NMT iiEREAS. it is now an absolute and well
Wv known fact that every disease, whether
il be in the head or feet, in the brain or meanesl
member, whether II oe an outward ulcer, Or an
inward abScess. are all, though arising from many
causes, rcducible TO this grand effect namely,
inquiry Of the blood. For on he healthy or un-
healthy condition Of the Stomach and Bowels en-
trey depends the ruro OF impure state Of the
blood. and consequently the healthy Or unhealthy
state Of the body.
II 1t hath been clearly proved in former advertise
ments that the stomach and bowels are the sovcr-
eigns Of the body, and that by them life or death
Is propelled ID lis renoest ox,remlties, the head,
with ils master organ, the brain, being in isc
more distinguished than the foot in this particular.
How can we then deny the great and leading
Truth, tia, there is reciprocal Influence between
mind aud body' The fact is e,dent-whehcr
the one is only a modification OF The other Will
always continue mystery Ia this state Of exist
enco but our comfort, our rcpose nay, even our
, social aud domestic Happiness depends upon the
state Of our hillary and digestive organs-and the
inanag cement and cure OF the disorders Of the nIl.d
must DO made by application to the body.
II Were No content to follow nature, to assist her
in her manifest struggles, what mighty results
might she not effect Every thing would arrange
ilser ia ORDER as il were Of course, and the whole
work is half done rs soon as il be once undertake
On. Purge out the old leayen 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? ln-
stinct, n moro unerring guide than our much
! boasied reasoning faculty, prompts tho horse 10
eat ihorns, lhisies, &c. sc: for the purpose OF
purga,ion. Ia like manner, the dog, the cat. and
| all our domestic animals, whose habits can he
noticed, wander through the fields when costive,
| making seleclions Of those herbs which are suita-
| BILE to open their bowels and purify their iiuids
/ DO we not observe that the feathercd tribe, whose
| stomachs act by mechanical iorce alone, without
the solvent fluid of the gastric juice, require the
swallowing and retaining Of stony PARTICLES IN pro-
| portion TO their bulk, to promote digestion aud
! produce healthy tone in their fluids, by esacua-
lion?
I These animals Of the brutal race, by thus as
sisling nature. secure themselves hom epidemic
coniag though they are under similar laws TO
those which govern the human economy. Purga-
ton. which is word Of equivalent value with
purilicaion, appears then TO be n Fundamental
principle Of nature. Arc not the tides the daily
aud periodical purifiers of the ocean Are not
the tempesis aud tornadoes the purgatives nnd
pur0ers of the air 1! DO we not habtudlly re-
mark that if this principal Of commoton ceases
| for a time 10 operate, both water and air become
s,agnant. And if the circulation Of Thy blood, U
| Man, should become langud, should the hunors
accu,nulatiug in thy sluggish channels OF lille, pre-
| vent the healthy current, where Is thy remedy

! not removed in time, they will soon choke up the
! veins, the arteries, and every passage OF health
and vigor.
H From such unqucslionabe facts as these. the
all important necessity Of watching diligently the
| condition Of the stomach and bowels becomes
| self evident and also the infinite value oi me-
dicine. which will carry Oft all obnoxious aocu'

cures upon thousands Of hol bless persons, alter the
usual scientific skill Of physcliEs had conso'cd
