! Address TO AMERICAS PEOPLE.
Fellow Cilizens:-At n time like The present,
| when our country is literally flooded with nosrums
brought from foreign climes, you may perhaps
think it an act OF temerity in 10 offer as can
didae for your favor and patronage, Medicine
which is strictly AMERICAN. Common sense,
however, teaches us, that those herbs winch spring
spontan eousy from our naive SOIL must DC Delter
adapted to constitutions than foreign medicines
| however useful the latter may have been in the
countries to which they belong The climate of the
United States stands unrvaled for the production
OF medicinal plants, and very little Investigation
will suffice convince The most skepucal that our
oaon country is able 10 supply all our wants, inde
pendent of foreign assistance.
Deeply impressed with the importance OF the n
bove mentioned facts we venture TO recommend the
INDIAN PURGATIVE TO the patronage of our
fellow citizens in every sectionof the Union, as
natural remedy, applicable to our constitutions, and
petent to every durable disease
In bringing n medicine before the public for the
first time it Is generally thought necessary to i'm
press the people with an idea of the difficulties
countered in its discovery, or the antiquity al It's
oil gin thus one tells us that his medicine is
newly discovered chemical compound, The result OF
many wears Intense study and scientific research;
and anorho, aSctihes the honor 10 sOmc6OdyS

purpose of investing its origin with fictitious anti

to such only we look for an impartial verdct) that
its curatoe effects incidentally superior 10 those
of any other medicine now in use. Proud OF TINS

FOUR SIMPLE HERBS, used for the cure OF dis
ease, by THE COPPER COLORED WARRIORS
OF THE WEST. One of the herbs is an eXpecto-
rant, one sudorlfc, one diuretic and one cath.
tic The proper combination of the above forms
medicine, Of such EFFICACY and POWER as
has been hitherto unknown i'll The art of healing
It's mode Of curing is first to neuraze all putreiac-
tive matter in the body second to cause the ex'
pulson of the through the proper outlets,
provided by nature for that purpose consequently
its action is not confined to The bowels, although
it is greatest there but extends TO the nosrils
throat, saval glands, lungs, shin and kidneys.
Each of tho above drains is intended by nature
for the discharge of excretion or lmpurity pecu-
liar to itself, and although we may tor time com
pei the constitution to evacuate the whole whole
through one drain, such treatment cannot fail 10
derapgo the mechanism of the body, aud utterly
rum the health of the patient 1t is true that all
diseases se from impurities OF the blood but il is
also that nature has provided many different
channels for the discharge of these impurities =
therefore we are not likely TO benefit The patient,
by tramplIng on the laws OF nature IN bringing all
the different kinds OF eXcretory matter through one
channel hence the evil of attempting cure all
diseases by course of sweating, vomiting,
physcing, any other method which opens only
class of eXCretories
No medicine deserves TO be called n UaireTSal
Remedy unless its effects extend to each aud every
one of the natural drains and this power is not
en- claimed by any medicine except the Indian Pur.
gative. In accordance with these several proper
ties the operation of the Indian Purgative is regu-
lated by the state of the patients body. Thus, if
the obstructing matter is lodged in the urinal
cretories 1t will act diuretic il in the bronch
al vessels pulmonary eXCretories ii will induce
expectoration; if in the cells of the cellular
brane sxcreores of the skin, gentle and eflec
tuul perspiration will be kept up and, under every
combination of circums ances, it will act more
less rs a catharlic. Here il is proper TO remark,
that although the purgltive always induces an in
creased number of alvine excavations, and Is cGpa
bic of overcoming the most obstinate eases of
cosveness, it does not raise "hurricane" in the
bowels, waste the healthy juices by overaction
Its effects extend TO every part of the system, and
for that not liable to oYeraction in any
part.
No disease ever was or ever will be cured unless
by medicines which produce the effects above men
toned. Every system of practice is more or
less perfect, in proportion to its power of acting
the different eXcretories and the Indian system
claims e-emneuce only because i, possesses the
power of opening, and keeping open all the natural
drains.
The nestimable value of medicine which
|
time, is more apparent when reflect that the hui
man body is complicated machine, consisting of
numberless different and distinct members, all of
which intimately connected, and mutually
DEP endant, that no one part can be injured without
producing a corresponding degree of injury ev-
| cry other part; therefore, one part of the body
cannot be diseased, and another part healthy =
neither one part be cured while another part
remains diseased. Disease begins in the blood, aud
as the blood flows to every part of the system eve.
ry part of the system must become more less dis
ed disease is cured unless the cause is removed
| and to remove the cause must restore the blood
: to healthy state, and if the blood is made healthy
every part of the body mast be the same.
| We have now illustrated the natural or Indian
/ system of practice, and the more it is investigated
the more reasonable it appears; regards it:
TRUTH we have only to reflect that it was taught b,
! NATURE, and therefore mast be true. When the
body stands in need of nourshment, are impel
led by hunger te eat and when it is diseased, we
are mpelled by instinct to medicine and there
cannot be a doubt that if we lived in of ma
ture, this instructive feeling would always direct vi
