PICTURE OF HEALTH.

HE EAI,1H is characterised in an individual by
III n the absence of all pain, suffering or affection
IN any paIt of his body by thc free and regular cx.
crcise of his functions without any cxception.-
llhoy consist in having good appetite at meal
times, an easy digestion, free excavations, without
ooscress cosveness at least once in every txcn-
ty-four hours, and without hcatdyness or burning
at the passage, the free issue of the water without
acrinony or burning, and without a reddish scdi.
mcnt which is always sign of present or an APP
proaching pain; quiet sleep without agitation or
truoblesome dreamS no taste Of bile other bad
taste in the mouth upon rising in the morning; no
sourncss or dsagreeahc rising of the stomach; a
clean tongue; sweet breath; no itching pimples or
spots on the skin; no piles; no burning heat upon
any part of the body; no excessive thirst when un-
exposed to labor or other known cause; no inter-
rupon to any natural evacuation, nor pain at their
periodical return.
Where the state of the system docs not harmon
ze with the above picture of health, il is of the
greatest Importance that no timu be lost IN sending
for doctor, or in the of foolish remedies too
often the result of speculation instead of this course
te dose of BRANDRETH'S PILLS be taken,
which will not deceive, but will at once restoic
health to the organ or part that requires it,
All who wish To preserve their health, all who
are determined to defend their life against the en-
croachments of disease which might send them pre-
mauroy to the grave, will, without hcsitaton have
recourse TO the Brandreth Pills. when the state of
the system does not harmonise with the above pic
tuie of health.
Those who live in a country where contagious or
other diseases prevail, should often think of this
true picture ofheath, and observe himself with par
hcuar attention, in order to act accordingly, The
wise and rightly directed will follow this advice
the unwise are left TO their own destruction.
