Feiio,c Citi-ens.
At a time like the present, when our country is liter
ally flooded with nosrums brought from tOrcign cimes,
YOU NAV perhaps think it act OF temerity i'll 10 offer,
as a candidate for your favor and patronage, Medicine
which is strictly AMERICAN. Common sense however,
teaches rs that those herbs which spring spontaneously
from orr native soil must be better adapted to
sttions than t0reign medicines, however useful tue
latter may have been in the countries 10 which they he
long. The climate of the United States stands unrvae
for the produ ton of medicinal plants anu very slte
investigation will suffice 10 convince Tie most skeptlcal
that orr 0rn country is able supply all wants.
d pendent of foreign assistance.
] Deeuy IMPRESSED with the importance Of the above
! facts venture to recommend t,e iNDiAA fOh0A-
TIVE to the patronage OF our fellow citizens in every
section of The Unim as Il natural remedy, applicable 10
our constitutions and competent to cure every durable
disease.
| In bringing medicine before the public for the first
time it is generally thought necessary to impress the
peole with an idea of the difficulties encountered IN Its
discovery the antiquity Of its origin; thus one tells US
that his medicine is ga newly discovered chemical COM
pound the result Of many years intense study ana scIent-
tic tesearch; and another ascribes honor To somebody's
GRASpF THER&c. Now az the success OF a medicine
must depend lis intrinsic mer and not on tie time
or manner in which it discovered, we can not see
the of tsiiy ing for the purpose Oh investing us OH
gin with fictitious antiquity. Such tNiliafles are not
needed the present OCCASION as single d"se oi ihe
Indian luigati,e will suilceo convince every Invalid
(and to cll only look for impartial 'erdicl) That
its curative effects intellectually superior to those OF
any other medicines in Proud oil ihs superb
ority fictitious aid, but give to the "of'd 'o

above forms antipuupscnt and dcolsiiutnt meucIhe'
of such EFFICACY and POWE as has been hitherto
unknown in the art of healing. liz mole OF curing IS

qucntly its action is confined 10 the bowels although

Each of the above drains is intended by nature Tor tie
discharge of m cxcreon peculiar itself, and although
may Tor a time compel the constitution 10 e'a'uate
the whole through drain, such treatment cannot a
derange the mechanism OF the body and utterly ruin

No medicine deserves to be called Universal Rene
dy unless lis effects extends 10 each and every one o Inc
natural drains and this power is moi even claimed 10y any
medicine except The lnian pulsati,e. In accordance
Sit these several properties, The operation o NE indi

The ne,timable value of Il medicine which VIII act
on all the q cIeores at one and Tie same time, IL
moro apprr,i when we reflect thar die hullu body Is

Disease begins in the blood, and as the blood flows ~

eased: disease is cured unless the case Is removed
and to the cause we must restore the b'oou to
healthy state, and if the blood Is made htaltiy every
part OF the body must lie the same.
We have now illustrated the natural or Indian system
Of pra cc and the is Investigated the more re-
asonble il appears; regards its trth we have only
to reflect that il taught by NATURE, and therefore
must be true. When the body stands in need Of nour-
islng impeled by hunger TO eat; and when It Is
diseased we are Impeed by instinct to use medicine;
and there cannot be doubt that il we lived in state oi
nature this instructive feeling would always direct us TO
the PROfE Err MEDICINE; hence the superiority Of
the Indian System. he art Of healing was first learned
in the woods and this day the untutored savage is the
hest medical teache for the Indian practice is the on
one which is consonant to those eternal and lmhutabic
laws which govern the animal economy
Having already proved that the indian Purgatire acts
in direct accordance with the LAWS OF NATURE,
and therefore equal to the cure OF every cuiaDe ds'e
