One Disease or Many.

So, one of my opponents will leave 1t with the
slearned ia decide" whether there be more than
one cause fdisease Disease may be defined as the
opposite of health. What is health! 1t is the per
formance, regularly, of all the functions OF the bo-
dy, fully, and without pain. What is disease? ltis
,oant of Life in the part where the pain is felt, or
where the numbness or enlargement is situated
How do you know it is so! Look at that piece Of
meat, il is becoming putrid. What makes itputrds
II was not SO when forming part of living body.
No. Because then the life principle was able to
throw of particular matter which nuetralized the
atmospheric air, and instead OF producing disease
produced the breath of ife and 10 the cause of the
heat of the human body. Soa want of life in part,
10 disease in that part OF course 1t is. For how
could impure humors collect, It the powers OF
life were strong enough to throw them out with
out the aid ofmedlcine? The thing isimpossibls
But say some, how do you know that the powers
collected in any part of the body, without resort
ing to medicine! l answer to such, that it would
be like aiding man after he was crushed to
death with load, which we had the power to
take of his back before he was hurt; but we, like
hard. hearted wretches, wished to see whether he
could not get up without help, and when he is
dead we say oh! wish had helped him before.
This would be case of crime next to murder;
and it is not the less crime, that we kill our
selves by waiting until nature helps herself We
have the means in our hands 10 cure, without re.
ducing the life principle to its lowest ebb, but on
the contrary, every time we use Brandreths pills,
when we are sick, we are better and better, until
we are again restored to health. These pills sup.
ply that principle to the humane body which it
requires when the life principle is depressed by
disease, to guard it from the injurious effects Of
the atmosphere; and those who use them, nre sat.

can refer, if necessary, to many who will currob-
crate all have asserted, and especially to an old
gentleman eighty.three years old, who has taken
them the last seven years, and no other medicine,
and who, no one would suppose, to look at him,
was much over sixty. His life, as he assured me,

Then there is Mrs. Hooper's case, of Wareham.
Barnstable Co. Mass; for nearly twenty years she

.leman, who resides at Sherbrook, Canada, who tor
wenty years was sorely afflicted with disease,
which came out in blotches and scahs all over his
body. This gentleman 80 far forgot his preju.
iices, which too often curse his profession, as to
lppIy personally to Or. Brandret, and his course
,roved a happy one. Within six months he was
entirely cured OF his miserable and tormentng dis.

Let me assure all those who have not yet tried |

How important il is that this course should be |

To insure the full benefit of these celebrated
ills, they should be kept in the house, so that upon

dozen after disease has become established in the
