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.

ol these foi uiible evils, he put himself in the
