The Evils Of Constipation.

Are many; in fact almost every seri-
GUS illness has its origin in constipa-
ton, and some medicines, instead Of
preventing constipation, add to it.
This is true of most cathartics, which
when first used, have a beneficial
effect, but the dose has to be con-
tinually increased, and before long the
remedy ceases to have the slightest
effect. There is one preparation, how
ever, that can be relied upon to pro-
duce the same results with the same
dose, even after fifty years daily use,
and this is Brandreth's pills, which
has a record of over 100 years as the
standard remedy for constipation
and all troubles arising from an Inn
pure state Of the blood. NJ
Brandreth's Pills are the same fine
laxative tonic pill your grandparents
used and can be found in every drug
and medicine store, either plain or
sugar-coated.
