:" lIEREAS, il il now an absolute and well
w known fact, that every disease, whether
il be in the head or feet, in the brain or mesnest
member, whether il he an outward ulcer or an
inward abscess, are all, though arising from many
causes, reducble to this one grand effect namely,
inpurity Of the blood. For on the healthy or un-
healthy condition Of the Stomach and Bowels en-
tirely depends the pure or impure state Of tho
blood, and consequently the healthy or unhealthy
state Of the body.
II hath been clearly proved in former advertise
nents that the stomach and bowels are the sover-
egns OF the body, and that by them life or death
ID propelled TO It's remotest extremies, the head,
with It's master organ, the brain. being in wise
more distinguished than the foot in this particular.
How can we then deny the great and leading
truth, that there is reciprocal influence between
mind and body! The fact is evident-wheiher
the one is only modification Of The other will
always coniinue mystery in this state Of exist
enco but our comfort our repose, nay, even our
social and domestic happiness depends upon the
state Of our hillary and digestive organs-and the
management and cure Of the disorders Of the mind
must be mnde 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, it Of course, and the whoc
work is half done soon as it be once undertake
en-. "Purge out the old leaven that you may
become new lump" is the language Of script
Urea figure applied spiritually by some, but
how could il have any force unless sanctioned by
practical experience in the body Of matter? In
stnct, a more unerring guide than our much
boasied reasoning faculty, prompts the horse TO
eat thorns, thisies, &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 costive,
making selections Of those herbs which are suita-
BILE to open their bowels and purify their. fluids.
DO we not observe that the ieathercd tribe whose
stomachs act by mechanical force alone, without
tho 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 healthy tone in their fluids, by evacua-
lion
These animals Of the brutal race, by thus as
sisting nature, secure themselves from epidemic
ontagion-though they are under similar laws 10
those which govern the human economy. Purga-
tion, which is word Of equivalent value with
purlfcaton appears then to be n fundamental
principle Of nature. Are not the iides the daily
and periodical purifiers q the cceau' Are not
the tempests and tornadoes The purgatives and
purifiers Of the air DO we not habluay re-
mark that if this principal Of commolon ceases
for time TO operate, both water and air become
s,agnant' And if the circulation Of thy blood, o
Man, should become languid, should the hulnors
accommodating in thy sluggish channels OF life, pre-
vent the healthy current, where is thy remedy
They must be driven down by the bowels, or if
not removed in time, they will soon choke up tho
veins, the arteries, and every passage Of health
and vigor.
From such unquestonable facts these. the
all important, necessity of watching diligently the
condition Of the stomach and bowels becomes
scIr-evident and also the infinite value Of me-
dicnc, which will carry OF all obnoxious uccu-
mutations from them, without weakening the sys-
TEN, 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 helpless persons, aior the
usual scientific skill of physicians had consoed
them with the assurance that they could do no
more. Their properties as an antibilious and
aLerent medicine are unrival!ed all who use,
recommend them their virtues surpass all eulo-
gy, and must be used to be appreciated. Tho
weak aud delicate will be strengthened by their
use, not by bracing, but by removing The Cause
of weakness, the gross and corrupt hunors Of the
body. They require no change ip diet or Of
any kind. Plain directions accompany each box,
so tina, every one is his own competent physician.
