PHILOSOPHY AND FACT.
The Exciting i'ause of Sickness.
The blood is iho life sustaining agent. It
furnishes the components ol flesh, bone,
muscle, nerve and integument. The stomach
is its manufactory, the veins its distributors,
and the intestines the channel through which
the waste matter rejected in its production#
is expelled. Upon the stomach, the circula
tion and the bowels, these Fills uct simulta
neously, relieving indigestion, purifying the
fluids, and regula'iig die excretions.
TUIJ NATIONAL COMPLAINT.
Dyspepsia is the most common disease
among ali classes in this country. It assume#
a thousand shapes, and is the primary source
ol innumerable dangerous maladies; but
whatever its type or symptoms, however ob
stiiiule its resistance to ordinary preparations,
it yields reuJily atid upidly to this searching
and unerring remedy,
Btii.ious affections.
The quantity and quAliijr of the bile are a
vital importance to Imallh. Upon the liver,
the gland which secretes this fluid, these
Fills operate specifically, infallibly rectifying
its irregularities, ami effectually curing Jaun
dice, Bilious Lie mutants, and all the varieties
ol disease generated by an unnatural eondi*
lion ol the organ. . .
BOWKL COMPLAINT?.
Unless the bowels peilorm their functions
properly, the whole body sufterv. Tens of
thousandsdie sinic.ally of Dysentery, Dmr
rl o-a, Chronic consumption, tint! dthsr dis
eases of these waste pipes ol the system
The etlecl ol the Fills upon all intestinal dis
orders, whether on-nal or epidemic, ia a
phenomenon in medicine. By following the
printed directions, the roost alarming cases
of buwel complaint are promptly controlled.
A Word id Females.
The local debility and irregularities which
.are the especial annoyances of thd weaker
aex, and which, when neglected, always
shorten life, are relieved for the time being,
and prevented for iho lime to come, by t
course of this mild but thorough alterative.
