VEGETABLE UNIVERSAL FILLS,
IT is icnrrally known that my Grandfather was the
nritnul inventor of theM remarkable nilla.
He was a scientific man, and a medical practitioner
of the Old School, lint becoming alarmed al tne mor
milt,! tlmt attended the Uleedinit and Jliiienil Prac
tice,' he turned his attention lo the sindy of natureund
tlie philosophy of disease, as also to the nutnral reme
dial atieuu whith he fouud to exist exclusively in the
Veiteiable Kingdom. In hie resean-hes and iuresti
itaiions, he became fully satislied that the life was in
the bl.idi that by whutevor name diseases were dis
tiiiiiiinlieil. iiiuiui itv of I he blood was the source ol
all a aimpio and truthful doctrine, which, in redticina:
all diseases loa unit, necessarily cstahlislied the fact
that ull were to be treated ou the same geucrai pnn
cinlfs. vix, hv purunii'in.
' Now the grand difficulty consisted in devisiiur a veg
etable compound that would invigorate, purify, and
cleanse the blood, correct and regulate all the dilRr
ent secretions, and by purgatiou diaclmige the whole
mass of morbid mailer inuu me oouy, w iinout reuue
inu ili imiiinh. Alter thirty veara of close iiiuilica
tiou, he considered his object fully accsmplished in
the nroducllonol these pills, which huvo now been
before the public One Hundred and fourteen Jears,
m,H it is now iimal nearly 31 veart siuce Dr. Itran-
lirelh s Vegetable Universal Life Preserving Pills
were lirst preseLled Ui the American public during
which time tbj-ir superior excellence aud virtues have
been extensively proclaimed ny papers auu pampiueis,
And a rapid yearly lucre ase of the sale of them ef-
feel ell.
- To know what will save life, to know what will
restore beahh, is a knowledge not to he hidden, I
therefore, as a inun desiring to do my duty faithfully
have dotted down some of nir thirty Ave years' exne
rirnre with Brandrelh's Pills, which are an eireclual
assisiant of nature, and cause the expulsion of acri
monious humors the occasion of every sickness. Let
ns admit that rorrnnt humors prevent the tree circula
tion of the blood, that Hmndreth's Pills take not
these humors, giving health for pain, and strength for
weakness.
No man is sick save when the principle of corrup
tion gets the ascendency; ltrandretb s Pills aid tin
Life Principle to reguin ihe empire bv removing tin
eorrapt huuon from the lodv. Many a lime I havi
seen tins apparently al the last sbb when these Pills
were given, and iu a few hours the danger was past,
and health's flood tide gave the patient renewed life
and vigor. Many are uie ratners, mothers, sons, an
daughters, thus saved.
These celebrated Tills are composed wholly of me
dicinal herbs, and do not onntain any mercury or other
mineral, being perfectly harmless to the most tender
sues or weakest frame; yet stirs to search out lbs cause
of sickness, and restore the health if taken according
in the directions.
I jet no one imagine the, are loo Weak to bear the
effect or these Pills, which put no weakness into the
frame, hut draws weakness ont. A few doses will be
iret confidence, and then the beauties of purgation will
firadoailv become enfolded to onr view, wliieh, en
oreed with Hrandreth s Vegetable l"niveisal Pills, il
able to rare every disease where the urgent are suoud,
mI imiMllv inernue the eremee of human lite.
I have now need on mv own person, and prepared
and administered. Hrandreth s Pills for tbiriy-Hre
years I believe they are the best purgative in the
mnriA, and with this tnedieal ntialitv Ihev have also
a tonic effect And as I am ' of the arm opinion that
inflainaaatKai aud fevera are eaaeed by corrupted
1,1 ml aia being timely evacnalei, because it regurgi-
taies. to to speak, over the whole body, and the cor

Pills have a direct effect to remote all corrupt blood
aod aerimnoinoe hnmort from the body in fact, all
nmee beiow the vital standard of health; to I should
be guilty of a grral tin, did I n do all in my power
