ADDRESS TO THE AMERICAN PEOPLE.
FeUow Citizens.
At time like the present. when our country is liter
ally flooded with nostlums brought from torcign cmes
you may perhaps think it Of emerty in TO offer,
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, be better adapted to
situations than t0rclgn medicines, however useful the
ler may have been in the countries which they be-
long The climate of the United States stands univaled
for the production of medicinal plants, and very little
Investigation will suffice to convince the most skeptical
that o,cn country is able supply all our wants,
dependent of foreign assistance.
Deeply impressed with the importance of the above
facts, we venture to recommend the INDIAN PURGA-
TIVE to the patronage of our fellow citizens in every
section of the Union natural remedy, applicable to
or constitutions, and competent TO every durable
disease.
In bringing medicine before the public for the first
time, it is generally thought necessary impress the
people with idea Of the difficulties encountered in Its
discovery the antiquity OF its orgin thus tells us
that his medicine is ga newly discovered chemical COM
pound the result OF many years intense study and sclcnti-
c research and another ascries honor To somt body s
GRANDFATHER &c Now as the success Of medicine
must depend On its intrinsic merits, and not ON the time
or manner in which il discovered, we can not see
the Use OF iasing, for the purpose OF investing It's orr
gin with fictitious antiquity. Such auxiliarles are not
needed on the present OCCASION single dose OF the
Indian PuigatNe will suffice to convince every nNalid
(and to such only we look for impartial verdict that
It's curative effects intellectually superior TO those 81
any other medicines now III Use. Proud oi tins SUPERB

above forms aniputresecnt and 'coistren medi inc
ofsuch EFFICACY and POWER as has been hitherto
unknown in the art of healing. It's mode OF curing Is
first TO neurahe all putreaciye matter in the body sec
ond to the expulsion of the same through The prop
er outlets, provided by nature for iat purpose; colst
qneny It's action is confined 10 the bowels, although
is greater there, but extends to the nosrhs, threat
sali,al glands, lungs, skin and kidneys.
Each Of The above drains is intended by nature FOR t
discharge of an oxcreion peculiar 10 ITSELF and although
may Tor time compel the constitution 10 evaeuatt
the whole through draln such feamtn Mt cannot ai
TO derange the mechanism Of the body, and utterly ruiz
fhe health Of the patient. 1t is true that all diseases a
rise from impurities of the bord but it also true tina
nature has provided many channels for the discharge [
these impurities therefore are not likely TO bench
the patient by ranplng the laws Of Nature, IN bring
ing all the different kinds ofexcreiory matter tlnousl
one channel: hence the evil OF attempting to cure all dis
OF any other method which opens only class oi eXcre
tories.
No medicine deserves to lie called Universal Keme

natural drains and this power is cycmclaned by an
medicine except the lniian fugat,c. In aceordalc
