w known fact, that every disease, whether
II be in the head or feet, in the brain or meanest
member, whether il be an outward ulcer or AN
inward abscess, are all. though arising from many
causes, reducible to this one grand effect namely
impuri,y Of the blood. For on the healthy or un-
healthy condition Of The Stomach and Bowels en-
tirely depends the rure or impure state Of the
blood. and consequently the healthy or unhealthy
state Of the body.
1t hath been clearly proved in former advertise
rnents that the stomach and bowels are the sover-
egns Of the body, and that by them life or death
is propelled to its remotest extremtes, the head
with its master organ, the brain. being in no wise
more distinguished than the foot in this particular.
How can we then deny the great and leading
truth, that there is a reciprocal influence between
mind and body' The fact is evident-whelher
the one is only modification Of the other will
always continue mystery IN tins state oi exist
enco but our comfort, our reposc, nay, even our
social aud domestic happiness depends upon the
state Of our hillary and digestive organs-and the
man agement and cure Of the disorders OF the mind
must be made by application to the body.
| Were we content TO follow nature, to assist her
in her manifest struggles, what mighty results
might she not effect Every thing would arrange
itself in order, as it were Of course, and the whole
work is half done rs soon as it be once undertake
en-. "Purge out the old leaven that you may
become a new lump" is the language Of script
urea figure applied sprituallysby some, but
how could il have any force unless sanctioned by
practical experience in the body Of matter! ln-
stinct, more unerring guide than our much
boastod reasoning faculty, prompts the horse TO
eat ihorns, thisles, &c. &C. for the purpose OF
purgation. In like manner, the dog, the cat, and
all our domestic animals, whose habits can be
noticed, wander through the fields when cosiive,
making selections Of those herbs which are sua-
bile TO open their bowels and purify their fluids.
Do we not observe that the fea,hered tribe, whose
stomachs act by mechanical force alone, without
the solvent fluid Of the gastric juice, require the
swallowing and retaining Of stony PARTICLES in pro-
portion TO their bulk, to promote digestion and
produce a healthy tone in their fluids, by evacua-
tion
| These animals Of the brutal race, by thus as.
sisting nature, secure themselves from epidemic
contag gion-thOugh they are under similar laws 10
those which govern The human economy. Purga-
ton. which is a word Of equivalent value with
publication, appears then to be a fundamental
principle Of nature Are not the tides the daily
and periodical purifiers Of the ocean Are not
the te,npests and tornadoes the purgatives and
purifiers Of the air! DO we not habitually re-
mark that If this principal Of commo,ion ceases
for a time 10 operate, both water and air become
stagnant And if the circulation Of thy blood, q
Man, should become languid, should the humors
accumulaiing in thy sluggish channels OF life, pre-
vent the healthy current, where Is thy remedy |!
They must be driven down by the bowels, or il
not removed in time, they will soon choke mp the
veins, the arteries, and every passage Of health
and yigor.
From such unqucstionable facts as these, the
all important necessity Of watching diligently the
condition Of the stomach and bowels becomes
self evident and also tho infinite value Of me-
dcine, which will carry of all obnoxious accu-
mula ions from them, without weakening the sys-
tenn, and such a one is-Brandeth's Vegetable
Universal Pills, which in England and America
have stood the test Of trial, and have performed
cures upon thousands Of heIple persons, aler the
usual scientific skill Of physicians had consoled
them with the assurance that they could do no
more. Their properties as an antibilious and
aberient medicine are unrivalled (; all who use,
recommend them their virtues surpass all euo-
gy, and must be used to be appreciated. The
weak and delicate will be strengthened by their
use, not by bracing, but by removing the cause
Of weakness, the gross and corrupt humors Of the
body. They require no change in diet or care Of
any kind. Plain directions accompany each box,
so that every one is his own competent phys
