Trial and experience are the touch- stones of merit . From time to time all sorts of medicines have been put before the public , and the names of most of these are long forgotten , but Beecham's Pills , which have been in ever - increasing use among all classes of society for three generations , have a greater popularity to - day than ever . Over 6,000,000 boxes are sold annually . Think what these figures signify ! Could this remedy have so extraordinary a sale if it did not supply a real need , if it was not of genuine worth , if it did not perform what is promised ? A reliable preparation of the most efficacious and carefully selected ingredients of vegetable origin , these pills are of unequalled value for the relief and cure of those digestive irregularities which appear as bilious- ness , constipation , flatulence , failing appetite , dyspepsia , headache , and the depressed conditions of mind and body that accompany such disorders . When- ever you need a corrective medicine , as everyone does at times , you should take Beecham's Pills . Prepared only by Thomas Beecham , St. Helens , Lancashire .

It was cause it makes Lord Crewe once again eleven years ago , when he was midway in the forties , that the Secretary of State for Indis began to learn the art of being grandfather . He has now nine grandchildren , some of whom are older than the son of his second marriage , the Earl Madeley .
