after being thus combined aye safe
