BLOOVD CATTLE-CURE.--A. corm pOtident of the :thine Farmer, who is a person of much observation, and who has had eoosiderable experience lately in the nfathig T einehrof neat cattle, states that last August he noticed one of his young cattle much bloated, evidently in great agony, and•groaning loudly at every breath. Ilia first tuovement was to cut off a small por firm Of her tail. lle then administered a strong Jose of thorotiliwort, with a small quantity of mosey, which immediately freed it;.a second bottle was then poured down, aml she animal turned in the yard, and driv en briSkly about fur a few minutes, when the I.lli s iat Wholly disappeared, and the ani mal was in a short time as well and hearty as ever.

The dicule which many have 'attempted to east on theie common sense opinions, must recoil upon therneel tee as surely as that Truth Will prevail. BBANDRETIPB The effect of this celebrated medicine is to pu.- rify the blood, to convert the poor, corrupt blood into healthy, rich blood. And it is because they do this that they have heen so steadily_setight af ter- bytillelaiiietiiif out. Citizerii Whit have requi red medicine. And it is because of the power Brandneth Pills are Now knoWn to possess at health.restorent, that renders them so popular. . Theycure all affections, simply because they make the. blood pure—abstratt out of it 'three qualities which produce disease, and give to it those qualities which produce health. Now, every solid part of the hurrian frame is made from the blood, and the food we eat is con verted into blood to supply the waste our bodies are continually sustaining. So in the ordinary course of nature we manufacture, our entire bo dies in about nine years from the food taken into our stomachs. Suppose the blood made in this stomach of ours is unsound, impure, occasioned by some cause or other: it may refer to the site ceding generation : no matter, we make impure blood, and if so, it cannot be healthy. Or sup pose the air we have lived in for some time has been loaded with matters detrimental to health, or our food for is long petite' has been of an un wholesome kind, or that the mind has been much troubled—for grief. anxiety, or great attention to any particular point is sure to occasion bad ef fects on the blood. Any of these causes existing, good blood cannot be supplied to the body. But let Brandreth's Pills be used daily under these circumstances in doses of from two to six pills, or as the case shall determine. What is their effect it is to carry off the impure mat ters horn the blood, leaving only the good to re new every part of the body. What was unsound' now becomes bound, and the stomach soon gets into so healthy a condition that even bad airs or ungyholesome food for a time are unable to injure the health materially. Even when the climate or food conticue unhealthy. the occasional use of the Brandreth Pills will separate the impure parts and cause their expulsion, leaving what is good to supply lite and strength to the body. When the bones are diseased, when every ram ification of the frame is out of order, the Brand ied' Pills will, in nineteen caws out of twenty, cure. Remember that the body can be entirely remade from the food, bones and all ; and aided by this most beneficent medicine, in quarter of the time it takes in the ordinary courbe of nature. In from two to tour years an entirely new healthy body can be exchanged for the, uns 011tid, the di seased, the miserable one. The slowness or quickness of the change altogether depends upon the effect the Brantheth l'ills ate made to pro- duce ; which effect can be graduated just as the patient pleases. No passible injury can result from this; nothing but good can follow. Enquire the effect of Brandretlfs Pills among your unpre judiced friendit; you will hear suflicient to satisfy you that there is no risk in making the trial, and that you will not be doing yourself justice with out it. fij-The Brandredi Pills are sold for 25 cents per box at Dr. B.
