An Editors Experience.

1t is safe to take Brandreth's Pills at any
zine, but to get the best results they should
DC taken on the empty stomach, going to
oed. 1t is well on the night you take them
20 eat little or no supper. AS no two people
are affected precisely the same by a like
quantity of the same medicine, it is difficult
10 determine the dose; and it is something
which must be left to the discretion of the
patients We will say, though, the average
dose for an adult is from four to ten, accord
ing to effect.
For Constipation or Dyspepsia, one or two
taken every night will, in a short time, per
form an absolute cure. II is we'll to take a
purgative at least once or twice month as
a 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 purga'ive ever Ill,
troduced to the public. They have been
sold in this country for over fifty years, and
have in that time attained an unprecedent'
ed popularity

absurd questions. Since the manufacture
of this article enc mill has made about g.

been put on the market The Remaining
1900 kegs are odd. sizes and have not been
asked Tor. The nails shipped away have
given entire satisfaction, and no fault iB
found with them. This nail will no doubs
sell more readily than those made OF iron,
when once offered to the trade. In few
weeks another lot Will be put on the mar
ket. In this city very, few of the nails have
been used, but carpenters and coahmen who
find numerous places for its use, speak OF it
in the highest terms.
