is one that can be used by the entire
family, young and old, weak and
strong, without any danger of harmful
effects. It should have properties
which insure the same dose always
having the same effect, otherwise the
quantity will have to be increased and
finally lose it's effect altogether. These
properties can be found in that old
family remedy, Brandreth's Pills, be
cause its ingredients are of the purest
herbal extracts, and every pill Is kept
for three years before being sold
which allows them to mellow. We dc
not believe there is laxative on the

great writer's together and Bjornson's
