If, during the continuance of storms and
floods, the channels of

become so obstructed as to afford an insuffi -
dent outlet for the superabundant waters,
we can expect nothing less than that the
surrounding country will be
Overwhelmed wills the Flood.
In like manner with the hu man body—if
the skin, kidneys and bowels (the natural
outlets for useless and corrupt h umors) be
come sn obstructed as to fail in affording a
full discharge of those impurities which are

THE CAUSE OF SICKNESS,
we surely can expect no other results thin
that the whole frame will sooner or later b e
OVERT! HELMED lIITH DISEASE
As in the first place, if we would prevent
an inundation we must remove all obstruc
tions, in order that there may be no hind
rance to the free discharge of the supera
bundant waters. So, in the second place, if
we would prevent and cure disease, we must
open and keep open, all natural drains of the
body.

North Amer 4 ean College of Health,
will ba found one of the best it not the very
BEST MEDICINE IN THE WORLD
for carrying out this beautiful and simple
theory, because they compleatly cleanse the
stomach and bowels from all bilous humors,
and other impurity, and at the same (line
promote a healthy discharge from the lungs,

U C'antion.—As the great popularity and
consequent great demand for Wright's Indi
an Vegetable Pills has raised up a hest of
counterfeiters, country storekeepers and

many impostors who are travelling about the
country selling to the unsuspecting a spurt
ous•article for the genuine.
It should be remembered that all author
' ized agents are provided with a certificate of
agency, signed by WILLIAst WRIGHT, Vice
President of the North American College of
Health. Consequently, those who offer In
dMn Vegetable Pills, and cannot show a cer
tificate as above described will be known as
, imposters.
