TO Prevonl Sickness,

The pronounced opinions of the ablest
TherapeJtiSts indicate that most diseases
are ths direct result Of vitiated Blood and
as their successful treatment of disease is
founded on the principle and practice of
eliminating this blood poison by judicious
purgation, so this same principle, by rea-
eonable adaptation 10 any case, is the
eurcst means TO prevent disease,
keller's Vegetable Life Drops are an alb
solute preventive oidiscases caused by I'M
purity of the Blood, of Liver diseases, of
diseases ofthe Stomach, Intestines, etc. Its
corrective influence will prevent or short
en- attacks Of Dyspepsia, .jaundice, Merry
Gus Debility, Cterlne<..scrdeTs, Fever and
Ague and all that numerous class of dis
eases induced by malarial poison. Topre-
vent disease, then, purify the blood if
needed by using Il reliable Alternative and
purgative; this, conjoined with the observ-
ance of hygenic directions, will establish
condition of body in which health will
be the rule and disease the exception. A
careful perusal of the "AIanual of Purga.
tive and Depuratiye Medicine" will fully
illustrate the subject of which the above
is mere outline, and will clearly indicate
the method of using Keller's Vegetable
Life Drops To be had at Drug Stores or

WhVWe become Sick

Aside from hereditary pre-disposition
to many diseases, there are four prominent
causes Of much of human disease, and
these are: Impure air. which causes poi
soning of the Blood and Pulmonary dis
eases; unhealthy water, which is a great
source of Typhoid and kindred fevers;
improper food, which is the cause of
S'omachic al / Intestinal arrangement;
al sudden changes of climate and tenn
perature, which induce congestiye disor-
ders. Thus, the absolute essentials of life
are often charged with the principles and
poisoned with the germs of disease and
death. Whenever the proportional prin-
ciDlcs of the Blood become disturbed from
any of the causes named, impoverishment
or poisoning of this fluid follows; if the
digestive organs act abnormally, Dyspep-
STA and its distressing effects manifest
themselves; any cause that tends to eX-
cite the unusual action of the Liver is
certain to produce Bilious diseases; and
whenever there is a torpitudc or sluggish
ness Of the boWcls-Constipation, with its
host OF attendant evils, establishes itself.
From these universally accepted truths
it becomes comparatively easy to explain
Why We Become Sick. By neglecting
the laws Of nature, and eating unsuitable
food, or eating wholesome food in an
improper manner; by abundant drinking
at meals, by many other improprieties of
eating and drinking, and particularly by
that one Notwithstanding habit peculiar
to the American people-rapid eating
Indigestion or Dyspepsia is established
with all of its distressing consequences;
Immediately the Blood lowers its standard
