Lat diroovkrim in Patiioi.ooy show that very many of the diseases which Inflict man kind arise from impurity of the blood. This has long hern suspected hut is only lately known. In consumption, tubercles are found In be a sedimentary deposite from the blood. lropsy, Gout, Cancer, Ulcers, and Eruptions, all arise in disordered deposits from the blood. Pillious diseases nnd fevers are caused solely by its deranged nnheulthy state, and even the declinu of life follows a want of vittiulity in the blood. In view of the theso facts Pit. AvKlt designed his Cu(iitt'c Pill especially to purify und invigorate the blood, and hence we believe to uriie its nnpnrulell ed success in controlling and curing disease. Mcilirnl Journal.
