The Ideal Family Laxative

is one that can be used by the entire
family young and old, week and strong
with any danger of harmful effects.
1t should have properties which issued
the same does, always having the same
effect, otherwise the quality will have
to be increased and finally lose it's
effect altogether. These properties
can be found in that old family rempdy
Brandretn's Pills, because its ingredi-
edits are of the purest herbal extracts.
and every pill is kept for three years
before being sold, which allows them
to mellow. We do not believe there is
a laxative on the market that is so care
fully made.
Brandreth's Pills are the same fine
laxative tonic pill your grandparents
used. They have been in use for over
century aud are sold in every drug
and medicine store, either plain or
sugar-coated.

money in canned rabbits, too, but the
most valuable part Of these small ami
