The Result of Merit.

When anything stands a test Of fifty years
among a discriminating people like the
Americans, it is pretty good evidence thar
there Is merit somewhere. The value Of a
medicine is best proved by its continued use
from year to year by the same persons and
faoilies, as we'll as By steady increasing
sale. Few. II any, medicines have met with
such continued success and popularity as
has marked the introduction end prog ess
of BRANDETH's PILLS which, after a trial
OF over Fifty years, are conceded 10 be the
safest and most effective purgative aud
blood purifier introduced 20 the public.
That this is the result of merit, and that
BRANDETH's PILLS actually perform all that
is claimed for them. ~ conclusiyely proved
by the fact that those who regard them
with the greatest favor are those who have
used them the longest.
BRAaDETH's PILLS are sold In every drug
