BRANDRTH' VEGETABLE USri-
YERSAL PIUS.
Cleanse and Purify llie Body.
The Weather and its effects. One day we have
90 decrrees of heat in the shade; the next 50. Thus,
one day the perspiration is streaming from every
pore ; the next day all are nearly closed. Even
those who hare a healthy disposition of body, are
subject to siekness under these circumstances.
Therefore to prevent any danger, we ought care
fully to guard against a COSTIVE STATE OF
OUR BOWELS. Once or twice they must be
evacuated in 24 hours. If this is not effected
naturally, medicine must be resorted to BRAN
DRETH'S PILLS must be taken: then there will
be no danger. Do not think that even a daily use
of these Pills will weaken or debilitate? They do
not. On the contrary, the functions of the stomach,
are restored, the bowels cleansed and strengthen
ed ;; the appetite and digestion improved. And
common sense tells us we are better able to with
stand continued heat, or sudden changes than we
should be, were we oppressed by a load of impure
humors in the. blood, always the occasion of every
variety of disorder. Often a sudden dysentery
occurs. Should there be a. cause for this, and it
does not take place, then, the blood is made the
receiver of those humors, which should have been
discharged by the bowels. Undor these circum
stances, which may be known by exceeding drow
siness, and great fatigue on the least exertion,
vegetable purcinc must be immediately and ener
getically practised, or these humors form a lining
i . i ii- i i t i
or aeposue in me Diooa vessels wiuun may pro
duce epilepsy, apoplexy,, consumption, &c etc.
It must be, however, borne in mind that even in
dysenteryand disorders of the bowels, that BRAN
DETH'S PILLS are indispensable. They re
move those peceant humors which produce these
affections, before they have time to produce gan
grene or any other fatal effect.
Sometimes the blood is so loaded with humors
that it becomes in a fermentation, being that state
of the body called fever, which is nothing more
than an effort of nature to throw off all offending
matters. This is, in fact, a call upon Reason, to
assist the natural functions with purging medicine,
which, if properly answered, will soon evacuate
these foul humors, anu restore the body to a state
of perfect health.
It is at all times easier to prevent than to cure
disease, because by taking a preventive couse we
do not debilitate the natural functions of the body,
but rather strengthen and assist them. The pe
culiar action of
Brandreth's Vegetable Universal Pills,
is to cleanse the blood from all impurities, remove
every cause of pain or weakness, and
PRESERVE THE CONSTITUTION
in such a state of health and vigor so that casual
changes cannot effect it.
DR. BRANDRETH'S Principal Office for
the sale of his Pills, is 341, Bjoadway, oppo
