BRANDRETH'S PILLS, AND THE BODY,S
WASTE.--To those candid men who honestly doubt
the truth the Brandrehian System, would entreat
them to ponder well upon the following facts:
Inc food taken into the stomach is converted into
blood which vital stream flowing through all the ran-
hcatons OF the system, not only imparts strength and
connuates life, but actually creates forms and builds up
each and every part OF the animal machine If the
blood therefore is pure and healthy the body which is
termed and supported by the blood cannot be diseased
But lthere be in any part of the body any affection such
as bile ulcer, even bruse the blood circulating
through part takes impure matters from the local
affection and carries it into the general system. This
is the cause often ofsudden death persons of full bab
it, afflicted with biles, and who use no medicine
the matter gets into the circulating system and chokes
up the fine blood vessels which supply the brain viii
VITALITY and life ceases if beref by lightning Now
this can be remedied-the Brandreth Pills viii TnSed
at these times take out all impure matters from the cir
culaton, and the general health at the sauna tn,a
they are curing the local affections N'''0'
Oh how important tits to now find that this e,b;eo,
be we'll comprehended, it would save many from tedi
times of sickness and often secure their services
to their friends, when otherwise the tomb would have
its victim. ~
