PRINCIPLE OF THE BLOOD.
READ AND UNDERSTAND.
THE PRINCIPLE OF LIFE, that subtle and
invisible principle which animates the human
frame, and whose seat in the blood is one OF the
most impenetrable secrets Of the Creator. We
cannot comprehend his principle, but we know
that it is in the blood, for if we DECREASE the
amount of blood in the body, we decrease the
PRINCIPLE OF LIFE: and that, If we draw all
the blood from the body, that lie ceases. So we
must believe what the Scriptures say on this SUBJ
ject, no one can doubt it. The life of the flesh is
EMPHATICALLY in the BLOOD!-There can
be no mistake upon this subject; so we must then
be also convinced that any thing which impedes
the circulation Of the blood must depress or bear
down the principle of Life, and make the body sub.
ect to receive injury from the principle of corrup-
tibility also implanted in the human frame. We
cannot deny it. There is in every created being
principle Of compatibility, as well as principle
of animation. II is when this corruptibility be-
comes to powerful for the LIFE PRINCIPLE or
Blood, that disease commences. II is not because
it does exist, but because it becomes ACTIVE; in
some il has taken an hundred years TO develope it.

and the child is sll.born. The constitution of the
child depends upon its parents; he receives from
them the principle OF his life, aud also that which
will ultimately destroy him, and when Of age, he
transmits them to his children. .a,.'.-,
Thus we see that in the same body is the princi-
pie of life and also of compatibility. And it is
only by due attention in some bodies that health
can be secured by artificial modes Of assisting the
functions Of life to throw of the occasional accu
mutations of corruptibility, which other wise would
overpower the principle of life. before the indiv.
dual had reached to the full period of his existence
according to the principle Of life within him. For,
in order that men should arrive at that period OF
life called old age. perfect balance must exist be-
tween The principle fle and the principle Of cor.
ruptibility. When the balance is in favour of the
principle OF life, we observe the energy of charac
ter with admiration. And have no doubt that
just in proportion the life principle predominates
is the energy both Of body and mind. BY the use
ofproper medicine this can always be secured un-
til good old age. l..,,-f t.E
The principle Of corruption is subject to the in
fluence of many causes Of vitation. Il is, there
fore, necessary that we be provided with ample
means to prevent injury from it; or in consequence
OF this visitation that pdtridy would be produc-
ed which would destroy the individual ere he had
arrived at the period of life which he would have
done from the principle of life which was in him.
Now, to accomplish this, we must prevent an accu-
mutation of those humors which bear down the
principle life. Do not wait for an attack ofsick
ness but on the first appearance of the enemy as
sist nature in her operations to expel him from the
body. This is the object always attained by those
who use BRANDRETH's Pills. Thousands who
have kept their beds fbr years have been restored
by this medicine. They are as harmless as piece
Of bread, yet all powerful for heremoval Of disease
whether chrome recent, infectious or otherwise.
By the use of Brandreth's Pills, the Blood s gradu-
ally purified, and becomes too strong for all i'm
pedmeDts 10 its free course, and thus the body is
