Works of Nature.-Ira state of health the
Intestinal canal may be compared to river
whose waters flow over the adjoining land, thro'
the channels nature art has made, and i'm
prove their qualities; long it on
smoothly the channels arc kept pure and healthy;
if the course of the river is stopped, then the
water in the canals is no longer pure, but soon
becomes stagnant. There is but one law of cir
culation in nature When there is superabun-
dance of Immortal fluid in the intestinal tubes,
and costivencss takes place, it flows black into
the blood vessels, and infltrates itself into the
circulation. To establish the free course of the
river, we must remove the distractions which
stop its free course, and those of its tributary
streams. With the body, follow the same natu-
raj prncipe-remove the distractions from the
bowels with BRANDRETH's PILLS, which never
injure, but always effectual for the perfect
cleansing of the system from foulress disease.
Remember; never suffer drop of blood to be ia

you are sick.
