More Causes of Blood POisOnS.

Excessive labor or undue excitement some
times occasion serious sickness by causing accel-
Grated motion of the blood. Grief, fear and an
Itety hurt by making the blood to circulate slow
er Both causes may produce serious evils to
the health unless prevented by timely aid. Here
We are admonished Of the superior advantage Of
Brandrcth's 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, shoull the blood circulate too slowly,
tinting tho skn with a dark hue, they at once
relieve the blood Of its excess Of carbon: thus
they relieve tho mind and restore the health
