ADDRESS To THE AMERICAN PEOPLE
FelIo,v Clizens-At n time like the present.
when our country is literally flooded wan nostrums
brought from foreign cliines, you may perhaps
think it an act of lemerily mus TO oher as eau
dida,e for your favor and patronage Meu's .n
which is strictly AMERICAN. Common sense
however teaches US, that those herbs which sprhS
SPONTANEOUSLY from native soil, must De pe'tef
adapted to our constitutions than t0retgn medicines
however useful the latter may have been IN the
countries to which they belong Inc climate OF tno
limited States stands unrivaied for the production
OF medicinal plants, and very ittlo Investigation
will suffice to convince the most skeptcai That our
arm country is able 10 supply all our wants. 'hde-
pc ntent OF foreign assistance 80
Deeply impressed with the Importance OF the a.
hove mentioned facts ven turo 10 recommend Inc
INDIAN PURGATIVE to the patronage OF our
fellow citizens in every section oil tho Union, as
natural remedy, applicable TO our oons,"o"'' a"o
competent 10 every durable disease
In bringing a medicine before the public ior the
first time it generally thought necessary 10 in-
press The people with idea OF the difficulties en-
origin thus one tells us that his medicine IS i"
newly discovered chemical compound, the result o.
MANY years islense study and scientihc research;
and another ascribes the honor 10 somebody s

cine must depend It's own intrinsic merits, ana
not on the time or manner in which 1t was dscov-
cred we cannot see the use OF iaisiy ing, Tor the
purpose of investing it's origin with hctitious anu

nresent OCCASION as single dose of the Indian Fur.
gative will suffice to convince every Invalid (and
To- such only q look for an impartial verdcD that
its cuyatioe effects Incidentally superior 10 those
of ann other medicine now in use. Proud OF TINS
superioyity we scorn fictitious aid, but give It to
the world for what it is, SIMPLY compound Oh
FOUR SIMPLE HERBS, used for the cure OF DIS,

OF THE WEST One of tho herbs is an expecto-
rant, one sudorifc one diuretic, and one cath

pulsion of the same through tho proper outlets

its action is not confined to the bowels, ailhougI
it is greatest there, but extends to the nostriis

Each of tho above drains is intended ny nature
for the discharge of an excreton or lmPurity Pecu

derange the mechanism OF the BODY, aud utterly
ruin the health of the patient IL is true mat al
dseases al :se from impurities OF the blood, out IL
! olso true TINT nature has provided many dltteren
channels for the discharge of these impurities -
therefore we are not likely to benefit tho patien
by tramplIng on the laws oil nature III bringing al
the different kinds of excreory matter through on
channel hence the evil of attempting to cure al
diseases by a course OF sweating, or vomiting, Q
phvsicing or any other method which opens onl,
one class OF excretoIies
No medicine deserves to be called Uaiuersa
Pcmedv unless its effects extend to each and ever
one OF the natural drains and this power not ev
en- claimed by any medicine except the Indian Pur
| native In accordance with these several proper
ties. the operation of the Indian Purgatve is regu
lated by the state Of the patients body. Thus,
the obstructing matter is lodged in the urinal ex
cretories 1t will act diuretc itn the bronch
;nI vessels or pulmonary excreories, it will Undue
} expec,oration; If in the cells of the cellular mem
brane or excreories of the skin, gentle and effet
tual perspiration will be kept up; and, under ever
combination of circumstances, it will act more {
less as a cathartic. Here it IN proper to remark
that although the purgative always induces ir
creased number Of alyine excavations, and is cup;
! BILE of overcoming the most obstinate
costiv eness, it does not raise "hurricane in tn
bowels nor waste The healthy juices by overactlol
It's effects extend TO every part of the system, an

part. -
: by medicines which produce the effects above mel
toned Every system of practice is more
, less perfect in proportion to its power of acting
u the different excretores and the Indian syste

y power of opening, and keeping open all the naur
drains.
The inestimable value of medicine whic
will act all the excretores, at one and the san
. time, is more apparent when we reflect that the h
. man body is comp licated machine, consisting
;, numberless different and distinct members, all
. which are SO intimately connected, and mutual
der endant, that one part can be injured witho
producing corresponding degree OF injury
ery other part ; therefore, part OF the boz

neither can one part be cured while another pa
