TRUTH AKIN TO NATuRE.-Haue uo,

TRUTH AhlN 10 NATURE.-Have you
pain! Be thankful. 1t is vigorous effort of Nature
TO throw off morbfic matter. From what may the
morblhc matter arise? From bruise, unwholesome
air which has become mixed with the blood, not ncor-
porated n it, but which is liable to faint the whole mass,
if not speedily removed. Or the pain may arise from
bile which has become bad rancid, putrd, in conse
quence OF the want of power in the proper organs
discharge it. This pain which so fehtens people, is
only the symptoms of the efforts OF Nature, for the
vital principle of the blood expel the pecan or i'm.
pure matter which would otherwise destroy the human
fabric All diseases are of the solids or fluids or both.
When we have pain in our head, in our foot in our
throat or in our back bowels, let but be satisfied
that it is produced by the efforts of blood to throw
oft morblfc matter; and if this be so, if we but
believe and understand this, our cure will be easy and
generally sure For our course will then be to help Ma
ture to throw Oft the morbid matter, to take away
the blood. For the BLOOD every drop have is re-
quned to insure ultimate health to the body We must
not lose drop-neither must we any medicines in
ernaly which not perfectly harmless, if applied
externally to the body. So we must not any of the
preparations OF mercury, neither must any ve-
getable medicine of corrosive power.
In order to dscrm mate between truth, which is eer-
nal and conjecture, which is like transient vision,
must be guided by the light of experience. To what
does experience direct! To the free use of DR. BRAN
DRETH'S PILLS in all cases of bodily suf-
ierlng. AS this advice is followed, so will the health
OF the body be. The writer has long used them and
has never found them fail ofmparng relief In all acute
diseases let Brandeth Pills and mild diet be used and
the patient will soon be restored good health In
chronic complaints let the Pills be used as often as con-
venient, by which means the vitality of the blood will
be generally brought about the disease being changed
TO acute, a few large doses of Pills and few days
confinement tc the house will change the chron-
icaIy diseased individual to sound man. This
is no figure OF the imagination: it can be proved by
thousand matter OF fact who have experienced it.
Remember in all cases of disease, no matter whether
it be a cold or cough, whether it be rheumatism
pleurisy; whether be ypus fever and ague or bill
llous fever cramp or whoopng cough measles; weh-
er be scarlet fever or small pox: that the Pills
known as Brandrehs Pills will surely do more than all
the medicines Of the Drug for your restoration
to health, and what is more, will surely do you no
harm.
