The incslirnable value Of the medicine which

tho human body is complicated machine,
consisting of nnmberless different and distinct
members all ofwhich are so intimately connected
and mutually dependent, that no ono part can be
injured without producing a corresponding degree
ofiniury every otI part; therefore any Of the
body cannot be diseased and another part healthy;
neither can one part be cured while another remains
diseased. Disease begins in the blood. as the bloc
flows to cqery part oftho system must become more
oil less diseased no disease is cured unless the cause
isremoved, and to remove the canse we must restore
tho bloo Cd TO healthy state. and if the blood IS
made heal thy, every part CT the body must be the
tame.
We hive now illustrated the natural or Indian
system of practice aud the more it is investigate
The more reasonable it appears. regarcs ts truth
we have only 10 to reflect that it was by Ma

stands in need of nourshng, we are in PEELED by
hunger TO cat, and when is diseased, are i'm
peltod by instinct to use medicine; and there cannot
he doubt that if a m1n lived in state of nature,
this instructive feeling would always direct us ia
The PROPER MEDI CINE; hence the superiority
of the Indian System. The art of healing was first
learnnd in the woods and TO this day the untutorcd
savage is the best medical teacher; for the Indian
practice is the only which is consonant to these
eternal and i'm nutab'e laws which govern the amin
