Brandreth's Pills are the oldest, safest aud best blood purifier and purgative known. They are purely vegetable, therefore harm- less. They are always the same and always produce the same efact. Other purgatiyes require increased doses and finally cease act- iug altogether. A course of one or two of Brandreth's Pills taken each night is posi- tive cure for constipation, headache and bilious disorders. If you can't take them plain, get them sugar.coated.

The Directory f0r Nurses.

Now we'll advanced in the third year of it's existence, has received the confidence and patronage of the public far beyond we had any reason to expect for new enterprise.
 Hundreds of Nurses have been sent to as many sick rooms, and the fact that, with rare exceptions, entire satisfaction has been given all parties, is sufficient proof that the selections have been judicious. Generally the calls for Nurses have been answered promptly, but in sickly seasons the demand has been greater than the Directory could supply. Upwards of hundred names are on our register, representing the majority of the best nurses in this city and vicinity, both graduates of the Training School and others.
 only those are sent who are graduates of recognized schools and have had experience in the private sick room since leaving the Hospital.
 But, bearing in mind the fact that many cannot afford the expense and not every in- valid requires the special skill of the Trained Nurse, we have on our books the names of many desirable nurses who have devoted their lives to the care of the sick, and who are in every respect competent to perform the duties they undertake and for a compen- sation below what the services of the Grad- uated Nurses will generally command. It is the object of the Directory to supply promptly competent nurses, both male and female, for any case which may present. and one within the means of the applicant. The fee for furnishing Nurse is small and much valuable time and expense will be saved by consulting the Directory when @ nurse is needed, either in emergency or for future service.
 Any information in regard to nurses will be furnished and all calls by telegraph, mail or telephone will receive prompt attention bv
