w known fact, that every disease, whether
il be in tho head or feet, in the brain or meane't
member, whether il 6e an outward ulcer VI an
inward absccss, are all, though arising from many
causes, reducble to this one grand effect namely,
impuriiy Of the blood. For on the healthy or un-
healthy condition Of the Stomach and Bowels en-
iirely depends thl pure or impure state of tho
blood. and consequently the healthy or unhealthy
state Of the body.
1t bath been clearly proved in former advertise
ments that the stomach and bowels are the sover-
eigns Of the body, and that by them life or death
is propelled to its remotest exireinties, the head,
with s master organ, the brain, being in no wise
more distinguished than tho foot in this particular.
How we then deny tho great and leading
truth, that there is a reciprocal influence between
mind and body? Tho fact is evident whether
the one is .only modification Of The other will
always continue mystery in this state Of exist

making selections Of those herbs which are suita-

DO we not observe that the eathered tribe, whose
stomachs act by mechanical force alone, without

swallowing and retaining Of stony PARTICLES in pro-

those which govern the human economy. Purga-

Universal Pills, which in England and America
have stood the test Of trial, and have performed
cures upon thousands Of helpless persons, after tho
usual scientific skill Of physicians had consoled
them with the assurance that they could do no
more. Their properties as an ambitious md
aLerient medicine are unrivalled all who use,
recommend them their virtues surpass all euo-
ay, and must be used 10 be appreciated. Tho
weak and delicate will be strengthened by their
use, not by bracing, but by removing the cause
Of weakness. the gross and corrupt huInors OF the
body. They require no change in diet or caro- Of
any kind. Plain directions accompany each box,
NO that every one is his own competent physician.
