DIR, MORSE, the inventor of MoRsE'S INDIAN
ROOT Pills, hasspcnl tho greater parl ofhis life IN
travelling having visited Europe, Asia and Africa, as
wulI as North merica--has spent thee years among
the Indians OF our Western eOuniry--it was in this
way Matthe Indian Root Pills were FIRST discovered.
Dr. Morse was tho st man TO establish tho tact that
ali dIseases arise from IN PURITY OPTHE BLOOD
that our strength, health aud life depended upon this
vital fluid. ksss
and why so many die Is because they do not got
dicne which viii pass 10 the afflicted parts and which
will opon the natural for tho disaso tobe cast
out; hence, large quantity oiiood and other matter
is lodged ~ the stomach " niostnes areteray over
flowing with the corrupted mas; thus undergoing dis
agreeable fermentation, constantly mixing with the
blood, which throws the corrupted matter through
every vein and artery, unsc Is TAX from the body
by disease. DIR. Mors0's SPILLS have added TO hom-
solves victory upon victory, by restoring millions Of
thu sick to blooming heah and happinoss, Yes,thOu
sands who have been racked or tOrmc tod with sick
ness pain aud anguish, and whose ccble frames have
boon scorched by the burning Ofraglng fever
and who have boon brought, sit were, within step
oflhe silent grave, now stand roady TO testify that
they would have been numbered with the dead had il
not been for this groat and wonderful medicine,
Morse's Indian Root Fills. After ono or two doses
had been takon thoy wcro astOnished and absolutely
surprised, in witnessing their charming effects Not
only do thoy give immediate and strength, and
take away all scknoss pain and anguish but they al
once go TO work Foundation the disease which

by those who use tho Plls that they will cleanse
and purify, that disaasO--that deadly enemy--wil
take Its flight, and the flush youth and beauty will
again return and the prospect OF long and happy life
