how Brandrelh's Pills Cure.

When disease is in the system it may be said
to be an intruder. Brandreth's Pills are a sort of
Police, which being swallowed, seize the intruder
and cause a disturbance, when Nature turns them
both out of her domains together. Nature always
tries TO restore health, but, alas is not always
able. Being assisted by BrandreIh's Pills and q
mild diet, she never fails, when this great medi-
cine is used in season. Over hundred years has
proved the truth of this assertion. In fact, their
use insures the cure of all disease of the human
body, whether chronic or recent, infectious or
Otherwise; because they purify the blood and in
crease safely the action of Il excreting and Sc
creting vessels. The sick "a n n new power of
life from Brandreth's Pills, as a flower that is
fading gathers vigOr from a refreshing rain.
