The Resale of M~rss.

When anything stands test of fifty years among q discriminating people like the Americans, it is pretty good evidence that there is merit some where. The value of a medicine is best proved by its continued use from year to year by the same persons and families, as we'll as by stea lilly in creasing sale. Few, if any, medicines have met with such continued suc- cess and popularity as BBASDRETH's Pms, which, after 8 trial of over fifty ears, are conceded to be the safest and most effective purgative intro duced to the public.
 That this is the result of merit, and that BRANDRETH's PILLS actually per- form all that is claimed for them, is conclu<ively proved by the fact that those who regard them with the great est favor are those who have used them the longest.
 BRANDRETH's PILLS are sold in every drug and medicine store, either plain or sugar coated

that pen you these few lines to let you
know that 1 am well of my described
stomach trouble. do not believe it will
return, but if it should will write to you
again for some more of your most excel

saint on earth among US poor unfortunates
who have been duped and doped so long
by lot of quack doctors. 1 do not mean
myself, as have no confidence in them,
but l have seen SO many on the Sound
who have never known any relief. So
many have been robbed and then turned
away not only with loss of health but
money. But how quickly their eyes were
opened when they took your medicines
and saw the miracles which they accom-
plished. Wishing you happy and pros
porous life, 1 remain yours truly,
