ADDRESS TO THE AMERICAN PEOPLE

FELLOW Citizens.
AT time like the present, when country is liter
ally flooded with nosfrums brought from forcgn chimes,
you may perhaps think it of temerity in US offer,
as 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 our
siutions than foreign medicines however useful the
latter may have been in the countries which they be-
long. The climate of the United States stands unrivaled
for the production of medicinal plants and very little
investigation will suffice 10 convince the most skeptica
that Our country is able to 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
our constitutions, and competent cure every durable
disease
In bringing medicine before the public for the first
time, is generally thought necessary impress the
people with idea Of the difficulties encountered in
discovery or the antiquity of its origin; thus tells
that his medicine is ga newly discovered chemical
pound tile result OF many years intense study and scet
fc research; and another ascribes honor somebody's
GRANDFATHER,&c Now, az the success of medicine
must depend on lis intrinsic meri s, and the time
or manner in which it was discovered not see
the use OF iaslyng for the purpose of investing its ORR
gin with fictitious antiquity Such xiaries are not
needed on the present occasion, single dose of the
Indian PurgatIre will suffice to convince every invalid
(and TO such only we look for impartial verdict that
its curative effects incidentally superior to those Of
any other medicines in use. Proud of this superb
orty, scorn fictitious add but give it the world for
what 1t is-SIhPLY a compound of FOUR SIMPLE
HERBS, used for the of disease bv THE COPPER
COLORED WARRIORS OF THE WEST. One of
the herbs is expectorant sodoric ,one durec
tic, and one catfarc. The proper combination of the
above forms I'm ant putrescen and deohstruent med inc,
Of such EFFICACY and POWER as has been hitherto
unknown in the art of healing. Its mode of curing is
first to neutra1e all utrefaclve in the body;
ond to cause the expulsion of the through the prop
er outlets provided by for that purpose
quenty its action is confined TO the bowels, although
it greater there but extends the nostrs, throat
sa.ial glands, lungs, skin and kidneys.
Each of the above drains is intended by nature for the
discharge Of an excrelon peculiar to itself, and although
we may tor time compel the constitution evacuate
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 that all diseases
rise from impurities of the blood, bur it is also true that
nature has provided many channels for the discharge Of
these impurities; therefore likely 10 benefit
the patient by ampng the laws of nature, in bring
ing all the different kinds of excreiory matter through
one channels hence the evil of attempting all dis
eases by course of sweating, vomiting, physcng
any other method which opens only class ofexcre
tories.
No medicine deserves to be called Universal Rene
dy unless It's effects extends each and every of the
natural drains and this power claimed by any
medicine except the Indian Purgaye In accordance
with these several properties the operation of the Indian
Pursatve Is regulated by the state of the patients body
Thus II the obsructins lodged in the urinal OK
creores it will diuretic; fin tile bronchial ves-
sells or pulmonary excreores it will induce copios spit
ting; if in the cells Of cellular membranes or excretores
OF The skin, gentle but elecual perspra ion will be
kept mp; and, under every combination of circumstances
1t will act more or less caartic Here it is prop
er to remark that although the purgave always induces
an increased number of avine evacutons and is caa-
BILE OF overcoming the obstinate OF cosyeess
1t does MOI raise hurricane in the bowels,
healthy nv Ax
to every part OF The system, and Tor that
liable 10 overacton in any part.
No disease was or ever will be cured unless by
medicines which produce the effects above mentioned
Every system of practice is less perfect, in pro-
portion 10 It's power of acting the different excreo
res; and the Indian system claims prominence only be-
cause It possesses the power of opening, and Keeping
open all The natural drains
/ The inestmable value of a medicine which will act
on all the cretores and at the time, is
more apparent when reflect that the human body is
complicated machine, consisting Of numberess different
and distinct MEMBERS all of which intimately
nected and mutually Deepen liant, that part be
injured without producing corresponding degree of i-
jury on every other part therefore part of the body
cannot be dlseassd ndanoer part healthy neither
one part he cused while anosr part remains diseased
Disease begins in the blood, and as the blood flows
every part Of the system become less dis
eased no disease is cured unless the cause is removed
and TO remove the cause restore the blood
healthy state, and if the blood made healthy, every
part Of the body must I've the same.
We have now Illustrated the natural or Indian system
Of pra ticc, and the it is investigated the more re-
asonae appears as regards its truth, have only
to reflect that it taught by NATURE, and therefore
be true. When the body stands in need of hour
ising are mpelled by hunger eat; and when it is
diseased, we uIpeIlel BY instinct to use medicne
and there cannot be doubt that If we lived in state of
nature, this instructive feeling would always direct
the PROPER MEDICINE; hence the superiority of
the Indian system The art ofheang first learned
in the woods and to this day the unutored savage is the
best medical teacher; for the Indian practice is the only
which is consonant those eternal and immutabe
laws which govern the animal economy.
Having already proved that the Indian Purgatve acts
in direct accordance with the LAWS OF NATURE,
and is therefore equal the oeyery durable disease
we will now ennerale few of the COMPLAINTS for which
il has been tried, and found certain cure among tn In
dams, and white settlers Of the far West. These

Besides the above it has been found invaluable in the
diseases of infants that in the settlements of the
Far West, where the Inhabitants keep il const inty be-
side theh the children brought up in good health,
without any assistance from Medical Men. To sum ND
the character of the Indian Purgative in few words
it is only necessary state that it possesses every
rat property which be possessed by medicine viz:
