1t has recently been demonstrated that
some articles of merchandise, which have
been before the public of England for the
last half century, are nine times more used
there than all other principal patent medi-
cines put together. We refer to Beecham's
Pills, which in order to meet the wishes and
requirements expressed by Americans, many
of whom already know their value, are now
introduced in such thorough manner that
no home need be without them in America.
All sufferers from indigestion, fiatulency.
constipation and all other forms of stomach
and liver troubles have now this famous and
inexpensive remedy within their reach; but
should they find. upon inquiry. that their
druggist does not keep BEEcHAM's PILLS,
they can send twenty-five cents to the Gem
