How Brandreth's Pills Cure.

When disease is in the system it may be said
70 be an intruder. Brandreths Pills are q sort of
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 Brandreth's Pills and
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
uss 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 the excreting and Sc
creting vessels- The sick gain a power Of
life from Brandreth's Pills. as a flower that is
fading gathers vigor from a refreshing rain.

DIR. WRTGHI'S

"Facts stubborn things" says the old pro-
verb, and in these alone do We intend do deal, in
presenting WRIGHT'S TAR SYRUP to the pub
lie. All know the necessity of guarding against
Colds, well as the necessity of taking the pro-
per remedies when colds are upon us. We say,
without fear of contradiction, that the superior
of Wrights Tar Syrup, for the cure of Consump-
ton, Coughs, Colds, bronchitis, and all diseases
of the Throat and Lungs, does not exist. Below
are testimonials from persons some of whom are
known in all parts of the country
PHILADELPHIA July 20, 1867.
DEAR SIR-Last Christmas, for the first time
in my life, I was much afflicted by very severe
Cold, with almost constant Cough and sore chest.
"Practice makes perfect" the proverb says, but
the more coughed the worse did it. By what
i then considered an accident, but now believe TO
have been a Providence was induced to try DIR.
Wrights Tar Syrup, purchased from you, and
was greatly relieved in two days, wholly cured in
ten. 1t is not unpleasant to the taste, which is
good point. Many years ago, reading my way
through an old library, came across the works
of that Bishop Berkely, who prophetically and
truly declared, more than a century ago, that
Westward the march of Empire takes its way
and among these two treaties in which he
strongly advocated the use OF Tar, as curative o
many diseases from Catarrh to the plague.
Bishops arguments, and am now sure-from ths
efficacy of DIR. Wright's preparation of the same
remedy-that they entirely correct.
Yours, truly,
