HEALTH DEPENDS ON PURE BLOOD. Pills Purify the Blood

No Disease can resist thelr Judfcious Use.
 MILD OPERATION WITH SUCCESSFUL EFFECT ARE THE REGULARITY OF BRANDRErHs Pns Our race are subject to redundancy of vtiated bile, at this son. and it is as dangerous as it is prevalent but Brandreths Pills afford an invaluable and efficient protection. By their occasional use prevent the collection of those impurities, which, when in suff- cent quantities. cause much danger to the body s health. They soon cure liver complaints, dyspep- sa, loss of appetite, pain in the head heart burn, pain in the breast bone sudden faintness and cos tiyeness. 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 vomit- ing of the most serious character whether from sickness otherwise where the retchng has been appalling, single dose of four BRANDRETHs PILLS has at cured, and the patient has fallen into sweet sleep. When the mind cannot collect itself ; when the memory fails when it is effort to fix the attention when our sleep is broken and our waking hours harrassed with forcbodngs of evil thch DIahoTetn THIS snOuld De uSed 1T these warnings remain unheeded, rheumatism consump tion, disease of the heart, bilious affections, jaun- dice, dropsies piles, apoplexes and cesveness will suddenly present themselves. These Brandleth s Pills would have prevented, but nevertheless these they will also cure. Use them at once Do not let prejudice prevent the use of this simple but potent remedy.
 Brandreth's Theory of Disease
 Never extract blood. Blood is the life. By ab- stracting it in painful diseases you may occasion the t,on or lessenng Me porer o tee 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 a few days wecks into chronic affection of months and years.
 Brandreths Pills accord with Nature. Natures remedy in fact. When sudden, acute or sure quick return to health, you must use Bran dreth's Pills, which will soon relieve every organ from undue pressure, and remove those humors, whose presence often occasions such terrible suffer- ing.
