[27 RATIONAL TREA'T'YKl'fr: IT is admitted by ino^ reasonable persons that nearly all disf^es spring from an impure state the blood. This, of course, arises from many causes, the most fre- quent being -,&nt of pure air and over indulgence ill eat- ing an-1 prinking. Tne artificial state of existence which most of the in- nabitants of our great towns are compelled to lead, induces much of that langour and ill-health which indicate a vi tiated state of the blood. A remedy, however, may be found in EAYE'S WORSDELL'S PILLS, which, for more than a quarter of a century, have been recognised, on all hands to be the BEST PURIFIER OF THE BLOOD known in Medicine, and, from their largely-extended sale and general adoption as a FAMILY MEDICINE," may be fairly classed as a household necessary.
