ILLS
ADDRESS TO THE American 1Ec7LE.

Fello,o Citizens
AT time like the present, when cur country Is
literally flooded with noatnms brought from o'ei5n
chimes, you may perhaps think Il an aci oi tee'"y
in MS to Offer ns candidate for your s.or a:d pat
ronage, n Medicine which is sir.ctly AnENieAS
Common sense however, teaches us, That those
herbs which spring spontaneously lW.;i 0nr on"
native soil, must he better adapted 20 or consuu-
lions than foreign medicines, however Useful Inc
latter may have been in Il counties 10 whlen
they belong. Tie climate of the United states
stands unrvalled for tie production OF medicinal
plants and very little invesii CATION will suffice TO
convince the most skaptca that our o,on country Is
abe TO supply all cur v ants independent OF
foreign assistance.
Deeply impressed with the importance OF mo
above facts we venture to recommend the i.NDi'4'
PURG.3TIVE to the patronage OF our fellow c'l'-
zens in every section Of the country, rs natural
remedy, app cable to orr constitutions, and compa-
tent to the cure of every durable disease
Tn bringing medicine before the public for the I
first time, il il generally thought necessary 10 1-
press the people with an idea Of tie d.Dcnff9e7 en-
eountered in lis discovery or the aahIn'ty 81 It's
origin: thus one tells us that his medicine - 'sa
newly discovered ohemirn compound the result of
many years intense study ard scientific research
and another ascribes honor to somebody's CaAHD-
FATHER, &c. low as the success Of medicine
mnst depend on its intrinsic merits and not on fa
time mnnner Of is discovery; we cannot see the
use of falsifying for the purpose of investigating
its origin with E'ctcious antiquity. such auxii-
iaries not needed on tho present occasion, as
single dose oil the Indian PurgatIve VIII suffice To
convince every invalid land tie such ONLY we look
for impartial verdlc) that It's curative effects in
calcalaby superior TO those ofany ohcr medicine
now in use. Proud of this superiority, we scorn
4ectcious aid, but give il to the world for what rs
-SIMPLYa compound OF -FOUR slhPLG HERE'S, Used
for the cure Of diseaseo BIZ the COfPEt CCLOti-
ED WARRIORS CT THE WEST One OF the
herds Is an expectorant, one sodorhc, one dur
ATTIC, and one cathartic, the proper combination OF
tlie above Forms an antlpu'rcsent ard deobsiiuent
medicine, of such efficacy and power as has been
hitherto unknown in the art of healing. Its mode
cfeurng is first to noutra.ze all putreGctvo mat
ter in the body; second to cause the expulsion of
the same through the proper outlets, prnoded by
nature Tor that purpose consequently lis action is
not canhncd to the bowels, although it is gaeater
there but extends the nostrils, throat, salival
gands. lungs, skin and kidneys
Each OF the above drains is intended by nature for
the disc a,ge of an cxcretion peculiar to itself, and
although we may fer time compel the constitution
to cvacnato the whole through drain, such trent
ment cannot fail 10 derangc the mecanism Of the
body and utterly ruin the health ofthc patient. 1t
is true that all diseases arise from Impurities of the
blood but it is al 20 true that nature has provided
many channels FOR the discharge Of these impuri-
ties; therefore we are not likely 10 benefit the pa
tient by rnmpling on the laws OF nature, in bring
ing all the different kinds of excretory matter
through channel: hence the evil of attempting
to cure all diseases by course of sweating, or ply
scing, or any other method which opens only one
class of excretorics.
No medicine deserves to be callcda Universal rem
edv unless its effects extends 10 each and every
of the natural drains and this power is not even
claimed nv any medicine except the Indian Pur-
gativc In accordance with tese several properties
$50 oaeration of the Indian Pnrgatve is regulated
nv the stata CT the patients body. Tdus if the OBJ
siructng matter is lodged in The arnal oxpcctorles,
it will induced copous splitting, if IN the cells ofth
celuf,r membranes or excreores of the skin a gen.
fle but cffecual pcrsprafon will be kept up; and
under every combination of circumstances, it viii
act more or less as cathartic. Here it is proper
n remark. that although:lhe purgative always in
duees an increased number Of avine excavations,
md is capable of overcoming the most obstinate
cases OF costiycness it does not raise "huricane'
in the bowels nor waste the healthy Juices by
evacuation It's effects extend 10 evcIy part of the
system and fer that reason are not liable TO over
action in any one part
No disease ever was or ever will be cured unless
bv medicines which produce the effects above men,
,ioned EVERY system of practice is more or less
perfact in proportion to its power of acting the
different excetories and the Indian system claims
prominence only because it possesses tho power
ofopening and keeping open all the natural drains
The nestmable value of the medicine which
sv act on all the excretories, at one and at the
same time, il more apparent when we reflect that
the humln body is complicated machine,
consisting of nnmberless different and distinct
members, all ofwhich are intimately connected
and mutually dependent, that part can DO
injured without producing a corresponding degree
ofiniury on every other part; therefore any of the
body cannot be diseased, and another part healthy;
neither can one part be cured whlia another remains
