NREAT experience and judgment are required
 N to make valuable, and at the same time, in nocent purgative. This is possessed only by few.
 The great majority of the remedies advertised of this class, are manufac actured by persons who have no idea ot the relative or individual powers of the drugs they use. It is this cause. more than any furious effects. produced by advertised remedies.- And hence the general prejudice which prevails against them Now there IS great difference in this respect, with regard to the pills made by pr. B. Brandreth, and consequently their superior claims upon the public. Each of the articles composing the Brandreth Pills are prepared in that way which the safest and easiest manner. For instance, some ingredients have 70 be prepared in the vacuo;- ;- that is, the air is exhausted in the utensil, and remains until combination IS effected with oth. CT ingredients. which afterwards prevents the air from acting injuriously upon she medicine. Again, the proportion for each ingredient depends upon it's multiplying power upon other ingredients. For the power of different vegetable purgatlves upon each other, is governed by similar laws that govern inc power of figures by multipllcatlon Nine added to nine, makes eighteen: but nine times nine eighty-one. 50 it is with some vegetable purga- tives. By adding nine parts of one ingredient, and is increased, not to eighteen but to eightyone.- For example, either of the articles to produce any purgalive effect, would have to be used to the ex- tent of eighty-one grains; by combining them only eighteen grains have to be used Again, another ingredient is found to multiply this power again. which in proportion ot two grains would have Inc eHeCt upon the anlmal economy, put Wnlcn, added to eighteen grains of compound of two parts of nine grains each of two ingredients will again null tipy the power which they have gained of eioh;y. one, to one hundred and sixty.two. So again. the mixture of twenty grains, can be again multiplied by an addition ot two grains, to the power of three hundred and twenty-four grains, of the original power of the two first ingredients. Here we have twentC-iwo gra ins, which as purga,ive, contain
