II hath been clearly proved in former advertise
mcnts that the stomach and bowels are the sover-

How can we then deny the great and leading
truth, that there is a reciprocal influence between
mind and body' The fact j, eyident-whether
the one is only modification Of the other will

encc but our comfort, our repose, nay' even our
social aud domestic happiness depends upon the
state Of our hillary and digestive organs-and the
mar agement and cure of the disorders Of the mind
must be made by application to The body.

in her manifest struggles, what mighty results

how could il have any force unless sanctioned by
practical experience in the body of matter! In

all our domestic animals, whose habits can he

DO we not observe that the feathered tribe, whose
