y— “All knowledge is obtained from facts." 
Brandreth’s Pills take from the circulation what occasions apoplexies and dangerous 
affections ; and never injure, because they are composed of herbs and their essences, whose 
use infallibly purify the blood. 
Lord Bacon says, “ It is impossible to calculate how many days might 
be added to the life of man by the occasional use of purging medicines. 
Their effect on the human frame is the same as the pruning trees has upon 
them. The excrescences are removed and a new stimulus created. When 
constant exercise cannot be used from any cause, the occasional use of 
opening medicine is absolutely required. Thus the conduits of the blood, 
the fountain of life, are kept free from those impurities which would prevent 
its steady current ministering health. Thus morbid humors are prevented 
from becoming mixed with it. It is nature which is thus assisted through 
the means and outlets which she has provided for herself.” 
But the difficulty has been to secure an innocent, reliable purgative, 
which could be taken without injury; this we find in Brandreth’s Pills, 
which carry out a universal principle of nature ; they are the best anti- 
bilious and aperient Pills known. These Pills, if taken so as to purge 
freely, will surely cure any curable disease. There is no form or kind of 
sickness upon which they do not exert a curative influence. Thus, by their 
power in resisting putrefaction, they cure measles, small-pox, worms, and all 
con<agious fevers. There is not a medicine in the world so able to cure the 
mass of blood, and restore it to a healthy condition, as the Brandreth Pills. 
This makes them so valuable in curing all kinds of chronic diseases, as ery- 
sipelas, salt rheum, scald head, white swellings, sore eyes, and recent or 
chronic enlargement of the glands, or otherwise. Perhaps the Brandreth 
Pills are one of the most powerful remedies in nature for the cure of rheu- 
matism and old diseases of the skin and bones ; for they open and penetrate 
into the most inmost recesses of the body, and drive out all malignant humors. 
They dissolve coagulated blood, and cure inflammations of all kinds, whether 
of the bowels, of the lungs, or of other parts of the body. Their power is so 
great over the brain and nerves, that palsies, convulsions (both in the mother 
and child) and insanity are cured by them. In fact, let any one suffering 
from sickness use them and be cured. They are a medicine which has to 
be used to be appreciated.

1 'Brandreth’s A.nnual Calendar for 7870. 
Several years ago a number of American women, who had become inter- 
ested in the question, sent to Worth, the celebrated Parisian modiste, asking 
him, “ What costume can be devised that will be perfectly healthy and at the 
same time beautiful ?” He replied, “ I have to make the same answer to you 
that I have made to the women of Europe. The costume of the Persian 
woman is the handsomest upon the face of the earth. It consists of a loose 
waist, short skirt, and trousers not too loose. I have made that costume 
beautifully and hung it up in Paris, but the women will not wear it. I can 
do nothing more. They must suffer until they are willing to adopt it. 
Instantaneous Emetic.—Two teaspoonfuls mustard mixed in warm 
water. For a child with croup it relieves at once. A tablespoonful of lard 
warmed and given is said to be an instantaneous emetic. 
Cure for Gravel.—Sweeten your tea with equal parts of honey and 
sugar. Never has been known to fail. If possible secure honey made from 
clover blossoms instead of wild flowers and buckwheat. 
PARALYSIS CURED; 
Sing Sing, N. Y., March 14, 1878. 
My Dear Doctor,—Some years ago I was afflicted with paralysis of the 
wrists. My hands dropped and were entirely useless. It was an awful 
affliction, as I could not do my housework. Nothing helped me, neither 
electricity, rubbing, nor liniments. Finally your son George got me to try 
Allcock’s Porous Plasters. I put one on each wrist, covering part of the 
back of the hand. In a few days I got a little power in my hand. Little 
by little I got better. In three months I got entirely well, and have remained 
so ever since. Yours truly, 
Alice Sniffin, wife of Benj. Snifin. 
Breckenridge, Summit Co., Col. Ter., March 19, 1878. 
Dear Doctor,—One hundred of Annual Calendars for 1878 are received. I 
shall thoroughly circulate them in our county. I want to make Brandreth’s 
Pills and Allcock’s Porous Plasters well known, as they are just what we 
need here. I and my family could not get along without them. I shall need a 
fresh lot to use and sell soon. I know your Pills and Plasters are most valu- 
able remedies, and able to do much more than represented. With them we 
need no druggists or doctors.

KIDNEYS AND HEART MADE SOUND. 
438 Franklin Avenue, Brooklyn, October 25th, 1877. 
Benjamin Brandreth, M.D., President Porous Plaster Co. 
Dear Sir,—I have been troubled for several years past, in fact ever since 
I retired from active service in the army, with an affection of the kidneys and 
weakness in the small of the back. I have used various preparations, but 
have never found relief until I applied your Allcock’s Porous Plasters, 
which I did upon the recommendation of a friend, and in a short time found 
relief. I used them for several months, putting on fresh ones as the old ones 
wore out, and when I ceased to wear them I was in better condition than I 
had been for several years. 
I keep them constantly in the house, and have applied them to others 
in many instances, and always with success. One instance was that of a 
servant, who had occasional attacks of irregular action of the heart that 
rendered her almost helpless during their continuance. Being a favorite 
servant, my wife took advice of our family physician ; but before acting upon 
it I advised her to try the Allcock’s Porous Plasters, which she did with 
marked success, placing the plasters between the breasts, over the heart, and 
upon the spine, using in all five of the Plasters at one time, and continuing 
it for about three months. The girl is now in vigorous health, and able to 
earn her livelihood at almost any occupation. 
I take pleasure in giving you the above information, as I am a firm be- 
liever in the efficacy of these Plasters from both observation and actual ex- 
perience. Very truly yours, 
M. P. Bestow. 
How to Make Barley Water.—Take two or three tablespoonfuls of 
pearl barley ; wash well ; boil a few minutes, and throw the water away; 
then add two quarts of boiling water, and slowly boil for three or four hours. 
If it gats too thick, add boiling water. Before using, salt to taste, with sugar 
or without. I always take with salt alone. 
Characters never change ; opinions alter ; characters are only developed. 
A TRUE STATEMENT. 
A gentleman had diarrhoea very bad ; he wrote home, “ Brandreth did 
it!” The “old at home” replied, “Did what?” “Why, cured the 
diarrhoea !” Yes, a single full dose cured him of a complaint which, other- 
wise treated, might have carried him soon to his grave. If we would only 
consider that this intelligent purging takes out of the bowels and circulation 
dead material, we would not be surprised at the benefit secured. Besides, 
other means often drive the disease to the head.

5 '-Brandreth’s jLnnual Calendar for 1879. 
FEVER AND AGUE CURED. 
Longtown, Panola City, Miss., Feb. 22, 1878. 
B. Brandreth, M.D. 
Dear Sir,—As my experience in the use of your Pills and Allcocic’s 
Porous Plasters may be the means of encouraging others who are afflicted 
with rheumatism to give them a trial, I will state to you that since using them 
I feel like a new person, the rheumatism cured, which my physician had 
been giving me medicine for at different times, without giving me any per- 
manent relief. I also had been having chills off and on for several months. 
Had taken quinine and other medicines by my doctor’s advice until I lost all 
confidence in it, for my chills would return at short intervals, and my consti- 
tution was so worn down that I had given up ever to be well again. Had no 
energy or life scarcely. While in that condition I received a box of your 
Pills from my niece in Tennessee. Commenced using them with three Pills 
at a dose ; but after taking the first dose thought I was too wreak to use them, 
they acted so powerfully ; but to my great astonishment they only strength- 
ened me, and I continued to take them night and morning, two at a dose, 
until I used up the box. Then I wrote to you for more, and continued the 
use of them until I had taken five boxes. Have never had a chill since, 
neither have we had a doctor in our family since. My husband and others in 
my family use them, and in fact our doctors’ wives are sending to me for 
them. I could give you the testimony of many others, but have written 
enough. Please send me another supply, for I do not want to get out. 
Yours respectfully, Mrs. S. C. Askew. 
Bleeding, in every form, is wrong. All poisonous remedies, mineral and 
vegetable, that are used for the removal of disease, are wrong. They leave 
an effect upon the system worse than the disease, and prostrate the powers 
of life. 
A gentleman told General Allcock, a few days ago, that he was ruptured 
on both sides thirty years ago, and always since then had to wear a double 
truss. During the past summer it became so painful that he was compelled 
to remain at home and leave off the truss. Having used Allcock’s Porous 
Plasters, he thought they might supply a sufficient support by applying 
them properly. He tried the experiment, and found it a perfect success in 
affording great relief. This gentleman can now walk a considerable dis- 
tance with no other support than Allcock’s Porous Plaster. If used in 
the early stage of rupture the support would be sufficient to cure in many 
cases without the support of a truss'at all. The gentleman has kindly sent 
his address : Moses B. Taylor, Esq., 345 West Thirtieth Street, New York 
City. It is indeed a remarkable case, that a gentleman seventy years of age, 
who has worn a double truss for thirty years, discards the same for two All- 
cock’s Porous Plasters, and is now able to walk for miles without pain.

Moon’s Perigee at Washington, 9 d. 8h. ev. Moon’s Apogee at Wash., 25 d. 8 h. morn. 
7 33randreth’s Annual Calendar for 1879. 
A LIFE-LONG MEDICINE. 
Erie, Whiteside Co., III., Feb. n, 1878. 
B. Brandreth, M.D. 
Some twenty-five years ago I came into this western part of the State of 
Illinois, and found almost every one down with fever and ague. All who 
took plenty of Brandreth’s Pills got rid of their shakes, and I used to tell 
doctors, “ Use plenty of Brandreth’s Pills and your patients will soon 
be free from ague and chills.” I never took it, and am not afraid of taking it 
while I have this shield in my pocket. 
I am over sixty years of age, and have yet to see the man who enjoys 
better health. I can run, walk, or work as well as I could twenty-five years 
ago. I sometimes now, in the warmest weather, work twelve or fourteen 
hours a day, and do not know what it is to be tired. My eye-sight is perfect. 
I give Brandreth’s Pills credit for it all. I always take in Mhrch eight 
or ten good doses of Pills, and also again in September, no matter how 
well I feel. This I have done every year since 1837. I have always told 
my people if I should happen to be taken very sick or deprived of my senses, 
to give me Brandreth’s Pills until I am well or dead, and the sicker I am 
the larger doses I want given me. 
W. L. Green. 
Every one is as God made him—and oftentimes a great deal worse. 
Words confuse ideas ; use as few as possible. 
There is a discount on the most perfect happiness. 
The blush of a maiden is nature’s signal of warning. 
Not one man in a thousand marries the girl he most wanted. 
There gre many moral people whose virtues somehow seem to be a misfit. 
Discontent is a vital element of civilization ; without it there would be no 
progress. 
The quiet fellow in the corner, who lets his rivals do all the talking, gen- 
erally marries the girl. 
Let young men be patient in their wooing, for a maiden’s love may be 
cold on her lips yet warm in her heart. 
In the quiet of the early morning we should laden our hearts with kind- 
ness and good-will for use during the day. 
Haste turns usually upon a matter of ten minutes too late, and may be 
avoided by a habit like that of Lord Nelson, to which he ascribed his success 
in life, of being ten minutes too early.

LETTER OF DEPUTY SURROGATE W. M. SKINNER. 
Surrogate’s Office, White Plains, Westchester Co., N. Y., 
April 6th, 1878. 
B. Brandreth, M.D. 
My Dear Sir,—Some years ago I injured my ankle ; I was laid up for two 
years ; the wound would not heal, and I was compelled to move on crutches. 
I spent over six hundred dollars in medicine and doctors, but all in vain. I 
finally began to use Brandreth’s Pills in doses of five or six every day ; 
after using the Pills two weeks the offensive discharge from the fever sore 
was much less. This greatly encouraged me, and I continued to use the 
Pills for nearly six weeks, when the ulcer healed, and my ankle became per- 
fectly well. Altogether I used some fifteen boxes of Brandreth’s Pills. 
This is a wonderful cure, and you ought to publish it. 
Yours truly, W. M. Skinner. 
“What does transatlantic mean, mamma?” 
“ Across the Atlantic, child. Hold your tongue and ask no more ques- 
tions.” 
“Then does transparent mean a cross mamma?” 
1908 Closey Street, St. Louis, Mo., June 1, 1878. 
B. Brandreth, M.D., President Porous Plaster Co. 
Last March I was again seized with my old complaint, the liver disease ; 
tried liniment without success ; sent for an Allcock’s Porous Plaster, and 
the very minute I put it on I felt half cured, and in three days was all right 
again. This can be testified to by my family. You may publish my name 
as you please, for I am so grateful to you. 
Yours truly, Joseph Peleshka 
To Measure Corn in Bulk.—Multiply length, breadth, and average 
thickness (in inches) together, and divide by 3,888. The quotient will be the 
number of bushels. 
Hair Wash.—Try half an ounce of borax to a quart of water for a hair 
wash ; apply very gently with a sponge on alternate days. Apply a little 
glycerine dissolved in water. 
Bruises.—To prevent the skin discoloring after a bruise, take a little dry 
starch or arrowroot, merely moisten it with cold water, and place it on the 
injured part. This is best done immediately, so as to prevent the action of 
the air upon the skin. Invaluable for black eyes.

11 OBrandreth’s Annual Calendar for 7879. 
A Merry Place.—“ Which do you think the merriest place in existence ?” 
“ That immediately above the atmosphere that surrounds the earth.” 
“ Why ?” 
* Because I am told that there all bodies lose their gravity.” 
The Uses of the Lemon.—A piece of lemon bound upon a corn will 
relieve it in a day or so. It should be renewed night and morning. The 
free use of lemon juice and sugar will always relieve a cough. 
19 School St., Newark, N. J., 
May 29th, 1878 
B. Brandreth, M.D. 
Dear Sir,—In February last I suffered from a severe attack of scarlet sore 
throat, contracted by close attention to my sick son, who has since died 
from scarlet fever. I applied at once one of Allcock’s Porous Plasters on 
the upper portion of my chest, and gargled with cold water, and it effected a 
complete cure. I send you this so that others may see what your Plasters 
will do. I am gratefully yours, John Ray. 
Because you flourish in worldly affairs, 
Don’t be haughty and put on airs 
With insolent pride of station , 
Don’t be proud and turn up your nose 
At poorer people in plainer clothes ; 
But learn, for the sake of your mind’s repose, 
That wealth’s a bubble that comes—and goes ! 
And that all proud flesh, wherever it grows, 
Is subject to irritation. 
Rules for the Sick Room.—x. Bring in fresh flowers or something new 
every day ; even the commonest green thing is better than nothing. 
2. Don’t talk about anything unpleasant. Talk about something that will 
lead the patient’s thoughts away from his aches and pains, and leave him in 
a cheerful and restful state of mind. 
3. Never ask a sick person what he wants to eat. If he asks for anything 
that will not injure him, get it if you can. Never bring him much at a time. 
A little bit in a dainty dish will sometimes tempt the appetite when a large 
quantity would cause nausea. 
4. Expect sick persons to be unreasonable. They will fret and complain, 
no matter wliat happens, and must be borne with patiently.

13 jBrandreth’s Annual Calendar for 1879* 
BRUISED BACK CURED. 
Point Pleasant, Squan, N. J., August 10, 1877. 
B. Brandreth, M.D., President of the Porous Plaster Company. 
Dear Sir,—During the month of July I was out fishing. Coming in, a 
breaker caught the boat in which I was rowing, and she was violently 
pitched on shore. I was hurled with great force against the centre-board 
trunk, and I thought my back was broken. I was lifted out of the boat, suf- 
fering great agony, and carried home. I was paralyzed, and thought I would 
never walk ; but I remembered Ali.cock’s Porous Plasters, which I had used 
very effectively for a pain in the side, and immediately had two put on. Won- 
derful as it may appear, the violent pain left me in about two hours, and that 
night I was able to walk a little. I kept the Plasters on a week, getting bet- 
ter all the time, and finally got well, owing to Allcock’s Porous Plasters. 
Every fisherman at Point Pleasant knows this to be true. 
Yours truly, James Fleming. 
Curiosity in children is but an appetite after knowledge. “ I doubt 
not,” says Locke, “ that one great reason why many children abandon them- 
selves to silly sports, and trifle away all their time insipidly, is because they 
found their curiosity baulked and their inquiries neglected.” 
CURE OF LIVER COMPLAINT AND HEADACHE. 
No. 128 South 98TH St., Reading, Pa., Oct. 29, 1877. 
I have been a martyr to liver complaint for five years. Nothing relieved 
me until I used Allcock’s Porous Plasters. They cured me. I have used 
them for rheumatism in the arm and shoulder with the best effect. My wife 
always gets rid of her headaches by putting an Allcock’s Porous Plaster 
below the nape of the neck. Truly yours, 
Morris Rambo. 
IMPORTANT FOR CONSIDERATION. 
No changes of the weather will materially affect the body if the blood is 
pure. Every individual, even the most diseased, has within him a germ or 
root of that original pure blood of our common mother Eve ; which germ of 
pure blood is the support of his life, and is in constant struggle to throw off 
the heterogeneous corrupt humors which are the causes of disease in the indi- 
vidual. By purging the body of this diseased individual of its bad humors, 
you allow the germ of pure blood to gain ground and to make blood of 
a better quality, and so on progressively till the whole mass is regenerated ; 
for the good principle or good pure blood is always striving to be predomi- 
nant over the bad or diseased humors.

LETTER FROM THE HON. JAMES W. HUSTED, EX-SPEAKER OF 
THE ASSEMBLY. 
Peekskill, N. Y., October 30, 1877. 
"B. Brandretii, M.D., President of the Porous Plaster Company. 
My Dear Sir,—I desire to bear witness to the virtues of Allcock’s Porous 
Plasters. About a year ago I was thrown from a carriage and badly 
bruised. Suffering great pain I was carried home, and some three or four 
of Allcock’s Plasters were applied. The effect was almost immediate, and 
in a short time all pain left me, and I was soon up and attending to business. 
Your Plasters are very useful in cases of severe colds and coughs. I used 
three—one on my back and two on the chest—when I had so bad a cough 
that my friends thought that nothing but a trip South would save me. These 
Plasters, however, soon effected a perfect cure. My family use them con- 
stantly. There is no humbug about them ; they perform all they promise. 
Yours truly, James W. Husted. 
There are many men whose tongues might govern multitudes if they 
could govern their tongues. 
The doctors ought to escape calumny. No man living has a right to 
speak ill of them. 
DIPHTHERIA CURED. 
Sing Sing, N. Y., April 2, 1878. 
B. Brandreth, M.D. 
Dear Sir,—Diphtheria is and has been quite prevalent. I see every week 
some one publishes a remedy for this severe disease. I, too, deem it my 
duty to tell how I was cured, and my remedy. A year ago I was attacked 
with Malignant Diphtheria, my strength departed, a violent fever came after a 
severe chill, together with white deposits on my throat. I could hardly walk, 
and the veins of my arms, legs and fingers became black. This, I was told, 
was a bad symptom. I determined to employ no doctor, but to trust to 
Brandreth’s Pills. I took, the second day after my attack, eight Pills, the 
third day eight more. As my throat appeared closing, I made a gargle of 
one drachm tannin, two drachms chlorate of potash, which I mixed with a 
tumbler of water and used freely as a gargle. On the fourth day I began to im- 
prove, and taking Pills every day, or every other day, in ten days I was well. 
My diet was strained oatmeal gruel in the morning, and towards afternoon 
I took more solid food. I am almost sure the Pills .saved my life ; I know 
they saved a doctor’s bill. Yours truly,

17 23randret7i’s Annual Calendar J'or 7879. 
We must, as a rule, expect no other good than what is the fruit of our 
own labor and self-denial. 
Two sweet little girls sat upon the sidewalk in front of the Post office, 
one of them nursing a large wax doll. Her companion asked, in tones of 
deep earnestness : 
“ Doos ’00 have much twouble wif ’oor baby ?” 
“Oh, doodness, yes,” was the reply, “she cwies mos’ all ’e time. She’s 
jes’ cwied an’ cwied ever since she was born. I’s jes’ discouraged, an’ I 
don’t fink I’ll ever born any more.” 
DYSENTERY CURED. 
Tremont, 24TH Ward, N. Y., March 18, 1878. 
B. Brandreth, M.D. 
My Dear Sir,—Your Pills undoubtedly saved my life. Some time ago I 
had a fearful dysentery, that rendered me so weak that I was reduced to skin 
and bone, and could hardly stand up. I had two doctors, but neither lau- 
danum nor opium, with which they dosed me, checked the disease or relieved 
my pain. Finally I got a box of Brandreth’s Pills and swallowed twelve. 
My wife declared I would kill myself, and hoped I would vomit them, as I 
did almost everything I took. But these Pills stayed down, and in three 
hours they acted fully, and I was much better. After taking some gruel I 
swallowed the other thirteen, and they too purged again in four hours, and 
I felt well. I rested Sunday, had a good appetite, and went to my work Mon- 
day perfectly well, and have remained so ever since. 
Hugh O’Neill. 
ANOTHER BACK STRAIGHTENED. 
529 West 29TH Street, New York City, 
March 10, 1878. 
B. Brandrf.th, M.D., President Porous Plaster Co. 
My Dear Sir,—Some time ago I accidentally fell from the loft of our 
stable, No. 151 West 29th Street, and struck very heavily across my back on 
the edge of the manger. I was badly hurt, and was carried home. Being 
too poor to get a doctor, I took a good dose (8) of your Pills. My back, how- 
ever, pained me fearfully, so I put on two of Allcock’s Porous Plasters. 
In an hour the pain ceased, but came on again when I attempted to walk. I 
therefore laid still, and felt very comfortable. The Plasters seemed to warm 
and draw the pain out. After the Pills acted I found I could move about a 
little ; still for several days I could do no work, but finally the fourth day I 
resumed my labors entirely cured, to the wonder of all my friends, who 
thought my spine was fatally injured. I kept the Plasters on for three weeks 
atterwards, to make a sure thing. Yours truly, John Denny.

19 flrandreth’s Annual Calendar for 1870- 
BRANDRETH'S CAPSICUM PLASTERS. 
These red pepper Plasters are a perfect substitute for hot water bags, 
mustard, cantharides, tinctures of capsicum, or liniments. They never blis- 
ter, scald, cause colds, or soil the clothing. They are invaluable as a 
counter-irritant or rubefacient. If your druggist has not got them, send to 
294 Canal Street, New York. 
Some Useful Information.—One thousand laths will cover seventy 
yards of surface, and eleven pounds of nails will put them on. 
A cord of stone, three bushels of lime, and a cubic yard of sand will lay 
one hundred cubic feet of wall. 
Eight bushels of good lime, sixteen bushels of sand, and one bushel of 
hair will make enough good mortar to plaster one hundred square yards. 
One thousand shingles, laid four inches to the weather, will cover one 
hundred square feet of surface, and five pounds of shingle nails will fasten 
them on. 
One-fifth more siding and flooring is needed than the number of square 
feet of surface to be covered, because of the lap in the siding and matching of 
the floor. 
Five courses of brick will lay one foot in height on a chimney ; six bricks 
in a course will make a flue eight inches wide and twelve inches long, and 
eight bricks in a course will make a flue eight inches wide and sixteen 
inches long. 
New York, March 18th, 1878 
B. Brandreth, M.D. 
My Dear Doctor,—I travelled all over South America taking photographs. 
As a second string to my bow I carried a stock of your wonderful Pills. In 
the course of two years I sold over thirty thousand boxes of Brandreth’s 
Pills, at from 50 cts. to $1 a box. 
I found the coffee planters always kept Brandreth’s Pills for their 
slaves, and invariably used them for their own ills. Your Pills cured me of 
a bad attack of yellow fever. I took only those Pills during my attack and 
brandy and water. I think them the best family medicine in the world. 
C. D. Fredericks, 
of C. D. Fredericks & Co., Photographers, 770 Broadway (9th St.) 
\ Some men of science have believed that Brandreth’s Pills add the 
motive power to elementary matter called the “ medical forces of nature,” by 
which all impurities are taken out of the blood. The man or woman who 
uses them is known by the clearness of his or her complexion and the health- 
fulness of their constitutions.

21 JSrandreth’s A.nntial Calendar for 7879. 
A Recent Interview.—His Holiness Pope Pio Nono was received by 
his illustrious predecessor St. Peter with a smile of cordial welcome. 
“ You have had a long and tranquil reign,” said the saint. “ I trust you 
have left the affairs of our holy Church in a flourishing condition on earth.” 
His Holiness assured St. Peter that the Catholic faith was more firmly 
rooted and grounded, and the influence of the Church never more firmly 
established than when he left Rome ; in fact, that Macaulay was right when 
he said that she would yet exist in undiminished vigor when that New Zeal- 
ander was making his celebrated sketch of the ruins of St. Paul. 
The saint looked pleased, and said to his Holiness, “ I am glad to hear 
so favorable an account of your spiritual reign ; was your temporal reign 
equally successful ?” 
“Not in all respects,” replied his Holiness ; still I left behind me about 
24,000,000 of money.” 
“ Indeed,” said St. Peter ; “ we touched no such sum as that in my day. 
To whom did you intrust such a vast hoard?" 
“ To the Rothschilds,” said his Holiness, hesitatingly. 
Something like a frown overspread the features of the saint. “ The Roth- 
schilds,” said he with deliberation ; “ are they not Jews?” 
“ I believe—that is to say—I think—yes—they are,” said his Holiness, 
with still greater hesitation. 
“And do you mean to tell me,” said the saint, sternly, “that you, the 
Vicar of Jesus Christ on earth, deposited the contributions of our holy 
Church with the descendants of those men who reviled, and spat upon, and 
cruelly put Him to death?” 
“ Well—ah !—yes ; I did.” 
“Why did you?” said the saint, sternly. “You should have had a power- 
ful reason.” 
“ I did have a very powerful one,” replied his Holiness. “ The truth is, 
St. Peter, I did not know any Christians whom I was willing to trust with so 
much money.” 
HOW TO CURE RHEUMATISM. 
No. 105 Fulton Street, Brooklyn, Jan. 28, 1878. 
B. Brandreth, M.D. 
Dear Sir,—Reading in one of your almanacs the effect of your Pills on 
persons afflicted with rheumatism, I am rather surprised that you advise as 
many as six Pills as a dose. My experience with them as curatives for that 
disease is that one Pill per night is quite sufficient, and then only for a very 
few nights. I can testify to their wonder-working capabilities ; for until I 
commenced using them I was a real martyr to rheumatism, frequently being 
compelled to keep my bed for a month at a time. I speak of two years ago. 
No trouble worth mentioning since. 
I am, respectfully, H. W. Clinton.

23 Brandreth’s Annual Calendar for 7879. 
MILK LEG CURED. 
Longtown, Panola City, Miss., Feb. 23d, 1878. 
B. Brandreth, M.D. 
Dear Sir,—I want to give you my testimony in behalf of your valuable 
Pills. I had been laboring with a disease my physician called milk leg for 
more than a year, and my health became bad—much of the time could not get 
about at all, and at times was almost helpless. My physician recommended 
bandaging, which I did for some considerable time, but was not relieved. 
A friend prevailed on me to try your Pills, which I did. She also wanted 
me to try the Allcock’s Porous Plaster, but fearing that would bring on 
erysipelas, was afraid to use them ; but eventually I gave them a trial, and laid 
aside the bandages, and have never bandaged it since. I know your Pills 
and Plasters were of more benefit to me than all the medicine and bandag- 
ing that had been used. 
Yours very respectfully, Mrs. E. Patterson. 
ANOTHER TUMOR. 
Hulberton, Orleans Co., N. Y., March 7th, 1878. 
B. Brandreth, M.D. 
Dear Sir,—I received the Pills in due time, and they deserve all the 
praise I can give them. I am decidedly better. The tumor is less in 
size, and I do not vomit after eating any more. In fact, I am almost well. I 
wish to continue the use of the Pills, so please send me a dollar’s worth as 
soon as you can, as I have but one box left. I enclose one dollar. Hoping 
I may be cured, I remain with gratitude, 
Your friend, Mrs. S. M. Ford. 
PNEUMONIA CURED. 
Sing Sing, N. Y., May 7, 1878. 
B. Brandreth, M.D. 
My Dear Sir,—Your invaluable Pills and Allcock’s Porous Plasters 
have been of the greatest service to me. A month ago I had a bad attack of 
Pneumonia. I immediately took eight Brandreth’s Pills and -.vent to bed. 
I could hardly breathe, and had violent pains in both sides and back. After the 
Pills operated I found myself weak, but knew I had acted right, as my body 
was free from impurities, and nature would have a fair chance. As my pains 
were very bad, I put on four Allcock’s Porous Plasters, one on each breast 
and one on each side. I left them on for twenty-four hours and then re- 
newed them. After they had been on six hours I felt much easier and con- 
tinued to improve. The second day my fever abated and I changed my 
Plasters for fresh ones. In a few days I was well and about my business.

BAD COUGH CURED. 
Ocean House, Point Pleasant, Squan, N. J., Aug. 29, 1877. 
My Dear Sir,—I always make a point to keep Brandreth’s Pills and 
Allcock’s Plasters on hand, for the use of myself and guests of the house. 
They save a medicine chest. > 
During the past summer I have made two astonishing cures with 
Allcock’s Plasters. 
The first was a Mrs. Todington, of Philadelphia, who was troubled with 
an incessant cough, day and night. Nothing appeared to relieve her, so she 
was at last persuaded to apply an Allcock’s Porous Plaster to the chest just 
below the throat; as she complained of a pain in the back, another Plaster was 
applied just below the nape of the neck. To the astonishment of every one 
she ceased coughing in half an hour, and until she left she had no more 
trouble. 
The other case was a Mr. Raymond, of Brooklyn, who suffered pains in 
the region of the kidneys. He could hardly move ; I could do nothing to re- 
lieve him, so I put on two of Allcock’s Porous Plasters. In two hours he 
was entirely well ; he continued, however, to use the Plasters for some time. 
I use them constantly myself for a weak spine, sometimes using three 
at a time. They never fail. I also use them with wonderful effect in case of 
cold, pain in my chest, and neuralgia. Respectfully, 
Thos. S. Hulit, late Sheriff of Ocean County, N. J. 
B. Brandreth, M. D., President Porous Plaster Co. 
A New Cereal Discovered.—We have been shown a new grain, discov- 
ered about four years ago by a farmer in Surprise Valley, in the northern part 
of California, taken from the crop of a wild goose which had been shot by the 
farmer. He sowed the seed immediately after it was taken from the garner 
of the bird’s crop, and it produced more than a hundredfold. Mr. Merithew, 
a farmer of this county, being on a visit to Surprise Valley, obtained some few 
seeds of the new grain, and succeeded in propagating it with wonderful suc- 
cess on his farm in Butte county. The straw and beardless head resemble 
wheat ; the grain looks a little like rye, but is twice as large as rye. When 
cut as it is passing into the milk it makes a hay even superior to wheat hay. 
Mr. Merithew has on hand several tons of hay from this new variety of grain, 
and perhaps five bushels of its seed. He gave about two quarts of the seed 
to one of our citizens lately visiting Butte county, who was struck with the 
wonderful beauty of this new cereal, and brought it to Southern California 
for propagation. Thomas R. Bard has taken the seed and proposes to give 
it a thorough test upon the rich alluvial lands of the Colonia Rancho, near 
the seashore. It could not have fallen into the hands of a more intelligent 
and painstaking cultivator. It appears to us every way superior to rye, and 
may prove to be of great utility, as it is a fine grower and very productive.

A CHEAP MEDICINE. 
One Brandreth Pill moves the bowels ; two remove costiveness; 
three and four cleanse the system of many persons. Cents ! 
What Five Did.—A great lawyer of New York was on an ocean steamer 
four days out, when a passenger was said to be dying from stoppage of the 
bowels. The lawyer went to the doctor at once, who confirmed the news. 
“ Have you given Brandreth’s Pills ?” 
“ No.” 
“ May I ?” 
“ Certainly.” 
He gave the patient five ; in two hours’ time the patient’s life was saved, 
Land all the passengers and crew were converted into the belief of the efficacy 
Brandreth’s Pills, which have never failed in these extreme cases. 
The production of corn can be increased ioo per cent, by covering the 
corn with glue and rolling it successively in lime, guano, etc., and then 
planting it. This was tested by a farmer, and it was found to do just what 
was claimed for it. 
THICKENING OF THE STOMACH CAUSES DYSPEPSIA AND DEATH. 
A man at Albany, Vt., who had been a sufferer from dyspepsia for 
twenty years, died last week, and some peculiar circumstances in his case 
led to a post mortem examination. This revealed in the lower end of the 
stomach thirteen well preserved cherry stones, so imbedded in the lining of 
the stomach as not to be discoverable to the eye. and causing a thickening of 
the stomach case some three-fourths of an inch. These stones had worn a 
hole through the stomach, and death was caused by dropsy, or drowning. It 
was the opinion of the physicians that these stones had been there for many 
years. 
The above case of thickening of the stomach from cherry stones reminds 
me of a case where a man had been sick for a long time with dyspepsia, 
whose doctors said nothing could save him. He came to me for advice. I 
recommended him Brandreth’s Piu.s ; to begin with one, and increase one 
each day to eight pills, and gradually reduce by a Pill a day to one Pill, and 
so continue for at least two months, or until a change took place. At the 
end of the first month he came to see me, looking greatly better, and said 
that the last time he reached eight Pills going to bed. About four in the 
morning the pills operated strongly, and brought away a quantity of the skins 
of gooseberries ; he said he did not remember eating any for years. After the 
riddance of these skins he got perfectly well ; and there is no doubt that if 
this Vermonter had taken Brandreth’s Pills with the necessary persever- 
ance, he, too, would have been living at this writing.

CURE OF A LAME KNEE. 
Major Robert W. Bard, of the 29th New York Volunteers, was badly 
wounded at the battle of Gettysburg. A rifle ball entered his leg near the 
knee and passed upward towards the hip. The bullet was never extracted, 
and from time to time Major Bard becomes very lame and suffers greatly. 
The following extract from a letter tells its own story: 
“ Norwalk, Fla., May 6, 1878. 
My Dear Aunt,—The crutches arrived safely and promptly ; Allcock’s 
Porous Plasters also. I am much obliged to the Doctor. My wife coaxed 
me to try one on my knee ; so I did, cut into strips, and put them on above 
and below the knee-joint. I was astonished to find what a help they were ; 
they strengthened the knee so that I was able to walk with a cane, and in a 
few days laid that aside. Shall continue to wear them in preference to cane 
or crutches. Robert W. Bard.” 
Sow good thoughts and you will reap good actions. 
Does your sister Annie ever say anything about me, sissy?” asked an 
anxious lover of a little girl. “Yes,” was the reply; “she said if you had 
rockers on your shoes they’d make a nice cradle for my doll.” 
PALPITATION OF THE HEART CURED. 
435 West 24TH Street, New York, Oct. 20, 1877. 
B. Brandreth, M.D. 
Dear Sir,—I came to this country over a year ago. On the voyage I got very 
wet, and for six months I was very ill. My blood appeared to turn to water, 
and my skin and lips were of a deadly pallor. I had violent palpitation of the 
heart, and such shortness of breath that I could hardly walk up stairs. After 
trying different remedies I commenced using Brandreth’s Pills. I felt 
much better after the first dose. I continued to take them three times a week, 
ajid in two months got entirely well and perfectly regular, without pain or 
inconvenience. Respectfully yours, Bridget McCabe. 
A very little boy had one day done wrong and he was sent, after pater- 
nal correction, to ask in secret the forgiveness of his Heavenly Father. His 
offence was passion. Anxious to hear what he would say, his mother fol- 
lowed to the door of the room. In lisping accents she heard him ask to be 
made better ; and then, with childlike simplicity, he added, “ Lord, make 
ma’s temper better, too.”

INFLAMMATION OF BLADDER CURED. 
Hornellsville, June 15, 1877. 
Will you please write me how much Allcock’s Porous Plasters are by the 
yard or piece. My husband and I have used in the past three years over fifty 
of your Plasters. I could not live without them. I wear two or more of them 
all the time. When I commenced the use of them I was not able to sit up at 
all with inflammation of the bladder and kidneys. I had tried everything, but 
never found relief until I applied the Plasters. It is very expensive for us 
to get them by the piece at 25 cents, and often a waste in cutting them to 
apply. I will enclose a postal card. If you will please inform me you will 
greatly oblige Mrs. S. Highland. 
For a great many hundred years to take interest for money loaned was 
regarded as a great crime. Pope Clement V declared that “ if any one shall 
pertinaciously presume to affirm that the taking of interest for money is not 
a sin, we decree him to be a heretic fit for punishment.” In the ninth cen- 
tury Alfred, in England, confiscated the estates of money lenders and denied 
them burial in consecrated ground. Even in ancient Greece Aristotle con- 
demned the practice, and in Rome it was regarded as a crime. Luther got 
heated whenever he spoke on this subject, and did not stop to choose his 
words. He said : “ To exchange anything with any one and gain by the ex- 
change is not to do a charity, but to steal. Every usurer is a thief worthy 
ipf the gibbet. I call those usurers who lend money at five or six per cent.” 
LETTER FROM N. H. BAKER, DISTRICT ATTORNEY FOR WEST- 
CHESTER CO. 
District Attorney’s Office, 
White Plains, Westchester Co., N. Y., April 2, 1878. 
My Dear Doctor,—I have used Brandreth’s Pills myself and in my family 
for the last eighteen years. I have found them the best blood purifiers in 
the world. Their use makes the complexion clear and healthy. I am pre- 
disposed to rheumatism ; at the first symptoms one or two doses of your 
Pills always cure me. I have also found them very useful for bilious head- 
ache, and can recommend them as a most valuable family medicine. 
Yours truly, Nelson H. Baker. 
Hon. B. Brandreth. 
To Purify Water.—A lump of alum attached to a string and swung 
around a few times slowly through a pitcher of water will cause the sediment 
to fall to the bottom in a few minutes. This neutral sulphate of alumina 
makes lime water perfectly pure, destroying at the same time all organic 
compounds. Almost all water has lime in it. 
29 jBrandreth’s Annual Calendar for 7879. 
YELLOW FEVER CURED. 
A gentleman, with whom I am well acquainted, writes as follows: 
“ In 1838, at New Orleans, at the St. Charles Hotel, while at table taking 
dinner, before the soup was removed, I was taken with dizziness, dimness 
of sight, and confusion of ideas—in short, all the symptoms of yellow fever, 
though well five minutes before. I asked a waiter to lead me up to my 
room, for the confusion of mind and dizziness was so great that I could 
never have found the way alone. When there I took eight Brandreth’s 
Pills and laid down. I was delirious, but in four hours the Pills began to 
work, and my mind was clear enough to know my danger. Bleeding was 
recommended. ‘Do you think,’said I to the doctor, * I want depleting?’ 
1 Your life is not safe without it,’ was the reply. ‘ Then I will take eight more 
Brandreth’s Pills.’ These on the top of the first eight, with plenty of In- 
dian meal gruel, carried me out of all danger, and half a dozen medium 
doses cured me entirely in less than a week. Those who want to be safe 
should take a few doses of Pills as a preventive.” 
PERFECT CURE OF NEURALGIA. 
Exchange Bank, Minooka, III, May 12, 1873. 
B. Brandreth, M.D., President Porous Plaster Co. 
Dear Sir,—I lost a leg in the late war, since which, until a year ago, I 
have suffered greatly from neuralgia in my stump. A year ago I began 
using your Allcock’s Porous Plaster on the stump. I wear one constantly, 
and have no neuralgia. I write this thinking it may benefit some poor un- 
fortunate that has suffered as I have done. 
Daniel Ferguson. 
Long Lake, Hamilton County, N. Y., 
May 24th, 1878. 
B. Brandreth, M.D. 
Dear Sir,—Four years ago I was as helpless as a babe, and very sick, but 
by the use of your Pills my life has been renewed. My disease was rheu- 
matic gout ; for two years and eight months I was unable to walk, my hus- 
band carrying me about like a child ; he could easily do it, as I became 
reduced to skin and bone, and suffered frightfully. I tried several medicines 
without doing me any good ; so I dropped them all, and took Brandreth’s 
Pills regularly every day or every other day for over two months. I also 
applied Allcock’s Porous Plasters to my joints where the pain was most 
severe. To my great delight I got entirely well, and now I can walk half 
a mile or more, and do all my housework. I think Brandreth’s Pills 
the best medicine we ever had in our house. 
Yours truly, Rachel Hough.

Soap.—A young lady who makes all the family soap gives the following 
recipe for a good cheap article : Add to ten quarts of water six pounds of 
quick lime (shell lime is best) and six pounds of common washing soda. Put 
altogether and boil for half an hour, and let it stand all night to clear. Draw 
off the lye and add to it one pound of common resin and seven pounds of 
fat (any fat will do). Boil this for half an hour, and let it stand till cool, and 
cut into bars. 
HYPOCHONDRIA CURED. 
West Creek, N. J., Oct. 1, 1877. 
B. Brandreth, M.D. 
My Dear Sir,—For several summers I have been afflicted with vertigo, 
fainting-fits, violent palpitation of the heart, and constipation. I lost all 
color, and was very miserable. During the past summer I was induced to 
take your valuable Pills. They acted like magic, and made a perfect cure, 
and am now entirely well. 
Respectfully yours, Lavinia Hankins. 
Two Irishmen were proceeding in company to a jail yard to witness an 
execution, when one said to the other— 
“ I say, Pat, where wud yez be if the hangman had his dues?” 
“ Begorra,” said Pat, “ I’d jist be walkin’ down this sthreet alone.” 
SCIATICA CURED. 
Life Saving Station, Head of Barnegat Inlet, N. J., 
Nov. 14, 1877. 
B. Brandreth, M. D., President Porous Plaster Co. 
I was in the army until the close of the war ; when discharged I found 
myself troubled with a dreadful pain in my hip and thigh. At times it was 
so severe that I could not walk. It troubled me fearfully at night. I tried 
liniments, different kinds of plasters, and several doctors, but it was no use. 
I calculated the pain would last my life, when one day I heard of Allcock’s 
Porous Plasters. I put one on my hip-joint, and in two hours the pain 
was gone. How good I felt ! how I slept! I wore it two weeks and took 
it off, and have had no pain since. 
Yours truly* Riley Johnson. 
Dean Swift proposed to tax female beauty, and to leave every lady to 
rate her own charms. He said the tax would be cheerfully paid, and be very 
productive. Fontenelle daintily compliments the sex when he compares 
women to clocks—“ the latter serve to point out the hours, and the former 
to make us forget them.”

WHOOPING COUGH. 
This disease can easily be cured in six days, by an infusion of sweet 
chestnut leaves and taking a few doses of Brandreth’s Pills. 
To an ounce and a half of green chestnut leaves add a pint of boiling 
water ; when cool, strain and sweeten to taste. This may be taken five or six 
times a day, half a teacupful at a time. Dry leaves will do when green can- 
not be procured. An ounce to the pint of boiling water makes a good tea. 
Any spasmodic cough is also cured by the above remedy, including, of course, 
the use of Brandreth’s Pills. 
Coal Ashes and Curculio.—I have for several years saved my plums 
from the ravages of the curculio by the use of coal ashes. They become so 
completely disgusted with it that they leave for other parts. Just so soon 
as the blossoms fall I commence with my ashes. I take a bucket full of the 
ashes under my arm, and with the other hand I dash the ashes all over and 
through the trees, covering the plums completely with ashes, and go round 
every few days and give them another dose. If the rain washes it off I renew 
the dose and keep at it until my plums are ripe, when I am well paid for my 
trouble. I had, this year, eight bushels on seven small trees, which I sold 
for thirty-two dollars. 
Cold Spring, Putnam County, N. Y., March io, 1878. 
My Dear Sir,—For three years I have been grievously afflicted with the 
standing American complaints, dyspepsia and rheumatism. The dyspepsia 
gave me an awful pain in my side, and the rheumatism troubled me in my 
back and limbs—while my complexion was yellow as gold from diseased 
liver. I could get no strength, for everything I ate either soured on my stom- 
ach or was vomited. In this miserable condition I abandoned the regular 
physicians, who had done me no good, and commenced with your Pills. I 
began with two, and increased one each day until I took as high as seven. 
The first three doses griped so much I was about to give them up, but my 
wife made me go on. Every dose made me feel better and stronger, because 
I was able to eat and digest my soup and gruel, toast and tea. At the end 
of three weeks the pains in my side and back and limbs suddenly left me. 
All stiffness and pain was gone. Now I am well and hearty—never felt better 
in my life. My complexion is also clear. Yours truly,

“ Oh, dar’s no puzzle ’bout dat. It’s like dat poker ; I puts it in de fire 
and it gets red hot. Now, de poker’s in de fire, and de fire’s in de poker.”
