AUNT PATTY AT HOME.
BY MRS. ANN S.  STEPHENS.
You shouU have seen how warm and . snug aunt Patty's house looketl in the win¬ ter; the cellar windows were all banked up, the barn yard levelled down whh straw, and the barn itself so completely crammed that tufts of hay and unthreshed rye protruded through the crevices of the great folding doors, and in some places seemed almost forcing the clapboards from their fjistenings. It would have done your heart good to see the groat golden and crimson ears of corn gleaming through tho lattice work of the grain house 1 Then the fat cows and lazy oxen basking in ihe sun and chewing their cuds so quietly and con¬ tented, it was a picture of comfort and thrift that you would have gone ten miles to see, providing you have a love for these things—which you have of course, or you would fling aunt Patty aside after this first sentence.
Half a dozen of us village girls made a kind of e.xtemporancou.s home with aunt Patty. We spenta'imost evory wintereve- ning at her frre-side, and it sometimes hap¬ pened.—1 beg the reader to believe it was pure accident always—that some three or four of the other sex would drop in and make Ihemselves quite at home also. Of course we were very much cistonished at this coincidence of taste and circumstance, and when these strange things began to happen frequently, we became a little su¬ perstitious, and went again and again to be certain if there really was a destiny in it ornot, a question that has not been thor¬ oughly seltlfcd in my mind to this day.
One evening it was freezing cold, and just after we had assembled in the long Jiitchen which aunt Patty used in wmteras a sitting-room, a storm came up that pre¬ cluded all hopes of masculine society that evening. The wind howled around the house like an animal eager for its prey; hail and snow rattled against the windows, while the fretful and half whispered moau- iDg of the poplars as they complained to tbe rough elements, came distinctly to our ears.
But what cared we for the storm ! There was a blazing pile of hickory cracking cheerily in the great kitchen chimney- Bud a japan tray filled with luscious red apples stood on the hearth, the fruit mel¬ lowing in the warm fire-light.
Our joyous company sat  around  the huge chair so completely  filled by the good-natured old maid that a littlo of the oaken back alone could be seen rising, like a half spread fan, above ber broad shoulders.   We all had our knitting work, but one or two only were busy with it.— Two ofthe girls were counting apple-seeds and naming them for each other.   One was standing up in front of the fire with a foot on the lower round of herchair, wind¬ ing a skein of stocking-yarn which she had placed on the back, after tiring out asweet- tempered girl who had been holding it till her arms ached.   Another, Lizzy Parks, .the most mischievous, talkative, insinua¬ ting creature that you ever saw, sat on the . dye-tub caressing aunt Patty's cat, who erected her ears at every touch of that slender hand, and gave out a sleepy pur wbich would have made a less excitable party drowsy to hear.   Now and then Liz¬ zy would steal a sly glance at us from un¬ der her long eye-ltishcs, and then fall to caressing the cat again demurely as the animal herself.   We knew what was com¬ ing and waited tho event, for when Lizzy Parks took to conciliating the old maid's favorite, it was a sure preliminary to some request, which was very likely to be refu¬ sed unless great tact and discretion were exercised in making it.
Aunt Patty had been watching these movemcnls with a pleasant gleam of the eye, a slight, eager curve of her plump lips that bespoke her interestin tho object. ' There girls,' e.xclaimed Lizzy, as aunt Patty drew a deep breath, 'pass round the apples once more, and then aunt Patty will tell us about Mr. Smilh she saw down in York. This is just the night for it.— Everyihing snug and comfortable, and no danger of the young men dropping in to interrupt us.' Aunt Patty shook her head.   'No, no,
not to-night, the storm is enough to make ono melancholy without talking of old times,' she muttered,
'Dear aunt Patty there could notbe a better time,'we all e.xclaimed-, 'the storm is just the thing. It makes us onjoy the bright, warm file a thousand times more than usual. Come now, be good-natured this once, you promised to givo us this sto¬ ry about Mr. Smith, and we have wailed a long time—remember that.' Still the old inaid shook her head. 'I'llsettle it, wait a minute,' cried Lizzy dexterously peeling an apple in a way that left the rind one entire t:hain in her hand : 'see, 1 will fling this over my head, if it falls in an S aunt Patty shall tell us the story about her city lover, if it forms any other letter we will promise not to tease her: will you agree to this all-of you V
' Certainly, yes—yes,' we exclaimed all at once, very willing to stand the test, for as both ends of the rinds were curled op¬ posite ways it was next to impossible that any letter except an S could be formed by it.
'And you, aunt Patty," said Lizzy, hold¬ ing up the crimson rind, and swinging it slowly round her head—'do you agree to it!'
'Yes,'said aunt Patty innocently, 'out of twenty-four letters I stand a good chance. If it comes an S I'll toll tho sto¬ ry.'
Before she had done speaking Lizzy swung the apple sktn over herhead for the third, and if dropped at aunt Patty's feet a perfect S, and very prelty S.
'Now did you ever!' exclaimed the old maid, bending forward and gazing at the phenomena. 'It beats all—who would a thought it!'
' There, I thought how it would be,' said Lizzy sentontiously, 'come, girls, let us all take our knitting-work while aunt Pat¬ ty begins.'
We sat down, gathered our work togeUf er, and in a few minutes there was no sound to interrupt aunt Patty in her story .save the click of our needles around the hearth, and the storm raging without.
'Well,' commenced auntPalty, thrust¬ ing her needle in the crimson sheath at her side, and winding the yarn round her fin¬ ger: ' If you must hear it, the sooner it is over fhe better: but I never saw such aset of torments in my life—when you take a thing into your heads there is no getting rill of you.
' Well, as I was saying, if was—lot me see—^yes, it was tho very nexl summer af¬ ter my visit to Now York when par recei¬ ved a letter from young Mr. Smith, saying that his health had been delicate for some months, and if par would like it he thought of coming up into Connecticut and mak¬ ing his home with us awhile.
'I could hardly breathe while par was reading tho letter: when he got through and laid it among his old papers in the desk, I went and took it slyly away and read it over a thousand times before I went to bed. I slept with it in my bosom all that night, but instead of dreaming I lay awake fill broad day thinking of him, and almost crazy wilh the hope of seeing him once more. I don't believe that I had been an hour without thinking ofhim since my return home, and yet it was with a sort of sorrowful feeling as if I had buried a friend; but now when he was coming— when the paper his hand had touched lay against my heart—you needn'tsmile, girls, I wasn't half so fleshy as I am now—well, it seemed as if every line was playingover it like flashes offire, and as if my heart would never beat regularly again. Didhc come to see mel I kept asking myself that question every ten minutes for a fort¬ night.
'By and by another letter came—he would be at our house In a few days—I thought I should have died, it made me feel so dreadfully when the fime drew near. I began to get anxious about the way wo lived, and fried and tried to per¬ suade par info buying some new things for the house, but par was awful set when he took a notion into his head, and says he every time I mentioned the subjecf says he,
"Patty, child, don't make a fool of yourself. The house is good enough for your mother and me, and I rather guess it will have fo answer for your company.— Besides that, Patty, if I were to spend all I'm worth on the old house, you could no more make it appear like cousin Smith's than you could make cheese out of chalk. Act natural, Patty—act natural I and if you've a good heart and pretty, tolerable common sense, there is no danger but the highest of them will respect you, and a great deal more than if you fried to be what you never was brought up to.'
'Well, par would not help me a mite, so I was obliged fo get along as well as I could—we put out the dimity curtains to bleach for fhe bed in our spare room, and I took the skirt to mar's wedding gown, whitened it up and ruffled it round one of our smallest kitchen tables, and set it un¬ der the looking glass, just as I'd seen one at cousin Smith's. Louisa knit knew fringe for fhe window curtains, and without let¬ ting par know it I took this great China pitcher—standing here just now with the nider in it—and the punch bowl still in tlie cupboard yonder, and set them on a lilile table for Mr. Smith to wash in, for I was afraid he might think we had been bro't up in the woods if he bad fo wash in the stoop and wipe on the roller towel, wilh the work hands, every morning as wo did.   I cut off half the piece of hard soap from par's shaving box, though I knew he would make an awful noise when he found if out —and set it on the table in one of mar's best saucers, and after I'd covered tho ta¬ ble with our finest home-spun tov/els, it looked good as new I can fell you.   We scrubbed the floor till it was white as snow, and when Louisa had fastened the curtains lo her liking,   filled the fire-place with white pine and wild honey-suckle branch¬ es, and had woven a heap of asparagus all heavy with bright berries among the curli- ceus over the looking-glass, the chamber was nice enough for a king, I can tell you —there was not a speck of dirt from one end to the other,   every thing was span clean, and as white as a half blown lilly— but Louisa always put the finishing touch on every thing.   While I was taking mar up Jo see how we had fixed things,  she
went down Into Ihe garden and dame in vviih her apron full of roses to put on the loliel, for that is the name thoy give the fa¬ bles m white dresses down in York,
' Did I ever fell yoU how dreadfully hand¬ some our Louisa was. That d .y she was all in white, her short-gown was ralher coarse, but she had worked a Vino down the front and ruflled it all around. The weather was warm, and itwas thrown open atlhe neck, while the sleeves only came to her elbow, nol quite low enough to hidu tlie dimples when she moved her arm.^ She had set down on the stairs to tie up her roses, and you could see the pink shadows floating over horround arms while she was sorting fhe flowers from her lap. She had a lot of fhem I can fell you, and every time she took up the folds of her dimity skirt and shook the pile logether, we could see her two little naked feet as white as her dress, except that they were just then alit¬ tle rosy with the heat—for we did not wear stockings inHhe summer time those daysi and Louisa had loft her shoes down in the entry asshe came in.
'Mar and I stood watching her over the banisters when we heard the gate shut, and somebody coming,up fhe dooryard. Loui¬ sa did not seem to mind it at first, but all at once she started so quickly that half lhe roses went dancing down stairs; she lifted her foot to spring away, then seemed to re¬ member for the first lime thatshe had no shoes on, and sat down blushing all over, and almost crying. The front door was open, and thero, as true as I live, sood young Mr. Smith looking right straight at Louisa, and smiling as if he did not guess that she was only our help. I declare I trembled like a leaf, and it seemed as if I should drop when I run to my room and called mar to help mo slick up a little.
' By and by I went down, and there was Louisa sotting in the out-room with Mr. Smith, as independent as could be. She had contrived to get her shoes on ; bufshe kept changing color as if something was lhe matter with her yet.
'I felf awfully. What would Mr. Smith think at the idea of sitting in our out-ronm so sociably when he come to find out that Louisa was only our help. I could have fainted away right-there just as well as not. Mr. Smith seemed very glad to see me.— He shook hands with mar and kissed-me; right before her. You can't think how- frightened I was.   If seemed as if I shQiild
' cork and yellow as gold;   Arotlnd if stood plates of plekles, a little ball of buttef
blush myself to death: and there sat Jibu- isa blushing too, I don't know what for, nt was no concern of hers ! ''
' It was getting near dinner time, and we had nolhing cooked but hashed fish and Indian pudding, for par had gone off fo the upper farm with his work hands, and we had nothing but a picked up dinner. There was but one work hand near the house, a clever creature as ever lived, that hung about and did chores for us all the year around. While mar was talking with Mr. Smith I went out—Louisa, she followed me, and then I up and fold her a piece of my mind, about her setting down to enter- fain my company. 'Now,' says I, 'Miss Louisa it is high lime that you should learn to know your place. Hired help never think of setting down inthe room with com¬ pany, or even at the table in York,' says I,' and there is no sense in your setting yourself up to be better than the rest of tbem.'
Louisa turned pale, and 1 saw the fears fill her soft eyes, buf they didn't seem to touch my feelnigsjust then, and says I'now while Mr. Smith is here you can eat with the work folks, and i'f we want anything you can run in fo help us fo it, and then go away again.'
'' You have always been kind to me, Patty, said she, shutting up her eyelids to break up the tears that were just falling— 'I did not expect this, but if you insist on if I will not complain.' 'I hegan to feel sorry forher, and says I, ' Well, I dont want to be hard with you, only just stay inlo the kitchen and see fo things—perhaps Mike will wait on the table —it is more genteel fo have a man after all,'
' So out I went to find Mike; he was swingling flax in the barn-yard. When I told him what I wanted he sat down on the flax-break and wiped his forehead with his sleeves, and seemed loth to speak out. By and bye says he—
'' Well, Patty, I wasn't born to be ser¬ vant to servants, or a slave to anyone; but seeing as il's you I'll come in and give you a helping hand.'
'So rolling down his sleeves he shook the dust from his clothes, and went round to fhe well to wash up.
' Louisa had set the table in the out-room, the cloth was like a sheet of snow, andeve¬ ry thing looked nice as when she put it on the table. But I could see thatshe felt bad yet. Her eyes were heavy with tears, and now and then I could see her lip tremble —but I kept saying fo my heart, 'what business has she fo set herself upl She ought to know her place,' and so I let her pass back and forth without saying a word about anything but the work.
'Before we sal down to dinner, I went out to see if Mike was ready.   He had his jacket on, and had washed himself head and all, till his long hair lay smoothly over his forehead down to his eyes, and wafer was dropping from the ends every minute. "Now,'says I 'Mike, remember and stand behind Mr. Smith's chair: put every¬ thing on his plate, and when he stops eat¬ ing take it away to the corner cupboard and bring a clean oTie.' "Just so,' says Mike. "Now do be careful,'  says I turning back, 'fry and be genteel this once, and I'll give you a double bladed knife the first time we send buffer and eggs to the store.'
"Never fear me,' says Mike, putting one hand deep in his pocket as if he felt the knife there alreadj'.
'I went info the out-room again fo see if everything was ready for dinner: Louisa had boiled some fresh eggs and made a sauce for the pudding, and every thing looked very genteel considenng. There was a plate nf hashed fish nicely browned over at one end of the table, with a dish of eggs on one side of it, and a plate of rye bread on the olher. In fhe middle of the table stood the pudding trembling in the dish where it had just been turned from fhe bag, and breaking open a trifle on ono side till you could see ifs heart as light as
stamped on the top with a bird perched on a branch, and notched round the edges, besides preserved plumbs and quinces without end.
'Mike came in and stood looking to see What chair Mr. Smith would take. Mar didn't seem to know what he was there for, and says she^>
'Set by and help yourself Mr. Smith.— Make yourself to home while you are here.'
' We sat down lo the table all but Louisa, and she went away up stairs and had a good crying spell, I dare say.
'The minute Mr. Smith sat doWh Mike took his plate and heaped a great pile of fish on it, then he cut an egg through the middle and left it to run over the fish, while he took the same knife and sliced off the large-t end of the pudding. There was not room enough on the plate, so he laid the pudding up over the fish and filled fhe edges with preserves. Then ho sot fhe plate down before BIr. Smith, took up fhe knife and fork, and while he was crossing them over the plate looked at me and winked one eye as much as to say—
' I rather think that double bladed knife is safe enough this time any how.'
' Then he put both hands on fhe back of our visitoi"s chair, and stood up behind him. just bending forward a little while he watch¬ ed Mr. Smilh as he pul the pudding on one side, and tried to push the pile of fish away from tlie preserves. My face was in a blaze, for I could see that cousin Smith hail as much as he could do to keep from laughing righl out—mar. she helped herself as if nothing were the mailer. I trod on her foot and made a sign to Blike that he must help ns, but she .spoke right out—
"Good gracious.' says she, 'Palty how you have hurl my foot,' and Mike, instead of helping u.s, thought that I wanted him to do something for iVIr. Smith; so he snalched the knife and fork from his hand, and began to mince up the fish right and left with both el¬ bows squared as if he was raking a flower bed.-
'' Mike,' says mar, ' why on earth don't ypu get a chair and set fol' for she couldn't fell whal to think ofhis standing that way, so she moved along to make room. Mike shook his head and made faces at her whUe/h.e minced away at fhe fish "more fu- rioju'sly' than ever. At last he pushed the plate back fo BIr. Smith and gave me an¬ other triumphant look. I really thought I shotild'have died on the spot, and it was as much as I could manage to keep from bursting right out a crying.
' 'Mike,' says I at last, as well as 1 could speak, ' will you help me to some fish ?'
"Well,' says Blike, putting his hand info one pocket and deliberating half a ininute —' it wasn't exactly in the bai^ain that I should waif on the women folks too, but if you'll agree to throw in a handful! of tobacco with the knife, I won't be partic. ular this once.'
" If really was too bad. I burst out a crying in good earnest, left the table and ran up stairs, feeling as if I never could speak to cousin Smith again.
'Towards night par came home with all the work hands. Mike fold hiin who had arrived as he came through the barn-yard, and in he ran wilhout his coat and in his home-spun clothes. I went down stairs to beg him to fix up a little: but Mr. Smidi was standing at the back-door, and there were all the workmen round the well, close by, washing together out of the tin wash-basin, and par in fhe midst—ho come up to fhe sfoOp, wiped himself on the brown towel, and going up fo fhe door shook hands a full minute with cousin Smith, and would you believe if, he went right in to supper with the workmen, and set down to a dish of cold pork and beans, just as if fhe table hadn't been set out for us in fhe spare room. I declare it hurts my feelings fo say, but Mr. Smith would go into the kitchen wilh par and set down to the long fable. It was foo much: for just then Lousia came down to supper with the hands and he made room forherbetween himself I and par, and helped her to everyihing as genteelly as if shehad been a York lady. I rather guess I didn't speak foMissLouisa that night again.
'Well, at last milking time came on. i had always helped Louisa and mar do up the chores, but this time I got my sewing- work and sat down by the window, as ifl had never seen a cheese tub in my life. Mr. Smith sat close by me, looking out of the window, when he saw Louisa and mar go down fhe yard with her pails. He smil¬ ed, and said as if to himself.—'how fresh and pretty.' I thought he wets thinking aloud about me: thecolorburned up to my face, and I began to tremble, for we were all alone in the room.
'' What fine cows you have,' he said at last, leaning over the window sill—' do you go out fo milk with your mother V
'' Oh certainly not,' says I, ' we leave such work to our help.'
" I am sorry,' says he, faking up his hat, 'the air is so sweet, and everything looks so lovely, I must run away. Your mother has just taken her milking-stool from fhe fence, I will go and carry it for her.'
'Out he went through the door-yard, and sure enough he did carry mar's stool for her going ; but when tbey all came back he had Louisa's pail foaming over with milk inonehand, and hersfool in the other. I thought i should have dropped down, I felt so dreadfully.
'The ne.xt morning mar went up to the kitchen chamber were the loom and wheel were kept. She had a piece of linen in the gears and wanted me fo go up and wind quills for her, but I just took her on one side and told her not tu think of such a thing, and made her promise that while cousin Smith staid she would never men¬ tion house-work to me in his hearing.
She took Louisa up to help her, and I sewed a pattern to a peice of muslin, and sat down in the out room with my hair curled and a silver thimble on as if I had never done anything but work cuffs in my life. BIr. Smith came inlo the room, walk¬ ed up and down atvhile then took a paper and read alittle; but he seemed restless all the fime, andat la.sfwentup tohis room, pretending to want somelhing there. He staid and staid fill I thought he must have gone to sleep
went up to fhe kitclien dhambei' lo see how mar got oh Wilh her weaving. When I got to the top ofthe staifs, as ti'ue^ t lite there was cousin Smith by Louisa's quill wheel, the skein of tow yarn had got tang¬ led on the swift's and he was bendingdown fo help her set il to rights. I saw his lips move as if he wefe Saying something; but the loom made such a noise 1 cotild Hot hear not a word. Louisa did not seeirito answer, bufshe blushed Up to her forehead: there was a soft sparkle in her eyes its thd long lashes droopedoverthem, andasmile just dimpled her lips. I would have given all creation just fo haVe known what he was saying. 1 went down stairs again and took up thy workj but if was a long fime before I took a stitch, t can tell you;
Well it is of no use felling you all thai happened during fhe four weeks that he staid with us. Every night he was out in the clover lot standing by Louisa while she did her milking; he would eat in fhe kitch¬ en, and read to her half the morning when she was spinning on the little flax wheel, though he was obliged to read very loud fo drown the noise ofthe flyers. I had made him believe that I did not know how to do any kind of work, and so there I sat in fhe out-room working on the concerned old cuffs and crying my eyes out.
'One day I went up stairs to ask mar for something. She had gone down to see about dinner, and there was cousin Smith with Louisa all alone in fhe chamber. He was talking to her earnestly, she had .stop¬ ped her wheel, and bending her face close fo tho spool, pretended to be moving her thread from one hook to another further down-fhe flyer—her hand was so unsteady that she only tangled tho yarn and her lit¬ tle foot shivered on fhe foot-board till it made the wheel tremble all over. At last .she gave him one look, covered her face with both hands, and burst out a cryingti Just then cousin Smith saw me. ..J
"Come hero, Patty: come, my kind! cousin,' says he, holding his hand out to' me, ' come and convince this sweet girl that my parents have no prejudices such as she dreams of. Tell her how kind and good they are!—how happy they will be to receive her if she consents fo go to them as my wife.'
'I gasped for breath, and should have sunk fo the floor but for mar's loom which I fell against.
"You can fell her that this desire to make her my wife is no sudden fancy. You who praised her so much while in New- York, and made me love her unseen, cou¬ sin, you must plead for me,' as he said this Mr. Smith put his arm around my waist and drew toward Louisa. She raised her eyes, and a poor frightened looking thing she was. I did not hate her, for my heart was so heavy that it seemed to have no feeling. I said something, I don't know what, and fried fo get away down stairs.
'If is no use felling you anymore, girls,' said aunt Patty, wiping her eyes with the corner ofher immense cambric cape. 'You know how it all ended well enough, for all of you saw BIrs. Smith when she was here three years ago—and you aro pretiy well aquainted with the fact that I afn an old maid, 1 reckon by this time.'
There was a kind of sentimental bitter¬ ness in these closing words which gave us to understand that aunt Patfj' had not quite forgiven her mother's help for depriving her ofa husband even then.
' And did }'ou never get another offer 1' enquired Lizzy, looking roguishly up through her eyelashes.
'Yes,' said aunt Patty, with a bright twin¬ kle of her little eyes: 'Mike offered him¬ self sometime that summer, buti gave him the tobacco and fhe double bladed knife, and that pacified him,' said she, with alow, mellow laugh that .shook fhe chair beneath her.
It was difficult to tell whether the sigh that followed that last laugh partook most of regret for the past or of satisfaction with the mature comforts which were left to fhe old maid.

HAMERSLY & RICHARDS, Cenlre Square, near the Market House,
The expressions rich bluod, and j-oor blood, have a scientifc basis. The ri'Jiculc which many have attempted to enst on these common sense opinions., mu.-I rcroii upon themse'ves as surely as that Truth wdl prevnit.
^ HE effect of this celebrated rnedi-
=3 Cine is to purify the blood; to convert the poor, corrupt hlood, into healthy, rich blood. And it is becauEC they do this that they have been so steadily sought afier by all classes of our ciiizens who have required medicine. And it is because of the power Brandreth Pills arc now known lo possess Qs hcalth-realorcrs, that renders them so popular.
They cure all affections, simply because they make (he blood pure—abstract out of it thoBu qual* itiea vvhich produce disease, and give to it those which produce health.
Now every solid pari of the human frame is made from ilie blood and the food we eal is con- verted mto blood to supply the waste our bodies are continually pustaining. So in the ordinary course of oalurc we maufaclurc our entire bodies in about nine years from the food taken into our slomachs. Suppose the blond mado in this stom¬ acli of ours U unsound, impure, occasioned by some cause or other; it may refer lo the preced- ing generation; nomatter, we make impure blood, and if so cannot be healthy. Or suppose the air we have lived in for some time has been loaded with matters dctrimenlal to healih, or our food for a long period has been of an unwholesome kind, or that the mind has been much troubled— for grief, anxiety, ^r great ajlention lo any partic¬ ular point is sure tu occasion bad effects on the blood. Any of ihcie causea cxisiing, goud blood cannol be supplied to the body.
But lel Brandreth's PilU be used daily under these circumstances in doses of from two lo six pills, or a'ithe case shall determine. What is their effect? It is lo carry off lhe impure matters from the blood, leaving only lhe good to renew every part of the body. Whal was unsound now be. comes sound, and the stomach soon gets into so heulihy a condition that even bad air or unwhole¬ some food for a time are unoble to injure the health muierially. Even when the climate or Ittod continue unhealthy, the occasional uae of the Brandreih's Pills will seperate lhe impure parts and cause their expulsion, leaving what is good lo supply life and .strength lo the body.
When the bonea nre diseised, when every ram¬ ification of the frame is out of order, the Bran- lirclh's piMs, will in nineteen cases out of twenty CURE. Remember that tbe body can be entirely remade from the food, bones and all; und aided by this most beneficent medicine, in a quarler of the time it takes in the ordinay course of nature- In from two to four years an enlirely new healthy body can bo exchanged for the unsound, the dis¬ eased, the miserable one. The slowness or quick¬ ness of lhe change altogether depending upon the effect the Brandreth's Pills are rrade to produce; which effect con be graduated just as the patient pleases. No pui>sible injury can result from this^; nolhing but good can follow. Enquire the effect of Brandreth's Pills among your unprejudiced friends; you will hear sufficient to satisfy you tliat there is no rioe in making the trial, and thai you will not bo doing yourself justice without il
When your blond is once pure nothing inthe shape of food will hardly come amis; nothing will sour upon your stomach; you may eat pies, or anything in rea«on ; and the greater variely of food the belter blood is made. All who have weak siomat-hs, who are dyspej-lic, or in any way affilct- eil in body, should wilhoul delay resort tu Bran¬ dreth's Pills—which wiil indeed atrengihen the life principle, and by perscverence with them, en^ lirely renew tbe v*hule body; the materials in it good, will be kept so; those bad, displaced and removed. Good Blood cannot make bad bone or bad flesh. And bear in mind, the Brandreih's Pills surely purify the Blood.
The methoJ of preparing lhe Brandrethian Vcg. ctable Extracts is secured by Leiters Patent of the Uniled States—Patent granled lo Benjamin Bran¬ dreth, 20 ih January, 1843.
The extracts of which BrondretVs Pills are comiK)3ed are obtained by this new patent process, without boiling or any application of heat. The aclive principle of tho herbs is thus secured the same as it is in the living vegetable.
