ADDRESS TO AMERICAN PEOPLE.
Fellow Citzens:-At a time like the present.
when our country is literally flooded with nostrums
brought from foreign climes, you may perhaps
think it act OF temerity in 10 offer as can
ddate for your favor and patronage, Medicine
which is strictly AMERICAN. Common sense,
however, teaches u.s. that those herbs which spring
spontaneously from native soil, must be better
adapted to constitutions than foreign medicines
however useful the latter may have been in the
countries to which they belong. The climate OF the
United States stands unrvalled for the production
of medicinal plants, and very little investigation
will suffice to convince the most skeptica that our
country is able 10 supply all our wants, inde-
pendent Of foreign assistance.
Deeply impressed with the importance of the n
boye mentioned facts we ven ture recommend the
INDIAN PURGATIVE to the patronage of our
fellow citizens in every section of the Union, as a
natural remedy, applicable to our constitutions, and
competent to cure every durable disease.
In bringing medicine before the public for the
first time il is generally thought necessary 10 i'm
press the people with idea of the difficulties en-.
countered in its discovery, the antiquity Of its
origin thus one tells that his medicine is 90
newly discovered chemical compound, the result Of
many years intense study and scientific research;
and another ascribes the honor to somebody's
Grandfather, DC. Now, as the success Of medi-
not on the time or manner in which it dscov-
cred, cannot see the use OF classifying, for the
purpose of investing its rgin with fictitious anti
guilty. Such auxiaries are not needed on the
present occasion, a single dose of the Indian Pur
gative will suffice to convince every invalid (and
to such only look for impartial verdict) that
its curatioe effects intellectually superior TO those
of amy other medicine now in use. Proud OF this
superiority, we scorn fictitious aid, but give 1t TO
the world for hat it is, SIMPLY A compound OF
FOUR SIMPLE HERBS, used for the cure of dis,
ease bv THE COPPER COLORED WARRIORS
OF THE WEST. One of the herbs is expecto-
rant, one sudorifc, diuretic, and one cath
tic. The proper combination of the above forms
medicine, of such EFFICACY and POWER as
has been hitherto unknown in the art of healing.
Its mode Of curing is first to neutralize all putrefac
tive matter in the body second to the ex.
pusion of the same through tho proper outlets,
provided by nature for that purpose ; consequently
its action is not confined to the bowels, although
it is greatest there, but extends TO the nosrils,
throat, salivial glands, lungs, shin and kidneys.
Each Of the above drains is intended by nature
for the discharge OF an excreton or lmpurity pecu
liar to itself, and although may for a time
pei the constitution to evacuate the whole whole
through one drain, such treatment cannot fail to
derange the mechanism of the body, aud utterly
ruin the health of the patient. 1t is that all
diseases arise from impurities OF the blood, but it is
also true that nature has provided many different
channels for the discharge of these impurities
therefore we not likely to benefit the patient
by tramplng the laws OF nature in bringing all
the different kinds of excretory matter through
channel hence the evil of attempting to cure all
diseases by course of sweating or vomiting, or
physicing or any other method which opens only
I one class of eXcretorles.
| No medicine deserves to be called Universal
Remedy unless its effects extend to each and every
one of the natural drains and this power is not ev-
/ en- claimed by any medicine except the Indian Pur
gative. In accordance with these several proper
ties the operation of the Indian Purgative is regu
lated by the state of the patients body. Thus, If
the obstructing matter is lodged in the urnal ex-
cretories, 1t will act diuretic ifin the bronch
ial vessels pulmonary excretories, it will induce
expectoration if in the cells of the Gel mem
brane sXcretores of the skin, gentle and eec-
ual perspration will be kept up; and, under every
| combination of crcums tances, it will act more or
less a cathartic. Here it is proper to remark,
that although the purgative always induces an in
creased number of alvine excavations, and IS capa
BILE of overcoming the most obstinate cases OIL
costiveness, it does not raise "hurricane in the
bowels nor waste the healthy juices by overactlon
Its effects extend 10 every part OF the system, aho
for that reason not liable to oyeraction in any
part.
by medicines which produce the effects above men
toned. Every system of practice is more Of
less perfect in proportion to its power OF acting OF
the different excretories and the Indian system
claims pre-emnence only because II possesses th'
power of opening, and keeping open all the natura
drains.
! The inestimable value of medicine which
will all the excretories, at one and the SAM
time, is more apparent when we reflect that the hu
: man body is a complicated machine, consisting o
, numberless different and distinct MEMBERS all o
which intimately connected, and mutual
dependant, that no part can be injured withou
producing corresponding degree of injury on ev
. cry other part; therefore, part of the bod
cannot be diseased, and another part healthy )
neither can one part be cured while another par
remains diseased. Disease begins in the blood, an
the blood flows to every part Of the system, eve
ry part of the system must become or less dis
ed ; no disease is cured unless the cause is remove
and to remove the cause we must restore the bloc
to healthy state, and if the blood is made health
every part of the body mast be the same
