A Valuable Remedy.

Brandreth's Pills have been used by millions
of human beings. Their success is founded upon
the theory of reason and an attentive observa-
ton of symptoms of disease. Whatever makes
bad digestion breeds disease, and whatever
makes good digestion cures disease. Brandreth's
Pills make good digestion, purify the blood, and
remove ali bad humors out of she body by the
organs of the stomach and bowels. They act in
harmony with vital action and work OF nutri-
ton. The strength increases. the skin and the
eye become clear, and the symptoms of the NAL
ady are surely rendered mllder by their use.
They are harmless for all ages and conditions.
