CosT OF THE ARMY AND Navy FOR Sixty

Mr. Greedy says that it may he urged that the
Indian service Is not wholly nor even mainly wars
like but then ii is also to be considered that the
Pensions originating in past wars are certain TO
absorb millions on millions of the future resources
and revenues of the country. Beside this period
begins after the close OF the long and exhalst>
ing War OF the Revolution. The computation
is therefore rather under than over fair exhibit OF
the average cost OF War.

from DR.. B. Brandreth. Let physicians and ths

ses the whole extent of the alimenaiy canal. II
then gi, es increased power to the rcuation of the
blood, by which it deposites any impurities it mw
contain in the bowels, which organ expels them
the body.
The action may continue for days, weeks or
months, as the mildness or urgency of the disease
may demand, or until the entire body has been e.
vacuated and re made from the food consumed.
How important 1t is that persons OF feeble frame.
Of impure constitutions, should without delay com.
mence with this pure and wholesome medicine
No time ought to be lost by using Lozenges or
Candies as medicines, which are better adapted for
the destruction of the teeth than for the cure Of any
disease. Experience has sufficiently tested that
these remedies contain invariably ca!omel and 9TH
Ell active chemical agents that have very destruc.
tive effect, OF which there are loo many individual
ly convinced to their cost.
The testimony in favor OF the Brandreth Pills,
and the numbers who are daily raised from bed
OF misery by their use, render it imperative that al
who are suffering from sickness should give then
trial.

That Brandreth's Pills have stood fourteen
years test in the United States.
That they vegetable and innocent medicine.

er chronic recent, infectious or otherwise.
That they purify the blood, and stay the further
progress Of disease in the human body
That, in many cases. where the dreadful Tavages
of liberation had laid bare ligament and bone, and
where to all appearance no human means couA
