HEALTH DEPENDS UPON PURE BLOOD
II Tbjn and acrid blood cannot secreie

those who are dyspeptic should be 10 com
,nence the puriication Of their blood.
BRANDRETH'S PILLS,
Not only purify, but they make the blood rich
er. and add those principles upon which its
power to resist disease, depends.
Mr.p OPERATIONS WITH SUCCESSFUL EXPECT ARE
THE REGULARITY OF BRANDBRTH's Pills. Now
that we may soon expect genial Spring, it is OF
great Importance that lew doses be used by
the wise. Our race are subject TO re1un-
dancy of vitated bile at this season, and 1T is
as dangerous as it is prevalent; but Brandreth's
Pills afford an invaluable and efficient pro-
lection. By their OCCASIONAL use, we prevent
the collection of those impurities, which,
when in sufficient quantities. cause so much
dan. er TO the fine organs Of the stomach and
bowels. They soon cure liver complaint,
dyspepsia, loss OF appetite, pain in the head.
heartburn, pain in the breast bone, sudden
fai in tness and costiveness. In brief, Bran
dreth's Pills work their way to the very roots
OF the disease, cleansing in their passage re-
moving every unhealthy accumulation till the
blood is purified, the whole system renovated
and the functions and duties of life become a
pleasure, where before they had been sad and
weary burdens.

to the following, and such evidence can De
