the cure of every malady incident to each peculiar

When we wish to restore swamp or morass to
fertility, we drain it of the superabundant waters !;

health, we must cleanse it of impurty
Wa1ghfs Indian Vegetable Pills
will be found one of the best, if not the ue,y best
medicine in the worid for carrying out this
Grand Purifying Principle,
because they expel from the body all morbid and
corrupt humors, the cause of disease, in an easy
and natural manner; ; and while they every day
