DRoPsY OF THE HEAD CURED.

A poor child, boy about two years old, was
given up TO die. The parents, neIghbors and doc
tors had no hopes of his recovery. For several
days his breathing had been short and death like,
and. in fact, those around him supposed another
night would be his last. In this stage of the case,
an aunt of the child was sent for, with whom the
little sufferer was great fayorite. This lady
having arrived, and being seated by the child, ask
ed a few questions as the condition of the chlds
bowels, and then expressed an opinion that Bran
dreh's Pills were capable of saving its life. She
was SO earnest in her remarks that her advice was
followed from the moment She gave him two
Pills at once, and followed them up with more in
about an hour; she crushed the Pills and gave them
in molasses, washing them down with little tea.
given him over twelve Pills, and the discharges
were of the most malignant nature. Suffice it to
say, that in fity-two hours she had given him

A poor child, in William street, was taken down
With scarlet fever. The doctor in attendance had
been remarkably unsuccessful and determined to
see what no medicine would do: in all the cases
ne had heard OF this fever were fatal, and he con-
cluded thst no medicine would be worse than this
mad proved. So in this case he ordered Water
Gluel. The poor mother knew how fatal this fever
mad been, and she thought"I will give my child
Brandreth's Pills and the Grue.'' So she gave
him tour Pills which operated well. The doctor
the next day. was pleased. told the mother the
child was doing we'll, and to go on with the water
Cruel. She did-and four more Pills. Every dav
the doctor ordered cruel, and every day the mother
gave IRON two to four Brandreth's Pills. In a
little more than a week the child was well. The
doctor SAID THAT case had given him lesson for
the child was cured simply by Cruel, whereas every
other case OF scarlet fever he had had that winter
he had lost, when ne had pursued active treatment.
But now he was satisfied that Nature was the best
