From Arnold BuGnn, the PhIIanthroPIss.
Or. Brandreth, my dear friend, Ifto be good
and to DO good is the highest duty of man and
If to do coed is the best evidence man can
give that he is good, then feel bound to ad-
dress thee as one who has come up to the mark
of mans destiny.
As a testimony that this Is not vain IA ttery,
| give the following brief sketch of my own ex-
perienee:
When / was twenty years old, was very
sick for about two months with what my physi-
clan called "Slnw Fever,r during which time
took much medicine; from that time for "a
years was very often sick and under the care
of physician. About twelve years ago had
a very severe attack Of Inhammatory Rheu-
matism, during which was attended by Dr.
Moore, Of Philadelphia. then regarded my
self as an old man with broken constitution,
swiftly descending to the grave Soon after
wards, however, l purchased box of Bran
dreths pills, and finding them on trial, to be
more effectual in removing disease, than any
medicine | had ever tried before, I replenish-
ed my supply from time to time, as occasion
required. Since that time have spent three
years in the Western Country, where was
very much exposed to vicissitudes likely 10
produce disease; twice | 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. wns taken sud-
dedly very III, the friend a who's house stop
/ ped called in a physician, who made IA very
careful examination of my case. and thenspro-
| posed TO commence process which he stated
would so reduce my system as TO cOnfne me to
| the house for at least six weeks, but declined
his prescriptions, took a dose of Braudreth's
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
Brandreth's Pills IL years ago.
My health is now vastly better than it had
been for "a years before commenced the use
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 l was before I used
them; when I take a cold now, / have no
cough, and attribute all this change, under
God, to the substitution Of Brandreth's Pills,
for the frequent bleeding and the calome dos
! ing to which i was before subjected. My wife,
too, by the same means enjoys the same unin-
terrupted good health. Our Doctors bill foI
both of US, have not amounted TO FIVE dollars in
twelve years. When we find our health i'm
paired from any cause, we take dose Of Bran
dreth's Pills, and the difficulty is removed,
and judging from my own experience, believe
if every family should adopt the same practice,
the health and the longevity Of the eommuni-
| ty would be greatly promoted.
Most respectfully thy friend,
| O.. ARNOLD BUFFUM.
