ADDRrss TO THE AMER CAN PEOPLE
-. Feilo,o Citizens.
At time like the present, when our country is
literally flooded with nostums brought from iore'eh
climes, you may pcrhaps think 1t an act OF 'c"Flly
in to offer, as candidate for your taVor a''uPa
rcnnge,a Medicine which Is STREET AMERICAN
Common sense, however, teaches US, that those
herbs which spring. spontaneously from our own
native soil, must be better adapted t. our consilAu-
tions Than foreign medicines, however useful lie
: later may have been in Il e countries TO wh'th
they belong. The climate of The United states
stlnds unriyallcd for the production of medicinal
plants, and very little investigation will suffice %
convince the most skeptica that our oaon couniryol
able to supply all our wa.'ts INDEPENDENT Is
foreign assistance.
Deeply impressed with the importance of tho
above facts we venture To recommend the LNDLfa
+ URG.4IIFE to the patronage OF our fellow cltl-
xens in every section OF the country. as a natural
remedy appl cable to our constitutions, and ,onpe-
tent to the care of every durable disease
In bringing medicine before the public for the
first time, it is generally thought necessary to i'm
press the people with idea of the dlGfcnties en-
countered in its discovery or the Antiquity OF lis
origin; titus one tells us that his medicine IS "a
newly discovered chemical compound the result Of
many years intense study and scientific research
anu another ascrbes honor to somebody's GRAND-
FATHLR &c. Now rs the success ct medic ne
must depend on its N rim &c merits, aud not on ih3
time mlnner of lis discovery; VIC cannot SEQ the
use of fasifying for the purpose of investigating
It origin with fictitious antiquity. Such auxll-
iaries not needed on tho present occasion, rs
single dose of the Indian Purgnye VIII suffice to
convince every invalid (and tie such only we l'ok
for impartial verdIcD that lis curative effects are IN
caicalably superior to those ofanv her medicine
now in use. Proud of This superiority, we scorn
fictitious aid, but give ii to the world for what ii is
SIMPLY compound OF FOUR SIMPLE HERBS, used
for the cure ofdiseaseo by the COPPER COLOR
< ED WARRIORS OF1HE WEST One of the
herds is an expectorant, one sodorh', ono II dur
ATTIC, and ore catharlic, the proper combination OF
the above forms an antipurcscnt and deobsiruent
medicine, Of such efficacy and power as has been
hitherto unknown in the art OF healing. It's mode
CT elrlng is first to noutraleze all Yutrelactve nat
Ter in the body; second to cause tie expulsion Of
the same through the proper outlets, plnoided by
nature Tor thai purpose; consequently its action Is
NOT canfncd to- the bowels, a,thonghit is gacater
hore, but extends to the nostris, throat, salva
glands. lungs, skinnnd kidneys.
Each OF the above drains is intended by nature for
the discharge ofan excreton peculiar to itself, and
although W. may for time compel the constitution
to cvacuate the whole through one dfan such treat
ment cannot fan TO dorangn the mecanisn of the
body, and utterly ruin tho health of the patient. II
is true that all diseases arise from impurities OF
blood, but it is also true that nature has provided
many channels for the discharge &c these impure
ties; therefore not likely to benefit the pa
! ,ent by trampling on the laws ofnatnre, in bring.
ing all The different kinds of exeretory matter
lthrou u, one channel: hence the evil OF attempting
10 cure all diseases by a course of sweating, or ply
sicing or any other method which opens only one
class of cxcrctories.
M medicine deserves to be called Unlvcrs rem

of The natural drains and this power is not even
claimed by any medicine except the Indian fur'
gayc In accordance with these several properties
tho operation Of the Indian Pdrgative IS regulated

TO remark, that although.the purgaive always m
duces an increased number Of aivinc excavations
md is capable of overcoming the most obstinate
cases of cosveness, il does not raise "hurcane
in the bowels nor waste The healthy juices by ~ r
evacuation. Its effects extend 10 every part oil the
system, and fer that reason are not Liable TO over
action in any one part
No disease ever was or ever will he cured unless
by medicines which produce the effects above mel
tioned,-Every system of practice IS more or less
perfect, in proportion TO It's power OF acting on The
different excelories; and the Indian system claims
prccnliuencc only because it possesses tho power
Of openng and keeping open all the natural drains
The inesi:mablc value of the medicine which
.svill act on all the excretoIie, at one and at the
Same lime, is apparent when we reflect that
teh hlm'n body is complicated machine,
consisting of numberless different and distinct
members, all ofwhich are intimately connected
and mutually DEPENDENT that no one part can be
injured without producing corresponding degree
of injury on every other part; therefore any OF the
body cannot be diseased, and another part healthy
neither can one part be cured while another remains
diseased. Disease begins in the blood, as the bloc
flows to eqery part fthe system. must become more
oil less diseased disease is cured unless the cause
isremoved, and to remove the cause we must restore
