The immense and constantly increasing demand for them, both in this and foreign countries, is the best evidence of their value. Their sale to-day in the United States is far greater than any other cathartic medicine. This demand is not spasmodic, it is reular and steady. It is not of to-day or yesterday, it is an increase that hasbeen steadily growing forthe last thirty-fiveyears. What are the reasons for this great and growing demand? Dr. Schenck’s Mandrake Pillscontain no mer- cury, and yet they act with wonderful effect upon theliver. They cleanse the stomach and bowels of all irritating matter, which, if allowed to remain, Poizons the blood, and brings on Malaria, Chills ant Fever, and many other diseases. They sive health and strength to the diestive organs. The: appetite and give vigor to tho whole system. are in fact the medicine of all others which sh be taken intimes like the present, when malar: other epidemica are rainy, an they prepare the tem to resist attacks of discase of every charuct » Pills are roid b @ruprista at 25e. per box, on receipt of price.
