The other will always continue mystery in this d ata
OF exlsteRce; but thy comfort thy repose, nay ave.,
thy social and domestic happiness depends upon the
state OF thy hillary and digestive organs and the
management and cure of the disorders of the mind
must be made, by application to the body.

suits might she not effect Every thing would ar
range itself into order, as it Of course and the
whole work is half done, as soon as it be once un-

become a new lump" is the language of scripture;
figure applied spiritually by some but how could it
have any force unless sanctioned by practical oxpe-
renee in the body of matter Instinct, more I'M

of equivalent value with purication appears then TO
be fundamental principle of nature Are not the
tides the daily and periodical purifiers on the ocean
Are not tempests and tornadoes the purgatives and
purifiers of the air Do we not habtually remark

passage of health and vigor.
Remember therefore, o Man, from such un-
gu cstionable facts these the all important neces

mach and bowels, and consider the infinite value OF
medicine, which will carry off all nsxious accumua-
tons from them without weakening the system, and
which in England have stood the test of trial. and
have performed cures upon thousands Of HELPLESS
and hopeless persons after the usual scientific skN OF
physicians had consoled themwith the assurance MAT
they could do no more. Their properties as an anti
bilious and aperient medicine are unrivaled all who
