| PHILOSOPHY OF ANDRErH'S VEGE.-
| TABLE PlLLS.-When the theory OF the circula-
ton of the blood established the secret springs OF
vitality were then partially exposed to view We
saw and understood that the food we eat was con-
verted into blood, which repaired the of the ami
NAL machine; the food is fuel which keeps at a life
| heat the internal fires that and invigorate the
inner man. The blood is an electric fluid which
res this heat to every ramication OF the body to
the extremities of the hair and horny nail While the
blood is thus the seat OF life it is also the OF dis
ease. Food gives the body strength; Brandrehs Pills
give blood the necessary power throw out from itself
all impurities, thus rendering the stream Of lie pure and
healthy. Ii men were more sincere, there would
be fewer religious creeds and if they kept closer
natures laws in the management oftheir bodies, they
| would require little medicine. As grow in
tegen they will become wiser and happier; even now,
their wisdom is proved by the fact that when sickness
assais them, they use Brandreths Vegetable Universal
Fills, which soon restores them to health
They are peculiarly adapted to this climate, and re-
que no extra care when they used, either in diet
clothing. They should be always in the house, so that
upon the first indication Of sickness they may be used
One dose IN the beginning is potent for good than
dozen after the sickness is fixed in the system. In
colds coughs asthma, rheumatism, costiveness evers
and in ACUTE heavy deep seated palms, their effects
will be found beyond all praise Three five will &C
like charm often curing a dangerous malady at once
saving months OF sickness and the evils thereto attend
ing. Remember, Brandreths Pills are known and
fully tested medicine, one that is used by hundreds OF
thousands in this country, and throughout the civilized
world. They are quietly superceding all other medi-
cines. They take out only that from the blood which
is the of weakness and pain, leaving health and
strength they produce healthy sleep at night, and
appetite that relshes all kinds Of food. Sold at DR..
