The Safest and Best Internal Remedy.

1t is safe to take Brandre this Pills at
any time, but to get the best results they
should be taken on an empty stomach, GO
ing to bed. 1t is well on the night you
take them to eat little or no supper. As
no two people are affected precisely the
same by like quantity of the same medi-
cine, it is difficult 10 determine the dose;
and it is something which must be left to
the discretion of the patients. We viii
say, though, the average dose for an adult
is from four to ten according TO effect.
For Constipation or Dyspepsia, one or
two taken every night will. in a short time,
perform an absolute cure. 1t is well to
take purgative at least once or twice a
month as preventive of disease. and as
these Pills are entirely vegetable, and are
made with the greatest care, we know
them TO be the safest and most effective
purgatiYe ever introduced to the public.
They have been sold in this country for
over nifty years, and have in that time at
tanned an unprecedented popularity.
