ACTION OF VEGETINE,

A large class of disease depends on the presence
OF morbid material in the blood, or what amounts
TO the same thing, on the constant working Of a
morbid process in that fluid. The object i'm tia
treatment OF such diseases is to obtain i'm each case
some remedy that shall be able to cOunteract this
process; that shall destroy the morbid influence at
work, and thus restore health. VEGETTNE acts on
the blood and on the system generally; and, when
used it is absorbed, taken up by the VEINS and cir
culated through the system with the blood, reach
ing the most hidden and remote parts. In all blood
diseases hrmors, diseases OF the skim and nervous
ness, it is a safe and sure remedy.
