II Is Significant fact that most of the women
VINO have achieved fame in art literature. or
affairs, have enjoyed vigorous health. This
shows that the mind is never capable of the
creative work, unless the body is ut its best. The
woman. who aspires to fill an exalted place
among her associates, must be free from ncrv-
GUS oepliity and female weaknesses. DIR. Pieree's

BRANDRETHs PILLS are the best medi-
cine known.
First-They are purely vegetable, in fact
medicated food.
Second-The same dose always produces
the same effect, other purgatives require
increased doses and finally cease acting.
Ihird-They purify the blood.
Fou1th-They invigorate the digestion
and cleanse the stomach and bowels.
FJth-They stimulate the liver and
carry off vitiated bile and other depraved
secretions.
The first two or three doses tell the
story. The skin becomes clear, the eye
bright; the mind active; digestion is re-
stored; costiveness cured; the animal
vigor is recruited and all decay arrested
