II Is not strange that Beecham's Pills
are so universally and fayorably known
when one considers that the manufac-
turers make use of over 1000 advertising
mediums and spend about S550,0CC
through them every year. such liberal
use Of the press is bound to have results.
and proof Is seen in the exceptional facili-
ties found necessary TO employ IN the
manufacture of the pills in order TO meet
tho enormous and increasing demand,
among them tho pill-machine which shapes
Il, 600 pills per minute. And, furthermore,
in the fact that the average quantity kept
IN stock 10 eight and one half tons, which
means about n. 6s4, 200 pills always ready
for shipment. These figures are almost
lofty enough to make one feel dizzy, but
then he has only to swell the ranks and
become user of these famous pills when
all dizziness. biliousness, indigestion, sick
headache, or liver and stomach troubles
will disappear.
