HEALTH DEPENDS ON PURE BLOOD. Pills Purify the Blood

No Disease can resist ,he1r Judicious Use. MILD OPERATION WITH SUCCESSFUL EFFECT ARE THE REGULARITY OF BRANDRETH's PILLS. Our race are subject to redundancy of vitated bile, at this sea- son. and it is as dangerous as it is prevalent but Brandreths Pills afford an invaluable and efficient protection By their occasional we prevent the collection of those impurities, which, when in sui cient quantities cause much danger to the body health They soon cure liver complaints, dyspep- sia, loss of appetite, pain in the head heart burn pain in the breast bone, sudden faintness and tiveness In brief, Brandreth's Pills work their way to the very roots of disease cleansing in their passage, removing every unhealthy accumulation till the blood is purified the whole system ted and the functions and duty of life become a pleasure where before they had been sad and weary burdens Often when nothing has relieved vomt- ing of the most serious character whether from sea- sickness otherwise, where the retching has been appalling, a single dose of four BRANDRErH's PILLS has at cured. and the patient has fallen into a sweet sleep. When the mind cannot collect itself i; when the memory fails when it is effort to fix the attention when sleep is broken and our waking hours harrassed with forebodings of evil then Brandreth's Pills should be used If these warnings remain unheeded, rheumatism consump- ton, disease of the heart, bilious affections, jaun dice dropses, piles apopexies and costiveness will suddenly present themselves. These Brandl eth's s Pills would have prevented, but nevertheless these they will also cure. Use them at once. Do not let prejudice prevent the of this simple but potent remedy
 Brandreths Theory of Disease stractng it in painful diseases you may occasion the patient ease, but remember, this s only the reduc- taon or sse'g Me pomer to teel And by thus taking away natures tools, you may prevent her from full ly repairing the ravaGes of inflammation and con- vert what might only have been the sickness of q few days weeks, into chronic affection of months and years.
 Bramdreth's Pills accord with Nature. Natures remedy in fact. When sudden acute or continued pain occurs from any cause, then to in- quick return to health, you must use Bran dreth's Pills, which will relieve every organ from undue pressure, and remove those humors whose presence often occasions such terrible suffer- ing.
