IVHlfalbSo The Exciting Cause of Sickness, The blooil is ihe life sustaining agent. It furmeties the components of Mesh, hone, muscle, nerve and integument. The stomach is its manufactory, the veins its distributors, and Hits intestines the channel through which the waste matter rejected in its productions is expelled. Upon the stomach, the circula tion and the bowels, these Pills act simulta neously, relieving indigestion, purifying the fluids, and regulaliig the excretions. THE NATIONAL t'OMPUIST. Dyspepsia is tho most common disease among all classes in this coanlry. Itassumes i a thousand shapes, and is the primary source | of innumerable dangerous maladies; but whatever its type or symptoms, however ob ; I stinate its resistance to ordinary preparations, I it yields readily and rapidly to this searching and unerring remedy. uiLiois Arrj;iTio\s.
