DR.. Brandreth, my dear friend, If to be good
and to do good is the highest duty ofman; and
if to do good is the best evidence a man can
give that he is good, then 1 feel bound to ad-
dress thee as one who has come up to the mark
of mans destiny,
| As testimony that this Is not vain hattery,
l give the following brief sketch Of my OWL ex-
perience:
When 1 was twenty years old, was very
sick for about two months with what my physi-
clan called "Slnw Fever,n 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
very severe attack of Inhammatory Rheu-
matism, during which l was attended by DE-.
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 a box Of Bran
dreths pills, and finding them on trial, TO be
more efectual in removing disease, than any
medicine l had ever tried before, 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 to
produce disease; twice l 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-
dedly very i'll, the friend a whose house l stop
ped called in a physician, who made a very
careful examination Of my case. and then pro-
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 Brandreth's
Pills, called the next day and paid the physi-
clan for his visit, and pursued my travel, and
this is the only instance of my being visited
by physician since purchased the first box of
Brandreth's Pills - years ago.
My health is now vastly setter than it had
been for "a years before commenced the use
of these Pills. They have been my constant
companion wherever l have been, by land or
by sea, and my only medicine; am now
ten pounds heavier than l was before 1 used
them; when l take a cold now, | have no
cough, and l attribute all this change. under
1 God, to the substitution Of Brandreth's Pills,
for the frequent bleeding and the calomel dos
ing to which was before subjected. My wife,
too, by the same means enjoys the same unin-
terrupted good health. Our Doctors bill fol
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, believ,
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.
