The Result Of Merit.

When anything stands a test of fifty
years among discriminating people, it is
pretty good evidence that there is merit
somewhere. Few, if any, medicines have
met with such continued success and pop
ularity as has marked the progress of
BRANDRETH's PILLS, which, after trial of
over fifty years, are conceded to be the
safest and most effectual blood purifier,
tonic and Alternative ever introduced to the
public.
That this is the result of merit, and that
BRANDRETH's PILLS perform all that is
claimed for them, is conclusively proved
by the fact that those who regard them
with the greatest favor are those who have
used them the longest.
BRANDRETH's PILLS are sold in every
drug and medicine store, either plain or
suS.ar-coated.

The Republicans of the United States, as
