Or death must carry you to your silent
grave. Why delay while there is yet
hope? Consumption is caused by impure
humun of the blood beng deposited in
the sells of the lungs. Hence, the lungs
are like a spring Of water, when rolled by
the dirt or mud, ifclear water constantly
flows through the springs, impurities or
mud will be conveyed away by the pure
water. Just so with the blood when kept
in clean or pure state; as i constantly
flows through the lungs, Il carries away
all corrupt matter, and perfect health will
be lhe result. From two to four Pllls Ia
ken every night or every other night, ol
enough TO keep the bowels regular, will il
reasonable time cure consumption.- -
The reason these pills are used more thar
all Others, is because they are made OF pu
rifying vegetables. and cleanse the bod!
from all corrupt matter, and drive out dis
cases Of every description, quicker aud Il
a nilder way than any otter Pills.
