A Remedy for Ills For Over Beecham's Pills have unfailingly carried the message of health and good cheer to the homes of the people. They are the best family medicine ever compounded. Wherever health is valued, Beecham's Pills are held in the highest esteem by men and women. Compounded from purely vegetable ingredients, these pills possess properties which make them invaluable to the sailor, the soldier, the man of business and the captain of industry. Women find Beecham's Pills an aid to beauty, a harbinger of health and of special assistance in ailments that are peculiarly feminine. BEECHAM'S have never been exploited by sensational advertising, yet their sales have steadily increased in every quarter of the globe. Personal letters endorsing Beecham's Pills are received by the thousands, but it is never necessary to publish them. The pills recommend themselves. For the everyday ills of life, there is no other remedy so prompt, so safe, so thorough, so highly prized by old and young, as Beecham's Pills. As a stomach corrective they have no superior; for the liver, kidneys and bowels they accomplish everything for which they are recommended. Indigestion, biliousness, sick headache, constipation and their attendant ills cannot exist when Beecham's Pills are used as directed. They regulate, tone and strengthen all the bodily functions-not generally, but always. That Beecham's Pills keep faith with the people is amply attested by the enormous Annual Sales Over 6,000,000 Boxes The Universal Medicine In boxes with full directions 10c. and 25c.
