70 years, died November 10Th, of abdominal
dropsy, after remaining in the hospital near

portance. The good results thus far obtained
are due in large measure to rigid mainten-
ance of cleanliness and the fine dietetic ar
engagements carried on under the direction of
the warden. The convicts have been sue
cessfully vaccinated again this season.

there are no jails there is less crime In
some counties no sentences are seen for
drunkenness or for selling intoxicating liquor

Constipation, the curse of our sedentary
life. dyspepsia, our national disease, and
rheumatism. which comes from acid stOm-
ach and from the sudden changes in our
climate. are quickly cured by taking one or
two Brandreth's pills every night for a
month. Persons are now living, enjoying
most vigorous health, who have taken one
of these pills night for over thirty years.
Chronic diseases are cured by taking from
two to four of Brandreth'S pills every night
for month. They purge away the old dis
eased body. This you replace with new
and healthy flesh prepared by an invigor-
