From ArnoId Buaum, the PhIIanthropIst

DR.. Brandreth, my dear friend, ifto be good
and to DO good is the highest duty ofman; and
il to do good is the best evidence a man can
give that he is good, then i feel bound to ad-
dress thee as one who has come up to the mark
Of mans destiny.
As n testimony that this Is not vain hattery,
I give the following brief sketch fmy owI ex-
perience:
When | was twenty years old, | was very
sick for about two months with what my physi-
clan called 'Slnw Fever" during which time
took much medicine; from that time for 81
years, was very often sick and under the care
Of physician. About twelve years ago had
a very severe attack of Infiammatory Rheu-
mntism, during which | was attended by DIR.
| Moore, Of Philadelphia. l then regarded my
self as an old man with broken constitution,
swiftly descending to the grave. Soon after
wards however, | purchased box If Bran
dreths pills, and finding them on trial, to be
more effeetual in Temuving disease, than any
medicine had ever tried before, replenish-
ed my supply from time TO time, as occasion
required. Since that time have spent three
/ wears in the Western Country, where | was
/ yery much exposed to vicissitudes likely to
produce disease; twice j have crossed the At
/ lantic Ocean, and have now spent the last four
years in an Office in this sickly city. Once
while travelling in the West. was taken sud-
dedIy very i'll, the friend a whose house Istop-
ped called in physician, who made very
careful examination of my case. and then pro-
| posed TO commence process whisn he stated
! would 50 reduce my system as 10 confne me to
the house for at least six weeks, but declined
his prescriptions, took dose Of Brandreth's
1 Pills, called the next day and paid the physi-
clan for his visit, and pursued my travel, aud
/ this is the only instance Of my being visited
/ by physician since purchased the first box Of
I Brandreth's Pills IL years ago.
NV health is now vastly better than IL har
I been for "a years before | commenced tie use
I of these 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 a cold now, | have no
cough, and attribute all this change, under
God, TO the substitution Of Brandreth's Pills,
I for the frequent bleeding and the calomel dos
/ ing 10 which was before subjected. My wife,
/ too, by the same means enjoys the same unin-
I terrupted good health. Our Doctors bill for
] both OF US, have not amounted TO eve dollars in
I twelve years. When we find our health i'm
paired from any cause, we take a dose Of Bran
dreth's Pills, and the difficulty Is removed,
and Judging from my own experience, believe
II every Iaiiiy snou'u auOP, TUG seiAAS f'N''N
the health aud the longevity Of the eommuni-
ty would be greatly promoted.
Most respectfully thy friend,
ARNOLD BUFFUM.
