BRANDRETH'S PILLS,

LNEVER AND AGUE, AND ALL FEvERS CUR
Il ED BY BRANDRETH'S PILLS.-All fevers are
occasoned by the disordered motion Of the blood pro-
duced by the Immoral scrosty by hardening the valves
OF the vessels. The blood circuates with greatly in
creased speed and is still increased by the friction of
the gobu)es, particles which compose the mass Of
fluids Then it is that the excessive heat and chills is
experienced throughout the whole system, and accom-
panied with great Thirst, pain in the head back kid
neys, and in fact complete prosraon Of all the facu
ties OF the mind as well body.
On the first attack of fever any disease, immediate
ly take large dose of Brandreths Vegetable Universal
Pills, and continue TO keep up powerful effect upon the
bowels until the fever or pain has entirely ceased Six
or eight will in most cases be sufficient as first dose
and Que dose OF this kind it is not improbable may pre-
vent months Of sickness, perhaps death.
DR.. Benz Brandrcth's Vegetable Universal Pills are
indeed universally approved medicine. which by its
peculiar action ceanses the blood of all impurities re
moves every pain and weakness, and finally Iestores the
constitution 70 perfect health and yigor.
