Malignant Dysentery, or
Cholera.

ths Usleepy drug" In fact it would be only
an sxhibition of common sense If some OF the
Medical Faculty would try the average dose on
a strong, healthy man. l am OF the opinion
that II would be the last dose he would take--
However. we do know that the general ms
tory of cases Of cholera is this "He was al
I hieted with diarrhpa, on Thursday ms COM
rI.int was supposed to be thoroughly checked;
on Friday and Saturday be underwent eonsid-
erable fatigue; on Saturday night he was at
lacked with cholera or malignant dysentery
and died next morning." This is the history
with doctors, with divines, with civilians, and
with lavmen. Oiarrhea checked, cholera or
malignant dvsentery sets in, and death closes
the scene. And viii nothing warn, viii moth
ing induce a correct practice! II all die who
have the diarrh9a checked, will no physician
trv the other plan and report the facts? II
fbev were universally successful in saving their
patients with laudanum-the opposing nature,
the binding up Of disease in the body, instead
of expeIling it out-I say, if this treatment
was sometimes successful in saving life, to say
nothing of the constitution broken, yet, as
the cure was about as bad as the disease, L
should think that the purgative plan might be
tried. Surely medical men are not afraid oil
the patient being too soon cured for their pro-
fl! this will not comport with my idea of the
) general hishmindedness Of the profession
No! it is from ignorance and education that
they are opposed to purgation with the Bran
dreth Pills. For purgation with the ordinary
purgatives know win not cure dlarrh9a' out
Brandreth's Pills will, and | am willing to
submit them 10 any trial in the public hospl-
5 tails that NAV be desired, as | have often pub
: licIy declared, But physicians at these instl-
, tutions say, we will not use them, SIR, unless
YOU tell us of what they are made! IL IS ior
/ their valuable effects in curing disease. and
r their special value in cholera that l wish them
to be used, IS my reply. And IS 1t OF eonse-
> uuenee that what compose the Brandreth rus
e should be known! II you send a prescription
| to the apothecary, you never have two apothe-
1 carries who make use Of the same quality oil
! drugs, and in fact 50 much do drugs Of the same
] name differ in appearance, that 1t requires
great experience tn tell that they belong to the
same family. Brandreth's Pills are purely
= veseia bie; they are ten times more powerful,
T weight for weight, than calomel; they are, In
D fact, the most economical medicine IN the
world; for one pill, the cost Of which IS one
. cent. will purge some constitutions equal to an

: cine. 1t is to him who has small means, and
who has a young family depending upon hin
for support that their worth is evident. THOSE

are gone know Let the truth be spoker

n tives, use no medicine which evacuates thu
n bowels. And yet Mr.. T. was purged an'
! griped; he was almost in commissions; he tool
u four Brandreth Pills and drank plentifully o
: barley water, and he recovered next day. Mr.
G. was sick in the course of four months seve
raj times with all the worst symptoms Of in

n but Brandreth Pills and they cured him.

true that several cnses Of severe diarrhga hav'

have enjoyed themselves as well as us, had thel
: relied upon the Brandreth Pills.
S have THE strongest testimony Of their bene
d fetal effects in st. Louis, in Cincinnati, New
Orleans. and in Lower Sandusky. My agent
al the latter place was Obliged TO send an ex
u press 10 New York for Pills. and he states that
ne ''went 10 SanduskY city to administer the
Pills after the doctors had all left for othei
parts"
: have published what deemed strong evi
v denee Of their great curative qualities; il re
mains with the public to say what weight il
deserves. But that they remove The impuri
ties from the system by their occasional use
= which greatly lessons the liability to an attack
o OF 6iarrhea, is beyond doubt.
Costiveness NAV be considered the first symp-
h tom: diarrhpa with constant flying pains in
n / the bowels the next symptom; dysenfery with
>. constant seated pains. the Rext; and the
malignant form is present when these pains
become cramps. Now, these Brandreth Pills,
used in view of prevention, may save all the
z above trouble: they remove the costiveness,
] and If pains in the bowels continue, you use
emollient drinks, as Cruel, barley water, &C.
D Should diarrhGa set in, you still use the pills
once or twice day, drinking the same kind
of beverage; and the same course is to be fol-
3 lowed If the disease runs into dysentery either
before or after the pills have been taken; for
all that can be claimed for the pills is that they
will cure and generally prevent an attack; but
if the poison Of the malignant dysentery has
been already received into the system, then al
that we can do is to blunt its powers for evil.
This we can do; and pledge nv word. if the
= pills are used with ordinary discretion in any
> of these prevailing bowel disorders, the eommu-
! nifty will find it to their advantage.
