From Arnold Bunum, the PhIlanthroPlst
DR.. Brandreth, my dear friend, if to be gooc
and to DO good is the highest duty Of man; unc
if to do good is the best evidence a man car
give that he is good, then / feel bound to ad.
dress thee as one who has come up to the mari
of mans destiny.
As testimony tnet this Is not vain fiattery
give the following brief sketch of my own ex-
perience: -..
When l was twenty years old, | was very
sick for about two months with what my physi-
clan called "Slow Fever,r during which time !
took much medicine; from that time for 81
years. was very often sick and under the care
Of a physician. About twelve years ago had
a very severe attack Of InHammatory Rheu-
matism, during which l was attended by DR..
Moore, Of Philadelphia. then regardad my
self as an old man with broken constitution,
swiftly descending to the grave, Soon after
wards, however, i purchased a box of Bran
dreths pills, and finding them on trial, TO be
more effeetual in removing disease, than any
medicine ! had ever tried before, repIenish-
ed my supply from time to time, as occasion
required. Since that time have spent three
years in the Western Country, where / was
very much exposed to vicissitudes likely to
produce disease; twice have crossed the At
lantic Ocean, and have nov spent the last four
years in an Office in this sickly city. Once
while travelling in the West. was taken sud-
dedly very i'll, the friend at whose house stop
ped called in physician, who made very
careful examination of my case. and then pro-
posed to commence process which he stated
would so reduce my system as to confne me to
the house forat least six weeks, but declined
his prescriptions, took a dose Of Brandreth's
Pills, called the next day and paid the physi-
clan for bis visit. and pursued my travel, and
this is the only instance of my being visited
BY physician since purchased the first box of
Brandreth's Pills IL years ago.
My health is now vastly setter than It had
been for 81 years before commenced the use
oftbese Pills. They have been my constant
companion wherever have been, by land or
by sea, and my only medicine; am now
ten pounds heavier than / was before used
them; when take cold now, / have no
cough, and attribute all this change, under
God, to the substitution of Brandrethis Pills,
for the frequent bleeding and the calomel dos
ing to which was before subjected. My wife,
too, by the same means enjoys the same unin-
terrupted good health. Our Doctors bill Eof
both Of US, have not amounted to 1--WE dollars in
twelve years. When we find our health i'm
paired from any cause, we take dose of Bran
dreth's Pills, and the difficulty is removed,
and judging from my own experience, believe
if every family should adopt the same practice,
the health and the longevity Of the communi-
ty would be greatly promoted. s..
Most respectfully thy friend, "a
