Concentrate YitaIi,x.

All excitants, TO radically cure, must be
innocent. The art consists in continuing
their use until matters in the system con-
trary to health are removed. Health finds
happinessip the mere sense of existence.
Brandreth Spills stimulate the blood so
as to enable nature to throw off all morbid
humors, and cure disease no matter by
whatSname it may be called.
The secret OF recruiting the vital prin-
ciple is discovered in Brandreth's Pills
because they remove what holds it in
check. 1t is believed they possess the ele'
ments Of vitality. Heat, healthy animal
warmth, is certainly increased by the use
of this wonderful medicine. Provided the
great organs are not irreparably fin
iured, there is no disease Brandreth's s
