Now whenever sick / take Brandreth's

Brandreth's Pills are the Oldest. safest
and best blood purifier and purgative
known. They are purely vegetable,
therefore harmless. They always pro-
duce the same effect. Other purgatiyes
require increased doses and finally cease
acting altogether. A course of one or
two of Brandreth's Pills taken each night
is positive cnre for constipation, head
ache and all bilious disorders.
Brandreth's Pills are sold in every drug
and medicine store, either plain or sugar
coated.

Singular Fact In British Politics,

LONDON, June 16.-It is rather singular
that while the Roman Catholics of Ireland
are generally arrayed against the govern.
ment, LORD Salisbury's ministry is being
assailed in England on the charge of be-
ing too friendly with the pope. The low
churchmen are much aroused by the re-
cent mission of Sir Lintorn Simons to the
Vatican, and especially by the agreement
that marriages between Romanists and
non Romanists in Malta must have papal
approval for their validity.
