ALWAYS IMPROPER.

we can have too much Of this important and
most valuable fluid Do trees die from too great

say his Creator was wrong in not making

for PASSIONS sake.-Now a doctor cannot be bled
for every thing. The people are learning that
the blood is OF some use. Let us hope that the
distinguishing use OF leeches may also be aba

1 do not deny that when man is bled, "a portion
Of the seroSity or bad humor comes away with

FALLS, ACCIDENTS, &c. &c.

orin any accidents, from letting blood. Neither
internal nor external diseases can be benefited

save his life, cannot be sustained. | cannot ad-

good purpose, and relieve the circulation sooner
than bleeding, without the after weakning effect.
A shock has the same effect, in measure, upon
the body, that lightning produces upon tilt

gone-was all destroyed by the shock, by great
er affinity that the lightning had, the earth, or
the thing the body was upon-had for the life of
the blood, than the blood itself had for retaining
it,which may be species of electricity for aught
we know 10 the contrary
In fifteen minutes Brandrett's Pills produce
effect after shock.
When persons who have had severe falls or
bruises, by which the ways ofthe circulation be-
came as it were loaded with refuse or wom-out
tissue or muscles, and dead blood, and which, if
not speedily removed, occasion such disturbance
in the body, that inflammation great pains, and fits
often result; Brandreth's Pills being administered
under these circumstances, in doses of six eight
or more, as may be required, will ordinarily oper
ate in Is or 20 minutes, while at other times a
similar dose would not operate under six eight
hours.
We that the best argument to use in
support oiblood letting, has been and is YET nspte
OF true reasoning, the great which may be at
once pronuced BY it. But il that after the
evacuation of blood. and the Immoral fluid, or,
we call II, the acrimonious serosy, discharges it,
self from its different cavities and then goes and fills
up that very vacuum often producing ncurable torpor
Truly man would be the most mise able creature in
existence could he only obtain reliefby losing the ia
Guilty of feeling No reasoning uil prevent some
persons from being sebuced by the dcceivng relief
which they feel after being bled. They do invara-

lieffor period Of twenty four hours they certainly
shorten their lives, and liable to become para
lyed for the sad remainder Of their existence.
The idea is, that pleading is a preventive against
future internal distractions and settings of humors
Common only is sufficient prve that in ORDER
prevent those internal accidents, YOU must begin
| by evacuaiIng those matters which might produce
| them. Now we know very well that that which
gives us life is not the occasion Of DEATH So
not the blood that does this but the corrupt humors
! remove them by purgation BY BRANDRETH's
Pills, and all the health you capable Of receiving
will surely be enjoyed and your sickness will seldom

CONSIDERATIONS FURTHER UPON
BLOOD-LETTING.
IL is very doubtful when a person has lost much 1
blood, If he can eujoy state of robust health again.
Because we entirely depend upon the quantity of !
blood, SIS well as its pureness, vigorous

purify the blood-nOt take il of tho body. You
mustremove all distractions to the evacuation Of it,

to be convinced Of the improperly Of the practice OF
of blood-lettng. IL is to be expected that our |
physicians will reform themselves Ii has never yet
been that any body Of men would Of their own accord
give up old practices. The reform must be 1

Of the seller whether he knows the pills he offers
