IMPURE BLOOD.

The blood is the life and when any foreign
or unhealthy matter gets mixed with it, it is at
once distributed to every organ of the body.
Every nerve feels the poison, and all the vital
organs quickly complain. the stomach will
not digest the food perfectly. The liver ceases
the heart is weakened, and so the circulation is
feeble. The lungs become clogged with the
poisonous matter hence a cough-and all from
sligh mpurity at the fountain head of life
the Blood As if you had thrown some earth
for instance, in pure spring, from which ran n
tiny rivulet, in few minutes the whole course
Of the stream becomes disturbed and discolored
AS quickly does impure blood fly to every part,
and leave its sting behing. All the passages
become Distracted, and unless the obstruction
is removed, the lamp Of life soon dies out
These pills not only purify the blood, but
degenerate all the secretions of the body they
are, therefore, unriyaed rs
