BRANDRETm,S PILLS

As general family medicine, especially in coun-
- try so subject to sudden changes of temperature
as this, their value is incalculabe. BY having the
Brandreth pills always on hand, should a sudden
attack of sickness take place. they can be given at
once, and will often have effected cure before the
physicisn could have arrived.
In choc and inflammation of the bowels, these pills
will at relieve, and perseverance in their use
according to the directions, will surely do all that
medicine can do to restore the health of the patient
In all cases of indigestion, worms, asthma, dis.
eases of the heart, and all affections of the stomach
and bowels, the Brnadreth pills will be found nev.
er failing remedy.
To ensure the full benefit of the celebrated pills
they should be kept in the house, so that, upon the
first commencement of sickness, they may be a
once resored to. One dose then is better than
dozen after disease has become established in the
system. For sale at the store of II. A. STIpGER.
