AN Individual only wishes to know the RIGHT
WAY to pursue it; and there are none, were it
surely made known how LIFE might be prolong-
ed, and health recovered, who would not adopt
the plan Evidence is required, that the right way
is discovered. This is what those suffering from
sickness want to be satisfied about. For who so
foolish as not to enjoy all the health his body is
capable o! And who is there that would not live,
when his experience can so much benefit himself
and family! 1t is melancholy fact that very
large proportion OF the most useful members of
society die between the ages of thirty and forty.
How many widows and helpless orphans have
been the consequence Of mankind not having in
their OUn power the means of restoring health
when lost.
THE CAUSE OF DISEASE.
Now when we are afflicted with sickness. it ari-
seth from the NATURAL Powers OF the body
not having sufficient strength, in the Natural
Course Of the System, to expel those matters or
humors which have become useless, and whose
detention must produce injury to the organizm.
For instance. the pores are closed from checked
perspiration: in this case, what should have pass
ed out of the body by the pores of the skin, are
thrown back upon the blood; the blood thus clog
ged in its circulation, remedies the evil by throw
ing the impurities which should have passed by
the skin, upon the organs oi the stomach and bow.
els. Now il the stomach and bowels are very
healthy and strong, they expel the humors which
the checked perspiraton caused to be retained in
the body, and no harm is done. But, if the stom-
ach and bowels do not happen to be in this healthy
condtion-if, for nstanse, the bowels should be
| in costive or bound state, the matters of their
own, as well as those received from the occasion
of checked perspration, are again taken up BY the
blood; and this FLUID OF LIFE may be so impe-
ded as to produce Apoplexy or Paralysis; or it
may become quicker in its circulation, aud fever
be the result. II the lungs have been previously
affected, then inflammation Of the Lungs; if the
heart, then Aneurism, or some affection OF the
heart, or Angina Pectors; ii the brain has previ-
ously suffered, then Inflammation Of the brain. II

The Impurities which are striving to get out, bu

| Now all these dangers and difficulties can b.
prevented. and the long and certain sickness, b.
assisting NATURE in the OUTSET, with goot
dose OF the BRANDRETH PILLS. This is
fact. well understood to be so by thousands of oul
citizens. This medicine, if taken so as to purge
freely, will surely cure any durable disease. There
is form or kind of sickness that it does not ex
