Dec. 31 st, 1314/ SRA.^DRETH FILLS. Truth Akin to Nature. H AVB you pains? Be thankful. It is a vigorous ef fort of Nature to throw off* morbific matter. From what may the morbific matter arise ? From-a bruise, or utiwlioliome air which has become mixed with tbe blood, not incorporated in.it, but which is liable to taint the whole mass if aot speedily removed. Or tbe pain may arise from bile which has become bad', rancid, putrid, in. consequence of the want ol power in the proper organs to cti?charge at.— This pain which so frightens people is only the symp toms of the efforts of Nature, (or the vital principle of the blood,) to expel the pecant or IMPURE matter, which would otherwise destroy the human fabric. All diseases are of the solids or fluids, or both. When we have pain in our bead, or in our foot, in our throat or in our back oj bowels, let us bnt be satisfied that it is produced by tbe zf- forts of oar blood to throw out morbific matter, and if this be so, if we can but believe and understand this, our cure will be ejsy and generally sure. For our course will then be to help Nature to throw off' the morbid, master, not to taxe away the' blood. For the blood. FVKRY DROP WE HAVE IS REQ.UXRED TO INSURE UL'TI MATE HEALTH to the body, we must NO*T LOSE X DROP; neither must we use any medicines internally which are uot perfectly harmless, if applied externally to the body. So we inur.t not use any of lhe prepara ions of mercury, 71cither muni ire use any vegetable idedicine of CORROSIVE POWER. In order to disciiminate between Truth,-.which is eternal and conjecture, which is like a transient vision, we must be guided by tbe Bgbt of EXPERIENCE. To whatfdoM experience direct? To the FREE USE OF DR. BRAN* DRETH’S PILLS in all cases cf toady suffering. As this advice is followed; SO WILL' THE IIEALtH 9F THE BODY BE. The writer has long used theim and has never found them’fail of imparting relief. In all a’catc diseases let Brandreth Pills and mild di£t b6 used, aftd the patient will soon be restored to good health’. In chronic complaints let the Pills be used as’often as Convenient, by which means the vitality of the blood will be improved, and a crisis will be generally brought about: the disease being chanced to acute, a few Icrge doses of Pills and a few days confinement to the house, will change the chronically dis eased individual to’a sound innn. This is no figure of the imagination ; it can’be proved by a thousand matter-of-fact | tnen who have experienced it. REMEMBER, in all ca- 1 ses of disease, no matter whether it be a cold or.a, cough ; whether it 6e asthma or consumption.: whether it be rheu matism or pleurisy: whether it be typ*s of fever-and-ague, or bilious fever: cramp or hooping ceugk or mepsels ; wheth er it be scarlet fever or small pox ; tint the Pills known as Brandreth’fi Pills, will surely do more than all the medi cines of the. Drug Stores for your restoration to health, and what is tnor$ will surelv do you no harm. TRUST TO HRANDllETHH PILLS, take them so as to produce a brisk effect, and your sickness will be tbe affair of a day or two, while those who are too wise to fol low this common seuse advice. w< 11 be sick for months — Let tbe sick enquire of the agents for Is rand re ill’s Pifis whether the«e things be so or not. t L^t them enquire among their friends and ask the same question. Verily, if EVI DENCE is wanted it shall be procured. To tbe Sick, lit me say, use die , . .. ....
