:" HEREAS. il il now an absolute and well
w known fact, that every disease, whether
il be in the head or feet, in the brain or meanest
member, whether il be an outward ulcer or an
inward abscess, are all, though arising from many
causes, reducible TO this one grand effect, namely,
impuriy Of the blood. For on the healthy or un-
healthy condition Of the Stomach and Eowels en-
tirely depends the pure or impure state Of the
blood. and consequently the healthy or unhealthy
state Of the body.
1t hath been clearly proved in former advertise
mcnts that the stomach and bowels are the soyer-
eigns of the body, and that by them life or death
il propelled TO its remotest eXtremties, the head,
with its master organ, the brain, being in wise
distinguished than the foot in this particular.
How can we then deny tho great and leading
truth, that thsre is a reciprocal influence between
mind and body' The fact is evident whether
the one is only modification Of the other will
always continue mystery in this state Of exist
enco but our comfort, our repose, nay, even our
social and domestic happiness depends upon the
state Of our hillary and digestive organs-and the
management and cure Of the disorders Of the mind
must be made by application TO the body.
/ Were we content TO follow nature, to assist her
in her manifest struggles, what mighty results
might she not effect Every thing would arrange
itself in order, as it were Of course, aud the whole
en-. purge out the old lesven that you may
become new lump" is the language of script
urea figure applied spiritually by some, but
how could il have any force unless sanctioned by
practical experience in the body of matter? In
stnct, a more unerrng guide than our much
boasfcd reasoning faculty, prompts the horse to
eat thorns, thistles, &c. &c. for the purpose OF
purgation. In like manner, the dog, the cat, and
all our domestic animals, whose habits can be
noticed, wander through the fields when cos,ivc,
making selections Of those herbs which are su,a-
ble to open their bowels and purify their fluids
DO we not observe that the Ieathercd tribe, whose
siomachs act by mechanical force alone, without
the solvent fluid Of the gastric juice, require the
swallowing and retaining Of stony PARTICLES in pro-
portion 10 their bulk, to promote digestion and
produce healthy tone in their fluids, by evacua-
ton
These animals Of the brutal race, by thus as
ss,ing nature, secure themselves from epidemic
contaeon though theSure under similar laws to
those which govern the human economy. Purga-
ton which is word Of equivalent value with
publication, appears then to be n fundamental
principe Of nature. Are not the tides the daily
and periodical purifiers of the ocean' Are not
the tompcsis and tornadocs the purgatives and
purifiers Of the air Do we not habitually re.
mark that if this principal of coInmolion ceases
! for a time TO operate, both water and air became

Man, should become languid, should the humor
accumulating in thy sluggish channels oil lilo, pre-
vent the healthy current, where Is thy remedy
\ They must bo driven down by the bowels, or
not removed in time, they will soon choke up tn
veins, the arteries, and every passage of healtl
and vigor
From such unquesionabls facts IA these. th

condition Of the stomach and bowels become
