w known fact, that every disease, whether
il he in the head or feet, in the brain or meanest
member, whether il bc an outward ulcer or an
inward abscess, are all, though arising from many
causes, reducible 10 this one grand effect namely,
impurity Of the blood. For on the healthy or un-
healthy condition Of the Stomach and Bowels en-
tirely depends the rure or impure state OF the
blood. ard consequently tho healthy or unhealthy
state of the body.
| II hath 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 renotest extremities, the head
with its master organ, the brain. being in no wise
more distinguished than the foot in this particular.
How can we then deny the great and leading
TRUTH that there is a reciprocal influence between
mind and body' The fact is evident-whelhcr
the one is only modification Of she other will
always continue mystery in this state OF exist
encc but our comfort, our repose, nay, even our
social and domestic happiness depends upon the
state Of our hillary aud digestive organs-and the
ina cement and cure Of the disorders Of the mind
must be made by application to the body.
Were we content 10 follow nature, Ia assist her
in her manifest struggles, what mighty results
might she not effect Every thing would arrange
itself in order as it were Of course, and the whole
work is half done as soon as it be once undertake
en-. "Purge out the old Ieaven that you may
become new lump" is the language Of script
urea figure applied spiritually by some, but
how could il have any force unless sanctioned by
practical experience in the body Of matter? In
stinct n more uncrrng guide than our much
boasted reasoning faculty, prompts the horse TO
eat tli0rns, thistles, &c. sc. for the purpose OF
purg,tion. In like manner, the dog, the cat, and
all our domestic animals, whose habits can be
thn fall nap cnsfIy
making selections Of those herbs which are suiia-
BILE to open their bowels and purify their fluids.
Do we not observe that the feaihercd tribe, whose
stomachs act by mechanical force alone, without
the solvent fluid Of the gastric juice, require the
swallowing and retaining of stony PARTICLES IN pro-
portion to their bulk, to promote digestion and
produce a healthy tone in their fluids, by evacua-
ton?
These animals Of tho brutal race, by thus as.
sisting nature, secure themselves from epidemic
ntagion-ihough they nre under similar laws 10
those which govern the human economy. Purga-
ton, which is II word Of equivalent value with
publication, appears then to be n fundamental
principle Of nature. Are not the tides the daily
and periodical purifiers of the ocean, Are not
the tempess and tornadoes the purgntivos and
purifiers Of the air' DO we not habtualy re-
mark that f this principal Of commotion ceases
for a time TO operate, both water and air beco,nc
stagnant. And if the circulation Of thy blood o
Man, should become languid, should the humOrs
accumulating in thy sluggish channels OF life, pre-
vent the healthy current, where Is thy remedy !
They must be driven down by the bowels, or il
not removed in time, they will soon choke up the
veins. the arteries, and every passage Of health
and vigor.
From such unquesiionabe facts as these. the
all important necessity Of watching diligently the
condition Of the stomach and bowels becomes
secevident and also the infinite value OF me-
dicine. which will carry Oft all obnoxious accu-
mutations from them, without weakening the sys-
TEN, and such n one is s-l'randeih's Vegetable
Universal Pills, which in England and America
have stood the test Of trial. and have performed
cures upon thousands of helpless persons, after the
usual scientific skill Of physicians had consoed
them with the assurance that they could do no
more. Their properties as an antibilious and
alerent medicine are unrivalcd /; oil who use,
recommend them their virtues surpass all eulO-
~, and must be used to he appreciated. The
weak and delicate will be strengthened by their
use, not by bracing. but by removing the cause
of weakness, the gross and corrupt humors OF the
body. They require no change in diet or care OF
any kind. Plain directions accompany each box
so tha, every one is his own competent physician.
