Dr. Brandreth's Pills.
.s Scientific JlHedtcine.

HREAT experience and judgment are re-
=" InIied 10 make va aluable, and at the
same time innocent purgatye. This is posses
ed only by few. ,-s..
The great majority Of the remedies advertis.
ed OF this class, are manufactured By persons
who have no idea of the relative or individual
powers OF ihe drugs theyiuse, II is this cause,
more than any other, which occasions the inert.
ness aud often injurious, effects, produced by
advertised remedies. Aud hence the general
prejudice which prevails against them. Now
there;is great difference in this respect, with,
regard 10 the pills made by DR.. B Brandreih,
and consequently their superior claims upon
the public. Each. oil the articles composinp
the Brandreth Pills, are prepared in that way
which will secure their beneficial effects tn the
system in the safest and easiest manner. For
instance, some ingredients have 10 be prepar-
ed in the vacuo; that is, the air is exhausted in
the utensii and remains SO until combir alton
is effected with other ingredients, which alter
wards prevents the air.lrom acting inInrionsly
upon the medicine. Again, the propor,ion for
ingredient depends upon lIs multiplying power
upon other Ingredients. For the:power of Gif:
ierent vegetable purgaiIyGs upon each other,
IS governed by similar laws that govern The
power Figures by multiplication. Nine ad-
ded to nine, makes eighteen but nine times
nine, makes elghty.one.., So il is with some
vegetable .pursatiycs. By adding nine parts
of one Ingredient and nine parts oil another
ingredient. together, the po, .er is increased,
not to eighteen, but to eighty -one.: For exam
pie, either OF the articles to produce any purga-
tive effect, would huve 10 be used to the extent
Of eighty-one grains; by combining them only
eighteen grains have 10 be used. Again, ano.
ther ingredient is found to multiply this power
again, which in a proportion Of two grains,
would have 40 effect upon the animal econo.
my, but which, added 10 eighteen grains of a
compound oftwo parts. .of. nine gluins, each of
two ingredients. will again multiply the power
which they have gained Of eighty one, to one
hundred and si4ty'two So again, the mixture
| Of twenty grains can be again multiplied by az
ADDITION oil two grains, TO tho power Of three
hundred and twenty'four grains, Of the origi'
| nal power Of the two first ingredients. Here
we have twenty-five grains, which as pnrga
tive contain the power equal TO three hundred
and twenlyfou grains oil either Of the articles
alone; nevertheless, also so powerful aftel
being thus combined, are safe in any quantity
always having beneficial effect, and in po case
capable Of doing injury, Of which tliohsand'
bear ample witness. :.
