general highmindedness Of the profession -
No! il is from ignorance and education that
they are opposed TO purgation with the Bran

Brandreth's Pills will, and am willing to
submit them 10 any trial in the public hUspi-
tails that may be desired, as have often pub
licly declared. But physicians at these insti-
tutions say, we will not use them. sir, unless
you tell US Of what they are made! 1t is for
their valuable effects in curing disease. and
their special value in cholera that wish them
to be used, is my reply. And is it Of conse-
quence that what compose the Brandreth Pills
should be known! II you send prescription
TO The apothecary, you never have two apothe-
carries who make use Of the same quality OF
drugs, and in fact 50 much do drugs of the same
name differ in appearance, that it requires
great experience to tell that they belong to the
same family. Brandretn's Pills are purely
vegetable they are ten times more powerful,
weight for weight, than calomel; they are, in
fact, the m1st economical medicine in the
world; for one pill, the cost Of which is one
cent, will purge some constitutions equal 10 an
ounce of salts. They are the poor mans medi-
cine. 1t is TO him who has small means, and
who has young family depending upon him
for support that their worth is evident. Those
who can afford to have doctor and be sick a
mnnth, can do so; but al cannot have this
high privilege: children would starve. Bran
