In bringing medicine before the public for the first
time il IL generally ,housh necessary 10 impress the
,eoe win an idea of the ifcutes encountered in Its
discovery or the antouity Of its origin; thus one tells us
that his medicine is ga newly discovered chemical
mound the result OF MANY wears intense study and scen
c research and another ascribes honor somebody 5
GRANpra THER,&c. Now, as the success of medicine
must depend on lis intrinsic merits, and the time
or manner in which it was discovered, not
the use of asfy for the purpose of investing its orr
gin with fictitious antiquity. Such auxlarles are not
needed on the present OCCASION as single dose OF e
Indian Pugative VIII sufhce to convince every Invalid
(and to such only we look for an impartial ve'dlc mat
its curative effects are intellectually superior to those OF
any other medicines now IN use Proud OF tins superb
GRITTY we scorn ctltous aid, but give It TO the world ior
what it s-SImPLY compound Of FOUR siMrLE
HERBS, used Tor the cure OF disease, ny The OUTER
COEOkED WARhiORS OF The WEST. Ohe OF
the herbs is an expectorant sodorhc one adurec'
tic, aud one acatharc The proper combination Of the
above forms AN anuputrescent and deobsueh medicine,
OF such EFFICACY and POWER as has been hitherto
unknown in the art of healing. Its mode Ut curing is
first to neutraze all purefacye matter in the body; Sec
ond the expulsion of the through the prop
outlets, provided by nature for that purpose; cose-
quent its action is not confined 10 the bowels, although
1t is greater there, but extends to the nostris, throat
sali,Ial glands, lungs, skin and kidneys.
Each of The above drains is intended by nature for the
discharge OF an excreton peculiar to ITSELF aud although
we may for time compel the constitution to evacuae
the whole through drain, such treatment cannot fail
to derange the mechanism of the body, and utterly rum
the health of the patient 1t is that all diseases
rise from impurities of the blood, but it also true that
nature has provided many channels for the discharge Of
these impurities; therefore we likely TO benefit
the patient by ampng the laws of NATURE in bring
ing all the different kinds of excreory matter through
chanc hence the evil of Attempting to cure all dis
eases by of sweating, vomiting, or physclng,
OF any other method which opens only one class oil excre-
tories
No medicine deserves TO lie called Universal Rene
DIV unless its effects extends 10 each and every one the
natural drains and this power is not even claimed by any
medicine except the Indian Purgatiye In accordance
with these several propertes the operaton of the Indian
Pursaye is regulated bv the state Of the patients body
Thus il the olstructns matter is lodged in the urna tx
cretores it will act as diurec: lin the bronchial YES
sells or pulmonary excretores win induce copous spit
tng if in the cells of cellular membranes or excetores
of the skin, gentle but effecua perspraton will be
kept w; and under every combination Of circumstances,
it will act more or less as catharc. Here is prop
er to remark that although the purgatve always induces
an increased number of aIvine and capa-
BILE of overcoming the most obstinate OF cosiveess,
it does raise hurricane in the bowels,
the healthy juices by over evacuation Its effects extend
to every part OF the SYSTEM and for that
liable to overacton in any one part.
No disease was ever will be cured unless by
medicines which produce the effects above mentioned
Every system Of practice is less perfect in pro-
portion TO its power of acting the different excleto-
res; and the Indian system claims preemnence only be-
it possesses the power of opening, and keeping
open all the natural drains
The inestimable value of medicine which will ac
all the excretores at and at the same time, il
apparent when reflect that the human body is
complicated machine, consisting Of numberless different
and distinct members, all of which intimately coli.

injured without producing corresponding degree Of In
jury every other part; therefore part Of the body
cannot be diseased and anotherpart healthy; neither can
Disease begins in the blood, and as the blood flows
every part Of the system become more less dis
eased: no disease is cured unless the removed

healthy state, and if the blood is made healthy every
part of the body must be the same.
We have now illustrated the natural Indian system
of practice, and the more 1t is investigated the more
asonabe it appears; regards IFS truth, have ony
to reflect that it taught by NATURE, and therefore
