ADDRESS TO THE AMERICAN PEOPLE.
Fellow Citicens.
AT time like the present. when our country liter
ally flooded with nosrums brought from f0rcign chimes,
you may perhaps think of temery in 10 offers
candidate for your favor and patronage, Medicine
which is strictly AMERICAN. Common sense however,
teaches us that those herbs which spring spontaneously
from native soil, must be better adapted to oar con-
situations than foreign medicines, however useful the
latter may have been the countries to which they be-
long, The climate of the United States stands unrsalled
for the production of medicinal plants, and very little
investigation will suffice convince the most skeptical
that country is able supply all our wants, in-
dependent of foreign assistance
Deeply impressed with the importance Of the above
facts, we venture TO recommend the INDIAN PURGA-
TIVE the patronage Of our fellow citizens in every
section of the Union natural remedy, applicable to
constitutions, and competent to cure every durable
disease.
Ia bringing medicine before the public for the first
time it is generally thought necessary to impress the
people with idea of the difficulties encountered in Its
discovery the antiquity of its origin; thus tells
that his medicine is ga newly discovered chemical
pound the result Of many years intense study and scienti
c research; and another ascrbes honor to somebody's
&c. Now, az the success of medicine
depend on lis intrinsic merits and the time
or in which it was discovered, we not see
the of fasyng for the purpose Of investing its ORE
gin with fictitious antiquity Such auxilares are not
needed on the present occasion, single dose of the
Indian Purgave will suffice to convince every invalid
(and to such only look for impartial verdc that
its curative effects are intellectually superior to those of
any other medicines in Proud of this superb
GRITTY scorn fictitious add but give it to the world for
what It is-SIMPLY compound of FOUR SIMPLE
HERBS, used for the cure Of disease ,by THE COPPER
COLORED WARRIORS OF THE WEST. One of
the herbs is expectorant sodoricone adiurec.
tic and one catharic The proper combination OF the
above forms antputrescent and deobsruen medicine,
of such EFFICACY and POWER as has been hitherto
unknown in the art of healing. Its mode Of curing is
first to neutraixe all purefacive matter in the body
ond to the expulsion of the through the prop-
er outlets, provided by for that purpose;
qlenty its action is confined 10 the bowels, although
it greater there but extends to the nosrlls, throat
saivia glands, lungs, skin aud kidneys.
Each of the above drains is intended by nature for the
discharge of an excreon peculiar TO ITSELF and although
we may tor time compel the constitution evacuae
The whole through drain, such treatment cannot fail
to derange the mechanism of the body, and utterly ruin
the health of the patient 1t is true that all diseases
rise from impurities Of the blond, but it is also true that
nature has provided many channels for the discharge of
these impurities; therefore are likely to benefit
the patient by lramplng the laws of nature in bring
ing all the different kinds of excretory matter through
channel: hence the evil of attempting to all dis
eases by of sweating, vomiting, or physicng,
or any other method which opens only class oil excre-
tories.
dy unless its effects extends each and every of the
natural drains and this power claimed by any
medicine except the Indian Purgatiye. In accordance
with these several properties the operation of the Indian
Pusative is regulated by the state of the patients body
Thus if the olstrucns matter is lodged in the urna
cretories, it will duretic; ifn the bronchial yes
sells pulmonary excretories, it will induce copous spit
ting; il in the cells Of cellular membranes or excretories
of the skin, gentle but effeciual erspiration will be
kept up and under every combination Of circumstances,
it will act or less cathartc. Here 1t is prop
er to remark, that although the purgative always induces
increased number of avne excavations, and is capa-
bic of overcoming the obstinate OF costiveness
it does raise hurricane in the bowels, nor waste
the healthy juices by evacuation Its effects extend
every part Of the SYSTEM and for that reason are not
liable to overaction in any part. sr.
No disease will be cured unless by
medicines which produce the effects above mentloned-
Every system Of practice is less perfect IN pro-
portion its power of acting the different excreto-
rcs; and the Indian system claims prominence only be-
II possesses the power of opening, and keeping
open all the natural drains.
The incstimabe value of a medicine which will act
on all the excretores, and the time, is
more apparent when reflect that the human body is
complicated machine, consisting Of numberless different
and distinct members, all of which intimately con-
nected and mutually dependant, that part can be
injured without producing corresponding degree OF IN
jury every other par therefore part OF the bod,
cannot be diseased and another part heahly neither car
one part lie cured while another part remains diseased
every part of the system must become or less dis
eased: no disease cured unless the is removed
and to the must restore tile blood to
healthy state, and il the blood is made healthy, ever,
part of the body must be the same.
We have now illustrated the natural or Indian system
of pra tcc, and the it is investigated the more re
asonae il appears; regards its truth, we have on,
to reflect that taught by NATURE, and therefore
must be true When the body stands in need Of nour
isIling we are impeed by hunger eat and when it i
diseased, we are mpeled by instinct to medicine
and there cannot be doubt that if we lived in state
nature this instructive feeling would always direct us
the PROPER MEDICINE; hence the superiority 0
the Indian System. The ofhealing was first earne
in the woods and this day the untutored savage tn
best medical teacher; for the Indian practice is the onl
one which is consonaDt those eternal and immutabl
laws which govern the animal economy
Having already proved that the Indian Purgatlye act
in direct accordance with the LAWS OF NATURE
and is therefore equal the cure durable disease
