A Well Known Remedy.

One of the oldest, safest and most fav
orably known remedies in the world to-
day is Brandreth's Pills-a blood puri-
fer and laxative. Being purely vegeta
BILE they can be used by old or young
with perfect safety and while other rem
edies require increased doses and finally
csase acting altogether, with Brandreth s
Pills the came dose always has the same
effect, no matter how long they are
taken. One or two pills taken each
night for a while is the best thing
known for any one troubled with con-
stipation, indigestion, dyspepsia or any
trouble arising from an impdre state Of
the blood.
Brandreth's Pills have been in use fer
over a century and are sold in every drug
and medicine store, either plain or
sugar-coated.

Al which Aref

An amusing discussion recently took
place between an artist and an author
as to which period of her life a
woman was the most fascinating. Ac-
cording to the artist woman should
not be painted between the ages Of
twenty-five and forty, as she was in
the greatest transition period of her
life. The author on the other hand,
declares that she is at the height Of
her fascination and beauty between
the ages of thirty and forty. The ques-
ton is still unsettled Bremen Zeitung
