More Causes of Blood Poisons.

Excessive labor or undue excitement some
times occasion serious sickness by causing Rocel-
Grated motion Of the blood. Grief, fear and an
Niety hurt by making the blood to circulate allow
er. Both causes may produce serious evils to
the health unless prevented by timely aid. Here
we are admouished Of the superior advantage Of
Brandreths Pills. For If the blood goes too
fast from nervous or other causes, they allay the
turmoil and are healing balm TO the brain.
While, should the blood circulate too slowly,
| tintng the skin with a dark hue, they at once
relieve the blood Of its excess Of carbon; thus
they relieve the mind and restore tho health.
Shou an organ be weaker than the rest there
| impure matters from the bio will be deposited,
| This is the way humps, boils, tumors, caTbunces
| are produced. All are enred, often prevented
by the use Of Brandreth's Pills.
