sICkLY SEASON.

There is not man, woman or child, but should
take medicine al this season of the year, but
more especially at this present time: for there
probably were never SO many causes existing as
there are now, so likely TO produce state OF sick
ness. The repeated changes in the atmosphere,
BY acting as they do upon the constitution, and
quality of the blood itself, give occasion fer
The most fatal and malignant disorders. The
bile becomes (and often without any warning,)
in most acrimonious condition from these re-
peated changes, and if the stomach and bowels
have been neglected previously, the first symp-
toms require immediate attention. Even those
who have healthy disposition Of body, are sub
lject to sickness under these circumstances
Therefore 70 prevent any danger, We ought care
fully to guard against G1stive state OF our bow
els. Once or twice they should be evacuated in
twenty four hours. There are many causes
which produce unhealthy blood: sometimes it
may arise from grief, at others when the system
is in state Of fullness II can take place from sud
den Joy close application to a literary undertake
| ing can produce it--in all cases where many
persons have to he seen and spoken To- which pro-
dueing nervous excitement is fertile source of
unhealthy blood occasioning that slow nervous
fever which has carried off some of our best men;
men martyrs to their reputation, but which d
knowledge of Brandreths Pills would have pre-
vented. Those who desire to secure their health,
under almost any adverse circumstances can
do so by having Brandreths Pills ON hand, and
at once resortng to them when the first feeling
of disorder takes place in their bodies. As this
advice is used SO will the health be- The time
will come when man that makes a good medi-
cine shall be honored more than he who is an
adept in the art of war.
