PICTURE OF HEALTH.

WH EALTH is chotcrised in an indiNid uslly
n n the absence Of Ill pain, suffering or affection
n any patt of his body; by the free and regular
rcisr of his functions without any exception.
They consist in having good appetite at meal
times, an easy digestion, free evacuations without
ooseress or costivencss at least in every twcn
ty-fuur hours, and without heatdiyuess, or burning
at the passage, the free issue OF the water without
ncrimony or burning, and without a reddish sedi.
ment which is always q sign of present or an ap.
proaching pain; quiet sleep without agitation or
ttuobesone dreams; no taste of bile or other bad
taste in the mouth upon rising in the morning; IN
sourncss or disagreeablc rising of the stomach: a
clean tongue; sweet breath; no itching, pmplcs or
spots on the skn 10 Piles no burning heat upon
any part of the body; no excessive thirst when I'm.
e> posed tp labor or other known causes no inter.
ruption to any natural evacuation nor pain at their
periodical return.
Where the state Of the system does not harmon.
ize with the above picture of health, it is of the
greatest Importance that no time be lost IN sending
for doctor, or in the use of foolish remedies loo
often the resutor speculation; instead of this course
te dose of BRANDRETH'S PILLS be taken,
which will not deceive, but will at once rcstole
health to the organ or part that requires ii.
All who wish to preserve their health, I'll who
are determined to defend their life against the en-
croachmcnts of disease which might send them pre-
maiurely to the grave win, without hesitation, have
recourse TO the Brandrcth Pills, when the state Of
the system does not harmonisc with the above pic
tme of health
Those who live in a country where contagious or
other diseases prevail, should often think Of tbi,
true picture ofhealh, and observe himself with par
ticular attention, in order to act accordingly The
wise and rightly drccicdwill follow this advice
