j FELLOW CITIZENSHIP a time like
the present, when our country is literally flood
ed with nostrums brought from foreign elirnes,
you may perhaps think il an act of temerify in
Us to offer, as candidate for your favor and
patronage, Medicine which is strictly AMER
IcAE. Common sense, however teaches us,
that those herbs which spring spontaneously
from our native soil, must be better adapted to
our constitutions than foreign medicines, how
ever useful the latter may have been in the
countries TO which they belong. The climate
of the United States stands unrivalled for the
production of medicinal plants, and very little
investigation will suffice to convince the most
skeptcal that our Otrn country is able to sup
ply all our wants, independent of ioIeign as
sistance.
In bringing a medicine before the public for
the first time, IL is generally thought necessary
10 impress the people with an idea OF the diff
euifies encountered in its discovery, or the an
iiquity of IFS origin; thus one tells Us that his
medicine is So a netciy discorered chemical
compound, the result Of many years. intense
study and scientific research" and another
ascribes the honor to somebody's GRAsDra-
Their, &c. Now, as the success of a medicine
must depend on its own intrinsic merits, and
not on the time or manner in which il was dis
covered, we cannot the use of classifying, for
the purpose of investing lis origin with ficfi-
tious antiquity. Such auxiIiaries are not need
ed on the present occasion, as a single dose Of
the Indian Puigatiye will suffice 10 convince
every invalid (and to such only we look for an
impartial vrrdici) that its caraiire effects are
Incidentally superior TO those OF any other med
icine now in use. Proud of this superiority,
we scorn fictitious aid, but give il III the world
for what tits, SIPMLY A compound Of FOUR
SIMPLE HERBS, used for the cure Of dis
essc, by THE COPPER CoLORED WAR
RIORS OF THE WEST. One ofthe herbs
is an exPeetorant, one sudorifc, one diu-
retie, aud one cafharfie. The proper COM
bination of the above forms medicine, of such
EFFICACY ard POWER as has been hiih-
erto unknown in the art Of healing It's mode
oil curing is first To nentralize all putrelactive
matter in the body; second TO cause the expul-
sion OF the same through the proper outlets,
provided by nature for that purposes; conse-
quentiy IFS acIion is not confined TO the bowels,
although il is greatest there, but extends Ia the
nostrils, throat, saiiyial glands, lungs, skin and
kidneys.
Each ofthe above drains Is intended by ma
ture for the discharge of an excTeiion or in,ru-
tity peculiar to itself, and although we NAV for
a TIME compel the constitution To evacuate the
whole through one drain, such treatment can
not iaii 10 dcrange the mechanism of the ,ody,
and utterly ruin the health of the patient. IL
rs true that all diseases arise from impurities of
the blood, but II Is also true that nature has
provided many different channels for the dis
charge of these impurities; therefore we are
not likely TO benefit the patient by trampling
on o the laws OF nature, in Bringing all the di-
'e'eht Kinds OF excretory matter through one
channel; hence the evil al attempting Ia cure
all diseases by course Of sweating, or yon,it
ing, or physicing, or any other method which
opens only one class of excTetories
no medicine deserves to be called Unirer-
sag remedy unless its effects extend TO each and
every one OF The natural drains, and this pow
~ Is mol even claimed by any medicine except
me Indian Purgatve. In accordance with
,n1 5s several properties, the operation of The
indian Purpative is regulated by the state of
me PATIENTS bdy Thus, If the obstructing
natter rs lodged in the urinal excretories, Il
VIII act as diuTetic: If in the bronchial YES
eis or pulmonary excretorics, il will induce ex-
'ectofailon; lin the cells OF the cellular mem
,'ahe OF excretores of the skin, gentle and ef-
ec.uni perspiraiion will be kept up; and, under
Ne'y cono'nauon oil circumstances, IL will act
more or less as cathartic. Here il is proper
o remark, that although the purgaiive always
induces an incf, ased number OF ayne evacua-
IONS and Is capable of overcoming the most
cases oil costiveness, il does not raise
" hurricane" in the bowels, nor waste the
eaiihy juices by over-action. Its effects ex-
e"u 10 every part OF the system, aud for that
es S are not liable to over action in any part
ne inestimabe value of a medicine which
vii act on all the excretories, at one and the
auie time, Is more apparent when we reflect
nat the human body is a complicated machine.
OF numberless different and distinct
'embeTs, all of which are SO intimately con-
ected, aud mutually descendant, that no one
All, can be injured without producing n COR
degree of injury ON every other
ART; therefore, one part of the body cannot be
seased' and another part healthy; neithercan
ne part be cured while another mart remains
seased. Disease begins in the blood, and as
'e o'oou nows TO every part of the system.
'e'y part OF the system must become more or
IS diseased; no disease is cured unless The
luse is removed, and TO remove the cause we
ust restore the blood to healthy state. and
.he blood Is made healthy, every part Of the
'dy must be the same.
