THE GREAT SECRET.

1t is admitted by all physicians that the grand

blood left will have more roonl But as the BODY
is made from the blood and sustained by the
blood, to waste blood is to waste our life and
ruin our constitution. But Branlreth's Pills re-
leve the circulation as readily as bleeding bv on
