~ REAT experience aud judgment are re-
IN quired TO makea valuable, aud Il, the
same time innocent purgahve. This is posses
edonly by few.
The great majority Of the remedies adverlis.
led ofthls class; are manufactured by persons
who have no idea Of the relative or individual
powers of The drugs they use. II is this cause,
more than any other, which occasions the inert
ness and often injurious effects, produced by
advertised remedies. And hence the general
prejudice which prevails against them. Now
there is a grea, difference IN this respect, with
regard to the pills made by DIR. B Brandreth
and consequently their superior claims upon
thepublic. Each OF the articles composing
fhe Brandreth Pills. are prepared in that way
which:Will secure their benefcial effects 10 the
system in.the safest. and easiest manner. For
instance, some ingredients have to be p,epar-
ed in the vdcuo; that is,i the air is exhalsted-n
the. .uten,it, and remains so ounlila a combir alton
iseffected with other Ingredients, which after
wards prevents the air from acting inJurioG.ly
upon the me dicine. Again, the proportion for
ingredient depends upon its multiplying power
upon other Ingredients. For the power OF cif
ferent vegetable purgatives upon each other.
IS governed by similar laws That govern the
power ofigures by multiplication. Nine ad-
ded. 10 nine, makes eighteen; but nine times
nine, makes eighty.one. So it is with some
vegetable purgatiyes. By adding nine parts
OF one ingredient, and nine parts OF another
Ingredient together the po, er is increased,
not to. eighteen, but 10 eighty one. For cxanl-
pie, either of the articles to produce any purga.
live effect would have 10 be used to the extent
ofeighty-one grains; by combining them only
eighteen grains have 10 be used Again, ano-
tller ingredient is found to multiply this power
again, which in n proportion OF two grains.
would have no effect upon the animal ccono'
my, but which. added 10 eighteen grains OF a
compound Of two parts OF nine glains. each OF
two ingredients, will again multiply the power
which they have gained Of eishty'one, to one
hundred and sixiy.two So again, the mixture
Of twenty grains can be again multiplied by an
ADDITION oftwo grains, TO tho power ofthr
hundred and twenty.four grains. of the origi'
alpower Of the two first ingredients. Here
we ehdve.twenty.two grains, which as pursa'
tive contain: the power equal to three hundred
and ndtweuty.four grains Of either of The articles
: alone; nevertheless, also so powerful alter
being thus combined are safe in any quantity
always having beneficial effect, and in no case
capable Of doing injury, OF which thousands
boar. ample witness.
