HN The Action NM
OF DR.. VIM. Brazies's Liver Medicine upon
the system is remarkably prompt, an effect
due not only from the value of the ingredi-
ents composing it, but from their great pu-
rity and the care taken in the compound
ing. frequently one-half the effect OF
good prescription is lost by its being pre-
pared from material which has become ill.,
ert from age or other cause, or from the
combination being made in careless or ig-
norant manner. The proprietor of DIR.
Brszier's Liver Medicine, keeping this fact
always in view, never suffers the standard
of this celebrated remedy to deteriorate,
and hence it may always be relied upon as
being the best Liver Medicine for South
